Coronary artery fistula is an uncommon congenital heart defect that is readily amenable to surgical treatment. This fistula usually originates from the right coronary artery, but may arise from the left coronary artery, both coronary arteries, or single coronary artery. And the fistulous communication is most often to right ventricle, right atrium or pulmonary artery. Recently we experienced one case of congenital coronary artery fistula which was associated with patent ductus arteriosus. The fistulous communication, forming aneurysmal dilatation, was noted between the left anterior descending coronary artery and the right ventricular outflow tract. Cardiopulmonary bypass was employed in this case. After an arteriotomy was made on the aneurysmal coronary artery, both the proximal opening and the termination site of the fistulous tract were directly closed with partial aneurysmorrhaphy. The right ventricular chamber was also opened to evaluate the fistulous termination site. Postoperative hospital course of the patient was uneventful and she was discharged without problems.

Coronary arteriovenous fistula is a relatively rare congenital heart disease and it drains into right atrium, right ventricle, pulmonary artery, coronary sinus or superior vena cava. We experienced one case of fistulous communication between right coronary artery and right ventricle which was most common condition. The patient was a 12 year old female and the only sign was continuous cardiac murmur. The cardiac catheterization and coronary angiography showed the fistulous communication between right coronary artery and right ventricle and aneurysmal dilatation of right coronary artery. Under the cardiopulmonary bypass with the hypothermic cardioplegia, fistula opening[7mm] which was located at right ventricle below the tricuspid valve annulus between septal and posterior leaflet was closed with 4 - 0 prolene continuous suture through right ventriculotomy. Her postoperative course was uneventful.

우관상동맥 폐쇄증을 동반한 Marfan 증후군환자를 보고한다. 환자는 45세 여자로 약 1년 전에 Marfan 증후군으로 진단받고, 최근 흉통을 주소로 내원하였다. 환자는 손가락과 발가락이 긴 지주증과 돌출흉이 있고 몸통에 비해 사지가 긴 전형적인 외형을 갖고 있었다. 시력이 매우 약하고 수정체의 아탈구가 있었다. 심초음파상 대동맥판막 폐쇄부전증은 경도로 있었고, 좌심실의 중등도 확장과 심박출율의 중등도 저하가 있었다. 수술시에 우관상동맥의 폐쇄증을 발견하였다. 대동맥판막 폐쇄부전증과 대동맥 확장증에 대해서 SJM 27mm composite graft를 이용하여 좌관상동맥에는 Bentall 술식과 우관상동맥에는 PTFE 6mm를 이용하여 변형된 Piehler 식 방법으로 수술을 하였다. 원래의 우관상동맥구로 추정되는 부분부터 우관상동맥 원위부의 혈류가 있는 곳까지의 결손부위는 약 4cm 가량 되었다. 관상동맥 폐색증과 Marfan 증후군의 조합은 매우 드문 질환으로 양측 관상동맥의 혈류 재건을 위하여 각기 다른 술식으로 수술하였다.

급성 관동맥 증후군(acute coronary syndrome)은 대부분 죽상경화 관상동맥 질환(atherosclerotic coronary artery disease)에 의해 발생하지만, 비죽상경화 관상동맥 질환에서도 발생할 수 있다. 고식적 관상동맥 혈관조영술은 동맥 내강의 협착이나 확장 등의 형상에 대한 정보만을 제공하고, 동맥경화반이나 동맥벽에 대한 평가가 어려워 관상동맥 이상의 원인 질환의 진단에 낮은 특이도를 보인다. 반면, 관상동맥 전산화단층촬영 혈관조영술은 혈관경화반의 특징, 혈관벽의 조영증강뿐 아니라 연접한 대동맥이나 폐동맥의 변화 등도 함께 관찰할 수 있어, 비죽상경화 관상상동맥질환의 진단 및 다양한 원인 감별에 도움이 된다. 따라서 이종설에서는 다양한 비죽상경화 관상동맥 질환들을 소개하고, 이의 병태생리 및 대표적인 관상동맥 전산화단층촬영 혈관조영술의 영상 소견에 대해 설명하고자 한다.

The internal mammary artery has been advocated for use in bypass grafting owing to its superior long-term patency when compared to saphenous vein grafts. Concern exists that the flow through internal mammary artery may be inadequate during periods of peak myocardial demand when the internal mammary artery graft was used for proximal left anterior descending artery stenosis. This flow adequacy was investigated in 13 consecutive patients with a mean proximal left anterior descending artery stenosis of 84.2% who were selected for coronary bypass using internal mammary artery. We checked flow and diameter of left internal mammary artery without intraluminal dilatation just before anastomosis to left anterior descending artery during cardiopulmonary bypass. Clinical results were evaluated postoperatively with clinical symptoms, echocardiographies, stress tests, and coronary angiographies. The mean internal mammary artery flow measured just before anastomosis was 38ml/ min[range of 20 to 80ml /min] and its mean internal diameter 1.4mm. Maximal workload was improved from preoperative value of 6.3$\pm$2.5METS to postoperative value of 9.1$\pm$1.4 METS in 9 patients who Paired-test can be used. Cardiac symptoms recurred in two patients after bypass surgery, but they were not related to left internal mammary artery grafts. All patients were discharged in postoperatively 9.3 days[range of 7 to 20 days] after operation without mortality. Thus, on the basis of these findings, the internal mammary artery is a reasonable graft that we can routinely use for proximal left descending artery stenosis if internal diameter of the internal mammary artery is more than 1.0mm and its flow is more than 20ml /min at mean arterial pressure of 50 to 60mmHg during cardiopulmonary bypass.

신성 고혈압은 소아기 이차성 고혈압의 흔한 원인이며, 그 중 신동맥 협착에 의한 신혈관성 고혈압은 치료 가능한 고혈압의 가장 흔한 원인이다. 신혈관성 고혈압 치료로 최근 경피적 신동맥 혈관 성형술은 비침습적인 방법으로 각광 받고 있다. 저자들은 작은 직경을 가진 신동맥 분지 혈관 협착에 의한 신혈관성 고혈압 소아에서 관상동맥용으로 쓰이는 풍선 카테터를 이용하여 경피적 신동맥혈관 성형술을 성공적으로 시행한 경험을 하였으므로 보고하는 바이다.

목 적 : 가와사끼병에 따른 관상동맥 직경 증가를 판단하기 위하여 필요한 좌주간부 관상동맥(LCA, left main coronary artery), 좌전하행 관상동맥(LAD, left anterior desending coronary artery), 우 관상동맥(RCA, right coronary artery) 각각의 정상 직경에 대한 자료가 아직 국내에 발표되지 않아, 이를 조사하기 위해 본 연구가 계획되었다. 방 법 : 2005년 3월부터 2007년 11월까지 건국대학교 병원을 방문하여 심초음파 검사를 받았으나, 특별한 심질환 소견을 보이지 않았던 생후 3개월에서 7세 미만 소아 43명을 대상으로 하였다. 심초음파 검사 시행 후 저장되었던 영상 자료에서 관상동맥 크기 측정이 이루어졌으며, 체표면적 등의 몸 크기 자료를 독립 변수로 하여 단순 선형 회귀분석이 시행되었다. 결 과 : 체표면적은 LCA($R^2=0.20$, P=0.0038), LAD($R^2=0.41$, P<0.0001), 및 RCA($R^2=0.30$, P=0.0002) 모두의 직경과 의미 있는 관계를 보였다. 회귀 공식에서 y 절편은 각각 1.703, 1.058, 1.007; 회귀 계수는 각각 0.971, 1.175, 1.177; 표준편차는 각각 0.315, 0.221, 0.282 로 추정되었다. 결 론 : 개별 관상동맥 직경과 체표면적과의 의미 있는 관계가 확인되었고, 선형 회귀 공식이 산출되었다. 본 연구 결과를 활용하여, 개별 관상동맥 직경의 Z-score 산출을 국내 자료로서 가능하도록 한 것이 본 연구의 의의라고 할 수 있겠다.

To compare two methods of mammary pedicle graft preparations with free internal mammary artery flow, we studied 31 patients who had the left internal mammary artery harvested for coronary artery bypass grafting. The free flow was measured at the transected opening of 2 to 3 cm distal to the point of bifurcation on mean arterial pressure of 50 to 55 mmHg during cardiopulmonary bypass. Group I comprised 14 patients, whose grafts were sprayed and wrapped in sponges soaked in diluted papaverine solution (60 mg in 40 ml Hartmann's solution). An average 80 minutes after the preparations, free flow of the internal mammary artery ranged from 20 to 80 ml/min (mean 37.7 ml/min). Group II comprised 17 patients, who had internal mammary artery takedown under the exact conditions used in group I. The grafts were sprayed and wrapped in sponges soaked in the diluted papaverine solution as in group I. After an average of 28 minutes, free flow ranged from 8 to 28 ml/min (mean 17.6 ml/min). Intraluminal papaverine of the same dilution was then injected without any hydrostatic dilatation and flows increased upto 37 to 150 ml/min (mean 74.7 ml/min). This study shows that intraluminal papaverine preparation method markedly increases free mammary artery flow which is inadequate with external papaverine preparation.

Purpose: This study investigated the epidemiology of Kawasaki disease (KD) in infants ${\leq}3$-month-old. Methods: To study the epidemiology of KD in Korea, data for 27,851 KD patients were collected on a 3-year basis between 2000 and 2008 in a retrospective survey. From this, data for 609 KD patients ${\leq}3$-month-old were analyzed and compared with the data for KD patients >3-month-old. Results: The 609 KD patients ${\leq}3$-month-old (385 males and 224 females) constituted 2.2% of the KD patients. They included 25 infants <1-month-old, 198 infants ${\leq}1$- to 2-month-old, and 386 infants >2- and 3-months-old. The ratio of males to females was 1.72:1. The incidence of coronary artery (CA) dilatation (19.9% vs. 18.7%) and CA aneurysms (3.4% vs. 2.6%) detected by echocardiography did not differ significantly between patients with KD younger and older than 3-month-old. Conclusion: Compared with the data for the KD patients >3-month-old, the data for the 609 patients ${\leq}3$-month-old did not show a significantly higher incidence of CA dilatation or CA aneurysms.
