Total 20 cases of reoperation for mitral vavular disease, which had been performed during the period from May 1983 till October 1991, were reviewed. This study contained 1 case of previous balloon valvuloplasty and 1 case of death with bleeding from right ventricle during sternal reenrty. The average time intervals between reoperation and previous operation was 19 years in closed mitral commissurotomy[n=4], 7 years and 2 months in mitral valve replacement[n=10], 1 year and 8 months in mitral valvuloplasty[n=4], 3 years and 10 months in open mitral commissurotomy [n=2]. The cause of reoperation in closed mitral commissurotomy was progression of the disease, and residual stenosis with progression was the cause in open mitral commissurotomy cases. Technical failure might be the cause in the cases of valvuloplasty. In prosthetic valve replacement group the causes of reoperation were primary failure. Also two cases of suggested valve thrombosis and one case of failure of tricuspid annuloplasty was noted in prosthetic valve replacement group. The used valves for reoperation were Ionescue-Shiley in 3 cases, Bjork-Shiley in 6 cases, St. Jude Medical in 2 cases and CarboMedics in 8 cases. The mortality rate was 20%[n=4] and the causes of death were low output syndrome in 1 case, multiple organ failure in 2 cases and bleeding in 1 case during sternal reentry. During follow up 1 case of sudden death was observed.

The present study reports 41 cases of congenital and acquired heart diseases, who received open heart surgery under extracorporeal circulation [ECC] by Sarns Heart-Lung-Machine [HLM] at the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Hanyang University Hospital during the` period between July 1975 and February 1979. The priming of pump oxygenator was carried out by the hemodilution method using Hartman`s solution, whole blood, and fresh human plasma. The rate of hemodilution was in the average of 50.8 ml/kg. ECC was performed at the average perfusion flow rate of 85.0 ml/kg/min [2.43 L./ kg/2] and at moderate hypothermia. In the total cardiopulmonary bypass, arterial pressure ranged between 55 mmHg and 90 mmHg, but generally maintaining over 70 mmHg. Patient age ranged between 2 and 54 year old, in congenital heart diseases, between 2 and 28, in acquired heart diseases, between 17 and 54 Sex ratio of male to female was 20:21. The cases include a case of pulmonary valvular stenosis, 4 cases of atrial septal defect, 9 cases of ventricular septal defect, 9 cases of tetralogy of Fallot, 5 cases of pentalogy of Fallot, 3 cases of atypical multiple anomalies 7 cases of mitral stenosis or insufficiency, a case of myxoma in left atrium, and a case of ruptured aneurysm of Valsalva`s sinus. The surgical managements were 16 valvulotomy for pulmonary valvular stenosis, 2 Teflon patch graft closure and 5 simple suture closure of atrial septal defect, 16 Teflon patch graft closure and 5 simple suture closure of ventricular septal defect, 12 pericardial patch graft for infundibular stenosis of right ventricle, one anastomosis between left superior vena cava and right atrium, 2 open mitral commissurotomy, 5 mitral valve replacement using Starr-Edward`s ball valve, porcine xenograft by Hancock, by Carpentier-Edward, or Angell-Shiley, one removal of left atrial myxoma, and a repair of ruptured aneurysm of Valsalva`s sinus. Four [9.7%] out 41 cases expired postoperatively and the rest of 37 cases survived with satisfactory results. The causes of death were one coronary embolism in tetralogy of Fallot, 2 postoperative lower cardiac output in atypical multiple anomalies, and one right heart failure in large: ventricular septal defect with pulmonary hypertension.

Thromboembolism is a major cause of morbidity and death following implantation of cardiac prosthetic devices. Effective systemic anticoagulation is very important. The presence of thrombus can often be detected by pulmonary edema associated with the disappearance of valve clicks. 2-D echocardiography and phonocardiography are also valuable tools. The most common treatment is reoperation and replacement after discovery early. We have experienced one death of fatal thromboembolism after St. Jude valve replacement was done in 48 years old male diagnosed of severe mitral stenosis. He was treated with warfarin, aspirin, ticlopidine for 10 weeks but died suddenly. At autopsy, valve dysfunction was seen due to organic thrombus arising from atrial septum and confirmed with microscopic findings.

Supravalvular aortic stenosis may be defined as an obstructive congenital deformity of the ascending aorta which originates just distal to the level of the origins of the coronary arteries It may be localized or diffuse. Enlargement of the aorta with a diamond-shaped patch of the noncoronary sinus of Valsalva was reported in 1961 by McGoon and associates But this reconstruction is asymmetric and the aortic obstruction may remain. In 1977, Dotty and associates reported the extended aortoplasty, the supravalvular ring was incised at two points in the noncoronary and in the right coronary sinuses of Valsalva closed with a tubular Dacron prosthesis of inverted Y-shape tailored to reconstruct the aorta We experienced three cases of the supravalvular aortic stenosis. The 11-year-old female and 4-year-old male with localized supravalvular aortic stenosis in William`s syndrome were operated with an inverted Y-shaped aortotomy toward the non-coronary sinus and the right coronary sinus and closed with "Hemashield`s collagen impregnated Dacron" tube graft, fashioned into "pantaloon" form patch. The 12-year-old male with localized supravalvular aortic stenosis and mitral insufficiency in William`s syndrome were operated with same procedure as two other patient above-mentioned for relief of supravalvular aortic stenosis and with mitral valve replacement. Postoperative course has been good.ourse has been good.

Duran ring을 이용하여 승모판막륜 성형술을 시행 받은 두 명의 소아 환자에서 술 후 8년과 5년 뒤에 판누스와 환자의 성장에 기인한 승모판협착이 발생하였다. 판누스와 Duran ring을 제거함으로써 승모판협착증은 호전되었다. 비록 어른에서 사용되는 충분한 크기의 판막륜 성형링이 사용되더라도 성장하는 소아에서는 시간이 지남에 따라 협착이 발생할 수 있다.

Patients who have undergone mechanical valve replacement require anticoagulation therapy with warfarin to prevent thromboembolism. However, administering warfarin to pregnant patients increases their risk of warfarin embryopathy or central nervous system disorders. Consequently, safer alternatives, such as heparin or low-molecular-weight heparin injection, are substituted for warfarin. However, limited research has been conducted on this subject, with no large-scale studies and particularly few investigations involving multiparous patients. A patient who had previously undergone mechanical mitral valve replacement for atrial septal defect and mitral stenosis received anticoagulant therapy with enoxaparin during 2 pregnancies. Upon confirmation of pregnancy, warfarin was replaced with subcutaneously injected enoxaparin with a dosage of 1 mg/kg at 12-hour intervals. The enoxaparin dosage was controlled using an anti-factor Xa assay, with a target range of 0.3-0.7 IU/mL. Intravenous heparin injections were administered starting 3 days prior to the expected delivery date and were continued until delivery, after which warfarin was resumed. No complications were observed during the deliveries.

1983년 7월부터 1995년 6월까지 전북대학교병원 흉부외과학 교실에서 승모판협착증으로 수술을 시행한 판막치환술 62예와 교련절개술 33예를 패상으로 하였다. 대동맥 판막이나 관상동맥 질환을 동반하거나 중등도 이상의 승모판 폐쇄부전증이 동반된 경우는 본 연구에서 제외하였으며 승모판 협착증에 대한 술식들을 합병증과 재수술, 사망율, 수술후 기능적인 변화에 따라 비교 분석 하였다. 수술전 대상환자의 특성 중 승모판 치환술군에서 심흉곽비가높았던 점 이외에 나이나 성별, NYHA 기능분류, 심전도상 심방세동의 유무, 심초음파 소견에서 두군 간에 의의 있는 차이는 없었다. 수술시 판막 병변의 병리학적 소견은 치환술군에서 더 심하였고(Sellors type IR, 35 in MVR, 1) in OMC 3 판엽의 석회화를 보이는 경우도 많았으나(35 in MVR, 11 in OMC), 판엽의 석 회화가 있었던 46 예 중 11예(23.9%)와 Sellor의 제3형 협착 61예 중 13예(27.1 %)에서 교련절개 술이 가능하였다. 수술후 조기 및 만기사망과 생존율에서 두군 간에 차이는 없었고, 출혈 및 혈전색전증과관련된 조기 및 만기 합병증이 치환술군에서 더 많았으며, 수술후 중장기 추적관찰시 N HA기능분류, EKG, 심흉 곽비, 심초음파 소견(EF, LAD, LWDs, LWDd) 등의 기능상의 변화에서는 두군간에 의의있는 차이를 발견할 수 없었다. 승모판 헙착증의 상호 보완적인 주요술식인 치환술과 교련절개술은 술식에 따른 기능상의 변화와 사망 및 생존율에 의의있는 차이는 없으나 출혈 및 혈전색전증과 관련된 합병증이 치환술군에서 많았고 고도의 협착 및 판막석회화가 존재하는 상황에서도 교련절개술이 가능하였으므로 자연판막의 보전을 위한 노력은 지속되어야 한다.

표준형 이오네스큐우심낭판막의 일차성 조직실패상의 특징의 일부를 알아보고져 승모판위치에서 각 각 행콕판막을 적출하였던 56례와 표준형 이오네스큐판막을 적출하였던 연속적 전례인 일차성 조직실 패환자 113례를 대상으로 임상 및 병리학적으로 분석 검토하였다. 양 환자군의 수술당시의 연령은 각각 31.9$\pm$9.2세와 30.4$\pm$ 12.5세였다. 행콕판막은 조직손상으로 인 한 판막폐쇄부전이 빈발한 반면 이오네스큐판막은 석회화변성의 빈도가 높고 협착병변인 경향이 우세 하였다. 판막적출기간은 행콕판막에서보다 이오네스큐판막에서 단축되 었다. 이러한 판막실패의 특징은 판막구조설계의 개선으로 기계적 요소로 인한 판막실패를 감소할 수 있을 것으로 보이나 항광물화상의 개선 없이는 조직판막의 내구성의 개선은 곤난할 것임을 시사하였다.
