Severe tricuspid regurgitation resulting from a flail leaflet is a rare cause of neonatal cyanosis. We report a neonate with profound cyanosis and severe tricuspid regurgitation caused by a rupture of the papillary muscle supporting the anterior leaflet, without other structural heart defects. Ductal patency could not be established. The repair of the tricuspid valve was performed after initial stabilization by using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

이화여자대학교 흉부외과에서는 매우 드물게 발생하는 흉부둔상에 의한 삼첨판막 역류증 환자에 있어서 mE를 사용하여 새로운 건삭을 만들어 주고 판막링을 이용하여 판막륜 성형술을 시행하여 좋은 결과를 얻었기에 보고하는 바이다. 환자는 3층 높이의 건물에서 떨어져서 응급실을 방문했으며 심에코 검사상 전유두근의 파열에 의한 심한 삼 첨판막 역류증의 소견을 보였으나 증상이 경미하여 퇴원하였다. 그러나 호흡곤란 및 심비대가 증가하여 외 상후 4개월에 수술을 시행하였으며 수술후 시행한 심에코상 삼첨판막 역류증은 보이지 않았고 호흡곤란도 사라졌다.

Traumatic tricuspid regurgitation is a rare complication of blunt chest trauma caused by chordal rupture, anterior papillary muscle rupture and anterior leaflet tear. Since clinical symptoms are vague, early diagnosis is difficult and some patient exhibit symptoms of right heart failure. Right heart failure has been the traditional indication for surgical treatment, such as tricuspid valve replacement. Recently, early detection using transthoracic echocardiography and surgical treatment, like valve repair, prior to overt right heart failure have been shown to better prognosis. We report a case of traumatic tricuspid regurgitation with chordal rupture in patient due to traffic accident.

1994년 4월부터 1995년 3월까지 승모판폐쇄부전 환자 6명에서 확장성 polytetrafluoroethylene을 사용하여 건삭재건 수술술기인 새로운 건삭형성술을 이용하여 승모판 재건을 시도하였다. 승모판 폐쇄부전의 원인으로는 3명에서 전첨탈출(anterior leaflet prolapse), 나머지 3명은 양첨탈출(both leaflet prolapse)이었다. 6례 환자의 평균연령은 65세(범위 55∼75)였으며, 남성 3명, 여성 3명이었다. 수술 사망례는 없었고, 수술후 합병증 없이 퇴원하여 현재 관찰중이다.

Objectives: Various techniques of endoscopic thyroidectomy have been developed in thyroid resection since 1998 in the aspect of excellent cosmetic viewpoint. Of them, we evaluated our experiences and advantages of gasless axillary approach technique for resection of dominant thyroid nodules. Material and Methods: Twenty-nine cases of thyroid nodules were operated by the technique of gasless axillary approach during one year from December 2003 to December 2004. Twenty four patients underwent total lobectomy and five patients were partial lobectomy. Results: The operation time of first case took 300 minutes, however it became gradually shortened with case experiences down to 100-120 minutes. Pathologically, nodular hyperplasia was twenty cases, follicular adenoma five cases, papillary carcinoma three patients, and Hashimoto's thyroiditis one patient. There was no case of conversion to open thyroidectomy. Three cases of postoperative hoarseness were recovered spontaneously in 3 months. Hospital stay was four days for most patients. The cosmetic result was excellent without visible scar in anterior neck and chest. Conclusion: Endoscopic thyroidectomy via gasless axillary approach shows excellent result in cosmetic view point with hidden incision scar at axilla, and shorter hospitalization. However a question of longer operation time for dissection of the long plane over pectoral muscle is still remained.
