Cortriatriatum is rare congenital heart disease characterized by the presence of a fibromuscular diaphragm that subdivides the left atrium into a proximal or "accessory" and a distal or "true" left atrial chamber. A 15 year old girl with cortriatriatum underwent surgical correction at the department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Soonchunhyang College in November, 1984. This case was preoperatively diagnosed as a single atrium with functional tricuspid regurgitation But on operation, we found that there were transverse septum in the left atrium through large ASD, low chamber receives the pulmonary veins, and the upper chamber gives rise to the left atrial appendage and leads to the mitral valve. And the anomalous membrane has no fenestrations. We excised completely the anomalous septum, reconstructed atrial septal defect with dacron patch and performed the tricuspid annuloplasty with DeVega method. Postoperative course was uneventful during follow up, during follow up.

Nineteen patients with various types of cyanotic congenital heart disease underwent systemic-pulmonary artery shunts with a microporous polytetrafluoroethylene [PTFE] graft between September, 1983, and April, 1985. Age ranged from 3 months to 18 years, and seven of them were less than 12 months old. There were seventeen Great Ormond Street type of modified Blalock-Taussig shunts, and two central polytetrafluoroethylene shunt [ascending aorta-right pulmonary artery]. There was one postoperative death [1/19=5.3%] in a 10 Kg child born with pulmonary atresia and ventricular septal defect associated with patent ductus arteriosus. He had another anomaly of imperforated anus. Relief from cyanosis was achieved in other eighteen patients with variable degree. Eighteen survivors have been followed up from 1 month to 19 months. Clinical status, auscultation, oxygen partial pressure of arterial blood, and hemoglobin have been used to establish shunt patency in all survivors. By above criteria, all survivors have good patent shunt.

This is a case report of total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage with Atrial septal defect, which was corrected surgically by intracardiac procedure under total cardiopulmonary bypass. This 9 years old girl, she complained mild cyanosis, exertional dyspnea, and frequent upper respiratory infection from 3 months age. The chest X-ray showed cardiomegaly and a "snow man appearance", she has systolic murmur with splitting of S2. The diagnosis was confirmed with right heart catheterization, the catheter was reached to right pulmonic vein passed through right atrium, right superior vena cava, innominate vein, left superior vena cava, and common venous trunk. On 28th, Dec. 1979, an anastomosis between common pulmonary venous trunk and left atrium, Pericardial patch closure of ASD, and ligation of left superior vena cava were performed with Extra-corporeal circulation. The postoperative course was uneventful and discharged with excellent general condition.Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Drainage with A.S.D. with A.S.D.

Three neonates with interrupted aortic arch with VSD underwent one stage repair using revised technique of cardiopulmonary bypass with short period of circulatory arrest. A left posterolateral thoracotomy was made to permit mobilization of the descending aorta and placement of polytetrafluoroethylene[PTFE graft for distal aortic perfusion. Then the patient was placed in the supine position and a median sternotomy was performed to permit the proximal dissection, VSD repair, and direct anastomosis between the ascending aorta and descending aorta. This technique has advantages to facilitate direct anastomosis between the ascending aorta and the descending aorta, to lessen circulatory arrest time, and to prevent dangerous laceration and post-operative narrowing of the thin small ascending aorta at cannulation site. There was no operative mortality but postoperative stenosis developed in one case which was relieved with balloon aortoplasty.

A four-month-old intact femlae Abyssinian cat was present for routine health evaluation, because her littermate was recently died of ventricular septal defect. Diagnostic imaging studies showed a large caudal paracardiac mass in thoracic radiography and homogenous mass adjacent to heart in the echocardiography. Further echographic study revealed that the mass was liver and the diaphragmatic line was intact. The positive contrast celiogram revealed that no extravasation of the contrast media across the diaphragm and the prolapse of diaphragm into the pleural cavity. Based on our diagnostic imaging studies, the case was diagnosed as diaphragmatic deformity in a cat mimicking a cardiac mass.

We report the successful use of Nifedipine in the treatment of acute pulmonary hypertension in an young child after a cardiac operation. This patient had undergone patch closure of large ventricular septal defect. She had signs of severe pulmonary artery hypertension unresponsive to hyperventilation, oxygenation, sedation, and a myriad of vas-oactive drugs. Nifedipine, 0.3mg /kg every 4 hours, effectively treated her pulmonary artery hypertension and allowed for a smooth postoperative course and positive outcome. The drug lowered systemic diastolic pressure, but not systolic pressure.

During one year[1987], 110 cases of open heart surgeries were performed in the department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Pusan Paik Hospital, Inje Medical College. And the results were summarized as follows. 1. Among the 110 cases, there were 77 cases of congenital heart diseases and 33 cases of acquired heart diseases. Age range of the congenital patients was 8 months to 30 years with the mean age of 8 years, and acquired patients was 16 to 56 years with the mean age was 32 years. 2. The heart lung machine used for cardiopulmonary bypass was Sarns 7000, 5-head roller pump, and the number and type of oxygenators were 50 of membrane type and 60 of bubble type. For all cases GIK[glucose-insulin-potassium] solution was used as cardioplegic solution for myocardial protection during operation. 3. Among the 77 congenital anomalies, there were 67 cases of acyanotic patients[ASD: 12, VSD: 50, PS: 1, AP window: 1, Gerbode defect: 1, ECD: 2] and 10 cases of cyanotic patients[TOF: 10], and to all of which the appropriate radical operations were applied. 4. Among the 33 acquired diseases, there were one case of left atrial myxoma, one of annuloaortic ectasia, 20 of mitral valve diseases[MS: 2, MSr: 8, MR: 2, MRs: 8], 9 of double valve diseases[MRs+AR: 1, MRs+ARs: 2, MRs+TR: 1, MSr+TR: 3, MSr+ASr: 1, MSr+ARs: 1], 2 of triple valve diseases[MSr+AR+TR: 1, MSr+ASr+TR: 1]. The left atrial myxoma was removed well with right atriotomy and atrial septal approach. And to the annuloaortic ectasia, Bentall operation was applied with good result. Mitral valve replacement[MVR] was applied to 20 cases of mitral valve diseases, double valve replacement[MVR+AVR] was applied to 6 cases of double valve diseases, MVR & tricuspid annuloplasty[TVA] was applied to 3 cases of mitral 5. The number of replaced valve were 39 in 31 cases. In MVR, 5 of mechanical valves[St. Jude Medical Valve] and 26 of tissue valves[Carpentier-Edward valve] were used. In AVR, 3 of mechanical valves and 5 of tissue valves were used. 6. Postoperative complications were occurred in 23 cases, and among them 21 cases were recovered with intensive cares, but 2 cases were expired[mortality: 1.8%].
