We have experienced one case of ascending aorta aneurysm with aortic regurgitation due to atherosclerosis. The 45 year old man had been suffered from palpitation and precordial chest pain. 2-D echocardiogram and aortogram confirmed aneurysm of ascending aorta with aortic regurgitation. Atherosclerotic change was noted in the aortic wall and there was marked dilatation of the sinuses of Valsalva as well as the aortic annulus with upward displacement of coronary ostia in the operative field. The patient underwent complete replacement of the aneurysmal ascending aorta and the aortic valve with 27mm Bjork-Shiley aortic valve composite graft. We got preclotting with heparin free blood including thrombin and then autoclave at 132` for 3 minutes. The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged with good clinical result.

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.

We have experienced a patient, 16 year-old male, with ventricular septal defect with tricuspid recur- gitation due to blunt chest trauma. He suffered from congestive heart failure after the trauma. Echocardiogram and cardiac catheterization revealed left to right shunt at the ventricular level (muscu- far portion of interventricular septum) and tricuspid regurgitation. At the time of the operation, marked systolic thrill was palpable over the rlght ventricle near the apex and a chorda tendina was seen sharply ruptured just near the medial papillary muscle. We repaired the ventricular septal defect with a Dacron patch and chordal reconstruction with autologous pericardium. The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged in good condition.

Native valve endocarditis (NVE) without preexisting structural valve or congenital cardiac malformation especially in pediatric group is rare. A case of isolated tricuspid valve endocarditis in a 7-year-old child without any cardiac malformation is described. This child had suffered from fever and productive cough for 3 weeks. Blood culture grew Staphylococcus aureus. Fever was not controlled even with proper antibiotic treatment. Transthoracic echocardiogram and lung perfusion scan revealed a large vegetation on the tricuspid valve with multiple embolism Surgical procedures included vegetectomy partial cusps resection and pericardial patch valvuloplasty. Th patient was in NYHA class I during follow up.

A 10-month-old intact male Scottish Fold was presented with cardiomegaly. The cat showed exercise intolerance after birth. Radiographs showed cardiomegaly with bulging of the main pulmonary artery and dilation of pulmonary arteries. Echocardiogram revealed abnormally arisen aortic root toward right ventricle with left-to-right shunted perimembraneous ventricular septal defect located underneath the aortic root. Based on imaging studies, the cat was diagnosed as subaortic type of double outlet right ventricle (DORV) without concurrent abnormalities.

A 4-year-old, 6.1 kg intact female dachshund was referred to the Animal Medical Center with acute right hind limb lameness. Radiographs revealed fractures of iliac body and tibia in the right limb. In addition, the dog exhibited tricuspid valve regurgitation and moderate heartworm infection in the right ventricle and main pulmonary artery on echocardiogram. To obtain stable anesthetic conditions for operation, an adult heartworm removal procedure was previously followed by repair of the complex fractures. All surgical procedures were done without complication and with stable patient conditions. At a one month postoperative follow-up, the dog was doing well with normal ambulation and no tricuspid valve regurgitation as well.

A 4-year-old castrated male Maltese was referred to our hospital with heart murmur. The client did not recognize any symptoms. Auscultation revealed systolic murmur located at the left heart base. Radiographs showed right-sided cardiomegaly with the main pulmonary artery bulging and enlargement of pulmonary vessels. Echocardiogram revealed a small ventricular septal defect and a large atrial septal defect. There was also a common atrioventricular valve. Based on diagnostic imaging studies, the dog was diagnosed with transitional atrioventricular septal defect.

We present a case of delayed diagnosis of traumatic tricuspid valve rupture in a patient who was emergently brought to the operating room for repair of lacerations to the heart and liver without intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). Initial postoperative transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) did not show structural pathology. One week later, TTE with better image quality showed severe tricuspid regurgitation. Subsequently, TEE clearly demonstrated rupture of the anterior papillary muscle and flail anterior tricuspid leaflet. The case description is followed by a brief discussion of the utility of TEE in the setting of blunt thoracic trauma.

목 적 : 폐동맥판 역류를 감소시키고자 2000년 4월부터 자기 판막을 이용한 판막 재건술을 시행하였으며, 이러한 수술 방법이 폐동맥판 역류와 임상적인 결과의 호전을 주는지 알아보고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방 법 : 1991년 7월부터 2004년 8월까지 동아대학교 의료원에서 활로사징으로 완전 교정술을 시행한 환아 중, 자기 판막 조직을 이용한 폐동맥 판막 재건술을 시행한 31례(PVR군)와 수술 후 같은 추적 관찰 기간을 가진 활로사징 환아 중 경판륜 첩포(transannular patch) 확장 수술 후 단엽(monocusp)을 삽입한 47례(MVOP군), 경판륜 첩포 수술만 시행한 22례(TAP군)를 대조군으로 하였다. 이들 대조군과 PVR군에서 폐동맥판 역류, 폐동맥 판막의 기능, 삼첨판/승모판 판륜의 비율, 심-흉곽 비율을 계측하여 비교하였다. 결 과 : MVOP군에서 심초음파 검사상 중등도의 폐동맥판 역류는 수술 직후 35례(74%)에서 관찰되었고, 우심실의 확장이 있는 경우가 12례(26%)였다. 그러나 PVR군은 중등도의 폐동맥판 역류는 6례(19%)였고, 우심실의 확장이 있는 경우는 1례(3%)에 불과하였다. 이후 매년 추적 검사상 MVOP군에서 거의 모든 예에서 중등도의 폐동맥판 역류를 보였고, PVR군에서 점차 증가하는 경향을 보였다. MVOP군의 수술 직후 초음파 검사에서 운동성이 확인되지 않은 경우가 18례(38%)였으며, 12례에서는 양호한 판막 기능을 보였다. PVR군은 30례(96%)에서 우수한 판막 기능을 보여 주었고, 1례(3%)에서 양호한 판막 기능을 보였다. 추적 관찰 기간 중의 판막의 기능은 MVOP군에서 추적 관찰 기간에 따라 판막 기능의 급격한 감소를 보여 주었으며, PVR군은 1년, 2년, 3년, 4년 추적 관찰 기간에 각각 27례(90%), 21례(75%), 14례(68%), 8례(50%)로 관찰 기간이 경과할수록 기능이 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 심-흉곽의 비율은 세 군에서 수술 직후에는 차이가 없었으나 PVR군이 1년, 2년, 3년, 4년 추적 관찰 기간에 통계학적으로 유의하게 양군에 비해 감소되었다. 그러나 MVOP군과 TAP군간에는 통계학적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다. 삼첨판/승모판 판륜 직경의 비는 수술 직후에는 차이가 없었으며 추적 관찰 기간 1년, 2년 및 3년에 양 군에 비해 통계학적으로 유의하게 차이가 있었다. 그러나 MVOP군과 TAP군간에는 통계학적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다. 결 론 : PVR군이 다른 군에 비해 폐동맥판 역류의 정도는 감소되었으며, 판막의 기능이 양호하였고, 심-흉곽 비율, 삼첨판/승모판 판륜의 비가 유의하게 낮았다. 그러나 PVR 군에서 폐동맥판 역류 정도, 판막 운동의 저하가 추적 관찰 기간이 경과함에 따라 악화하는 경향을 보였으며, 장기적인 추적 관찰이 필요하리라 생각된다.
