Coronary artery bypass grafting(CABG) without cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB) is now an accepted technique of myocardial revascularization in selective cases of coronary arterial occlusive disease. The lesion was total(100%) occlusion of proximal right coronary artery(RCA) without any evidence of dis,Base in the rest of coronary arteries. Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty(PTCA) was tried but unsuccessful. We herein report a case of successful CABG to right coronary artery without CPB on a patient with complete occlusion of RCA and symptomatic wit minimal activity.

Objective & Method : By investigating physiological function of tri-energizer, symptoms, and organ coordination, we obtained following conclusion. Tri-energizer is the membrane structure that surrounds the five visceral organs and six hollow organs, and filled with fluid. Tri-energizer acts as the passage for the flow of qi energy. Result & Conclusion : Therefore, dysfunction of the tri-energizer is caused by abnormal evaporation and metabolism. Upper-energizer regulates cardiopulmonary function, middle-energizer regulates spleen and stomach functions, and lower-energizer regulates liver, kidneys, small and large intestines, and bladder functions. Such a functional specialization is possible by receiving the source of qi through the wall wrapping around the internal organs. Tri-energizer represents the exterior and interior relationship by acting as the membrane structure supporting the five visceral organs and six hollow organs and at the same time, as the pericardium surrounding the heart.

80 persons who don't have past history of cardiopulmonary and neuromuscular disease. The results were as follow; 1. PCI(Physiological Cost Index) value without loading to ankle were significantly increased compared to 1kg, and 2kg (p<0.01). 2. Female Subjects showed more increased PCI value in without loading and lkg, 2kg loading compared to male subjects (p<0.01). 3. In every PCI condition the difference among height groups was observed (p<0.01). 4. The difference among weight groups in each PCI condition was observed (p<0.01). These results showed that energy consumption was increased according to loading on the ankle during gait so weight of orthosis or prosthesis must be considered when choosing them and during gait training with these ones.

This is a report of a case in which mitral valve replacement was performed using Starr-Edwards ball valve [model 6230] by total cardiopulmonary bypass with total hemodilution prime and moderate hypothermia. The patient was 21 year old girl, and mitral valvular symptoms occurred 5 years ago. According to clinical features of the disease, the patient was classified as the class IV of N.Y.H. A. cla3sification. The preoperative diagnosis of mitral insufficiency was made mainly by left ventriculography of roentgenologic study. The mitral valve was highly deformed due to scar contraction of valve leaflets and shortening of chordae tendineae. After prosthetic valve replacement, no abnormal hemodynamic signs were observed. The postoperative course was uneventful.

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.

Bronchial artery aneurysm is a rare but life-threatening disease when it ruptures, and it requires prompt treatment to prevent from catastrophic ruptures. A 78-year-old woman was referred to our hospital to evaluate mediastinal massfound on chest computed tomography. We did a selective bronchial artery angiography and diagnosed as bronchial artery aneurysm. Aneurysmectomy with division of afferent and efferent arteries was performed through standard thoracotomy without cardiopulmonary bypass. The patient recovered uneventfully and was discharged on postoperative 8th day without any complications.

Intravenous leiomyomatosis is a rare disease entity of benign smooth muscle invading into the lumen of veins. We describe a case of intravenous leiomyomatosis originating from the uterus, growing in the inferior vena cava, and extending into the right ventricle association with multiple pulmonary metastasis. A 53-year-old woman with chest discomfort and several times attacks of syncope was treated at our hospital. The tumor was successfully removed with moderate hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass after total hysterectomy with a bilateral salphingo-oophorectomy, and multiple pulmonary metastasis under simultaneous sternotomy and laparotomy was confirmed.

Cor triatriatum is rare congenital heart disease which is another variant of anomalous pulmonary venous return. It has abnormal fibromuscular diaphragm between true left atrium and accessary chamber which has one or more orifice to the left atrium. In classic form, the patient dies within several months after birth due to pulmonary hypertension inevitably, so it is rarely found in adult. With priopertive echocardiogram and cineangiogram we had two impressions, left atrial cystor cortriatriatum. At operative finding, there was no visible combined anomaly except accessary chamber which received all pulmonary venous return that drained into the left atrium through small calcified orifice. The operation was performed by simple resection of the diaphragm under cardiopulmonary bypass. The postope rative course was uneventful.

Double-chambered right ventricle [DCRV] is a rare congenital heart disease caused by anomalous muscle bundle traversing the sinus portion of the right ventricle well beneath the infundibulum. Recently we have experienced a case of DCRV with ventricular septal defect in 7-year old male patient. Preoperative cardiac catheterization and cineangiography revealed 80 mmHg pressure gradient between the proximal and distal chamber of the right ventricle and diagonal shape filling defect by the anomalous muscle bundle in the sinus portion of the right ventricle. Resection of the anomalous muscle bundle and patch closure of the ventricular septal defect was performed with cardiopulmonary bypass. The postoperative course was uneventful and excellent.

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.
