Recent advances in the surgical treatment of congenital disorders of the heart have necessitated an accurate preoperative diagnosis. Right heart catheterization has become widely accepted as a research tool and diagnostic test to detect the heart diseases, especially in the congenital heart anomalies. Right heart catheterizations were carried out in 50 cases of congenital heart diseases at Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, , Kyungpook National University Hospital, during the period of June, 1975 through September 1978. In age distribution, 27cases were below 10 years of age, 18 cases between 11 and 20, and 5 cases above 20 male to female ratio was 2.8:1. The distribution of congenital heart diseases was VSD [42%], TOF [36%], PDA [10%], ASD [8%], and PS[4%]. Of these, 44 cases [88%], were compatible with the clinical impressions that were made preliminarily before cardiac catheterization, and all the cases except 1 case of VSD was correlated well with the postoperative diagnosis. The right heart catheterization is considered to be reliable and accurate toll in the preoperative diagnosis of congenital heart diseases. These procedures caused complications such as left side hemiplegia [lcase], occlusion of the femoral artery [lcase], and transient ventricular tachycardia [1case], and so the complication rate of right heart catheterization was 6% [3 cases]. None of patients who have undergone right heart catheterization was died.

We have experienced ten cases of emergent operation for the complications of cardiac catheterization during the period from 1985 to September 1994.Catheterization was done for the evaluation of the cardiac or vascular problem in 8 cases and 2 cases of neurosurgical problem. The extracardiac injection of contrast material have occurred in 3 cases[primum ASD,Trilogy,VSD . Six cases were unable to remove the catheter from femoral artery or vein. The catheters were knotted, coiled, impacted or broken. An embolectomy was done 40 years old man who suffered from chronic left subclavian artery obstruction a day after angiography. Open heart surgery was performed in 5 cases of cardiac perforation,impacted catheter in left inferior pulmonary vein and broken catheter of VSD. Arteriotomy was done in 4 cases to remove the knotted and coiled catheter. There was no complication or mortality for the emergent operation.

Purpose: When hemodynamically unstable patients with blunt major trauma arrive at the emergency department (ED), the safety of performing early whole-body computed tomography (WBCT) is concerning. Some clinicians perform central venous catheterization (CVC) before WBCT (pre-computed tomography [CT] group) for hemodynamic stabilization. However, as no study has reported the factors affecting this decision, we compared clinical characteristics and outcomes of the pre- and post-CT groups and determined factors affecting this decision. Methods: This retrospective study included 70 hemodynamically unstable patients with chest or/and abdominal blunt injury who underwent WBCT and CVC between March 2013 and November 2017. Results: Univariate analysis revealed that the injury severity score, intubation, pulse pressure, focused assessment with sonography in trauma positivity score, and pH were different between the pre-CT (34 patients, 48.6%) and post-CT (all, p<0.05) groups. Multivariate analysis revealed that injury severity score (ISS) and intubation were factors affecting the decision to perform CVC before CT (p=0.003 and p=0.043). Regarding clinical outcomes, the interval from ED arrival to CT (p=0.011) and definite bleeding control (p=0.038), and hospital and intensive care unit lengths of stay (p=0.018 and p=0.053) were longer in the pre-CT group than in the post-CT group. Although not significant, the pre-CT group had lower survival rates at 24 hours and 28 days than the post-CT group (p=0.168 and p=0.226). Conclusions: Clinicians have a tendency to perform CVC before CT in patients with blunt major trauma and high ISS and intubation.

During the last 10 years, there have been major technological achievements in pediatric interventional cardiology. In addition, there have been several advances in cardiac imaging, especially in 3-dimensional imaging of echocardiography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and cineangiography. Therefore, more types of congenital heart diseases can be treated in the cardiac catheter laboratory today than ever before. Furthermore, lesions previously considered resistant to interventional therapies can now be managed with high success rates. The hybrid approach has enabled the overcoming of limitations inherent to percutaneous access, expanding the application of endovascular therapies as adjunct to surgical interventions to improve patient outcomes and minimize invasiveness. Percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation has become a successful alternative therapy. However, most of the current recommendations about pediatric cardiac interventions (including class I recommendations) refer to off-label use of devices, because it is difficult to study the safety and efficacy of catheterization and transcatheter therapy in pediatric cardiac patients. This difficulty arises from the challenge of identifying a control population and the relatively small number of pediatric patients with congenital heart disease. Nevertheless, the pediatric interventional cardiology community has continued to develop less invasive solutions for congenital heart defects to minimize the need for open heart surgery and optimize overall outcomes. In this review, various interventional procedures in patients with congenital heart disease are explored.

A persistent left superior vena cava draining into the left atrium associated with atresia of the coronary sinus-ostium, ASD, and PDA is a rare congenital anomaly. The patient was a 4 year-old female whose complaints were frequent URI and exertional dyspnea. The congenital heart anomaly was suspected at 2 months of her age. Chest films showed cardiomegaly [C-T ratio, 75%]. EKG, Echocardiography, cardiac catheterization and angiocardiography were performed. Open heart surgery was done under impression of LV-RA shunt, bilateral superior vena cavae, and ASD. At the time of operation, huge LA and RA, inferior vena caval defect of a secundum type ASD [1.5 x 3cm in diameter], absence of innominate vein, atresia of the coronary sinus-ostium, and persistent LSVC draining into LA were noted. Direct suture closure of ASD and ligation of LSVC were done. The patient`s postoperative course was somewhat eventful: systolic murmur at apex remained. Four months after the operation, congestive heart failure attacked a few times. PDA that was overlooked at the time of open heart surgery was detected through postoperative cardiac catheterization in.4 months later. Emergent operation for closure of PDA was performed on the day of recatheterization. After that, patient`s heart failure was easily controlled without any notable problem.

Interventional cardiology is a branch of the medical specialty of cardiology that deals specifically with the catheter based treatment of structural heart diseases. A large number of procedures can be performed on the heart by catheterization. Although many cardiac diseases requiring open heart surgery are currently treated with cardiac interventions in human medicine, interventional cardiology is relatively recently introduced in veterinary medicine. Therefore, in this lecture, several interventional methods for various diseases of small animals, more focusing on interventional methods in heart diseases will be discussed.

목 적: 최근 이면성 심초음파와 도플러의 발달로 선천성 심장병의 진단에 심도자 및 조영술이 차지하는 비중이 감소하였으나 심도자술의 장비 발달로 인해 치료적 의미의 중재술은 그 수를 더해가고 있으며 이는 신생아에게 있어서도 마찬가지로 적용되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 최근 10년간의 신생아 심도자술의 경험을 관찰하였다. 방 법 : 1991년부터 2000년까지 세종병원에서 시행한 심도자 및 조영술 환자들 중 30일 이하의 신생아 139명을 대상으로 이들의 의무기록지를 고찰하였다. 이들의 심도자를 시행한 목적에 따라 진단적 심도자술과 중재적 심도자술로 나누고 당시의 연령과 체중 그리고 진단을 조사하였으며 시술로 인한 합병증과 사망을 조사하였다. 중재적 심도자술인 경우 그 성공 여부를 시술 후의 결과로 관찰하였다. 결 과 : 139명 신생아들의 성별은 남아 92명, 여아 47명이었고 이들의 시술 당시 연령은 $14.9{\pm}8.9$일이고 체중은 $3.3{\pm}0.5kg$(2.6-5.0 kg)이었다. 최근 10년간의 신생아 심도자술은 점차로 증가하는 추세로 특별히 신생아 중재적 시술이 뚜렷이 증가하여 전체 신생아 심도자술의 89.5%이었다. 이들의 진단을 살펴보면 완전 대혈관전위(D-TGA)가 49명으로 제일 많았고 그 다음이 pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum(PAIVS)로 26명, 폐동맥판막 협착(valvar PS) 14명, 양대혈관 우실기시(DORV) 14명 그리고 pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect(PAVSD)가 11명의 순서였다. 심도자술을 위한 처치로 전신마취를 한 경우가 전체의 65%로 단순 수면진정 보다 많이 한 것으로 나타났다. 심도자술의 목적은 중재적 시술을 목적으로 한 경우가 전체의 74%에 달해 진단적인 목적보다는 많은 것으로 관찰되었다. 중재적 시술은 풍선 심방중격 절제술 48례, 풍선폐동맥 판막 확장술 16례 그리고 경도관 폐동맥 판막천공술이 25례에서 시행되었다. 심도자술로 인한 합병증은 중재적 시술에서 더 높지는 않았고(P=0.489) 사망률 역시 중재적 심도자술에서 의미있게 높지는 않았다(P=0.934). 신생아기에 시행된 중재적 심도자술의 시행 연령은 경도관 폐동맥 판막 천공술이 가장 낮은 연령에 시행되었으나 통계적으로 의미는 없었다(P=0.061). 방사선 조사시간은 경도관 폐동맥 판막 천공술에서 의미있게 길었다(P<0.001). 그러나 신생아기에 시행된 경도관 폐동맥 판막 천공술은 성공률이 40.0 %, 합병증이 28%, 심도자술 후 사망률이 12.0%로 나타났다. 결 론: 신생아의 심도자 및 조영술은 심초음파적 진단의 발전으로 선천성 심질환에서 진단적 비중은 줄어들었으나 치료 목적의 중재적 시술이 체중과 관계없이 비교적 안전하게 시행되고 있으며 경도관 폐동맥 판막 천공술을 제외하면 비교적 좋은 결과를 나타내고 있다.
