Mitral valve disease is the most common disease of the acquired heart diseases, and atrial septal defect is also one of common congenital heart diseases. Coexistence of these two lesions is rare, but of great hemodynamic interest. Among 443 cases with mitral valve disease and 90 cases with atrial septal defect experienced in the Department of Thoracic Surgery, Seoul National University Hospital, there were 6 cases with atrial septal defect complicated by mitral valve disease. 1. Of the 6 patients, four were female and two were male. The age was ranged from 18 to 46. 2. Atrial septal defect was ostium secundum type in all cases, and the mitral valvular lesions were regurgitation in four and stenosis in two. Type II ventricular septal defect was also combined in one of the cases. 3. The atrial septal defect was corrected by, primary closure and the mitral valve was replaced with the prosthetic or bioprosthetic valve in all cases. The combined ventricular septal defect was closed using Teflon felt patch. 4. The operative result was good except in one who was expired of bacterial endocarditis 4 months after hospital discharge.

Atrial septal defect is the most common of the congenital heart disease in the adult. Since the first description of atrial septal defect by Rokitansky in 1857, this anomaly has been studied by many workers in past one century. In 1953, Lewis had first corrected the atrial septal defect under direct vision with deep hypothermia, and Gibbon [1954] had first done the atrial septal defect under direct vision with extracorporeal circulation. In our college [May 2’ 1977], we have first repaired the A.S.D. under direct vision with artificial heart-lung machine and, the defect was 4x5cm in size which was closed by Dacron patch. This patient was 12 year old girl who is well now. [postoperative 13 days]

We have experienced a case of congenital heart disease who developed pulmonaryaspergilloma and then had open heart surgery associated with pulmonary resection. A 53 year old female patient was admitted of fever and chill without cyanosis and hemoptysis. Chest CT showed cavitary lesion with enhanced wall in right midle lung and huge pulmonary artery. Secundum atrial septal defect was identified by echocardiography and catheterization, preoperatively. The patient was identified finally as atrial septal defect associated with pulmonary aspergilloma, in operation and pathology.

Atrial septal defect is one of the most frequently encountered congenital heart disease. Up to December 31, 1976, 1682 cardiac patients received cardiac catheterization in the cardiac department of Yonsei university medical college. Out of the 1682 cardiac patients 723 cases had congenital heart disease and only 116 cases had congetial atrial septal defect. This amounted to 16.04% of all those with congenital heart disease. 58 cases of congenital atrial septal defect operated in the chest surgery department were presented. Of these 58 cases of atrial septal defect, 27 cases were male and 31 cases were female. Their ages ranged from 5 years to 54 years. The systolic pressure of the main pulmonary artery of 40 out of the 58 cases of atrial septal defect was below 40% of that of the systemic blood pressure: in 6 cases, the range of the systolic pressure of the main pulmonary artery was 50-90mmHg; in 12 cases, the range of the systolic pressure of the main pulmonary artery was 40-50mmHg. Average age of these was 30. 1 years. This study tends to show that Korean patients with atrial septal defect even though younger have a slight higher systolic pressure of the main pulmonary artery than Western patients have. The pulmonary blood is 1.5-2.5 times of systemic blood flow in 52 cases out of 58 cases of atrial septal defect.In only one of the 58 cases of atrial septal defect, the Rp was found to be as high as 45% of Rs. All other cases were below this level.51 cases had ostium secundum defect, 4 out of these cases had ostium secundum defect combined with mitral incompetence and 6 out of them had double ostium secundum defect. The remaining 7 cases had ostium primum defect. Their atrial defects were repaired under direct vision utilizing extracorporeal circulation, by hemodilution technic combined with moderate hypothermia. 44 cases [2nd atrial septal defect] were repaired by direct sutures while 14 cases, including the 7 cases ostium primum defects needed patches [1 pericardium and 13 teflon patch]. In 4 cases there were single defects while showed two defects. However the associated septal defect was so small that it could be closed by direct sutures. The size of the defect ranged between 6.0cm2and 10.0cm2 in 19 cases[33.7%]: the smallest being 0. 5cm2 and the largest 24cm2. The surgical mortality was 2 cases [3.4%]. These one case with ostium primum defect, could not be resuscitated on operation table. The cause of death in this case was myocardial failure and MI. The other, a case of ostium primum defect had a second operation on the first operative day due to massive bleeding from LV vent-line insertion site.The patient died on 26th post-operative day due to sepsis.

Ventricular septal defect was the most common congenital Heart disease admitted to the Severance Hospital from December, 1963 to June 30. 1977. A total of 1,811 cardiac patients received cardiac catheterization in the CardiacCenter of Yonsei University Medical College. Out of the 1,811 cardiac patients, 791 cases had congenital heart disease and of these 172 cases had ventricular septal defect. This amounted to 21.7% of all those with congenital heart disease. Seventy cases of ventricular septal defect operated on in the chest surgery department are presented. Of these 70 cases of ventricular septal defect, 54 cases were male and 16 cases were female. Their ages ranged from 4/12 months to 32 years. The ratio of systolic pressure of the main pulmonary to systemic artery [Pp/Ps] for 29 of the 59 isolated ventricular septal defects was below 45 percent. Pp/Ps ratio for 19 of the 59 isolated ventricular septal defects was 75 percent. The patients were mostly below fifteen years of age. Out of 64 cases, there were 36 cases of type II defects, 20 cases of type I, 4 cases of type III , 2 cases of type IV, one case of both type II and one case of left ventricular right atrial communication. The anomalies associated with ventricular septal defect were 13 in all; 4 cases of aortic insufficiency, 3 cases of ruptured aneurysm of the sortie sinus of valsalva, 2 cases of ruptured aneurysm of the sortie sinus of valsalva with aortic insufficiency, 2 cases of patent ductus arteriosus, one case of ruptured aneurysm of the aortic sinus of valsalva with atrial septal defect [secundum type] and one case of atrial septal defect [secundum type]. Overall mortality was 8.6 percent. The mortality in pulmonary artery banding was 37.5 percent. The causes of mortality were in one case congestive heart failure, in one case asphyxia and in one case respiratory insufficiency. Tile mortality in ventricular septal defect associated with pulmonary hypertension was 7.1 percent. The cause of mortality was in one case low cardiac output syndrome. There was no mortality in the ventricular septal defects without pulmonary hypertension and mortality in the ventricular septal defect. In ventricular septal defect associated with combined anomalies, the causes mortality were in one case respiratory insufficiency and in one case congestive heart failure.

Secundum atrial septal defect occupies about 10 to 15% of congenital heart diseases, and the surgical accomplishment is outstanding, so that the operative mortality is getting near to zero percent. But, the methods of correction, direct closure versus patch closure are still controversial and there is no absolute method about it. Some surgeons prefer direct closure technique for its simplicity and lesser thrombogenicity but others, afraid of arrhythmia and suture detachment after closure of large defect, prefer patch closure. Usually most surgeons use direct suture technique in small and moderate sized defects and patch closure in large defects. In our hospital, 156 cases of isolated secundum atrial septal defect were closed directly by double continuous over and over suture using 5-0 polypropylene[prolene , regardless their sizes and the amounts of shunt flow. There were no operative mortality and no serious complications such as heart block, suture detachment and embolism.

A 6-month-old mature intact female Siamese cat presented with exertional dyspnea. Diagnostic studies revealed pleural effusion, grade 4/6 left basal systolic murmur, deep S-wave in electrocardiograph leads I, II, and III, cardiomegaly with pleural effusion on radiography, pulmonic systolic (~5.8 m/sec) and tricuspid (3.6 m/sec) regurgitant jets, atrial septal defect, and a hypoplastic right outflow tract. Based on these results, the case was diagnosed as pulmonic stenosis with atrial septal defect. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report describing pulmonic stenosis with atrial septal defect in a cat in Korea.
