An 11 year old boy with a preductal coarctation and a patent ductus arteriosus underwent ligation of the ductus and patch aortoplasty for correction of the coarctation. His postoperative course was complicated by a paradoxical hypertension and a transient mesenteric arteritis syndrome which were successfully managed with sodium nitroprusside, propranolol and hydralazine. His urine catecholamine tests were markedly elevated one week after the operation which returned to normal 4 days later. Some of the salient points ~n the pathogenesis and management of these problems are discussed.

A nine-month-old intact female Maltese dog (body weight: 1.5 kg) presented with frequent syncopal episodes (1-2/day), exercise intolerance, and dyspnea. Cardiomegaly with marked dilation of right and left atria along with ascites was indicated on radiography. Tricuspid regurgitant jets (4.36 m/s), pulmonary regurgitant jets (3.4 m/s), left-to-right shunting flow at the ductus arteriosus, and an atrial septal defect were observed on echocardiography. A bubble study with agitated saline found right-to-left shunting at the interatrial septum. Based on diagnostic studies, the dog was diagnosed with right-to-left atrial septum defect (ASD) compounded with patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). The treatment was directed to reduce the pulmonary hypertension, improve cardiac performance, and lower fluid retention. Despite medical treatment for 2 months, the dog died of sudden cardiac arrest. Herein, we describe a very rare case of right-to-left ASD compounded with PDA.

Eisenmenger syndrome is a condition which systemic arterial blood oxygen unsaturation occurs if obstruction in the pulmonary capillaries raises the pulmonary vascular resistance and pulmonary arterial pressure to or beyond systemic levels and then a significant right to left shunt develops across a preexisting cardiac septal defect or an aortopulmonary communication-We have experienced 3 cases of similar condition. Case I is 24 year old man who has had cyanosis and dyspnea on exertion since childhood. His pulmonary arterial pressure was 110/80mmHg. He was operated under diagnosis of the mitral stenosis and tetralogy of Fallot, but it was finally discovered that he had patent ductus arteriosus and ventricular defect was closed with perforated prosthetic patch, but the patient expired due to right heart failure low cardiac output. Case II was 16 year old female who had pulmonary hypertension of 110/85mmHg. She was diagnosed as Eisenmenger syndrome combining with atrial septal defect and patent ductus arteriosus. Case III was 20 year old male. His pulmonary arterial pressure was 110/70mmHg and the underlying defect was patent ductus arteriosus.

Pulmonary artery aneurysm usually carries an ominous prognosis due to the associated pulmonary hypertension. In July 1981, a patient with a huge aneurysm of main pulmonary artery secondary to pulmonary hypertension and bacterial endocarditis due to a patent ductus arteriosus was treated by resection of the aneurysm and Dacron patch graft replacement and closure of the patent ductus arteriosus. The immediate postoperative result was excellent. We now report the surgical treatment, clinical course, and one and half years follow up of the patient.

24 cases of patent ductus arteriosus were experienced from Aug. 1977 to October 1983, at the department of thoracic surgery. Chungnam National University Hospital. Patent ductus arteriosus is one of the common congenital heart disease and the diagnosis can be made easily and simply. Interruption is done by thoracic surgeons and it is considered on of the simple separation. 1. Age ranged from 10 month old to 19 year old. 2. Sex ratio [male to female] was 1:2. 3. Diagnosis was made by the finding of the physical examination, chest X-ray, E.K.G., and Cardiac catheterization. 4. Operation was performed with double ligation and transfixion suture ligation at 23 cases, division was one case. 5. Postoperative recanalization was occurred in one patient, who had subacute bacterial endocarditis.

A 9-month-old intact male Maltese dog (1.52 kg) was diagnosed with a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). Transcatheter occlusion of the PDA was performed by using the Amplatz canine duct occluder (ACDO). After occlusion, reflex bradycardia occurred and lasted for at least 15 h with normal systolic arterial pressure and slightly increased diastolic arterial pressure. The bradycardia slowly resolved, and the heart rate was normal in re-examinations after 7 and 30 days. This is the first case of reflex bradycardia after ACDO implantation, in which the bradycardia continued for a long time, even after recovery from anesthesia.

PHACE association is a rare neurocutaneous condition in which facial hemangiomas associate with a spectrum of posterior fossa malformations, arterial cerebrovascular anomalies, cardiovascular anomalies, and eye anomalies. We reported a case of PHACE association in a premature infant showing facial, intracranial, and oropharyngeal hemangiomas with evidence of the Dandy-Walker variant and complicated cardiovascular anomalies, including a right-sided aortic arch and an atypical patent ductus arteriosus arising from a tortuous left subclavian artery. To our knowledge, intracranial hemangiomas are rare in PHACE association, and a concomitant oropharyngeal hemangioma has not been previously reported in the PHACE association literature. In infants presenting with large, plaque-like facial hemangiomas, it is important to conduct active cardiovascular and neurological evaluations. Special attention should be given to the laryngoscopic examination to search for additional hemangiomas in the airway.

The combined anomaly of pulmonary stenosis with atrial or ventricular septal defects is usually associated with decreased pulmonary blood flow and right to left shunt, and result in generalized cyanosis. Non-cyanotic pulmonary stenosis patients have generally been considered to have isolated pulmonary stenosis with intact septa. We are going to report a case of pulmonary stenosis with septal defects who have no frank cyanosis at rest because of the predominant intracardiac shunt from left to right. Recently, we managed surgically a case of pulmonary valvular stenosis combined with secundum type atrial septal defect, type II ventricular septal defect, and patent ductus arteriosus. The clinical manifestations of this patient were exertional dyspnea, frequent upper respiratory infection, chest discomfortness and lethargy since late childhood and these had been progressively aggravated. Pulmonary valvular stenosis, atrial septal defect and ventricular septal defect were closed through simply right atriotomy and patent ductus arteriosus through pulmonary arteriotomy. Immediate postoperative course was uneventful and one year follow up is excellent.
