Background: Treatment for patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in premature infants can consist of medical or surgical approaches. The appropriate therapeutic regimen remains contentious. This study evaluated the role of surgery in improving the survival of premature neonates weighing less than 1,500 g with PDA. Materials and Methods: From January 2008 to June 2011, 68 patients weighing less than 1,500 g with PDA were enrolled. The patients were divided into three groups: a group managed only by medical treatment (group I), a group requiring surgery after medical treatment (group II), and a group requiring primary surgical treatment (group III). Results: The rate of conversion to surgical methods due to failed medical treatment was 67.6% (25/37) in the patients with large PDA (${\geq}2$ mm in diameter). The number of patients who could be managed with medical treatment was nine which was only 20.5% (9/44) of the patients with large PDA. There was no surgery-related mortality. Group III displayed a statistically significantly low rate of development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) (p=0.008). The mechanical ventilation time was significantly longer in group II (p=0.002). Conclusion: Medical treatment has a high failure rate in infants weighing less than 1,500 g with PDA exceeding 2.0 mm. Surgical closure following medical treatment requires a longer mechanical ventilation time and increases the incidence of BPD. Primary surgical closure of PDA exceeding 2.0 mm in the infants weighing less than 1,500 g should be considered to reduce mortality and long-term morbidity events including BPD.

A ten months old, female Yorkshire terrier weighing 2.88 kg referred to veterinary leaching hospital of college of veterinary medicine, Konkuk University because of syncope, cough and dyspnea. First hematological and serum chemical test revealed thrombocytopenia, mild anemia, and increase of concentration of ALP (195 U/L). On 57 days later, second hematological and serum chemical test revealed polycythemia, increase of concentration of ALP (211 UR.), and Tchol (387 mg/dl). Right atrium enlargement, main pulmonary artery bulge and cardiomegaly (VHS = 11.5) were observed in radiographic findings. Ultrasohographic images showed both right and left ventricular dilation and turbulent flow between the descending aorta and the main pulmonary artery in color Doppler imaging. ECG showed left ventricular enlargement, SA block, and electrical alternant. Thoracotomy was performed through left fourth intercostal incision under isoflurane anesthesia. Patent ductus arteriosus was double ligated with 1-0 silk. Cough and dyspnea disappeared on 5 days after operation. Turbulent flow was not found in color doppler imaging of ultrasonography on 10 days after operation. Ten months later after the operation, syncope could not exist any more.

From April, 1984 to August, 1986, 214 cases of cardiovascular surgeries had been performed at Yeungnam University Hospital consisting 158 open heart surgeries and 56 non-open heart surgeries. The leading cardiac anomaly of open heart surgeries was ventricular septal defect which was 43% of congenital heart diseases, and most of remaining non-open heart surgeries were ligating patent ductus arteriosus. We had observed 33 postoperative complications such as wound problems, transient arrhythmia, postpericardiotomy syndrome, bleeding requiring reoperation and so on. 3 cases of surgical mortality were present [2 in congenital heart diseases and 1 in acquired heart disease], which resulting 1.9% of surgical mortality rate in the open heart surgeries.

On auscultation, typical continuous machinery murmur heard in 84%, and systolic murmur in 16% on Lt 2nd or 3rd intercostal space. 4. Simple chest x- ray showed increased pulmonary vascularity in 67%, cardiomegaly in 61%,and within normal limit in 16%. 5. EKG findings were LVH in 42%, biventricular hypertrophy in 17%, RVH in 3%, and within normal limit in 38%. 6. Echocardiogram was performed from all patient, and direct visualization of ductus in 93% 7. Cardiac catheterization was performed in 39 patients.

목 적 : 경피적 동맥관 폐쇄술은 동맥관 개존증의 표준 치료로 시행되고 있다. 저자들은 동맥관의 최소 직경(MD)과 체혈류와 폐혈류의 비(Qp/Qs ratio)를 기준으로 하여 선택한 각각의 기구들로 경피적 동맥관 폐쇄술 시행한 후 추적 관찰 결과를 비교, 분석하여 새로운 기구 선택 기준의 효용성과 안전성을 알아보았다. 방 법 : 2003년 2월부터 2006년 1월까지 본원에서 동맥관 개존증을 진단받고 동맥관의 크기 및 Qp/Qs 비에 따라 CDC, PNO, ADO를 선택하여 경피적 동맥관 폐쇄술을 시행받은 138명의 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 그리고 2000년 2월부터 2003년 1월까지 본원에서 DO, PNO로 경피적 동맥관 폐쇄술을 시행받은 89명의 환자들을 대조군으로 설정하였다. 시술 전 환자의 임상적, 혈역학적 지표들을 확인하였고 시술 후 1일, 1개월, 6개월, 12개월, 그리고 12개월 이후 잔류 단락 유무 및 합병증을 평가, 비교하였다. 결 과 : 대상군 138명 모두에서 시술에 성공하였고 기구 색전도 없었으며 시술 후 12개월 이후 잔류 단락이 남아있지 않았다. 주요 합병증의 빈도는 대상군 138명 중 0명(0%), 대조군 89명 중 7명(7.9%)이었고(P<0.05) 전체 합병증의 빈도도 대상군 138명 중 2명(1.4%), 대조군 89명 중 8명(9.0%)으로(P=0.001) 대상군에서 대조군에 비하여 의미 있게 합병증의 빈도가 낮았다. 결 론 : 과거에 경피적 폐쇄가 어려웠던 큰 크기의 동맥관 개존에 ADO를 사용하게 되고 이전 기구들의 단점들이 개선된 최근 기구들을 각각의 특성에 적합하게 전략적으로 선택하여 시술함으로써 경피적 동맥관 폐쇄술의 결과가 향상되었고 더욱 안전하고 완전한 효과를 나타내게 되었다.

Pulmonary perfusion scan with radioactive $^{113m}In$-iron hydroxide particle was performed in the 25 cases of heart disease which had been diagnosed by cardiac catheterization prior to surgery from July, 1972 to July, 1973 at the Department of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, Yonsei Medical College. It consists of 7 mitral stenosis, 2 mitral insufficiency, 1 aortic insufficiency, 3 atrial septal defect, 5 ventricular septal defect, 2 patent ductus arteriosus, 1 transposition of great vessel and 4 Tetralogy of Fallot. Findings of pulmonary perfusion scan in relation to hemodynamic data of cardiac catheterization were examined. 1) Out of 10 cases of acquired valvular heart disease, In 6 cases of mitral stenosis and 1 case of aortic insufficiency, radioactivity was increased at both upper lung. This finding is noted when pulmonary wedge or venous pressure was elevated above 22 mmHg and arterial systolic pressure above 33 mmHg. 2) Out of 15 cases of congenital heart disease. In almost all cases of atrial septal defect and ventricular septal defect except 2 cases, radioactivity was even at both entire lung. In 2 cases of patent ductus arteriosus, radioactivity was decreased especially at the left lung. It is observed that in acyanotic congenital heart disease, radioactivity of lung is not related with pulmonary arterial pressure. In 3 cases of Tetralogy of Fallot, radioactivity was even at both entire lung and in 2 of them, extrapulmonary radioactivity of liver or kidney which depends on size of defect and volume of right to left shunt reversible, was noted.

A clinical analysis was performed n 706 uses of patent ductus arteriosus experienced at Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Seoul National University Hospital during 27 years period from 1958 to 1984. Of the 706 patients of PDA, 244 patients were male and 462 patients were female and ages ranged from 2 months to 53 years old with the average age of 8.5 years. The chief complaints on admission were dyspnea on exertion and frequent URI in 58.9%, non specific symptoms such as palpitation and easy fatigability in 9.7%, symptoms of CHF in 2.0% and no subjective symptoms in 29.4%. On auscultation of heart, continuous machinery murmurs were heard in 82% and only systolic murmurs were heard in 18% of patients. On simple chest PA of patients, cardiomegalies were detected in 78% and there were increased pulmonary vascularities in 93% of patients. EKG findings were as followed; LVH 56.9%, BVH 12.6%, RVH 2.9% and WNL 27.6%. Cardiac Catheterizations were performed in 512 patients and mean Qp/Qs was 2.56 and mean systolic pulmonary artery pressure was 45mmHg. Operation methods were as followed; in patients in whom operations were performed on PDA only, ligation 94.3%, division 3.7% and ligation [0.5%] or trans-pulmonary artery suture closure [1.5%] under cardiopulmonary bypass 2.0% and in patients in whom operations were performed with associated anomalies, ligation 17.6%, division 2.4%, and ligation [44.7%] or trans-pulmonary artery suture closure [35.3%] under cardiopulmonary bypass 80%. 52 postoperative complications [8.4%] were developed in 42 patients [6.8%] and its were as followed; permanent or transient hoarseness 16 [2.6%], intraoperative rupture of PDA 8 [1.3%], recannalization 6 [1.[%], operative death 5 [0.8%], late death 4 [0.6%] and other miscellaneous complications 13 [2.1%]. 140 associated cardiac anomalies [19.8%] were found in 105 patients [14.9%] and its were as followed; VSD 68 [9.6%], COA 15 [2.1%], Subaortic discrete membrane 7 [0.9%], ASD 6 [0.8%], TOF 5 [0.7%] and other miscellaneous and
