Dissecting aortic aneurysm of ascending aorta is a life threatening condition which requires prompt surgical correction. With deep hypothermic circulatory arrest and retrograde cerebral perfusion via superior vena cava, we could replaced ascending aorta in 4 cases safely. All of 4 cases; femoral artery, right auricle were used as cannulation site. The duration of circulatory arrest were 28, 30, 45, 60 minute in each cases and rectal temperature was 2$0^{\circ}C$ at that time. At the time of retrograde cerebral perfusion, we maintained central venous pressure under 25mmHg. We resected all of dissecting portion and replaced it with Hemashield graft. There were no deaths but two of four reoperated because of bleeding.

During aortic valve surgery, cardioplegic solution is delivered through direct cannulation of both coronary ostia. Since this approach may cause an intimal injury leading to acute dissection or late ostial stenosis, this study was undertaken to evaluate myocardial protective effect of retrograde perfusion of cardioplegia [RCSP <% RRAP] in 18 clinical cases, which were compared with antegrade perfusion of cardioplegia in 27 clinical cases. This study were investigated 1] cease and return of electromechanical activity after cardioplegia infusion 2] the myocardial temperature during operation 3] the aortic cross clamping time and total bypass time 4] frequency of DC shock for defibrillation 5] need for inotropic drugs after operation 6] electrocardiographic evidence of myocardial infarction or ventricular arrhythmia after operation 7] the enzymes activity during preoperative and postoperative period as an evaluation of myocardial ischemic injury and 8] operative mortality rate The combination of retrograde cardioplegia and topical cooling with ice slush yielded promptly hypothermia of myocardium and shorter aortic cross-clamping time compared with antegrade cardioplegia [P < 0.05]. The temperature of the interventricular septum was maintained below 20oC by continuous perfusion or intermittent perfusion of cold blood cardioplegia and other results were no statistically significant difference between the two methods [P >0.05]. This technique provides clear operative field and avoids some serious complications which are caused by coronary ostial cannulation. These results suggested that the retrograde perfusion of cardioplegia is a simple, safe, and effective means of myocardial protection during open heart surgery.

초저체온 하에 체외순환정지와 역행성 뇌관류는 대동맥궁 병변의 수술에서 뇌손상을 피하기 위해서 흔히 이용되는 수술과정이다. 좌측 개흉으로 원위 대동맥궁과 하행대동맥 병변을 수술할 때 역행성 뇌관류를 상대정맥으로 시행하기 어려울 경우 대퇴정맥에서 우심방으로 넣은 정맥 캐뉼라를 통해 전신정맥 관류를 시행하여 역행성 뇌관류(우심방-역행성 뇌관류)를 시행하는 것이 더 쉬운 방법일 수 있다 이러한 역행성 뇌관류 방법의 안전한 시간은 명확하지 않다. 저자들은 94분의 우심방-역행성 뇌관류 하에 대동맥궁 하행대동맥 병변을 수술하여 신경학적 이상 없이 환자를 회복시킬 수 있었다. 이 결과에서 초저체온의 순환정지 상태에서 90분 이상의 우심방-역행성 뇌관류로 뇌의 허혈을 극복할 수 있다고 생각된다.

Surgical treatment of aneurysm or dissection involving the ascending aorta and aortic arch still poses one of the most complicated technical and tactical challenges in surgery. The use of total circulatory arrest[TCA] with profound hypothermia in the surgical treatment of aneurysmal dissection involving the ascending aorta and aortic arch has been reported as popular surgical methods. However, the safe period of prolonged circulatory arrest with hypothermia remains controversial and ischemic damage to the central nervous system and uncontrollable perioperative bleeding have been the major problem. We have found profound hypothermic circulatory arrest with retrograde cerebral perfusion via the superior vena cava to achieve cerebral protection. We experiment the aortic anastomosis in 7 adult mongrel dogs, using profound hypothermic circulatory arrest with continuous retrograde cerebral perfusion[RGCP] via superior vena cava. We also studied the extent of cerebral protection using above surgical methods, by gas analysis of retrograde cerebral perfusion blood and returned blood of aortic arch, preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative electroencephalography and microscopic findings of brain tissue. The results were as follows: 1. The cooling time ranged from 15 minutes to 24 minutes[19.71$\pm$ 3.20 minutes] ; Aorta cross clamp time ranged from 70 minutes to 89 minutes[79.86 $\pm$ 7.54 minutes] ; Rewarming time ranged from 35 minutes to 47 minutes[42.86$\pm$ 4.30 minutes] ; The extracorporeal circulation time ranged from 118 minutes to 140 minutes[128.43$\pm$ 8.98 minutes] [Table 2]. 2. The oxygen content in the oxygenated blood after RGCP was 12.66$\pm$ 1.25 ml/dl. At 5 minutes after the initiation of RGCP, the oxygen content of returnedlood was 7.58$\pm$ 0.21 ml/dl, and at 15 minutes 7.35$\pm$ 0.17 ml/dl, at 30 minutes 7.20$\pm$ 0.19 ml/dl, at 60 minutes 6.63$\pm$ 0.14 ml/dl [Table 3]. 3. Intraoperative electroencephalographic finding revealed low amplitude potential during hypothermia, and no electrical impulse throughout the period of circulatory arrest and RGCP. Electrical activity appeared after reperfusion, and the electroencephalographic reading also recovered rapidly as body temperature returned to normal [Fig. 2]. 4. The microscopic finding of brain tissue showed widening of the interfibrillar spaces. But there was no evidence of tissue necrosis or hemorrhage [Fig. 3]. We concluded the retrograde cerebral perfusion during hypothermic circulatory arrest is a simplified technique that may have a excellent brain protection.

The quantitatively measured local myocardial perfusion rates with microspheres are used as an objective indicator of even distribution of cardioplegic solution, and the efficacy of the retrograde right atrial route of cardioplegia is evaluated in hearts with various levels of coronary arterial obstruction. After initial antegrade cardioplegia under the median sternotomy and aortic cannulation, 60 hearts from anesthetized New Zealand white rabbits are divided in random order as normal group [ligated left main coronary artery ; MA, MR] and diagonal group [ligated proximal diagonal artery ; LA, LR]. Half of each group [N=10] are perfused with antegrade cardioplegia[A] under the pressure of 100 cmH2O and the other half with retrograde right atrial route[R] under the pressure of 60 cmH2O[St. Thomas cardioplegic solution mixed with measured amount of microspheres]. The myocardium is subdivided into segments as A[atria], RV[right ventricle]. S[septum], LV[normally perfused left ventricular free wall], ROI[ischemic myocardium of left ventricular free wall]. LV and RQI are further divided into N[subendocardium] and P[subepicardium]. The resulting local myocardial perfusion rates and N /P of each group are compared with Wilcoxon rank sum test. The weight of the hearts is 5.94$\pm$0.66g, and there are no statistically significant dif-ferences[p>0.05, ANOVA] between six compared group. The mean flow rate[F: ml /g / min] of MR group is comparable with MA group[p>0.05], but in N and L group, there are significantly depressed F with right atrial route of cardioplegia, which means elevated perfusion resistance with this route. In spite of no significant differences in delivered doses of microsphere[DEL] between compared groups[p>0.05, ANOVA], there are significantly depressed REC and NF in hearts with right atrial cardioplegia which suggests increased requirement of cardioplegic solution with this route. The interventricular septum shows poor perfusion with right atrial route of cardioplegia without obstruction of supplying coronary arteries. But, with obstruction of coronary artery supplying septum as in M group, the flow rate is superior with right atrial route of infusion. The left ventricular free wall perfusion rates of every RQI with R route are superior to that of A route[p<0.05]. But, in LV segments, there are unfavorable effects of right atrial cardioplegia in L group, although the subendocardial perfusion is well maintained in N group. The LV free wall of left main group shows depressed perfusion rates with antegrade route as compared with RQI segments of diagonal group. But, by contraries, there are increased perfusion rates and superior N /P ratio with retrograde right atrial route. It implies more effective perfusion with right atrial route of cardioplegia in more proximal coronary arterial obstruction[i.e., M group as compared with L group]. As a conclusion, all region of ischemia have superior perfusion rates with right atrial car-dioplegia as compared with antegrade route, and especially excellent results can be obtained in hearts with more proximal obstruction of coronary arteries which would otherwise result in more severe ischemic damage. But, the depressed perfusion rates of the segments with normal coronary artery in hearts with coronary arterial obstruction may be a problem of concern with right atrial cardioplegia and needs solution.

Massive air embolism during cardiopulmonary bypass is uncommon but serious and often lethal complication. Following this catastrophic event, the immediate institution of retrograde arterial blood perfusion via superior vena cava was made to remove air emboli from cerebral circulation. This method was performed by removing the arterial perfusion line from aortic cannula and connecting it to superior vena caval cannula. Then, retrograde perfusion at a flow rate of 2Umin via superior vena cava was carried out for 3 minutes. After air returning from the aortic cannula was identified, each line was connected to the cannulae primarily. In 2 cases who had massive air emboli due to air pumping into arterial line, the postoperative complete recovery resulted from this technique, which was used in conjunction with other therapy postoperatively.

This study was undertaken to evaluate the efficacies for myocardial protective effect of retrograde right atrial perfusion [RRAP] of cardioplegia compared with antegrade aortic root perfusion [AARP]. Myocardial distribution of perfusate [using methylene blue] with RRAP was less poor to AARP. Myocardial protective effect was estimated with myocardial temperature and electron microscopy. Cooling protection of right ventricle with RRAP was similar to AARP. On the other hand, cooling protection of left ventricle with RRAP was slight poor to AARP. The electron microscopic ischemic change of right and left ventricle with RRAP was similar to AARP. RRAP was thought to be a good alternative method to perfuse cardioplegia and protect both ventricle.

배경: 급성 대동맥 박리증 중 대동맥궁의 박리 및 수술을 요하는 경우 진단, 수술방법, 수술결과에 있어 차이가 있을 수 있다. 대동맥궁의 박리를 교정하기 위해서 저체온 순환정지하에서 뇌관류를 시행한다. 대동맥궁의 수술이 필요한 대동맥 박리증에서 역행성 뇌관류에 의한 수술결과를 조사하고 그 안정성을 알아보았다. 대상 및 방법: 1996년 1월부터 2002년 6월까지 대동맥궁을 침범한 급성대동맥 박리증의 수술 환자 22예를 대상으로 하였다. 22예 중 20예에서 저체온 순환정지 하에 역행성 뇌관류를 시행하였다. 역행성 뇌관류를 시행한 20예 중 19예에서는 상대정맥을 통해 뇌관류를 시행하였고 1예에서는 상대정맥의 접근이 어려워 역행성 체정맥 관류를 시행하였다. 직장온도 16∼18도에서 순환정지를 시행했고 역행성 관류압 20∼30 mmHg에서 평균 관류량은 분당 481.1$\pm$292.9 $m\ell$이었다. 결과: 병원사망은 2예(9.1%)였으며 만기사망은 1예(4.5%)였다. 평균 순환정지(역행성 뇌관류) 시간은 54.0$\pm$13.4분(범위, 7∼145분)이었다 역행성 뇌관류 시간은 의식 및 지남력 회복, 호흡기 탈거 시간과 상관관계가 없었고(각각 p=0.35, 0.86, 0.92), 의식출현과 지남력 회복이 빠른 환자에서 호흡기 탈거도 빨랐다(각각 r=0.850, r=926; p=0.000). 70분 이상의 역행성 뇌관류가 의식출현, 지남력 회복, 호흡기 탈거 시간, 운동력회복 및 입원기간에 영향을 주지 않았다(각각 p=0.42, 0.57, 0.60, 0.83, 0.51). 결론: 저체온 순환정지하에 역행성 뇌관류로써 대동맥궁을 포함한 대동맥박리증 수술 시 뇌관류 시간은 의식회복과 호흡기 탈거, 신경학적 합병증, 수술 후 회복기간에 영향을 주지 않는다고 생각된다.

The Increasing use of coronary perfusates for the protection of the human heart during ischemic cardiac arrest has placed great emphasis on the need for a rational and safe formulation. For the purpose of this study isolated rat hearts were connected to retrograde nonworking perfusion system proposed by Langendorff, and then perfused for 20 minutes by coronary infusates of magnesium concentration of 1.66 m Mol per liter(group A, n: 10) or 15mMo1 per liter(group B, n: 10). After 20 minutes perfusion, cold cardioplegic solution (modified St. Thomas'Hospital solution) was infused for 2 minutes, and prepared within 4$^{\circ}C$ Krebs-Henseleit solution. Finally, 20 minutes of cononay reprsfuslon was reestablished after I hour of cold ischemic cardiac arrest. Hemodynamic parameters (heart rate, left ventricular pressure, $\pm$ dp/dt max. and coronany flow) and enzymes assay (creatine phosphokinase, lactic dehydrogenase and flutamic oxaloacetic transaminase) were performed each other at whic rat heart was perfused for 20 minutes and reperfused for 20 minutes thereafter. There were significant differences in the recovery rate of heart rate, systolic left ventricular pressure, + dp/dt max, and coronary flow and reperfusion-perfusion ratio of creatine phosphokinase(P < 0.05). But, there were no signicant differences in the recovery rate of dp/dt max, and reperfunion-perfusion ratio of lactic dehydrogenase and glutamic oxaloacetic acid (P > 0.05).

대동맥 박리에서 완전 순환 정지 하에 대동맥 궁의 확인 및 치환이 필요한 경우가 많다. 이런 경우 뇌의 보호를 위해 역행성 뇌 관류 또는 전방성 뇌 관류를 사용하게 된다. 최근에는 역행성 뇌관류의 한계를 극복하기 위해 전방성 뇌 관류가 보편화되고 있는 실정이다. 저자들은 이 두 가지 방법에 대해 신경학적 이상에 중점을 두고 비교하였다 대상 및 법: 2000년 5월부터 2004년 5월까지 대동맥 박리 환자 중 뇌관류를 시행한 40명을 대상으로 하였으며, 회복과정 및 신경학적 합병증에 관해 비교하였다. 결과: 동맥관 삽관은 전방성 뇌 관류군의 15예 중 10예에서 액와동맥에 시행하고, 역행성 뇌 관류군의 25예 중 24예에서 대퇴 동맥에 시행하였다. 완전 순환정지 시식도 온도와 직장 온도를 비교하여 보면, $17.2^{\circ}C,\;22.8^{\circ}C$ (전방성 뇌 관류군)와 $16.1^{\circ}C,\;19.7^{\circ}C$ (역행성 뇌 관류군)로 전방성 뇌 관류 군이 통계적으로 높게 나타났다 이는 수술시간 및 체외순환시간을 의미 있게 단축시켰다. 회복에서는 통계적 차이가 없었다. 신경학적 합병증의 발생에서도 11예와 13예로 통계적 차이가 없었다. 하지만 영구적 신경계 이상을 진단받은 각 군의 5예를 비교하여 보면, 전방성 뇌 관류군에서 영구적 신경계이상을 보인 5명의 환자 모두가 일상생활에 지장을 받지 않는 상태로 회복되었지만, 역행성 뇌 관류군에서의 5명 모두는 일상생활의 장애를 가진 채 퇴원하였다. 결론: 전방성 뇌 관류는 정방향성 혈류를 유지함으로써 중등도의 체온 저하, 수술시간 및 체외순환시간을 단축시키고 뇌의 기능을 보다 더 보호할 수 있는 것으로 생각된다. 저자들은 향후 전방성 뇌 관류법이 보다 적극적으로 사용되어져야 할 것으로 생각한다..96$이었다. 관상동맥 우회술시 다른 수술이 동반되었던 경우가 총 10예$(6.5\%)$였다. 수술 후 대동맥내 풍선펌프는 21예$(13.6\%)$에서 이용하였으나, 비체외순환하 수술에서는 4예$(5.1\%)$로 줄었으며, 전체 사망환자는 12명$(7.9\%)$이었으나, 2001년 이후에는 111예 중 5명$(4.5\%)$으로 감소하였다. 수술합병증으로 수술 전후의 심근경색증 9예$(5.8\%)$, 저심박출증 17예$(11\%)$, 부정맥 30예$(19.5\%)$등이었다. 결론: 국립의료원 흉부외과에서는 관상동맥 우회술을 시작한 이래 수술경험의 축적, 비체외순환하 관상동맥 우회술의 도입, 내흉동맥 및 요골동맥으로의 이식편 이용 변화에 따라 수술성적이 향상되었음을 알 수 있으며, 향후 더 많은 임상경험의 축적 및 장기 추적 관찰이 필요하다고 사료된다.보였으며, 난중, 난황색, 난백고 및 Haugh unit는 처리 간 차이(p>0.05)가 없었다.이고, 환자 1인당 Wedge filter의 교체작업이 $1{\sim}2$회일 때 10MV의 경우 연간선량이 $0.08{\sim}0.4mSv$로 평가되었으며, 15MV의 경우 $0.27{\sim}1.36mSv$로 평가되어 작업종사자의 연간 허용선량인 20mSv에 비해 안전한 것으로 평가되었다.서 정상조직이 적게 조사되었다. 결과 : 기존의 ICRU계획은 그 효과 및 안전성이 입증되었음에도 불구하고 CT를 이용한 CTV계획 등을 적용 한다면 잔류종양이 적은 경우 정상조직에 대한 조사를 줄이면서 잔류종양에 목표선량을 조사할 수 있을 것이다. 다만 잔류종양이
