Increased clinical interest, stimulated by newer diagnostic techniques, has made it apparent that Ebstein`s anomaly represents a spectrum of right heart abnormalities. In the usual case, the septal and posterior leaflets of the tricuspid valve are not attached to the true annulus, but are displaced distally into the ventricle. Also the degree of malattachment and the structural deformities of the cusps may vary greatly. Recently we experienced 6 cases of Ebstein`s anomaly who underwent corrective operation in our hospital. Five patients were operated by plication and annuloplasty techniques based on the construction of a monocusp valve by the use of the anterior leaflet. Remained one was operated on by tricuspid valve replacement using No 31 mm C-E tissue valve. There was no operative mortality and the postoperative courses were relatively good with marked symptom improvement.

Last year in this department 100 cases of open heart surgery were done annually. This year 200 cases of open heart surgery were scheduled. During the first 6 months of this year 112 open heart surgery cases were done with 13 deaths [11.6%]. There were 72 cases of cougenital malformation with 9 operative deaths [12.5%], consisting of 23 acyanotic cases with one death [4.5%] and 49 cases of cyanotic cases with 8 deaths [16.3%]. Out of 40 tetralogy of Fallot, 6 cases expired [15%]. For 39 cases of acquired valvular heart disease and one Ebstein anomaly valves were replaced with 4 operative deaths [10%]. Single valve replacement in 33 with 3 operative deaths and double valve replacement in 7 cases with one death were noted. Two patients expired among 28 mitral valve replacement cases [7.1%]. Among 7 double valve replacement patients, consisting of 3 mitral and aortic and 4 mitral and tricuspid valve replacement one case expired. In a case of Ebstein anomaly, tricuspid valve was replaced with plication of atrialized right ventricle successfully. The operative result was excellent.

경북대학교병원 흉부외과에서는 1984년 4월부터 1990년 4월까지 7례의 Ebsteln기형에 대해서 6례에서는 삼첨 판치 환술을, 1례에서는 Hardy 방식 의 삼첨 판륜성 형술(tricuspid annuloplasty)과 심방화된 우심실의 주름형성술(plication)을 시행하였다. 환자의 연령분포는 2세에서 46세까지 였고,술후 사망은 2례에서 있었다. 생존례는 4년이상 추적관찰시 일시적인 발작성 빈맥이 1례에서 있었으나 모두 NYHA class I-II로 별문제없이 지내고 있다.

Isolated congenital left ventricular diverticulum is a rare cardiac malformation. Here, we report the case of a 33-year-old woman who had suffered from recurrent transient ischemic attacks for 6 years. Preoperative cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography angiography revealed a diverticulum near the apex. The diverticulum was successfully obliterated by cardiopulmonary bypass. We suggest that isolated congenital left ventricular diverticulum can be easily corrected with a low surgical risk by patch repair and plication techniques.

Congenital diaphragmatic eventration is a rare disease and generally accepted as an abnormally high position of part or all of the diaphragm, usually associated with a marked decrease in muscle fibers and a membranous appearance of the abnormal area. There were 4 cases of the congenital diaphragmatic eventration at the Dept. of Thoracic Surgery, Seoul National University Hospital, from 1957 to 1977. They were two boys and two girls and ranging from 1 day to 3 years of age. They were all repaired by surgical operation and one was expired postoperatively, another one was dead one year later due to complication. The ratio between right and left was 1:3 and their symptoms were cyanosis, dyspnea and frequent respiratory disease. In physical examination there was noted decreased breathing sound on the affected lung field and bowel sound was audible in some cases. Diagnosis was done by Chest X-ray and plication of the affected diaphragm was usually done in operation. There were noted atelectasis and cystic change of the affected side lung. And the liver, colon, spleen and small intestine were found in the dome of the eventrated diaphragm.

횡격막성 내장전위는 드문 질환이며 선천적인 원인에 의한다. 저자들은 기존에 좌측 횡격막성 내장전위가 있던 상태에서 교통사고로 인한 우측 횡격막 마비가 동반되어 호흡부전에 빠진 환자에 대한 수술을 시행하였다. 본 례는 국내외 문헌에 아직 보고된 례가 없는 매우 희귀한 경우로서 횡격막 주름성형술을 시행하여 좋은 결과를 얻었기에 보고하는 바이다.

As the load density of KEPCO system is higher, the fault current can be much higher than SCC(Short Circuit Capacity) of circuit breaker. Fault current exceeding the rating of circuit breaker is a very serious problem in high density load area, which can threaten the stability of whole power system. Even though there are several alternatives to reduce fault current, as the superconductivity technology has been developed, the HTS-FCL (High Temperature Superconductivity Fault Current Limiter) can be one of the attractive alternatives to solve the fault current problem. This study presents the application plication of 154kV HTS-FCL in Korean power system.

Acute gastric volvulus is one of the most fatal complications of the eventration of diaphragm and require emergency surgical treatment unless it is possible to pass a nasogatric tube. This 10 year old female patient was admitted because of severe abdominal pain and marked abdominal distention before about 3 days. On chest P-A and plain abdomen, there were the elevation of the left hemidiaphragm and marked dilatation of stomach and the triad of symptoms emphasized by Bochdalek in 1904 was present. Emergency operation [wedge resection of necrotic area of stomach and gastropexy after gastric decompression and plication of diaphragm] was performed. The type of gastric volvulus was organo-axial rotation, in which the stomach rotated around the line that connects the cardia with the pylorus [Fig. 4].

One case of surgically treated sliding esophageal hiatal hernia associated with bleeding gastric ulcer is presented. The patient was 73 years-old woman who had suffered from epigastric heartburn, indigestion, and melena since 3 months prior to admission. Esophageal hiatal hernia was suspected on the simple chest film and the diagnosis was confirmed by tetralogic barium study of the gastrointestinal tract. Hematemesis and melena were persisted so emergent thoracotomy and abdominal exploration were undertaken. Repair of hiatal hernia by constricting suture around relaxed esophageal hiatus was made and plication sutures were Inserted between esophagogastric junction and median arcuate ligament of diaphragm. Concomittently, subtotal gastrectomy with Billroth II procedure was performed to removal of large bleeding ulcer on the lesser curvature of the stomach antrum. Postoperative course was uneventful.
