To improve the prognosis of mitral valve replacement surgery, analysis and evaluation of pre and intra operative risk factors will be very much valuable. Author studied 205 cases of mitral valve replacement from Feb 1982 to June 1989 for the risk factors of hospital death. 90 patients were male and 115 were female, and age was from 16 to 59 years, Mitral stenosis dominant lesions were 91 cases and regurgitation 114. Suspected risk factors were NYHA functional class, cardiothoracic ratio, implanted valve type and size, operation time, age and sex, thrombus in left atrium, atrial fibrillation, aortic cross clamping time, left ventricular end diastolic and systolic dimension, nephropathy, hepatopathy and respiratory insufficiency. Statistic analysis was performed by X2 test between survivors and death group. Statistical significances as pre and intraoperative risk factors of hospital death after mitral valve replacement were confirmed in those presence of AF on the EKG, NYHA functional class[>IV], cardiothoracic ratio[>70%], and implanted valve size[>33mm]

Fifty seven patients underwent repair of a partial atrioventricular septal defect from January 1980 to December 1986. The ostium primum atrial septal defect was closed with autologous or bovine pericardium. The cleft in the anterior mitral leaflet was present in 53 cases, absent in 4 cases. Of the 53 cases with a cleft in the anterior mitral leaflet, 48 received suture repair of the cleft, 3 received mitral valve replacement. There was no hospital death and all the patients were followed-up for a mean period of 26.4 months. Four required permanent pacemaker implantation due to complete heart block, and one of them died of sudden malfunction of pacemaker. Two received reoperation due to significant residual mitral insufficiency. Suture repair of the cleft in the anterior mitral leaflet resulted in significant decrease in degree of mitral regurgitation. During follow-up period 49 patients were in NYHA class I, 7 patients were in NYHA class II. This report suggests that excellent result can be achieved from repair of the partial atrioventricular septal defect by managing the left A-V valve as a bileaflet structure.

In the department of chest surgery of WonKwang university hospital, mechanical valve replacement was performed in 51 cases from June 1985 to September 1987. Among these, 32 cases were mitral valve replacement, 4 cases were aortic valve replacement, and 15 cases were double valve replacement. 26 cases were male and 25 cases were female and age distribution ranged from 16 years old to 63 years old. Early death within 30 days after operation was 2 cases [3.9%] and causes of death were right heart failure [1] and right ventricular wall rupture [1]. Among 49 early survivors, 2 cases of late death were developed and the causes of death were cardiomyopathy [1] and ventricular arrhythmia [1] Anticoagulant therapy was done with warfarin sodium to the level of 1.5-2 times of normal prothrombin time [20-40%] in 47 survivors. Symptomatically, 93.6% of preoperative NYHA functional class III or IV were converted to the NYHA functional class I or II during follow up.

Mitral and aortic valve replacement with tricuspid annuloplasty was undertaken in 5 patients out of 38 valvular surgery between the period from Jan. 1977 to May 1979 in the Dept. of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery in Korea University Hospital. All were male patients with age ranging from 18 to 42 years, and preoperative evaluation revealed one case in Class IV, and four cases in Class III according to the classification of NYHA. Preoperative diagnosis was confirmed by routine cardiac study including retrograde aorto- and left ventriculography, and there were two cases with MSi+ASi+Ti, two cases with MSi+Ai+Ti, and one case with Mi+Ai+Ti. Double valve replacement was performed under the hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass with total pump time of 247 min. in average ranging from 206 min. to 268 min. During aortic valve replacement, left coronary perfusion was done in the first two cases, and cardiac arrest with cardioplegic solution proposed by Bretschneider was applied in the remained three cases. Starr-Edwards, Bjork-Shiley prosthetic valves and Carpentier-Edwards tissue valve were replaced in the aortic area, and Carpentier-Edwards and Angell-Shiley tissue valves were replaced in the mitral area with each individual combination [three prosthetic and two tissue valves in the aortic, and five tissue valves in the mitral area respectively]. Postoperative recovery was uneventful in all cases except one case with hemopericardium, which was managed with pericardiectomy on the postoperative 10th day in good result. Follow-up after double valve replacement of the all five cases for the period from 6 months to 33 months revealed satisfactory adaptation in social activity and occupation with cardiac function of Class I according to the classification of NYHA In all five cases.

인제대학교 부산백병원 흉부외과학교실에서는 1985년 10월부터 1996년 7월까지 약 10년간 총 124례의 중복판막수술을 받은 환자를 대상으로 성별, 나이, 술전 X-선 심흉곽비, 심도자검사상의 평균폐동맥압, 술전 심장초음파 검사상 좌심실구출률, 술전 NYHA 기능분류등급, 치환한 판막의 수, 대동맥차단시간과 총체외순환시간, 술후 중한 합병증 발생 및 조기사망 유무를 조사하고 수술후 조기성적에 영향을 미치는 인자들을 분석하였다. 환자중 남자가 53례, 여자가 71례로 성비는 1:1.4 였으며, 술전 임상증상으로 NYHA 기능분류상 등급 I이 3명(2.4%), 등급 II가 41명(33.1%), 등급 III가 60명(48.4%), 등급 IV가 20명(16.1%)이었고 심전도검사상 술전 심방세동이 76명(61.3%), 술전 뇌색전증 병력이 5례(4.0%), 이전에 심장수술을 받은 경우가 7례(5.7%)였다. 술후 조기사망률은 8.1%, 술후 중한 합병증 발생율은 21.8%였다. 판막수술은 승모판막과 대동맥판막을 동시에 치환한 례(57례), 승모판막치환과 삼첨판륜성형술을 한 례(48례), 승모판막과 삼첨판막을 동시 치환한 례(2례), 그리고 승모판막치환과 대동맥판막성형술을 한 례(3례)등이 있었다. 수술후 조기 임상경과에 따라 사망례를 포함한 중한 합병증을 동반한 군(A군, 27례)과 특별한 문제가 없었던 군(B군, 97례)으로 분류하고, 또 조기사망군(10례)과 생존군(114례)으로 분류하여 각각의 분류군간에 통계적으로 유의한 위험인자들이 있는지 분석하였다. A군에서 발생한 중한 합병증은 저심박출증, 종격동염, 심장파열, 심실부정맥, 패혈증 등이었다. A군과 B군의 비교에서는 대동맥차단시간(A군:153.4$\pm$42.4분, B군:134.0$\pm$43.7, p=0.042), 총체외순환시간(A군:187.4$\pm$65.5분, B군:158.1$\pm$50.6분, p=0.038), 그리고 NYHA 기능분류등급(I등급:33.3%, II등급:9.7%, III등급:20.0%, IV등급:50.0%, p=0.004)에서 유의한 차이가 있었다. 술후 조기사망군(10례)과 생존군(114례)의 비교에서는 연령(사망군:45.2$\pm$8.7세, 생존군:37.2$\pm$11.6세, p=0.036), 성별(여자:12.7%, 남자:1.9%, p=0.043), 대동맥차단시간(사망군:167.1$\pm$38.4분, 생존군:135.7$\pm$43.7분 p=0.030), 그리고 술전 NYHA 기능분류등급(I등급:0%, II등급:4.9%, III등급:1.7%, IV등급:35.0%, p=0.001)에서 유의한 차이가 있었다. 이상으로 볼 때 NYHA 기능분류에서 술전의 임상상태가 중할수록 조기성적에 나쁜 영향을 미치므로 환자의 증상이 악화되기 전에 조기수술이 요망되며, 개선된 수술수기나 심근보호방법등으로 대동맥차단시간과 총체외순환시간을 효율적으로 줄일수 있다면 중복판막수술후 조기성적을 향상시킬 것으로 사료된다.
