A 73-year-old woman who underwent combined bioprosthetic mitral valve replacement, tricuspid ring annuloplasty, and coronary artery bypass grafting 12 years previously visited our clinic due to aggravated dyspnea caused by structural valve deterioration of the mitral prosthesis. Because aortic or femoral artery cannulation and cross-clamping would have a high risk of stroke owing to severe calcification of the ascending aorta and ilio-femoral vessels, and because there was a risk of redo sternotomy due to the patent bypass grafts, a comprehensive approach including axillary artery cannulation, a minimally invasive right thoracotomy approach, and a clampless hypothermic fibrillatory arrest technique was used during redo mitral valve replacement.

A case of Annuloaortic Ectasia associated with Marfan syndrome and mitral regurgitation is treated surgically by Bentall`s method and mitral annuloplasty. The Annuloaortic Ectasia is frequently accompanied with Marfan syndrome, its definition is simply explained as the following; the marked dilatation of the sinuses of Valsalva and the aortic annulus as well as the huge aneurysm of the ascending aorta. As the operative finding, the intimal tearing was shown as circular and the both coronary ostia were changed the position into high up. The patient was taken a corrective operation replacing the ascending aorta and aortic valve with a composite graft[St. Jude medical valve 29mm, woven Dacron tubular graft 31mm]. The both coronary ostia were reimplanted on the graft with 4-0 prolene by continuous suture. Mitral annuloplasty was performed. After the operation, the patient developed both spontaneous pneumothorax, he improved state by the closed thoracostomy. He has been doing well, postoperatively.

From Jan 1982 through Dec.1991, thirty-three DeVega`s tricuspid annuloplasties were performed in association with mitral and combined mitral and aortic valve disease. Preoperatively,all of the patients were in NYHA functional class III or IV.There were one early death and 4 patients died during follow up period of 18 to 138 months [ mean follow up : 67.3 months ]. Nine patients required reoperation because of biological mitral valve failure at 4.7 to 11 years after tricuspid annuloplasty[TAP]. Among these patients,2 cases needed for reoperation of TAP due to loosening of suture material. Twenty four [86%] of the survivors were in NYHA functional class I or II after TAP.The actuarial survival rate for the TAP was 74% at 138 months. Rt atrial pressure of 9 reoperation cases were significantly decreased [P<0.05] compared with initial Rt.atrial pressure [ Mean period; 93.6 months].Doppler echocardiographic studies for tricuspid regurgitation were performed in 15 cases after TAP [Mean period: 42.3 months].These results showed significantly reduced [P<0.01] tricuspid annulus diameter and tricuspid regurgitation distance [ P<0.05 ].Our surgical experience that the DeVega`s TAP is a simple,safe,effective procedure and resulted in good hemodynamic improvement with moderate to severe functional tricuspid regurgitation.

We have experienced 2 cases vocal cord paralysis after open heart surgery. One was a postoperatively developed right unilateral vocal cord paralysis after prosthetic mitral valve replacement with tricuspid valve annuloplasty. The other was a postoperative left unilateral vocal cord paralysis after prosthetic aortic and mitral valve replacement with tricuspid annuloplasty. They were intubated for forty-eight and seventy-two hours but after extubation complained of hoarseness, aphonia, anxiety, and ineffective coughing Indirect laryngoscopy performed at about postoperative one week, revealed partial paralysis and decreased mobility of the vocal cord. After active phonation therapy, symptoms were improved gradually and in the follow up indirect laryngoscopy, the vocal cord paralysis was improved. The symptoms were recovered completely at about postoperative one month in both. The cause of vocal cord paralysis after open heart surgery may be any retraction or stretching injury to the recurrent laryngeal nerve, especially right side, during median sternotomy retraction and open heart operation procedures. As a result, avoid of excessive spread of median sternotomy retractor and excessive manipulation and retraction of the heart during open heart procedures will reduce the occurrence of the vocal cord paralysis.

From September 1980 to July 1986, 135 cases of cardiac valve surgery were performed under the cardiopulmonary bypass. Out of 135 cases, single valve surgery was 114 cases including open mitral commissurotomy 17, mitral annuloplasty 2, mitral valve replacement 85, and aortic valve replacement 10 and double valve surgery was 21 cases. There were 68 males and 67 females ranging from 9 to 57 years of age. Early death within 30 days after operation was 17 cases [12.6%] and caused of death were ventricular arrhythmia 5, low cardiac output syndrome 4, excessive bleeding 3, pulmonary complication 2, and so on. Among 118 early survivors, 5 cases [5.1%] of late death were developed over a period of 2 to 72 months, and main cause of death was fatal bleeding complication associated with anticoagulation therapy. Symptomatically, 91.8% of patients were in NYHA functional class I or II at the end of the follow-up.

One hundred cases of open heart surgery were done at this Department in 1977. There were 65 congenital anomaly and 35 acquired diseases. Out of 65 cases of congenital malformation 35 acyanotic and 30 cyanotic cases were found. Fifteen cases of ventricular septal defect and 29 tetralogy of Fallot were noted eight patients expired out of 65 congenital anomaly [12.3%] , 4 out of 35 acyanotic [11. 4%] and 4 among 30 cyanotic anomaly[13.3%]. Among 35 cases of acquired heart disease 3 atrial myxoma [2 left and one right] and 32 valvular lesions were noted. In two cases open mitral commissurotomy, and in 30 valve replacement were done. Twenty-two single valve and 8 double valve replacement were done. Seven patients expired out of 30 patients [23.3%]. Among 22 single valve replacement cases 2 and among 8 double valve 5 died. ~ In eighteen mitral valve replacement cases 2 deaths occurred. One mitral insufficiency patient who expired suffered from severe pulmonary` hypertension [PA=120/67mmHg], tricuspid insufficiency and a large ventricular septal defect. The patient underwent mitral valve replacement, tricuspid annuloplasty and patch closure of ventricular septal defect. Over all mortality rate for 100 open heart surgery cases was 15%. Since 1977 open heart surgery cases were done routinely in this institution and cases are increasing rapidly. With present rapid improvement of economical status and introduction of medical insurance system, open heart surgery will be firmly established in Korea in the very near future.
