Ventricular septal defect[VSD] associated with aortic regurgitation[AR] represents 2 to 7.5% of all VSD which is most common congenital heart disease. The aortic valve may by normal in infants with VSD, but the aortic regurgitation may be developed in these patients later. The aortic valve became fibrotic, thickened, deformed and prolapsed, so these late deformities require to be corrected with plication, valvuloplasty or aortic valve replacement [AVR]. There are some controversy between the early repair of VSD alone and the late repair of VSD and aortic valve till now. From December 1971 to August 1983, we had experienced 24 patients of VSD associated with AR which constitute 6.5% of our total patients with VSD. The VSD was subpulmoary [type I] in 14[58.3%], subcristal [type II] in 8[33.3%], atrioventricular canal type[type III] in 1, and combine of type I and II in 1. Patch repair of VSD was made in 15 patients and direct suture of small VSD in 9.14 patients had aortic plication of valvuloplasty and 9 had AVR accompanying VSD repair, and 1 patient had VSD closure alone. The postoperative courses of these patients were uneventful except in some cases. A patient who was undertaken AVR with Starr-Edwards ball valve and VSD closure, died due to left ventricular failure and low cardiac output syndrome. Follow up shows, in 14 patients with aortic plication or valvuloplasty, AR was developed in 9. In 9 AVR, there were two later complications which were paravalvular leakage in one and re-AVR due to subacute bacterial endocarditis in another.
Twenty-seven patients with double-outlet right ventricle underwent complete intracardiac repair between 1978 and 1983, June, at Seoul National University Hospital . Although definite aorto-mitral discontinuity was discovered in 20 patients, both great arteries arose wholly or mostly from the right ventricle in all cases. There were 17 cases with subaortic VSD, 6 with subpulmonic, 2 with doubly-committed, and 2 with non-committed VSD. Pulmonary stenosis was present in 21 patients. Intraventricular baffle repair was applied in 23 patients. Three patients required extracardiac conduit to establish continuity between right ventricle and pulmonary artery, and modified Fontan operation was performed in one patient. Over-all mortality rate was 37.0%, but recently 4 of 15 died [26.7%]. One late death occurred from infective endocarditis. Incremental risk factors were small patient size, subpulmonic or non-committed VSD, presence of PS, coronary artery anomalies, associated valvular lesion and other complicated anomalies. However, great artery relationship, restrictive VSD and transannular patch were not risk factors. No instances of complete heart block occurred. Of the survivors, all showed complete or in complete right bundle branch block and in one patient intermittent ventricular tachycardia had developed. The important cause of death was low cardiac output syndrome.
From January 1993 to April 1995, 27 neonates (under age of 30 days underwent open heart surgery in the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Dong-A Medical Center. Mean age and weight were 12.1 days(2days∼306ays) and 3.29 kg(2.6kg∼4.1 kg) respectively. Cardiac anomalies were simple complete transposition of great arteries(TGA) in 11 neonates, TGA with coarctation of aorta(COA) in 1 , total anomalous pulmonary venous connection(TAPVC) in 5, double inlet right ventricle with TAPVC in 1, interrupted aortic arch(IAA) with ventricular septal defect(VSD) in 3, pulmonary atresia(PA) with intact ventricular septum(IVS) in 3, pulmonary stenosis with IVS in 1, Taussig-Bing anomaly with IAA in 1, and hypoplastic left heart syndrome(HLHS) in 1 . Postoperative complications were myocardial and/or pulmonary edema which caused open sternum in 13 patients(54.2%), acute renal failure( RF) in 10(37.0%), Intractable low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS) including weaning failure from cardiopulmonary bypass in 7(25.9%), bronchopulmonary dysplasia in 1, wound infection in 1, and paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia in 1. Nine of 13 patients with postoperative open sternum were recovered with delayed sternal closure, and seven of 10 patients survived postoperative ARF with peritoneal dialysis. There were 8 operative deaths(29.6%): 3 in the patients with simple complete TGA, 1 In TCA with COA, 1 in PA with IVS, 1 in Taussig-Bing anomaly with IAA, 1 in DIRV with TAPVC, and 1 in HLHS. One late death occurred after arterial switch operation in simple TGA. The mosts common cause of death was low cardiac output syndrome. Our initial experience of open heart surgery in neonates showed high operative mortality and morbidity, especially in complex anomalies.
Background: In an effort t enhance long term patency of coronary bypass grafts, utilization of arterial conduits have been on an icrease. With the same objective, we have been using the right gastroepiploic artery(RGEA)in coronary artery bypass procedures since 1998. The current paper has been undertaken with the aim of assessing the apropriateness, problems, and short term results of using the RGEA as an arterial graft conduit by studying the postoperative clinical results of 100 patients than received coronary artery bypass grafting (CARG) with this artery. Material and Method: Between May of 1998 and May of 1999, an analysis of the mortality, postoperative myocardial infarction, and the need for IABP insertion as a result of low cardiac output were made between 100 consecutive patients undergoing CABG with the RGEA. Result: There was one postoperative death due to cerebral infarction. Postoperative complications/morbidity comprised myocardial infarction in 2, cerebral infarct in 3, reoperation due to bleeding in 1, mediastinitis in 1, and low cardiac output syndrome necessitating IABP in 3 patients. Complicatons related to harvesting of the arterial grafts were not experienced in any of the patients. Conclusion: The results of the current data show that utilization of the RGEA in CABG is not associated with increased mortality/morbidity and demonstrates satisfactory short term results suggesting the usefulnessof this conduit as an arterial graft.
A 10-year-old 4-kg spayed female Chihuahua with severe congestive heart failure was referred for surgical treatment. Through several examinations, the dog was diagnosed as severe mitral regurgitation (MR) and moderate TR. Because of the poor prognosis associated with continuation of medical management, surgical repair of the mitral valve was considered as the treatment option for the dog. The mitral valve repair was performed undergoing cardio pulmonary bypass (CPB) circuit. However after mitral repair, the dog was died without recovery from anesthesia. Many risk factors associated with failure of cardiac surgery are included CPB management, hypothermia, organ dysfunction, hemorrhage, hypotension, electrolyte & acid base imbalance, and infection. Although the dog is died from the operation, it is an important to reveal the factors of failure in veterinary clinic. From the case report, causes of failure of mitral valve repair can be considered from the failure of oxygenation and gas exchange by hypothermia and serious hypotension with low heart rate by low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS). Through the several considerations from this case, it is known that coming cardiac surgery for mitral valve repair is required to be more careful for successful operation. Further it can be brought to increase success rate in further operation.
During the period from March, 1963, to November, 1977, forty-eight patients with secundum type atrial septal defects have undergone surgical repair using cardiopulmonary bypass with a pump oxygenator at the Seoul National University Hospital. Twenty-six [55 percent] of the patients were females and Twenty-two [45 percent] were males. The patients varied in age from 3 years to 51 years. We have divided secundum defects into three types. These are: 1] the high defect; 2] Ovale type defect; and 3] low defect including the defect in the area of the coronary sinus. An ovale type defect was present in forty-one cases [85 percent]. Partial anomalous pulmonary venous connections were present in two patients in the high defect group. All of the forty-eight patients had had right heart catheterization before operation. The pulmonary to systemic flow ratio [Qp/Qs] was determined in our 38 patients. The Qp/Qs was less than 1.5/1 in only five of the 38 patients. Among the 33 patients with moderate and severe left-to-right shunts [Qp/Qs 1.6-3.5/1], the systolic pulmonary artery pressures. ranged from 30 to 80 mm Hg. Large left-to-right shunts [Qp/Qs>3.6/1] were present in 13 patients. The postoperative complications occurred in 13 patients [27. 1 percent]. Postoperative wound infections were the most frequent complications being present in 6 patients [12.5%]. Forty-six of the patients with secundum atrial septal defects survived surgical repair of their defects. Thus the hospital mortality of surgery was 4.2 percent. The causes of death in the early postoperative period were: 1] low cardiac output syndrome related to severe pulmonary hypertension in one case; and 2] postoperative several bleeding in one case.
Twenty two patients underwent total anatomic correction of complete atrioventricular septal defect associated with other cardiac anomalies between July 1986 and December 1994. Age ranged from 6 months to 11 years(mean 49.6 $\pm$ 35.8 months), and they were composed of 7 males and 15 females. Combined major cardiac anomalies were tetralogy of Fallot(TOF) in 11 cases, double outlet of right ventricle (DORV) in 6 ca es, and transposition of great arteries (TGA) in 5 cases. Down's syndrome was associated in 5 patients with TOF and 1 patient with DORV. They were classified as Rastelli type A in 3 patients, B in 2 patients, and C in 17 patients. Modified Blalock-Taussig shunt was performed.in 5 patients and Waterston shunt in 1 patient as a palliative procedure. There were 7 perioperative deaths(31.8%) and the causes were pump weaning failure, low cardiac output, acute renal failure, persistant pulmonary hypertension and hypertensive crisis, and sepsis. Reoperations were performed in 4 cases to repair atrioventricular valvular regurgitation or to relieve the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) or pulmonary arterial stenosis. One late death was due to aspiration pneumonia. Second reoperation was necessary for progressive worsening of left atrioventricular regurgitation and RVOT stenosis in one patient. Fourteen survived patients were followed up for a mean of 66.0 $\pm$ 26.7months and all of them w re NYHA functional class I or II.
Background: The Duromedics valve has been used in Korea since 1982, however, but there were no long term clinical results that have been reported. This paper presents the long term clinical results of Duromedics valve implanted in Seoul National University Hospital. Material and method: Between 1987, 23 patients underwnet cardiac valve replacement with Duromedics mechanical valve. There were 8 mitral valve replacements, 5 aortic valve replacements, one tricuspid valve replacement, 6 aortic and mitral valve replacements, and one mitral and tricuspid valve replacement. There were 12 men and 11 women. The mean age was 35$\pm$10(15~52) years. We evaluated the clinical performance of Duromedics cardiac prosthesis. Result: The early operative mortality was 4.3%(1/23) and the late morlatity was 4.3%(1/23). Causes of death were low cardiac output syndrome and structural valvular failure. The mean follow-up duration was 133$\pm$43(8~157) months. There were 3 reoperations. The causes of reoperations were thrombosis and structural failure and nonstructural valvular failure. The actuarial survival rate at 10 years was 90.9%. Conclusion: Although the number of patients was not sufficient for effective clinical study, the long term clinical results of Duromedics valve was relatively good and there was no structural defect in this mechanical valve. However, more research is needed in the future.

Background: As hypertrophied myocardium predisposes the patient to decreased tolerance to ischemia and increased reperfusion injury, myocardial protection is of utmost importance in patients undergoing aortic valve replacement (AVR) for severe aortic valve stenosis (AS). Methods: Consecutive 314 patients (mean age, $62.5{\pm}10.8$ years; 143 females) with severe AS undergoing isolated AVR were included. Postoperative myocardial injury (PMI) was defined as 1) maximum postoperative creatinine kinase isoenzyme MB or troponin-I levels ${\geq}10$ times of reference, 2) postoperative low cardiac output syndrome or episodes of ventricular arrhythmia, or 3) left ventricular ejection fraction of less than 55% and decrease in left ventricle (LV) ejection fraction of more than 20% of the baseline value. Results: There were 90 patients (28.7%) who developed PMI. There were five cases of early death (1.6%), all of whom had PMI. On multivariable analysis, the use of histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate (HTK) solution instead of blood cardioplegia (odds ratio [OR], 3.06; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.63 to 5.77; p=0.001), greater LV mass (OR, 1.04; 95% CI, 1.01 to 1.07; p=0.007), and increased cardiac ischemic time (OR, 1.13; 95% CI, 1.05 to 1.22; p<0.001) were independent predictors for PMI. Patients who had PMI showed significantly inferior long-term survival than those without PMI (p=0.049). Conclusion: PMI occurred in a considerable proportion of patients undergoing AVR for severe AS and was associated with poor long-term survival. HTK cardioplegia, higher LV mass, and longer cardiac ischemic duration were suggested as predictors of myocardial injury.
We r viewed a policy of primary surgical closure of large ventricular septal defects in small infants. Sixty-three infants met criteria for inclusion in the study, and were divided into two groups based on age: group 1 infants aged less than 5 months(n = 31), and group 2 infants aged 5 months or more(n = 32). Both groups had similar variation in ventricular septal defect location(paramembranous versus muscular), and showed no significant difference in left to right shunt and in ratio of systemic and pulmonary vascualr resistance. Three early deaths(9.7%) occurred in group 1, but no death(0%) in group 2. The causes of death were preoperative cardiac arrest and cerebral injury followed by postoperative respiratory insufficiency in two patients, and preoperative tracheomalacia followed by laryngeal edema and respiratory arrest in one Two patients in group 1 showed postoperative low cardiac output syndrome(6.5% in group 1 versus 0% in group 2). There was no late death during the follow-up per od in both groups. No surviving patients had postoperative patch leakage, or required a second operation. These results indicate that primary surgical closure of large ventricular septal defects, if logical perioperative care is accompanied, can be saefly performed in small infants aged less than 5 months with low postoperative mortality or morbidity rates.
