심실중격결손을 동반하지 않은 폐동맥 폐쇄(pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum)는 전체 선천적 심장병의 1%를 차지하는 드문 질환으로 형태학적 특성에 따라 다양한 치료적 접근이 필요하다. 이에 저자들은 정상 크기발달의 우심실을 가진 심실중격결손을 동반하지 않은 폐동맥 폐쇄가 있는 신생아에서 풍선판막성형술 후 지속적인 저산소증을 보여 동맥관 스텐트를 이용하여 거의 정상적인 심장구조와 기능으로 호전된 1례를 경험하였기에 보고하는 바이다.

15세 남아가 경도의 운동 시 호흡곤란, 우연히 발견된 심잡음을 주소로 내원하였다. 심초음파 소견에서 주로 심실중격을 침범한 종양에 의한 좌심실유출로 협착을 보였고, 심도자에서 측정한 좌심실유출로 평균 압력차는 20 mmHg였다. 체외순환하에 대동맥절개를 통해 종양의 부분절제를 시행하였고, 병리검사 결과 심근이형종으로 진단되었다. 병변은 중증비대를 보이는 성숙한 심근세포와 주변부 섬유화가 주를 이루었다. 술 후 5년간의 외래추적관찰에서 부정맥 발생이나 종양 재발의 증거는 관찰되지 않았다.

Cardiac myxoma is the most common benign tumor of the heart, accounting for about half of primary cardiac tumors. It has clinical importance because the excision of the intracardiac myxoma is curative and long term survival is excellant, Their average size is about 5~6cm in diameter in most reported cases. We have experienced a giant atrial myxoma, arised from the interatrial septum of the left atrial side, and resected under the cardiopulmonary bypass.

Primary tumors of the heart are extremely rare, and about 25 per cent of primary cardiac tumors are malignant. Recently, We experienced a case of primary cardiac liposarcoma occurred on the right ventricular outflow tract and extended into the main pulmonary artery. The patient was 57 year-old man and the chief complaints was severe exertional dyspnea. Emergency operation to relieve the right ventricular outflow tract obstruction was performed under cardiopulmonary bypass. The tumor was 5$\times$4$\times$3 cm in size and infiltrated into the right ventricle and ventricular septum. The tumor in the main pulmonary artery was removed without any difficulty but the on the right ventricular outflow tract was difficult to remove completely. The patient was recovered without any specific problems. After successful surgical resection and postoperative radiotherapy the patient discharged with good condition. Herein, the clinical characteristics of cardiac liposarcoma, the problems in differential diagnosis, the prognosis and current therapy are reviewed.

An atrial septal defect (ASD) is a congenital hole in the atrial septum that allows flow between the two atria. Small ASDs are usually well-tolerated defects and do not result in significant clinical abnormalities. In large ASDs or in the presence of other cardiac defects, clinically significancy is increased. Atrial septal defects in 2 Dogs with cardiac and respiratory signs were diagnosed at seoul animal medical center. In ascultation, systolic murmur and the splitting of second heart sound were heard at pulmonary or tricuspid valve region. In radiograph, right-sided cardiomegaly, pulmonary artery dilation, increased pulmonary vasculature makings, and pleural effusion or pulmonary edema signs were observed. In echocardiography, the region, location and size of septal defect was identified. Also, the direction and degree of shunt was measured. These dogs were treated with medicine for cardiac failure. One dog is well-tolerated, the other dog died.

Severe cardiac injury due to nonpenetrating blunt chest trauma is not uncommon, but survival to reach the hospital is rare. Successful management of fatal cardiac rupture depends on the high suspicion and on the prompt exploration. In the patient presented, the interatrial septal rupture was found associated with the right atrial rupture and the patient was successfully treated under the cardiopulmonary bypass. Although many types of cardiac rupture cases survived have been reported in the literature, we have been unable to find the interatrial septal rupture case like us. We would therefore like to report our experience with surgical repair of nonpenetrating rupture of right atrium and interatrial septum.

Total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR) is very rare congenital heart disease. 25-year old male was admitted our hospital with dyspnea, headache and syncope as chief complaint. He was confirmed as mixed type TAPVR by echocardiography and cardiac catheterization. In this case, mixed type TAPVR was consisted with supracardiac type connection of left pulmonary vein and cardiac type of right pulmonary vein. Supracardiac type of left pulmonary common channel was anastomosed to the left auricular appendage during total cardiopulmonary bypass with fibrillating heart. Cardiac type of right pulmonary vein was operated during moderate hypothermia and aortic cross clamping. Coronary sinus septum was incised into ASD and closed with Gore-Tex patch so that right pulmonary blood flow directed to the left atrium. The patient's post-operative course was uneventful.

Pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum, and with VSD were uncommon congenital anomalies with high mortality in the neonatal period. Those survivals depend on an adequate interatrial communication or interventricular communication and pulmonary flow via large aortopulmonary collateral including PDA. Recently we experienced surgical correction of 2 cases pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum and with VSD. On case 1, 10-years old male patient was confirmed as pulmonary valvular membranous atresia with intact ventricular septum combined with large functioning PFO and mild tricuspid incompetence. So we performed total correction under the E.C.C, that was PDA ligation, RVOT reconstruction with monocusp valved outflow patch [16mm], repair of tricuspid insufficiency and closure of PFO. Post-operative hemodynamic result was good and there was no event during hospital course. On case 2, 16-years old female patient was diagnosed as pulmonary atresia with VSD and PDA. MPA was absent, remained fibrous cord like remnant and type of VSD was subaortic defect [3cm by 3cm in the size]. PDA was located at the usual site. Under the E.C.C. VSD patch closure through the right ventriculotomy, anastomosis between the right ventricular outflow tract and the pulmonary bifurcated site with the extra-cardiac Hancock valved conduit [22cm] and PDA ligation were performed.

We have experienced a rare case of traumatic ventricular septal defect caused by fall down injury. The patient suffered from congestive heart failure after trauma and represented new developing typical murmur. Cardiac catheterization revealed a large left-to-right shunt at the ventricular level and a 4.4:1 ratio of pulmonary to systemic flow. Left ventricular angiogram also showed ventricular septal defect low in the muscular septum. At operation, the right ventricle and pulmonary artery were found to be moderately dilated. A marked systolic thrill was palpable over the right ventricle near the apex. Through a small left ventriculotomy an oval defect, 2x.3 cm with a firm scarred margin, was found in the lower muscular ventricular septum. This defect was repaired using Dacron patch and ventriculotomy was closed with long strip of Teflon felt. Postoperative course was uneventful and discharged in good condition.

We have experienced a case of ventricular septal defect due to blunt chest trauma. A 22 year old male patient was admitted due to chest pain after Motor cycle accident on July 1st,1993. On 5th hospital day, sudden onset of dyspnea was noted and auscultation represented newly developed systolic murmur. A cardiac catheterization and Left ventriculogram revealed ruptured septum at the apical portion. Because there was open wound on anterior chest wall and congestive heart failure was medically controlled, the patient was discharged for elective operation. He was readmitted on August 14th, 1993.At operation, ventricular septal defect was found in apico-posterior muscular septal area, about 2.0 x 1.5 cm in size. The defect was repaired by double velour patch with interrupted suture and ventriculotomy was closed with Teflon felt. The patient`s postoperative course was uneventful and discharged 10 days postoperatively without complication. The patient have been followed up~ for 2 months. He is on functional class I with small amount of residual shunt at the ventricular septum.
