Obstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract occurs in many various positions. Recently, obstruction due to anomalous muscle bundle has been clearly recognized. This anomaly is caused by a large anomalous muscle bundle, which creates an obstruction low in the body of the right ventricle and divides it into two chambers. Three cases of double chambered right ventricle were treated surgically utilizing cardiopulmonary bypass in the Department of Chest Surgery, College of Medicine, Seoul National University. 1] All of the 3 cases were female. 2] In 2 cases, FKG findings were RVH and RAD, but in case 2, normal EKG findings. 3] In case 2, no pressure gradient between the inflow portion and outflow portion of the right ventricle was observed, but in case 1 and 3, pressure gradients were 70 and 64 mmHg, respectively. 4] In 2 of the 3 cases, type II VSD was combined to double chambered right ventricle. 5] All of the 3 cases were discharged with symptomatic improvement after operation.

Massive air embolism during cardiopulmonary bypass is uncommon but serious and often lethal complication. Following this catastrophic event, the immediate institution of retrograde arterial blood perfusion via superior vena cava was made to remove air emboli from cerebral circulation. This method was performed by removing the arterial perfusion line from aortic cannula and connecting it to superior vena caval cannula. Then, retrograde perfusion at a flow rate of 2Umin via superior vena cava was carried out for 3 minutes. After air returning from the aortic cannula was identified, each line was connected to the cannulae primarily. In 2 cases who had massive air emboli due to air pumping into arterial line, the postoperative complete recovery resulted from this technique, which was used in conjunction with other therapy postoperatively.

A direct communication between the left ventricle and right atrium is a relatively uncommon defect. Familiarity with this anomaly has become increasingly important, however, since the preoperative findings may be identical with those of an atrial septal defect. The left ventricle is directly related to the right atrium over. an area of the membranous ventricular septum which extends superior to the septal attachment of the right atrioventricular valve in the LV-RA communication. The clinical triad of a ventricular septal defect murmur, cardiac enlargement, and an arteriovenous shunt at atrial level is characteristic of the malformation. A 2-year-old boy with left ventriculo-right atrial communication has operated at the Maryknoll Hospital. Under the cardiopulmonary bypass, the atrium was opened, there was a jet-blood stream just above the atria-ventricular portion adjacent to the septal leaflet of the tricuspid valve.

Aneurysmal rupture of sinus Valsalva is known as one of rare cardiac disease and not controlled with medical treatment. We experienced 9 cases which were composed with 7 case of male and 2 cases of female during last 15 years. 7 cases were ruptured into right ventricle from right. coronary sinus and 2 cases were ruptured into right atrium from non-coronary sinus. The diagnosis was made with cardiac catheteriza1icn and cineangiccardicgram but 2 cases were misdiagnosed with only cardiac catheterization. All cases were corrected under cardiopulmonary bypass with means of direct suture with tdlon pledget by transatrial or transventricular approach. All were not confirmed in it's origin because of no history, no evidences of syphilis, TB, or bacterial endocarditis and only fibrosis in pathologic report. In postoperative course, 1 case had postoperative bleeding and 1 case was sufferd from left hemiplegia due to may be air embolism. Follow up study revealed all patient go on their usual life well with good improvement at this present time.

We experienced a case of traumatic aneurysm of descending thoracic aorta by an automobile accident. The patient was 23-year-old-male with a traumatic aortic aneurysm [6x12cm] on the descending thoracic aorta just distal to the origin of the left subclavian artery. Exposure was obtained through a left posterolateral thoracotomy incision in the fourth intercostal space and then partial femoro-femoral cardiopulmonary bypass was established.After aortic cross- clamping, the aneurysmal sac was opened and repaired with interposition of Dacron vascular graft and aortic cross-clamping period lasted for 100 minutes. Postoperative bleeding and vocal cord paralysis were complicated, but bleeding was controlled by reoperation and vocal cord paralysis was improved. Follow up was continued for 14months and postoperative course was uneventful.

Isolated congenital aneurysm of the left atrium with intact pericardium is a rate anomaly, which usually presents with arrhythmia, cerebral embolism or abnormalities on routine chest X-ray. Surgery is indicated in most cases to eliminate a potential source of systemic emboli and arrhythmias. A 42-year-old woman having cervical cancer, she was suspected of having a left atrial aneurysm on review of chest X-ray and confirmed by echocardiography and cardiac catheterization. Surgical resection of Left atrial aneurysm was achieved without complication using median sternotomy with cardiopulmonary bypass. The postoperative course was uneventful.

기관지 동맥류는 드물긴 하지만 파열의 위험성이 높고 파열시에는 치명적이므로 발견 즉시 치료를 요하는 질환이다. 20년 전부터 기관지 확장증으로 치료 받아 오던 78세 여자 환자가 종격동 종양이 발견되어 전원되었다. 경피적 기관지 동맥 색전술을 시행하였으나 실패하여 수술을 시행하였다. 수술은 개흉술 하에 심폐바이패스의 도움 없이 유입 및 유출 동맥을 결찰하고 동맥류 제거술을 시행하였다. 환자는 특별한 합병증 없이 수술 후 8일 만에 퇴원하였고 오래 추적 검사상 이상 소견 얼었다.

정맥내 평활근종증은 자궁근육이나 혈관벽에서 발생한 평활근종이 정맥로를 통해 확장되어, 조직학적으로는 양성이나 임상적으로는 악성 경과를 취하는 매우 드문 질환이다. 종양은 대부분 정맥을 통로로 하공정맥, 우심방, 우심실, 심지어 폐동맥까지 확장되어 우심장의 폐쇄를 일으키면서 증상을 나타내는 것으로 되어 있으나, 매우 드물게 폐전이도 일으키는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 자궁에서 발생한 정맥내 평활근종이 우심실까지 확장되어 우심 폐쇄의 증상과 폐전이를 일으킨 53세의 여자 환자를 수술 치험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고한다.

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.

Pseudocoarctation is extremely rare and is due to elongation and kinking of aortic arch which mimiks true coarctation but has no pressure gradient across it. This state is essentially benign entity and needs no surgical intervention, but it frequently tends to progress into the aortic aneurysm that results in compressive symptom due to mass effect and unawared rupture and death.We experienced a descending aortic aneurysm secondary to pseudocoarctation. The patient was 53 year-old female presented as easy f`atiguability and facial flushing. The aortogram revealed tortuous and enlarged aorta at the level of ligamentum arteriosum. The aneurysm was resected and was end-to-end anastomosed successfully under partial cardiopulmonary bypass. The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged on postoperative 10 day.
