본 서울중앙병원에서는 1991년 5월에서 1995년 9월까지 심근경색후 합병된 심실중격결손증 7례 환자의 수술을 시행 하였다. 남자환자가 2명, 여자환자가 5명 이었으며, 평균연령은 65세 (범위 : 54~76)였다. 심실중격결손의 위치는 전중격 결손이 6명이 었으며, 전후중격 경계부 심실중격결손이 1명 있었다. 모든 환자에서 술전 심초음파와 심혈관조영술을 시행하여 심실기능과 관상동맥 병변의 위치를 파악하였다. 수술은 심근괴사후 평균 24 $\pm$ 12일 후에 시행하였다. 좌심실 심근괴사 조직을 통하여 Teflon patch로 봉합하였고, 추가적인 수술로 3명 환자에서는 관상동맥 우회 술을 시행하였고, 5명 환자에서 심실류 제거술을 시행하였으며, 1명 환자에서 좌심실혈전 제거술을 시행하였다. 심실중격결손의 봉합시 중격근육전층을 통하여 interuptted pledget 봉합함으로써 심실중격 결손 재발을 막으려고 노력하였으며, 수술후 합병증으로는 폐렴 1명, 좌측대퇴부 피부괴사 1명이 있었다. 조기 사망률은 없었고 외국으로 이민간 1명을 제외하고 6명 모두 수술후 3개월에서 63개월 사이(평균28개월)에 추적 조사상 합병증이나 사망 없이 NYHA I-II상태로 생활하고 있다.

We experienced a rare case of traumatic ventricular septal defect by penetrating stab injury The patient was 26-year-old women who got stab wound at the left anterior third intercostal space and left sternal border with a knife. seven hours after admission, the patient was undertaken an emergency thoracotomy due to hypovolemic shock caused by massive bleeding from transected left internal mammary artery, vein, and right ventricular outflow tract. On postoperative second day, the patient was suffered from moderate dyspnea, and arterial blood gas analysis and chest X-ray revealed hypoxemia and pulmonary edema. Right heart cardiac catheterization with Swan-Ganz Cathater showed oxygen step-up between right atrium and main pulmonary artery and a 1.6:1 ratio of pulmonary to systemic blood flow. At operation, harsh systolic thrill was palpable along right ventricular outflow tract. Through small vertical right ventriculotomy, the linear ventricular septal laceration on infundibular septum was noticed, and its size was 1.5cm with sharp margin This defeat was repaired by three interrupted matress sutures using Prolene 4-O with pledget. Her postoperative course was uneventful, and she discharged with good physical condition.

Congenital aneurysm of sinus of Valsalva is one of the rare congenital heart disease, which is usually asymptomatic until rupture. The aneurysm usually ruptures into a cardiac chamber and produces an aorto-intracardiac fistula. Ruptured aneurysm is a grave lesion in that it causes heart failure and subsequent death. If, however, it is discovered in its early stages and operated on properly, it can be corrected with considerable success. Form January 1975 through December 1984, 18 consecutive patients with congenital aneurysm of sinus of Valsalva underwent corrective surgery using total cardiopulmonary bypass in our department of Thoracic Surgery. 1. The incidence was about 0.9% of surgical cases of congenital heart disease during that period. 2. 13 were males and 5 females, with ages ranging 12 years to 52 years. 3. Associated anomalies were VSD in 14, infundibular PS in 1, aberrant muscle band in RVOT in 1, and secondary aortic insufficiency in 9. 4. 17 were suggested to arise from right coronary sinus and 1 from noncoronary sinus; Among 17, 12 ruptured into right ventricle, and one from noncoronary sinus into right atrium. 5. Surgical correction was performed by means of direct suture closure with combined pledget or patch graft after aneurysm resection, and associated lesions were also corrected simultaneously. 6. There was only one case of operative mortality, and all the other patients were relatively uneventful in their follow-up studies.

The purpose of this paper is to present author's experience with 6 cases of ruptured aneurysm of sinus of Valsalva which were treated surgically during last 10 years. Among the 6 cases, 5 were male and one was female. All of them originated from the right coronary sinus and 5 cases were ruptured into the RV while remained one into RA. The diagnosis was obtained in 4 cases by cineangiocardiogram. Clinically, we had difficulties in differential diagnosis with combined cases of VSD with A.I. and had special experience in its differentiation during cardiac catheterization. By simultaneous trans-venous and trans-arterial catheterization, identified two catheter tips in the RV, and pull back tracing obtained aortic pressure directly from RV, and RA from RV pressure which were benefit in confirm ruptured aneurysm of the aortic sinus. Surgical correction was performed by means of direct suture closure or combined Teflon pledget Of patch enforcement graft after aneurysm resection by trans-RA or trans-RV approach. All patients had no history of bacterial endocarditis, syphilis, or tuberculosis and operative findings revealed intact coronary sinus except involved one moreover 3 cases combined with high VSD which uggested congenital in origin although pathologic reports revealed only fibrosis. Post-operative course were uneventful in all cases but one who had bleeding and 2 months to 9 years follow up results were good and spend their usual life in all cases.

Endocardial cushion defects is a rare congenital heart disease. We experienced two complete endocardial cushion defects[ECD] and three partial ones, which were successfully repaired between 1986 and 1987. In a patient of complete ECD, associated with secundum ASD, Pulmonary stenosis and Down`s syndrome, the atrial and ventricular septal defects were closed separately with bovine pericardium and Dacron patches respectively, and then pulmonary stenosis was relieved by transannular patch widening in addition to valvotomy and infundibulectomy. In another patient with complete ECD, small interventricular communication was closed with simple suture with pledget and primum ASD was closed with pericardial patch. In first patient of partial ECD, primum atrial septal defect was closed with pericardial patch. In second patient of partial ECD, associated with secundum ASD, direct closure of secundum ASD and patch closure of primum ASD were performed. In third patient of partial ECD, associated with patent foramen ovale[PFO], primum ASD was closed with bovine pericardial patch and PFO was closed directly. In all patient except third patient of partial ECD, mitral clefts were closed with three or four 5-0 prolene interrupted sutures. Transient A-V dissociation developed postoperatively in two patients and transient nodal rhythm developed postoperatively in other two patients. Heart failure in complete ECD with Down`s syndrome was overcome with medical treatment.

1994년 4월부터 1995년 3월까지 승모판폐쇄부전 환자 6명에서 확장성 polytetrafluoroethylene을 사용하여 건삭재건 수술술기인 새로운 건삭형성술을 이용하여 승모판 재건을 시도하였다. 승모판 폐쇄부전의 원인으로는 3명에서 전첨탈출(anterior leaflet prolapse), 나머지 3명은 양첨탈출(both leaflet prolapse)이었다. 6례 환자의 평균연령은 65세(범위 55∼75)였으며, 남성 3명, 여성 3명이었다. 수술 사망례는 없었고, 수술후 합병증 없이 퇴원하여 현재 관찰중이다.

Background: The continuous suture (CS) technique has several advantages as a method for simple, fast, and secure aortic valve replacement (AVR). We used a simple CS technique without the use of a pledget for AVR and evaluated the surgical outcomes. Materials and Methods: Between October 2007 and 2012, 123 patients with aortic valve disease underwent AVR alone (n=28) or with other concomitant cardiac procedures (n=95), such as mitral, tricuspid, or aortic surgery. The patients were divided into two groups: the interrupted suture (IS) group (n=47), in which the conventional IS technique was used, and the CS group (n=76), in which the simple CS technique was used. Results: There were two hospital deaths (1.6%), which were not related to the suture technique. There were no significant differences in cardiopulmonary bypass time or aortic cross-clamp time between the two groups for AVR alone or AVR with concomitant cardiac procedures. In the IS group, two patients had prosthetic endocarditis and one patient experienced significant perivalvular leak. These patients underwent reoperations. In the CS group, there were no complications related to the surgery. Postoperatively, the two groups had similar aortic valve gradients. Conclusion: The simple CS method is useful and secure for AVR in patients with aortic valve disease, and it may minimize surgical complications, as neither pledgets nor braided sutures are used.

교련부 분리는 대동맥판막 탈출증에 의한 대동맥판 역류를 일으키는 매우 드문 질환이다. 판막엽의 손상 없이 교련부 분리(avulsion of commissure)에 의해 발생한 중증 대동맥판 역류 2예를 치험하여 보고하고자 한다. 첫 번째 증례에서 교련부 분리에 의한 중증 대동맥판 역류에 대해 5-0 polypropylene으로 연속 봉합하여 교련부 재부착을 통한 성형술을 시행하였다. 수술 소견에서 판막엽은 정상 이었으나 우관상동맥판과 무관상동맥판 사이의 교련부 분리에 의한 중증 역류가 관찰되었다. 수술 후 특별한 문제 없이 회복하던 환자는 대동맥판 역류의 재발이 관찰되어, 술 후 14일째에 재수술을 시행하였고, 재부착을 시행했던 교련부위가 완전히 재분리 되어 있어, 판막 치환술을 시행하였다. 두 번째 증례도 우관상동맥판과 무관상동맥판 사이의 교련부 분리가 관찰되었으며 판막엽은 정상소견이었다. Pledget으로 보강한 5-0 polypropylene을 이용한 다수의 수평매트리스봉합으로 교련부 재부착을 시도하였으나 판막의 교합이 완벽하지 않아 조직판막으로 치환술을 시행하였다.
