Thirty-seven patients had undergone repair of a endocardial cushion defect between 1977 and Aug. 1983 in Seoul National University Hospital. Twenty eight had a partial defect, one intermediate defect and eight complete endocardial cushion defect. Tricuspid cleft was found in 4 cases and mitral cleft was in all p-ECD. Seven patients were of type C anatomy in c-ECD. Four patients had associated major anomalies, including three TOF in c-ECD, one coarctation in p- ECD. In p-ECD patients, the septal defect was closed with patch in all cases and the atrioventricular valvular insufficiency was corrected with MVR in 4 cases, TVR in 1 case and simple interrupted sutures in remainders. In c-ECD patients the septal defect was closed with single patch except one case. The atrioventricular valve was repaired with simple interrupted sutures except one MVR and TVR case. The operative mortality was 14.2% in p-ECD, 44.4% in c-ECD, but recent 3 years [1980-1983] mortality was 8.7% in p-ECD, 20% in c-ECD. More than grade III systolic regurgitant murmur was oted postoperatively in 4 cases of c-ECD and 3 cases of p-ECD. The operative risk factors were preoperative NYHA classification, cyanosis, Rp/Rs, systolic pressure of main pulmonary artery and the degree of regurgitation of atrioventricular valves. The causes of death were low cardiac output syndromes, pulmonary complications and arrhythmias.

Sixty four children [aged 2 days to 9 years] , 58 with complete transposition of the great arteries, 5 with Taussig-Bing double outlet right ventricle, and 1 with double outlet left ventricle plus left ventricular type single ventricle, have undergone anatomic correction from November 1987 to August 1992. Eleven underwent previous operations: pulmonary artery banding[7], modified Blalock-Taussig shunt[2], coarctoplasty[2], aortic arch reconstruction[1] . Of 58 patients with TGA, Type A coronary arteries of Yacoub were seen in 50[86%]. U-shaped coroanry arterial flaps were transfered to the neoaorta using trap door technique, and neopulmonary arterial tract was constructed using glutaraldehyde fixed autopericardium with Lecompte maneuver. There were 18 hospital deaths [28.1%] with no late mortality. Mean follow-up of 20.4\ulcorner11.9 months were achieved in all survivors. Postoperative cardiac catheterizations were done in 14 cases. Mean pressure gradients of pulmonary and aortic outflow tract were 15.0 $\pm$2.6 and 4.2$\pm$1.4mmHg, mild aortic valve insufficiencies were found in 2, and mean cardiac index was 5.18$\pm$0.19 L/min/M2. We conclude that we should continue anatomic correction for the complex congenital heart anomalies with the malposition of the great arteries because myocardial function seems to be well preserved, though we are still on the learning curve.

배경 : 단심실 교정을 시행함에 있어 수술 전 위험 인자가 많지 않다고 판단되는 경우에도 수술 후 장기간의 흉관 배액, 단백 소모성 장질환, 폐혈관 색전증, 사망 등의 불량한 결과를 얻을 수 있다. 이러한 측면에서, 단심실 교정에 대한 기존의 위험 인자 분석은 수술 결과를 예측함에 있어 미흡한 점이 있다고 할 수 있다. 저자 등은 폐혈관 유순도를 새로이 정의하고, 낮은 폐혈관 유순도가 수술 후 흉관 배액 기간을 길게 한다는 가설을 세워 이를 증명하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 2002년 1월부터 2005년 5월까지 심장 외 도관을 이용한 단심실 교정을 받은 총 96 명의 환자들의 기록을 후행적으로 분석하였다. 동 기간 중 기존의 단심실 교정을 심장 외 도관으로 교체한 경우는 연구 대상에서 제외하였다. 수술 후 늑막 삼출 기간의 위험 인자 분석에는 12가지 수술 전 위험 인자들을 지수화한 Fontan risk score (FRS) 및 기타 다양한 수술 전, 수술 중 위험 인자들을 포함시켰으며, 본 연구를 위하여 전기로 analogue를 폐순환에 적용하여 계산된 폐혈관 유순도 (pulmonary vascular compliance, PVC, $mm^2/mmHg/m^2)$를 위험인자로 추가하였다. 전기 회로 analogue에 의하면 PVC는 폐동맥 지수 (pulmonary artery index, $mm^2/m^2$)를 총폐저항 (total pulmonary resistance, Wood $Unit{\cdot}m^2$) 및 폐 혈류량 (pulmonary blood flow, $L/min/m^2$) 으로 나눈 값으로 정의되며, 이는 폐혈관의 크기와 저항, 폐 혈류량 등을 동시에 고려하는 변수라고 할 수 있다. 결과 변수인 흉관 거치 기간은 자연로그를 취해 정규 분포화하고 이를 log indwelling time (LIT)으로 정의하였으며, 분석 대상 위험 인자들과 LIT 의 관계에 대한 다중 선형 회귀분석을 시행하였다. 결과 : 조기 사망은 없었고 만기 사망은 4 명 (4.2%)이었으며, 단심실 교정시 fenestration이 추가된 경우는 1예 있었다(1 %). 수술 전 PVC, 흉관 거치 기간, LIT는 각각 ${6{\sim}94.8\;mm^2/mmHg/m^2}$ (중간값:24.8), $3{\sim}268$일 ( 간값 : 20 일 ), $1.1{\sim}5.6$ ( 평균: 2.9, 표준 편차: 0.8) 이었다. 단변 수 분석상 FRS, PVC, 체외 순환시간 (CPB) 및 술 후 12 시간째의 중심 정맥압 등이 LIT와 연관되었으나, 다변수 분석상 PVC (p=0.0018) 및 CPB (p=0.0024)만이 독립적으로 LIT를 예측하였다. 두 변수는 LIT 변이에 대하여 21.7%의 설명력이 있었으며, 두 변수를 이용한 회귀 분석식은 다음과 같았다. LIT=2.74-0.0158 PVC+0.00658 CPB. 결론: 새로이 정의된 폐혈관 유순도는 심장 외 도관을 이용한 단심실 교정 후의 흉관 거치 기간을 결정하는 중요한 예측 인자로서, 수술 전 위험 인자 분석에 유용하게 사용될 수 있다.

Background and Objectives: The recent developments in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) are emphasizing the multidisciplinary team. We report on the changes in clinical practice following the development of a multidisciplinary team, based on our 7 years of experience. Methods: Multidisciplinary team was established in 2015 offering both balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) and pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) with technical upgrades by internal and external expertise. For operable cases, PEA was recommended as the primary treatment modality, followed by pulmonary angiography and right heart catheterization after 6 months to evaluate treatment effect and identify patients requiring further BPA. For patients with inoperable anatomy or high surgical risk, BPA was recommended as the initial treatment modality. Patient data and clinical outcomes were closely monitored. Results: The number of CTEPH treatments rapidly increased and postoperative survival improved after team development. Before the team, 38 patients were treated by PEA for 18 years; however, 125 patients were treated by PEA or BPA after the team for 7 years. The number of PEA performed was 64 and that of BPA 342 sessions. World Health Organization functional class I or II was achieved in 93% of patients. The patients treated with PEA was younger, male dominant, higher pulmonary artery pressure, and smaller cardiac index, than BPA-only patients. In-hospital death after PEA was only 1 case and none after BPA. Conclusions: The balanced development of BPA and PEA through a multidisciplinary team approach proved synergistic in increasing the number of actively treated CTEPH patients and improving clinical outcomes.

This is report of two cases of annular constrictive pericarditis. Since January 1959 to December 1979 the authors experienced 48 cases of chronic constrictive pericarditis treated surgically at the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, the National Medical Center in Seoul. These cases simulated valvular heart disease. One case, as mitral stenosis, revealed rumbling apical diastolic murmur [II/VI], atrial fibrillation and right ventricular hypertrophy pattern on E.C.G., the other, as infundibular pulmonic stenosis, presented pressure gradient between right ventricle and main pulmonary artery at infundibular level of 76 mmHg in systole. Both patients underwent operation successfully and one of them was assisted by E.C.C. during pericardiectomy and result was excellent. It is difficult to make the diagnosis of these conditions preoperatively so consideration about these might be important to make the diagnosis accurately.

Micro cell stimulation device is interested in many researchers because it has several advantages such as saving time and reagents. We introduce new micro-bioreactor using micro bead and conduct cell stimulation experiments to verify effective time because cell have operated by cell-cycle (G1, S, G2, and M phase). Micro-bioreactor was made by soft lithography and CAPE (calf pulmonary artery endothelial cell) was cultured in PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane) micro device for 12 hour and cell starvation process was performed for 24 hours. Micro glass beads were rolled only by slating device every hour during 15 hour because of minimizing other stimulation force like flow and pressure. The result represents that cells under exposed under micro bead stimulation show higher growth rate than normal condition and earlier and later stimulation time are more effective.

For the purpose of clinical analysis of secundum atrial septal defect, the patients with atrial septal defect operated on during the period from Aug. 1959 to Aug. 1983 were analysed. The age of the patients was ranged from 3 months to 60 years and there were 132 males [45.3%] patients and 145 female patients [54.6%] in this series. The most frequent type was oval type defect in 219 [86.9%]. The PAPVC were present in 7 patients of high defect group. Clinical analysis revealed 53 patients [19.9%] were asymptomatic. The QP/QS above than 3.61 were 45 patients and less than 1.5 were 24 patients. The pulmonary artery pressure was 10 to 100 mmHg. The majority of the defects were closed in primary suture and closed with a Dacron patch in 19 patients. The postoperative complications occurred in 35 patients [13.1%] and the most frequent complication was wound problem which was present in 10 patients. The hospital mortality rate was 1.6%.

Arterial switch operation for repair of nineteen cases of transposition of the great arteries associated with ventricular septal defect and three cases with double outlet right ventricle with subpulmonary ventricular septal defect[Taussig-Bing type DORV] was performed from November 1987 to September 1990 at the Seoul National University Children`s Hospital. Sixteen of them were under six months of age, and three were under one year of age with body weight ranged from three to fourteen kilograms. Preoperative cardiac catheterization was done in eighteen patients, in which the pressure of the left ventricle was greater than 70% of the right ventricle in all but one. Patent ductus was associated in thirteen cases[68.4%] of TGA+VSD, and atrial septal defect or patent oval foramen was in sixteen cases. Four atrial septostomy, one modified Blalock- Taussig shunt, one pulmonary artery banding, one coarctoplasty using subclavian arterial flap, were perfomed before arterial switch operation. There were five hospital deaths, all in the. patients with transposition of the great arteries with ventricular septal defect[overall mortality rate 22.7%]. Lecompte Maneuver was used in all patients, and in all patient the U-shaped flap of coronary arteries were transposed to V-shaped cleavage created in the neoaorta. Arterial defect in the neopulmonary artery was covered with 0.0625% Glutaraldehyde fixed autogenous pericardium There have been no late deaths, Postoperative cardiac catheterization and angiocardiogram in four patients has revealed no stenosis in the neopulmonary artery or neoaorta with reasonable P[RV/LV], Anatomic correction for transposition and double outlet right ventricle with subpulmonary ventricular septal defect would seem to be a good operative alternative to intraatrial switch procedures, with the advantage of incorporating the left ventricle to systemic circulation.
