Surgical treatment of congenital and acquired heart disease preceded the development of accurate techniques for diagnosis, heart lung machine and cardiopulmonary bypass, intraoperative myocardial protection, operative techniques and cardiac anesthesia. For 5 years from Sep. 1985 to Sep. 1990, six hundred cases of open heart surgeries [OHS] were performed in the department of Thoracic & Cardiovascular Surgery, Pusan Paik Hospital, College of Medicine, Inje University. The results were summarized as follows. 1. The annual number of OHS[cases per year] was above 100 since 1987, and the increasing rate of cases was 23.5% per year since 1986. 2. Among the total 600 cases, there were 470 cases of congenital heart diseases and 130 cases of acquired. Age range of the congenital patients was 8 months to 44 years with the mean age of 10 years, and acquired patients was 16 to 56 years with the mean age of 36 years. 3. Among the 470 congenital anomalies, there were 429 cases of acyanotic and 41 cyanotic patients. Totally, VSD was 286 cases[60.6%], ASD 103 cases[21.9%], TOF 35 cases [7.4%], PS 20 cases [4.1%], ECD 12 cases [2.0%], Ebstein`s anomaly 3 cases [0.6%], Valsalva sinus rupture 3 cases [0.6%] and others. The appropriate one stage radical operations were applied to the all congenital cases with the result of 2.6% immediate postoperative hospital mortality rate. 4. Among the 130 acquired cases, there were 122 cases of valvular heart diseases, 6 of heart tumors [5 myxoma, one malignant histiocytoma], one of LA thrombus and one of annuloaortic ectasia. Cardiac tumors and LA thrombus were removed through the atrial septal approach. Bentall procedure was adopted to the annuloaortic ectasia case. AVR, MVR and TVA [DeVega procedure] were applied to 120 valve diseases, and there were also one of OMC and one of MVA[Jerome-Kay procedure]. 5. Among the 120 valve replacement cases, there were 87 of single valve replacement cases [AVR: 8, MVR: 79], 11 of double valve replacement [AVR+MVR: 11], 12 of MVR+TVR and 10 of MVR+AVR+TVA. The total number of implanted prosthetic valves were 141. In MVR, 45 of St. Jude Medical valves, 63 of Carpentier-Edward valves and 4 of Ionescu-Shiley valves were used. In AVR, 18 of St. Jude Medical valves and 11 of Carpentier-Edward valves were used. in MVR, 29mm and 31mm sized valves were used mostly and In AVR, 23mm sized valves were used mostly. 6. Postoperatively many kinds of complications were occurred. Among them, wound problems [30 cases], low output syndrome [29 cases], arrhythmia [20 cases], pleural effusion and pneumothorax [13 cases] were occurred frequently. The postoperative immediate hospital mortality was 3.0% in total [congenital 2.6%, acquired 4.6%].

Twenty eight patients had undergone repair of an isolated complete atrioventricular septal defect between April 1986 and September 1990 in Seoul National University Children`s Hospital. The group comprised 13 male and 15 female patients. They ranged in age from 2 months to 8 years[mean 18.6months] and in weight from 3. 4kg to 23kg[mean 9.0$\pm$4.6kg]. They were analysed as Rastelli type A in 17 patients, Rastelli type B in 2 patients, and Rastelli type C in 9 patients. Seven patients had concomitant Down`s syndrome. All patients had large left-to-right shunt[mean pulmonary to systemic flow ratio 3.5 $\pm$2.2 ranging from 0.68 to 10.0] and high pulmonary systolic pressure[mean 74$\pm$18.8mmHg, ranging from 35 to 110]. In 11 patients, one patch technique was used to close the atrial and ventricular septal defect and 16 patients were undergone by two patch technique. We urgently managed only one patient by pulmonary artery banding whose anatomy was Rastelli type C and severe mitral regurgitation was identified. Postoperative complete A - V block was noted in 3 patients, two of whom were dead in operating room due to combined LVOTO and myocardial failure, and one patient with Rastelli type C was undergone by VVI type permanent pacemaker insertion 1wk later after two patch technique, but we had to manage him by modified Konno operation and total correction due to LVOTO and VSD leakage and severe mitral regurgitation 3 years later. Another two reoperation cases due to severe mitral regurgitation after two patch technique were undergone, one of whom we managed by mitral annuloplasty 3 months later but aggravated mitral regurgitation made us to control him by MVR 3 months later. Another one case of VSD leakage and tricuspid regurgitation was managed by total correction but she died of respiratory insufficiency 14 days later. We experienced pulmonary hypertensive crisis in 3 patients, who were dead in two cases comparing with one control case. So operative mortality is 9/27[33.6%], in one patch group of 3/11[29.2%] comparing with two patch group of 6/16[37.5%]. In summary, causes of death were pump weaning failure, myocardial failure and low cardiac output syndrome and pulmonary hypertensive crisis, resp. failure, complete AV block. Mean follow up period is 15.8$\pm$10.7 months[ranging from 3months to 37 months]

[here are so many reports that pulsatile blood flow provides physiologic organ perfusions during cardiopulmonary bypass. So, we compared the recent 30 cases undergoing cardiac surgery by Cobe-Stckert pulsatile roller pump with another 30 cases by Polystan nonpulsatile roller pump. Pulsatile flow was applied during aortic-cross clamping period when synchronized to internal EKG simulator, and perfusion mode was changed to continuous nonpulsatile flow after declamping of aorta. Age, sex, weight, and disease entities were comparable and operative techniques were similar between two groups. 1. There were no differences in average ACC time, ECC time, and Operation time. 2. Postoperative artificial respiration time was 6hrs 30mins in nonpulsatile group and 4hrs 48mins in pulsatile group, and detubation time after ventilator weaning was 2hrs 44mins in nonpulsatile group and 1hrs 43mins in pulsatile group. 3. Average pulse pressure was 8mmHg in nonpulsatile group and 55mmHg in pulsatile group, and a mean arterial pressure was 66.0mmHg in nonpulsatile group and 60.7mmHg in pulsatile group. 4. Mean urine-output during ACC;ECC period was 9.717.3;9.913.2ml/kg/hr in nonpulsatile group and 14.215.0;15.817.5 in pulsatile group [p<0, 05], and thereafter progressive decrease of differences in urine output between two groups until POD 2, and lesser amounts of diuretics was needed in pulsatile group during same postoperative period. Serum BUN/Cr level showed no specific difference and urine concentration power was well preserved in both groups. 5. Plasma proteins and other Enzymes showed no differences between two groups, but serum GOT/GPT level was higher in nonpulsatile group till POD 2. 6. Serum Electrolytes showed no differences between two groups. 7. WBC, RBC, Platelet counts, Hgb and Hct were not different and Coagulogram was well preserved in both groups. 8. Plasma free Hgb level was 7.09mg% in pulsatile group compared with 3.48mg% in pulsatile group on POD 1 but was normalized on POD 2. Gross hemoglobinuria after ECC was noted in 6 cases [20%] of pulsatile group and 4 cases [13%] of nonpulsatile group. 9. In both groups, most patients were included in NYHA class III to IV [28 cases;93% in nonpulsatile group, 22 cases;73% in pulsatile group] preoperatively, and well improved to class I to 11[22 cases; 73% in nonpulsatile group, 30 cases; 100% in pulsatile group] postoperatively. There were 7 operative mortalities in nonpulsatile group only, which were 5 cases of TOF with hepatic failure, 1 case of multiple VSDs with low out-put syndrome, and 1 case of mitral valvular heart disease with cardiomyopathy. We concluded that the new, commercially available Cobe-Stckert pulsatile roller pump device was safe, simple, and reliable.

Background: Reconstruction surgery of mitral valve regurgitation is now considered as an effective operative technique and has shown good long-term results. Although reconstructive surgery of mitral valve has been performed since 1970s, we have started only in early 1990s in full scale because of small number of the mitral regurgitation compared to mitral stenosis and lack of knowledge from the viewpoint of patients and physicians. Material and Method: From January 1992 to December 1996, 100 patients underwent repair of the mitral valve for mitral regurgitation with or without mitral stenosis in Seoul National University Hospital. 45(45%) of the patients were men and 55(55%) were women. The mean age was 39.9$\pm$14.4 years. The causes of the mitral regurgitation were rheumatic in 61, degenerative in 28 and others in 11. According to the Carpentier's pathological classification of mitral regurgitation 5 patients were type I. 55 patients were type II and 40 patients were type III. 7 patients underwent concomitant aortic valvuloplasty and 8 patients underwent aortic valve replacement. 7 patients underwent Maze operation or pulmonary vein isolation. Result: There were no operative death but 3 major operative complications: 2patients were postoperative low cardiac output syndrome(needed intra-aortic ballon pump support) and 1 patient was postoperative bleeding. There was one late death(1.0%) The cause of death was sepsis secondary to acute bacterial endocarditis. 3 patients required reoperation for recurred mitral regurgitation. There were no statistically significant risk factors for reoperation. The other 96 patients showed no or mild degree of mitral regurgitation 99 survivors were in NYHA functional class I or II. There were two throumboembolisms but no anticoagulation-related complications. Conclusion: We concluded that mitral valve repair could be performed successfully in most cases of mitral regurgitation even in the rheumatic and combined lesions with very low operative mortality and morbidity. The early results are very promising.

저자들은 1993년 5월부터 1995년 5월까지 인공심폐기를 사용한 개심술을 받은 211명을 대상으로 후향적 조사를 하였다. 우리는 술후 새로이 발생한 급성 신부전에 초점을 두었기에 술전 creatinine 수치가 1.5 mg/dL이하였던 환자를 다변수 통계를 이용하여 조사하였다. 술전 신기능이 정상이었던 환자는 198명(74%)이었는데 이중 27명(14%)이 술후 신장 합병증을 보였다. 20명(10%)은 신기능 이상상태(1.5$\leq$serum creatinine level < 2.5 mg/dL)였고, 7명(4%)은 급성 신부전(serum creatinine level$\geq$2.5mg/dL) 상태였다. 수술 사망률은 정상에서는 5.8%, 신기능 이상 환자에서는 5%, 급성 신부전 환자에서는 43%였다(p=0.036). 술후 급성 신부전은 심혈관 합병증, 호흡기 합병증과 함께 수술 사망의 독립적인 위험인자로 밝혀졌고, 다변수 분석에서 술후 급성 신부전 발생 위험인자는 고령, 응급수술, 저심박출증 등이었다. 술전 신부전을 보였던 13명에서 정상이었던 환자보다 술후 유병률과 사망률이 높았다. 결론적으로 술전 신기능 이상을 보이지 않았던 환자에서 술후 급성 신부전의 발생률은 낮았으나, 신부전과 동반된 사망률은 여전히 높았다. 그러므로 술전, 술중, 술후 신부전 발생에 영향을 주는 혈류역학 인자들의 세심한 관찰이 요구된다.

인제대학교 의과대학 서울백병원 흉부외과학교실에서는 1987년 10월부터 1995년 12월까지 20세 이상의 성인 팔로사징후 9례에서 완전교정술을 시행하였다. 환자는 남자 5례, 여자 4례로 연령은 22세에서 42세까지였고 평균 29.6세였다. NYHA에 의한 기능적 분류는 Class II가 3례, Class III가 6례였고, 혈색소치는 10.8 ∼ 20.7 gm/㎗(평균 15.6 gm/㎗)였다. 술전임상 증상 및 징후는 청색증 8례, 운동시 호흡곤란 6례, 곤봉수지 5례, 잦은 상기도 감염 3례 였다. 폐동맥판 및 누두부협착이 모든 예에서 있었고, 2례에서는 좌측폐동맥에 발육부전이 있었다. 우심실유출로 협착에 대한 수술은 7례에서는 누두부절제술 및 판막절개술후 누두부에만 Goretex 첩포를 대어 확장술을 하였고, 2례에서는 누두부절제술과 판막절개술후 폐동맥 판막륜이 작아 이를 절개하여 주폐동맥까지 Goretex 첩포를 대어 확장하였다. 좌측 폐동맥에 발육부전이 있는 2례에서는 자가심낭편을 이용하여 폐동맥성형술을 하였다. 술후 사망환자는 없었고 합병증은 6례에서 발생하였는데 출혈이 가장 많아 5례에서 있었고 저심박출증 4례(44.4%)였다. 1례에서 일차수술 3개월후 잔존 심실중격결손과 삼첨판폐쇄부전이 있어 재수술을 하였다. 평균 추적관찰기간은 평균 25개월(범위, 11∼77개월)이었다. 술후 모든 환자는 NYHA class I이었다. 따라서 팔로사징후에서 나이가 들었다는 자체가 수술의 금기는 아니며, 성인 팔로사징후는 사망률도 낮으므로 완전교정이 가능하다고 사료된다.

허혈성 심질환의 치료로서 시행되는 관동맥우회술은 최근 국내에서도 보편적으로 시행되고 있는데 1992년부터 1996까지 영남대학교 의과대학 흉부외과학교실에서 시행한 63례의 관동맥우회술을 대상으로 수술성적 및 술전 위험인자들이 술후 합병증에 미치는 영향을 조사하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 환자의 성별 및 연령을 보면 총 63례의 환자 중 남자가 44례, 여자가 19례였으며 연령 분포는 36세에서 71세까지 평균 $58.3{\pm}8.6$세였으며 50대와 60대에서 대부분을 차지하였다. 원위문합수는 환자당 평균 3.5개의 원위부 문합을 하였으며 수술사망은 6례였으며 술후 합병증으로 부정맥이 7례, 창상감염이 5례, 술후 출혈이 4례, 술중 및 술후 심근경색이 4례, 뇌졸증이 4례, 그리고 위장관 및 신장 합병증이 5례에서 발생하였다. 술후 합병증 발생의 요소를 분석해 본 결과 술전 관동맥질환 발생의 위험인자 중 흡연환자에서 합병증의 발생빈도가 유의하게 증가하였으며(p<0.05) 술전 위험인자로 정맥으로 Nitroglycerin의 투여가 필요했던 경우와 대동맥 차단시간이 2시간 이상인 경우 합병증의 발생빈도가 유의하게 증가하였으며(p<0.05) 특히 65세 이상의 고령 환자의 경우 수술사망율이 유의하게 증가하였다(p<0.05). 이상의 결과로 흡연, 65세 이상의 고령, 술전 정맥으로 Nitroglycerin의 투여가 필요했던 경우 그리고 이식혈관의 수가 많아 대동맥 차단시간이 긴 경우 술중 및 술후 관리에 더욱 섬세한 주의가 필요함을 알 수 있었다.

To elucidate a potential contribution of endotheline-1[ET-1] to the genesis of pulmonary hypertension and postoperative pulmonary hypertensive crisis in the patients with heart disease, we measured plasma levels of the ET-1 during perioperative period of open heart surgery. In addition, we examined changes of ET-1 during perioperative period and correlations between ET-1 levels and hemodynamic variables. 12 patients including 5 acquired heart disease and 7 congenital heart disease patients were selected randomly as a study group, Group A and B, respectively. 6 patients proved not having heart or hemodynamic problem were selected as a control, Group C. 110 blood samples from pulmonary artery[ET-P] and radial artery[ET-S] were taken and assayed by Sep-pak extraction and RIA. ET-1 levels of Group A were ET-P, 3.94$\pm$5.31pg /ml, ET-S, 3.10$\pm$2.90pg/ml[p>0.05], Group B were ET-P, 1.63$\pm$0.62pg/ml, ET-S, 1.99$\pm$2.45pg/ml[p>0.05], Group C were ET-P, 1.97$\pm$2.02pg/ml, ET-S, 1.72$\pm$0.77pg/ml[p>0.05]. There were no statistically significant differences of ET-1 levels among the Group A, B, C[p>0.05]. There was no correlation between pulmonary artery pressure[PAP] and ET-1 level[p>0.05], and ET-1 levels were not increased even in the cases of pulmonary hypertensive criwis or low cardiac output syndrome, whereas significant correlation between ET-S and pulmonary vascular res-istance[Rp] [r=0.36, p<0.05], and negative correlation between ET-S and OS saturation of pulmonary artery[OS-P][r= -0.49, p<0.01] were identified. Another significant finding was peak increase of ET-1 levels in the postoperative period 1 hour[p<0.05] and then gra-dualy decrease through the postoperative period. In conclusion, ET-1 has no correlation with PAP, whereas correlation with Rp, and inverse correlation with OS-P. It is suggested that ET-1 is neither the direct causative substance of pulmonary hypertension nor pulmonary vasospasm but there must be increased production of ET-1 in chronic pulmonary hypertensive state. Counter-regulatory mechanism to ET-1 is speculated during the pulmonary vasospasm.

관상동맥우회술의 경험이 축적됨에 따라 관상동맥우회술의 재수술은 증가하는 추세이나 아직까지 국내 보고는 미흡한 수준이다. 저자들은 관상동맥 재수술의 사망률, 유병률 등의 임상경험을 정리하고 분석하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1994년 1월부터 2002년 12월까지 관상동맥우회술의 재수술을 시행 받은 14명의 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 최초 수술 후 재수술까지의 기간은 평균 66$\pm$56 (3∼157)개월이었고 재수술 시 평균연령은 62.8$\pm$8.7 (51∼78)세였다. 2003년 6월 30일을 추적관찰 종료시점으로 하여 평균추적관찰 기간은 43$\pm$29 (8∼105)개월이었다. 재수술의 적응증은 이식편의 협착 또는 완전폐쇄가 11예(78.6%), 관상동맥질환의 진행이 1예, 그리고 두 가지 병리가 혼재한 경우가 2예였다. 결과: 입원기간 중 사망은 2예(14.3%)가 발생하였고 사망원인은 저심박출증이었다. 술 후 합병증은 총 7명(50.0%)의 환자에서 8예가 발생하였는데, 수술 전후 심근경색이 2예(14.3%), 종격동염이 1예(7.2%), 십이지장 궤양천공 1예, 허혈성 하지괴사 1예, 장간막경색에 따른 위장관 천공 1예, 지연 뇌경색 1예, 비장출혈 1예 등이었다. 조기사망 2예를 제외한 12명의 환자를 추적 관찰한 결과 만기사망은 1예가 발생하였고 추적관찰 종료시점에서 협심증을 호소하는 환자는 없었으며 모든 환자가 Canadian협심증분류 1급 또는 2급의 양호한 경과를 보였다. 결론: 관상동맥 재수술은 비교적 높은 유병률과 사망률을 보였으나 퇴원 후 환자상태는 양호하였으며 향후 경험의 축적과 노력이 요망된다.
