배경: 경피적 심폐 보조장치(PCPS)는 체내의 가스교환과 혈액의 관류를 간접적으로 도와줌으로써, 장기를 회복시키기 위한 다른 치료법의 사용을 용이하게 하고, 여러 다양한 임상 상황에서 출혈의 위험성을 최소화하면서 심각한 심폐부전에 빠진 환자의 생명을 구해준다. 본 저자들은 허혈성 심질환자들에서 발생한 심인성 쇼크 혹은 심정지를 PCPS로 치료한 경험을 보고하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법:1999년 5월부터 2005년 6월까지 발생한 심정지 혹은 심인성 쇼크 환자들을 대상으로 연구가 진행되었고, 환자들 중 7명에서 원심펌프인 Biopump (Medtronic inc., Minneapolis, MN), 나머지 13명에게는 자가 priming이 되는 헤파린-코팅된 EBS (Terumo, Japan)를 사용하였다. 삽관은 모든 환자에서 대퇴동맥과 대퇴 정맥을 통해서 이루어졌으며, 동맥용 케눌라는 17 Fr에서 21 Fr까지, 정맥용은 21 Fr에서 28 Fr까지 의 DLP (Medtronic inc., Minneapolis, MN) 또는 RMI (Edwards lifescienc LLC, Irvine, CA)의 비교적 긴 정맥용 케눌라를 사용하였다. 결과: 소생을 목적으로 PCPS가 시도되었던 총 20명의 환자들 중에서 심정지가 13명이었으며, 심인성 쇼크였던 환자가 7명이었다. 이들 중 11명에서 관동맥 우회술이 시행되었고, 나머지 9명의 환자에서 PCPS한 상태에서 경피적 관동맥 중재술이 시도되었다. 평균 PCPS가동 시간은 38$\pm$42시간이었으며, 총 20명의 환자들 중 PCPS 이탈이 가능하였던 11명($55\%$)의 환자 중 총 8명($40\%$)의 환자가 특별한 합병증 얼이 평균 27$\pm$17일만에 퇴원하였다. 퇴원한 환자는 현재 모두 생존하여 치장 31개월째 외래 추적관찰 중이다. 결론: PCPS를 시행함으로써 혈역학적 회복을 가져옴으로써 다른 방법으로는 살리기 힘들었던 심정지 또는 심인성 쇼크로부터 환자를 구할 수 있고, 일단 회복된 환자들은 장기 생존율을 보인다.

배경: 고려대학교 흉부외과학교실에서는 심폐소생술에서 인공심 사용이 기존의 표준 심폐소생술에 비해 나은 결과를 보인다는 점에 착안하여 한국형 이동식 심폐소생기를 개발하고자 하였다. 1997년 1월부터 8월까지 한국형 이동식 심폐소생기 개발의 전단계로 심폐정지 모델 결정 및 표준 폐쇄식/ 개흉식 심폐소생술의 비교와 관찰지표 설정을 위한 준비실험을 실시하였다. 대상 및 방법: 실험은 한국산 잡견 9마리(28-35kg)를 대상으로 폐쇄식 심폐소생술군 4마리와 개흉식 심폐소생술군 5마리로 나누어, 4분 간의 심정지 및 15분간의 일차 심폐소생술(basic life support; BLS)과 30분간의 이차 심폐소생술(advanced life support; ALS)을 실시하였다. 심장압박은 폐쇄식군의 경우 흉부에 압박을 가하였고 개흉식군에서는 직접 심장을 맛사지하였다. 소생술기간에 양군 모두 동일한 조건의 폐환기 상태를 유지하였으며, 자발성 순환회복은 이차심폐소생술 기간 초기부터 재세동과 에피네프린 및 탄산수소 나트륨을 투여하여 유도하였다. 결과: 심폐소생술 기간안에 평균 체동맥압은 BLS 동안 폐쇄식군이 33$\pm$11 mmHg인데 비해 개흉식군은 45$\pm$15 mmHg로 높게 유지되었으며, ALS 동안에도 폐쇄식군 44$\pm$15 mmHg에 비해 개흉식군이 83$\pm$36 mmHg로 높게 유지 되었으나 통계상의 유의성은 없었다. 한편 평균 폐동맥압은 BLS 동안 폐쇄식군에서 32$\pm$10 mmHg로 평균 체동 맥압과 비슷한 정도로 증가하였으나 개흉식군은 22$\pm$4 mmHg로 평균 체동맥압의 약 50%정도까지만 증가하였고, ALS 동안에도 폐쇄식군은 32$\pm$15 mmHg로 개흉식군의 24$\pm$10 mmHg보다 높게 유지되었으나 통계처리상 유의성 은 없었다. 자발성 순환회복(restoration of spontaneous circulation; ROSC) 및 심폐소생 성공 여부에서 폐 쇄식군은 4마리 모두 사망하였으나 개흉식군은 5마리중 4마리가 생존하였고 생존기간은 384$\pm$705시간이였다 (p<.05). 결론: 본 연구 결과 개흉식 심폐소생술은 폐쇄식 소생술에 비해 비록 통계학상의 차이는 없었으나 소생술 기간 동안 비교해서 안정된 혈역학 상태를 유지하여서 자발성 순환회복 및 장단기 생존율을 향상시킬 수 있었다고 판단된다.

최근 심장 분야 수술의 발달로 여러 가지 고난도의 심장 수술과 심장 이식술의 시행이 증가하고 있으며, 술 후 예후에 크게 영향을 주는 심장의 심근 손상 방지에 대한 다각적인 연구가 행해지고 있는데, 수술 및 이식 전후의 허혈기와 재관류시 발생할 수 있는 심근 손상을 최소화하고, 술 후 심근 기능의 조속한 회복을 위한 목적으로 여러 약제 및 방법을 제시하고 있다. 한편 한국에서는 오래 전 부터 만병 통치의 영약으로 전해져 오고 있는 인삼을 이용한 동물 실험 및 임상 경험을 통해 성분 효과에 대한 여러 결과가 보고되고 있고, 심장 기능에 대한 효과도 약리학적 측면에서 많은 결과가 발표되었다. 그런데 여러 분획 추출물 중 ginsenoside Rg1 mixtures에 대해서는 그 결과가 다소 미비한 상태이고 ginsenoside Rb1과의 이원 작용에 대한 결과가 흥미로울 것으로 판단되었으며 여러 저자들의 결과에 차이가 있어 ginsenoside Rg1을 이용하여 심근의 허혈 후 재관류 시행 10분 및 지속적 관류 상태에서의 심근 손상에 대한 심근 보호 정도를 혈역학적 지표 및 관상 혈류를 통한 관류액의 효소치를 측정하여 실험한 결과 심근 허혈 및 재관류 후 심근 손상 방지와 심근 기능 회복에 효과가 있다고 판단되며 향후 약제의 투여 용량에 따른 심근 보호 정도에 관한 실험이 필요할 것으로 사료되고, 인삼 성분 각 분획의 복합 투여에 의한 결과도 재차 확인하여야 할 것으로 생각된다.

The effect of prostacyclin[PGI, ] on myocardial preservation during global ischemia was studied in the isolating working rabbit heart model. Forty hearts underwent a 15 minute period of retrograde nonworking perfusion with Krebs-Henseleit buffer solution [37*C] and were switched over to the working mode for 15 minutes. After baseline measurement of heart rate, peak aortic pressure, aortic flow, and coronary flow, all hearts were subjected to 60 minutes of ischemic arrest at 10*C induced with St. Thomas Hospital cardioplegic solution: Group I had single dose cardioplegia, Croup II double dose, Croup III oxygenated double dose, and Group IV single dose with PCI, infusion [10ng/min./gm heart weight]. Hearts were then revived with 15 minute period of nonworking reperfusion at normothermia, followed by 30 minutes of working perfusion. Repeat measurements of cardiac function were obtained and expressed as a percent of the preischemic baseline values. Oxygen content of arterial perfusate and coronary effluent was measured by designed time interval. Leakage of creatine kinase was determined during post-ischemic reperfusion period. Finally wet hearts were weighed and placed in 120*C oven for 36 hours for measurement of dry weight. In the PGI, treated group [IV], heart rate increased consistently throughout the period of reperfusion from 100*5.0% [p<0.001] to 107*6.2% [p<0.001]. The percent recovery of aortic flow showed 95*5.7% [p<0.001] at the first 3 minute and full recovery through the subsequent time. Coronary flow was augmented significantly in the 3 minute [96*6.2%, p<0.001] and then sustained above baseline values. Among the Croup I, II, and III, all hemodynamic values were significantly below preischemic levels. PGI2 relatively increased oxygen delivery [1.22*0.19ml/min, p<0.001] and myocardial oxygen consumption [0.90*0.13ml/min, p<0.001] during reperfusion period. Leakage of creatine kinase in the PGI2 group was 9.3*1.58IU/15min [p<0.001]. This was significantly lower than Group I [33.0*2.68 IU/15min]. The water content of PCI2 treated hearts [81*0.9%, p<0.001] was also lower than the other groups.

Background: Prolonged ischemic time is a risk factor for primary graft dysfunction in patients who undergo heart transplantation. We investigated the effect of a supplemental cardioplegia infusion before anastomosis in patients with long ischemic times. Methods: We identified 236 consecutive patients who underwent orthotopic heart transplantation between February 2010 and December 2014. Among them, the patients with total ischemic times of longer than 3 hours (n=59) were categorized based on whether they were administered a complementary cardioplegia solution (CPS) immediately before implantation (CPS+, n=30; CPS-, n=29). Results: The mean total ischemic times in the CPS+ and CPS- groups were 238.1±30.1 minutes and 230.1±28.2 minutes, respectively (p=0.3). The incidence of left ventricular primary graft dysfunction (CPS+, n=6 [20.0%]; CPS-, n=5 [17.2%]; p=0.79) was comparable between the groups. In the Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, no significant difference in overall survival at 5 years was observed between the CPS+ and CPS- groups (83.1%±6.9% vs. 89.7%±5.7%, respectively; log-rank p=0.7). No inter-group differences in early mortality (CPS+, n=0; CPS-, n=1 [3.4%]; p=0.98) or complications were observed. Conclusion: The additional infusion of a cardioplegia solution immediately before implantation in patients with longer ischemic times is a simple, reproducible, and safe procedure. However, we did not observe benefits of this strategy in the present study.

We have performed 27 cases of orthotopic homologous cardiac transplantation using Korean mongrel dogs and one case of sham operation for the evaluation of harmful effect of cardiopulmonary bypass itself on the dog from April, 1989 to June, 1990. Our previous reports have already demonstrated basal hemodynamic and hematologic data on the canine homologous heart transplantation and the fundamental principles of transplantation of the heart. The mean body weight of recipients was 13.2$\pm$1.2kg with a rage of 11 ~ 15kg, and the hemodynamic and hematologic pictures were almost same as the result of previous reports from our hospital, except marked decrease in postoperative platelet count[from 3.18 $\pm$0.80x106/mm3 to 1.41$\pm$0 37x 106/mm3]. Mean survival time was 24.82$\pm$49.40 hours with the longest survival of 264 hours. Donor cardiectomy included coronary vasodilatation with diltiazem, potassium arrest, and the rapid cooling of the heart suspending in the specially designed ice-bath. Median sternotomy provided excellent exposure of the surgical field. 6 \ulcorner0 prolene suture was used for the anastomosis of both atrial cuffs and the great arteries, and we found the fact that stenosis, bleeding, thrombus formation around the anastomotic site could be decreased with the use of everted horizontal mattress suture techniques. Immunosuppression was done with a combination of lower dose Cyclosporin-A, Azathioprine, methyl-prednisolone, but our cases still showed too short survival to worry about graft rejection. Still poor was our quality control of experimental animal, we had much difficulties in postmortem evaluation of the dogs. Low cardiac output due to biventricular failure, intractable supraventricular or ventricular tachyarrhythmia, postoperative massive bleeding, sepsis were most frequent findings that could be thought as a cause of death. A few cases showed subendocardial patch hemorrhage in both ventricular cavity or atrial septum at autopsy, suggesting acute subendocardial infarction. Although our team overcome most of the technical problems of orthotopic heart transplantation, we should pile up further knowledges about donor heart preservation, quality control of animal, infection, rejection, the effect of the cardiopulmonary bypass to improve the results.

Purpose: The performance rate to perform Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) by witness in out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) is very low in South Korea. To prevent the death caused by OHCA, it is important to encourage the witness to perform CPR actively. The purpose of the study is to investigate the influencing factors to affect bystander CPR rate. Methods: I conducted a questionnaire survey from 25 February to 4 March, 2013, receiving responses from 517 people in Korea. The questionnaire included social demographic factors, history of heart disease, knowledge of CPR, and the reliability of emergency medical service (EMS). A logistic regression analysis was conducted. Results: Among the 517 respondents, 294 (57.4%) had intention of performing CPR. Multiple logistic regression analysis found the following significant predictors of CPR intention: gender (odds ratio [OR] = 0.390), age (OR = 1.024), religion (OR = 0.843), and knowledge of CPR (OR = 4.734). Conclusion: This study indicated that the strongest predictor is knowledge of CPR. Therefore, it would be helpful to teach CPR nationwide to encourage performing CPR. In addition, effect of CPR education in religious facilities is necessary.

Purpose: Blunt cardiac injuries (BCI) have a wide clinical spectrum, ranging from asymptomatic myocardial contusion to cardiac rupture and death. BCIs rarely require surgical intervention, but can be rapidly fatal, requiring prompt evaluation and surgical treatment in some cases. The aim of this study was to identify potential factors associated with in-hospital mortality after surgery in patients with BCI. Methods: The medical records of 15 patients who had undergone emergency cardiac surgery for BCI between January 2014 and August 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. We included trauma patients older than 18 years admitted to Regional Trauma Center, Gachon University Gil Medical Center during the study period. Clinical and laboratory variables were compared between survivors and non-survivors. Results: Non-survivors showed a significantly higher Injury Severity Score (p=0.001) and Abbreviated Injury Scale in the chest region (p=0.001) than survivors. American Association for the Surgery of Trauma-Organ Injury Scale Grade V injuries were significantly more common in non-survivors than in survivors (p=0.031). Non-survivors had significantly more preoperative packed red blood cell (PRBC) transfusions (p=0.019) and were significantly more likely to experience preoperative cardiac arrest (p=0.001) than survivors. Initial pH (p=0.010), lactate (p=0.026), and base excess (BE; p=0.026) levels showed significant differences between the two groups. Conclusions: Initial pH, lactate, BE, ventricular injury, the amount of preoperative PRBC transfusions, and preoperative cardiac arrest were potential predictors of in-hospital mortality.

Total anomalous venous return defines a group of congenital heart disease which have in common the entire pulmonary venous drainage returning directly or indirectly to the right atrium instead of to the left atrium. Despite of recent advance in treatment, this severe malformation in its various anatomical forms has a high surgical mortality during early infancy. Because of the high mortality in the untreated infant and the surgical risk in the first year of life, the timing of the operation remains important for optimal result. Three cases of T APV R, two supracardiac types and one mixed type, were treated with extracorporeal circulation during last three years in the Dept. of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Seoul National University Hospital. The first one was 10 months old male with supracardiac type which drained through left innominate vein, and he was operated with profound hypothermia and total circulatory arrest but failed. The second case was 7 years old male with supracardiac type drained through left innominate vein, and he was well post operatively, and followed periodically for 12 months. The third case was 24 years old female with mixed type drainage (left upper pulmonary vein drained through left innominate vein, and the others through coronary sinus) was successfully corrected, and she was followed for 4 month without problem. All cases were diagnosed with cardiac catheterization and angiocardiogram, and also with echocardiogram in last two cases. In first two cases of supracardiac type, total circulatory arrest was used in brief period during anastomosis between common pulmonary venous trunk and left atrium. In the last case of mixed type, usual cardiopulmonary bypass with moderate hypothermia was used and total circulatory arrest was not needed.

Background: Recent developments in surgical techniques and hospital care have led to improved outcomes following total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR) repair. However, the surgical repair of TAPVR remains associated with a high risk of mortality and need for reoperation. We conducted this retrospective study to evaluate mid-term outcomes following in situ TAPVR repair without total circulatory arrest (TCA), and to identify the risk factors associated with surgical outcomes. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 29 cases of surgical intervention for TAPVR conducted between April 2000 and July 2015. All patients were newborns or infants who underwent in situ TAPVR repair without TCA. Results: Four anatomic subtypes of TAPVR were included in this study: supracardiac (20 cases, 69.0%), cardiac (4 cases, 13.8%), infracardiac (4 cases, 13.8%), and mixed (1 case, 3.4%). The median follow-up period for all patients was 42.9 months. Two (6.9%) early mortalities occurred, as well as 2 (6.9%) cases of postoperative pulmonary venous obstruction (PVO). Preoperative ventilator care (p=0.027) and preoperative PVO (p=0.002) were found to be independent risk factors for mortality. Conclusion: In situ repair of TAPVR without TCA was associated with encouraging mid-term outcomes. Preoperative ventilator care and preoperative PVO were found to be independent risk factors for mortality associated with TAPVR repair.
