원발성 폐동맥 육종은 매우 드문 질환이다. 임상증상과 방사선학적 소견이 폐동맥 색전증과 유사하기 때문에 진단 시 폐동맥 색전증으로 오진되는 예가 빈번하고, 본 질환의 빠른 진행속도로 인하여, 사망 후 부검을 통해 확인되는 예도 있다. 따라서 폐동맥 색전증으로 진단된 환자가 혈전의 원발병소가 불분명하면서 항응고제에 반응하지 않는다면, 원발성 폐동맥 육종을 의심해 보아야 한다. 폐동맥 색전증으로 진단받은 57세 남자 환자가 5개월간의 항응고제 치료 후에도 우측폐의 종괴모양 병변이 증가하고 주폐동맥 색전증의 크기가 증가되어 수술적인 치료과정에서 폐동맥 내막육종(Pulmonary artery intimal sarcoma)으로 확인되었다. 수술전 혈전으로 의심되었던 저음영의 종괴는 동결조직검사 상 폐동맥 육종으로 의심되었으며, 심낭에 침윤이 있었다. 그 병변과 독립적으로 우폐동맥과 폐실질에서도 혈관육종이 발견되었으며, 인공심폐기하에서 주폐동맥의 완전 절제술 시행 후 Gore-tex graft 치환술과 우측 전폐절제술을 시행하였다. 수술 후 2차례의 항암치료를 시행한 후에 퇴원하였다.

Twenty-one patients with Double Chambered Right Ventricle [DCRV] associated with Ventricular Septal Defect [VSD] were treated by open heart surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass with moderate hypothermia in the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Hanyang University Hospital between June 1982 and October 1984. The following results were obtained 1. The symptoms and physical signs, specific for DCRV, could not be identified. 2. The radiologic findings on simple chest X-ray, specific for DCRV, could not be identified. 3. Electrocardiographic findings, specific for DCRV, could not be identified. 4. Cardiac catheterization was found to be the most important diagnostic method, revealing pressure gradient between proximal chamber and distal chamber in the right ventricle. The average pressure gradient between two chambers showed 48.1523.29 mmHg[varying from 15mmHg to 94mmHg]. 5. Cardiac angiography was found to visualize the anomalous muscle bundles in right ventricle [in 17 cases, 81%] but the evidence of pressure gradient between two chambers within right ventricle is considered necessary for the diagnosis of DCRV. 6. Via surgical observation, anatomical and pathologic findings of the anomalous muscle bundles, associated DCRV were identified. 7. As the direct pressure was measured on the operating table before and after surgery, the average pressure gradient across the muscle bundles showed 40.5219.75mmHg [varying from 16 to 89mmHg] preoperatively and 8.909.72mmHg [varying from 0 to 32mmHg] postoperatively, indicating significant surgical correction of the obstruction present. 8. The presence of anomalous muscle bundles, dividing the right ventricle into two separated chambers, and the presence of the pressure gradient over 15mmHg are considered necessary for the diagnosis of DCRV.

Hypothermic cardioplegia is a well established method to optimize myocardial preservation during ischemic arrest, and it has been demonstrated that oxygenation of crystalloid cardioplegic solutions markedly enhances myocardial protection, The addition of a small amount of red blood cells to a crystalloid cardioplegic solutions improves capillary perfusion. Considering these results, we changed our cardioplegic solution from cold oxygenated crystalloid[Group 2] to cold oxygenated diluted blood[Group 1]. In this investigation, we examined the effects of two hypothermic potassium cardioplegic solutions on myocardial preservation in 50 patients[30 of Group 1 and 20 of Group 2] of child age group. Factors considered preoperatively included age, sex, body weight, preoperative diagnosis, and they showed no statistical differences, Intraoperative factors considered included duration of cardiopulmonary bypass, duration of aortic occlusion, operative mortality, which also revealed no statistically significant differences, We measured the serum levels of GOT[glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase] and CPK [creatine phosphokinase] during the first two days postoperatively, which, in both groups, showed significantly higher values until postoperative 1 day, and decreasing tendancy thereafter, however we failed to find any significant difference between two groups regarding the serum levels of those enzymes each day. Time for extubation and use of inotropics also revealed no significant differences. Defibrillation was needed less in Group 1 than in Group 2[p<0.05], and one case of supraventricular tachyarrhythmia occured in Group l. We conclude that cold oxygenated diluted blood cardioplegia provides no less preservation than does an oxygenated crystalloid cardioplegic solution in child age group.

The present study was performed to evaluate hemodynamic effects on the pericardial patch graft for stenosis of right ventricle outflow tract in 19 patients of tetralogy of Fallot. The stenosis of right ventricle outflow tract was associated with or without pulmonary annular nar-rowing, pulmonary valvular stenosis, and hypoplastic narrowing of pulmonary artery. Total correction of tetralogy of Fallot was performed under cardiopulmonary bypass with moderate hypothermia and cardioplegic cardiac arrest. Ventricular septal defects were closed with Teflon patch graft. The chamber pressures in the heart were measured before and after a total correction of tetralogy of Fallot. The data of pressure measurement and the results of postoperative observation of pericardial patch were as followings: 1. Systolic and diastolic pressure of right ventricle was decreased after operation from $96.0{\pm}14.7/10.0{\pm}14.4mmHg$ to $61.0{\pm}13.1/8.0{\pm}9.3mmHg$. 2. Systolic and diastolic pressure of pulmonary artery was increased after operation from $18.0{\pm}5.6/10.0{\pm}5.5mmHg$ to $31.0{\pm}10.7/14.0{\pm}4.9mmHg$. 3. Preoperative pressure gradient between right ventricle and pulmonary artery was decreased immediately after operation from 78.0mmHg to 30.0mmHg. 4. It was observed that excellent widening effects of right ventricle outflow tract was resulted from pericardial patch graft. 5. No postoperative bleeding from pericardial patch graft was observed. 6. Aneurysm formation of pericardial patch was not be observed during 1 to 6 years postoperative periods.

Fifty cases of open heart surgery were done in the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Busan National University Hospital during 16 months from July, 1981 to October, 1982. The clinical data were analyzed and summerized as follows. 1. There were 34 cases (68%) of congenital anomalies and 16 cases (32%) of acquired heart diseases. Among the congenital cases, 27 were acyanotic and 7 were cyanotic. All of the acquired heat diseases, 16 cases were valvular diseases and they had valvular replacement surgery. 2. The age distribution of the congenital anomalies ranged from 6 to 27 years with mean age of 14.2 years, and the acquired heart diseases from 18 to 44 years mean age of 27.5 years. The difference of sex distribution was no significance. 3. The clinical minifestations in acyanotic congenital anomalies were exertional dyspnea (81.5%), recurrent respiratory infection (55.6%) and palpitation (22.2%), and in cyanotic congenital anomalies were exertional dyspnea (100%), syncope(57.1%) and growth retardation(57.1%), and in acquired heart diseases were dyspnea(100%), edema (62.5%) and general weakness (62.5%) 4. During the cardiopulmonary bypass, mild to moderate core cooling was performed and added topical cooling for more accurate myocardial preservation. 5. Two kinds of cardioplegic solution used in our institute were Bretschneider solution for the first 7 cases and mixed Harmann's solution 1 L with glucose 5gm, potassium chloride 26 mEq and sodium bicarbonate 24 mEq, making 376 mosmol/L and pH 8.3 at $25^{\circ}C$, for the rest 43 cases. 6. Various kinds of postoperative complications occurred in 14 cases (28%) and showed overall mortality 12%. The mortality along with each disease was 7.4% in congenital acyanotic cases, 42.9% in congenital cyanotic cases and 6.3% in acquired valvular diseases. 7. Pre-and postoperative diagnostic incompatibility was seen in 6 cases (12%). 8. The artificial valves used in the replacement surgery were lonescu-Shiley bovine xenograft in 6 cases and Carpentier-Edwards porcine xenograft in 10 cases.

Background: Minimally invasive cardiac surgery has emerged as an alternative to conventional open surgery. This report reviews our experience with atrial septal defect using the da VinciTM surgical robot system. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included 50 consecutive patients who underwent atrial septal defect repair using the da VinciTM surgical robot system between October 2007 and May 2011. Among these, 13 patients (26%) were approached through a totally endoscopic approach and the others by mini-thoracotomy. Nineteen patients had concomitant procedures including tricuspid annuloplasty (n=10), mitral valvuloplasty (n=9), and maze procedure (n=4). The mean follow-up duration was $16.9{\pm}10.4$ months. Results: No remnant interatrial shunt was detected by intraoperative or postoperative echocardiography. The atrial septal defects were mainly repaired by Gore-Tex patch closure (80%). There was no operative mortality or serious surgical complications. The aortic cross clamping time and cardiopulmonary bypass time were $74.1{\pm}32.2$ and $157.6{\pm}49.7$ minutes, respectively. The postoperative hospital stay was $5.5{\pm}3.3$ days. Conclusion: The atrial septal defect repair with concomitant procedures like mitral valve repair or tricuspid valve repair using the da VinciTM system is a feasible method. In addition, in selected patients, complete port access can be helpful for better cosmetic results and less musculoskeletal injury.
