This retrospective, echocardiographic study using 144 dogs with clear systolic tricuspid regurgitation on Doppler echocardiography was performed to determine the diagnostic value of the systolic tricuspid regurgitation velocity/pulmonary artery flow velocity time integral to predict the Doppler estimates of dogs with tricuspid regurgitation pressure gradient compared with other cardiac indices of pulmonary hypertension, and to investigate a cutoff value to select patients with a potentially poor outcome. The systolic tricuspid regurgitation velocity/pulmonary artery flow velocity time integral increased significantly as the severity of pulmonary hypertension increased and had a correlation coefficient that was analogous to those of other conventional cardiac indices. A cutoff value greater 1.65 provided the best-balanced sensitivity (84%) and specificity (80%) in determining patients with a poor prognosis. In conclusion, the systolic tricuspid regurgitation velocity/pulmonary artery flow velocity time integral is readily obtained using routine echocardiography and could provide a non-invasive, novel, and supplementary index for evaluating dogs with pulmonary hypertension as useful prognostic criteria, particularly in those with advanced pulmonary hypertension.

A 17-month-old intact male Cocker Spaniel was presented with primary complaints of severe ascites, exercise intolerance, and diarrhea. Diagnostic studies revealed tricuspid and pulmonic regurgitation on phonocardiogram, right ventricular enlargement on the electrocardiogram, typical right cardiac enlargement signs on the thoracic radiography and tricuspid valve malformation and marked enlargement of the right atrium and right ventricle on the echocardiography and tricuspid and pulmonary regurgitation on the color spectral echocardiography, suggesting tricuspid valve dysplasia and pulmonary hypertension. Using angiography and cardiac catheterization, pulmonary hypertension was ruled out. Further echocardiographic study revealed membranous valvular structures cranial to pulmonary annulus causing pulmonary regurgitation. Based on these findings on the diagnostic investigation, the case was diagnosed as tricuspid valve dysplasia complicated with pulmonic regurgitation. The dog was medically managed with furosemide, enalapril, nitroglycerine transdermal patch and pimobendan after the ascitic fluid removal.

배경: 폐동맥유출로 재건 후의 폐동맥판막 폐쇄부전 또는 협착은 초기에는 증상을 일으키는 경우가 적지만 시간이 경과함에 따라 심한 증상을 동반하는 우심비대 및 우심부전, 부정맥 등을 초래할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 이런 경우에 조직판막을 이용하여 폐동맥판 대치술을 시행한 16례의 환자에 대한 임상적 단기성적에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1999년 9월부터 2002년 2월 사이에 폐동맥판 대치술을 시행한 16명의 환자를 대상으로 하였고(남아 9명, 여아 7명), 진단은 팔로씨사징(n=11)과 그 외 폐동맥유출로 협착을 동반한 선천성 심기형(n=5)이었다. 판막은 Carpentier-Edwards PERIMOUNT Pericardial BioprOSTHESES와 Hancock porcine valves를 사용하였는데 조직판막 외륜의 후방 3분의 2를 환자의 폐동맥판륜 위치에 삽입하고 전방 3분의 1을 우심낭 첩포로 덮었다. 술전 13명에서 중등도 이상의 폐동맥판막 폐쇄부전이 존재하였고 3명에서는 중증 폐동맥판막 협착이 있었다. 12명에서는 삼첨판막 폐쇄부전이 존재하였다. 결과: 추적관찰은 모든 환아에서 이루어졌으며 추적관찰기간은 15.8$\pm$8.5개월이었다. 수술 관련 사망은 없었다. 술후 심흉곽비는 66.0 $\pm$ 6.5%에서 57.3 $\pm$ 4.5%로 감소하였고(n=16, p=0.001), 가장 최근 추적관찰에서 NYHA 기능분류는 전례에서 I 등급이었다(n=16, p=0.06). 술후 폐동맥판막 폐쇄부전은 모두에서 경도이하로만 남았고, 삼첨판막 폐쇄부전은 미세이하로만 남았다. 결론: 본 연구에서 우심부전을 동반하거나 혹은 그렇지 않은 경우도 잔존 폐동맥판막 폐쇄부전 또는 협착에 대해 조기에 조직판막 대치술을 시행하는 것이 심비대의 감소와 폐동맥판막 및 삼첨판막 폐쇄부전의 호전, 임상증상의 호전을 보였다는 점에서 적어도 단기 관찰 소견상 적절함을 보였다. 그러나 향후 장기 추적관찰 결과는 주의깊게 살펴보아야 할 것으로 사료되었다.

목 적 : 폐동맥판 역류를 감소시키고자 2000년 4월부터 자기 판막을 이용한 판막 재건술을 시행하였으며, 이러한 수술 방법이 폐동맥판 역류와 임상적인 결과의 호전을 주는지 알아보고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방 법 : 1991년 7월부터 2004년 8월까지 동아대학교 의료원에서 활로사징으로 완전 교정술을 시행한 환아 중, 자기 판막 조직을 이용한 폐동맥 판막 재건술을 시행한 31례(PVR군)와 수술 후 같은 추적 관찰 기간을 가진 활로사징 환아 중 경판륜 첩포(transannular patch) 확장 수술 후 단엽(monocusp)을 삽입한 47례(MVOP군), 경판륜 첩포 수술만 시행한 22례(TAP군)를 대조군으로 하였다. 이들 대조군과 PVR군에서 폐동맥판 역류, 폐동맥 판막의 기능, 삼첨판/승모판 판륜의 비율, 심-흉곽 비율을 계측하여 비교하였다. 결 과 : MVOP군에서 심초음파 검사상 중등도의 폐동맥판 역류는 수술 직후 35례(74%)에서 관찰되었고, 우심실의 확장이 있는 경우가 12례(26%)였다. 그러나 PVR군은 중등도의 폐동맥판 역류는 6례(19%)였고, 우심실의 확장이 있는 경우는 1례(3%)에 불과하였다. 이후 매년 추적 검사상 MVOP군에서 거의 모든 예에서 중등도의 폐동맥판 역류를 보였고, PVR군에서 점차 증가하는 경향을 보였다. MVOP군의 수술 직후 초음파 검사에서 운동성이 확인되지 않은 경우가 18례(38%)였으며, 12례에서는 양호한 판막 기능을 보였다. PVR군은 30례(96%)에서 우수한 판막 기능을 보여 주었고, 1례(3%)에서 양호한 판막 기능을 보였다. 추적 관찰 기간 중의 판막의 기능은 MVOP군에서 추적 관찰 기간에 따라 판막 기능의 급격한 감소를 보여 주었으며, PVR군은 1년, 2년, 3년, 4년 추적 관찰 기간에 각각 27례(90%), 21례(75%), 14례(68%), 8례(50%)로 관찰 기간이 경과할수록 기능이 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 심-흉곽의 비율은 세 군에서 수술 직후에는 차이가 없었으나 PVR군이 1년, 2년, 3년, 4년 추적 관찰 기간에 통계학적으로 유의하게 양군에 비해 감소되었다. 그러나 MVOP군과 TAP군간에는 통계학적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다. 삼첨판/승모판 판륜 직경의 비는 수술 직후에는 차이가 없었으며 추적 관찰 기간 1년, 2년 및 3년에 양 군에 비해 통계학적으로 유의하게 차이가 있었다. 그러나 MVOP군과 TAP군간에는 통계학적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다. 결 론 : PVR군이 다른 군에 비해 폐동맥판 역류의 정도는 감소되었으며, 판막의 기능이 양호하였고, 심-흉곽 비율, 삼첨판/승모판 판륜의 비가 유의하게 낮았다. 그러나 PVR 군에서 폐동맥판 역류 정도, 판막 운동의 저하가 추적 관찰 기간이 경과함에 따라 악화하는 경향을 보였으며, 장기적인 추적 관찰이 필요하리라 생각된다.

Repair of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) has shown excellent outcomes. However it leaves varying degrees of residual hemodynamic impairment, with severe pulmonary stenosis (PS) and free pulmonary regurgitation (PR) at both ends of the spectrum. Since the 1980s, studies evaluating late outcomes after TOF repair revealed the adverse impacts of residual chronic PR on RV volume and function; thus, a turnaround of operational strategies has occurred from aggressive RV outflow tract (RVOT) reconstruction for complete relief of RVOT obstruction to conservative RVOT reconstruction for limiting PR. This transformation has raised the question of how much residual PS after conservative RVOT reconstruction is acceptable. Besides, as pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) increases in patients with RV deterioration from residual PR, there is concern regarding when it should be performed. Regarding residual PS, several studies revealed that PS in addition to PR was associated with less PR and a small RV volume. This suggests that PS combined with PR makes RV diastolic property to protect against dilatation through RV hypertrophy and supports conservative RVOT enlargement despite residual PS. Also, several studies have revealed the pre-PVR threshold of RV parameters for the normalization of RV volume and function after PVR, and based on these results, the indications for PVR have been revised. Although there is no established strategy, better understanding of RV mechanics, development of new surgical and interventional techniques, and evidence for the effect of PVR on RV reverse remodeling and its late outcome will aid us to optimize the management of TOF.

Backgroud: Conventional cardiac transplantation with each atrial anastomosis designed by Shumway and associates has been used widely in cardiac transplantation because of its simplicity and efficiency. There have been many reports about the postoperative atrioventricular value regurgitation resulting from the alteration in atrial geometry after cardiac transplantation by Shumway's technique. New surgical technique of direct anastomosis of superior vena cava, inferior vena cava, right pulmonary vein and left pulmonary vein was introduced to overcome the those problems. We performed this study to test the feasibility of this new surgical technique prior to application to clinical practice. Material and Method: Conventional cardiac transplantation was performed on 12 mongrel dogs(Group I) and cardiac transplantation with new surgical mthod of direct anastomosis of SVC, IVC, left and right pulmonary veins was performed on 11 mongrel dogs(Group II). After weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass, we compared the postoperative rhythm, hemodynamic data, and echocardiographic findings between two groups. Result : The cardiopulmonary bypass time and graft ischemic time were 119.0$\pm$4.4 minutes, 162.0$\pm$4.5 minutes respectively in group I, and 140.0$\pm$7.1 minutes, 180.5$\pm$5.4 minutes respectively in group II. The cardiopulmonary time and graft ischemic time in group II were longer than those of group I (p<0.05). There were 3 cases of failure to weaning from cardipulmonary bypass onein group I and two in group II, and this difference was not significant statistically. Sinus rhythm was regained postoperatively in 58% (group I) and 82%(group II), without statistical significant between 2 groups. Postoperative echolcardiography showed 2 cases of tricuspid value regurgitation and 1 case of mitral regurgitation in group I, and no regurgitation of atrioventricular value in group II. Conclusion: Although these was no statistically significant difference between 2 groups, there was tendency of less arrhythmia and less atrioventricular valvular regurgitation in group II. We suggested that the new surgical technique could be a useful strategy in heart transplantation, especially in the case of size mismatching between donor and recipient.

The incidence of annuloaortic ectasia has known rare, and approximately 5-10% of aortic regurgitation. The patient was 44 years old male who complained exertional dyspnea and left anterior chest pain. He had done Lt. side 2 stage thoracoplasty for pulmonary tuberculosis about 20 years ago at Dept.of Chest surgery of National Medical Center. At that time, there was no abnormal findings in cardiovascular system. The preoperative aortic cineangiogram showed pear shaped dilatation [7.3 cm x 6.8 cm] of aortic mot with aortic valve regurgitation but left ventricular ejection function was fair. Preop. ventilatory function test showed mixed type pulmonary insufficiency. Recently, we corrected surgically, by AVR with Carpentier-Edwards Bioprosthesis [29mm] & supracoronary Woven Dacron graft [29mm x 5cm] replacement, with good clinical result for follow up 6 months.

We experienced a case of interrupted aortic arch[Type A] associated with PDA, VSD, mitral regurgitation and single coronary artery. The patient was 7 years old boy, who showed congestive heart failure[NYHA functional class III]. One stage total correction was performed under profound hypothermia with total circulatory arrest. Aortic continuity was established using PDA with anterior wall of main pulmonary artery flap. VSD was closed with Dacron patch and mitral regurgitation repaired by Reed`s annuloplasty method. The postoperative cardiac catheterization revealed no pressure gradient between ascending aorta and descending aorta, decreased pulmonary artery pressure and trivial residual shunt[Qp/Qs: 1.28]. The aortogram showed good continuity of the aorta without narrowing of the anastomotic site. During the period of 1 year follow up, heart failure symptoms were nearly subsided.

Congenital coronary arteriovenous fistula is relatively uncommon and often associated with additional congenital and acquired heart disease. If coronary arteriovenous fistula is suspected, the diagnosis can be made readily by cardiac catheterization and selective coronary arteriography. Surgical treatment is very satisfactory, with a low mortality and apparent good long term result. Recently, we experienced one case of congenital coronary arteriovenous fistula which was associated with aortic stenosis and regurgitation. The tortuous fistula tract was noted between the left anterior descending coronary artery and the main pulmonary artery. Under the cardiopulmonary bypass, aortic valve replacement[Carbomedics 23mm] and suture closure of the draining orifice of coronary arteriovenous fistula in the main pulmonary artery just above the pulmonary valve were performed, Postoperative hospital course was uneventful and the patient was discharged postoperative 9th day without any problems.

Twenty eight patients had undergone repair of an isolated complete atrioventricular septal defect between April 1986 and September 1990 in Seoul National University Children`s Hospital. The group comprised 13 male and 15 female patients. They ranged in age from 2 months to 8 years[mean 18.6months] and in weight from 3. 4kg to 23kg[mean 9.0$\pm$4.6kg]. They were analysed as Rastelli type A in 17 patients, Rastelli type B in 2 patients, and Rastelli type C in 9 patients. Seven patients had concomitant Down`s syndrome. All patients had large left-to-right shunt[mean pulmonary to systemic flow ratio 3.5 $\pm$2.2 ranging from 0.68 to 10.0] and high pulmonary systolic pressure[mean 74$\pm$18.8mmHg, ranging from 35 to 110]. In 11 patients, one patch technique was used to close the atrial and ventricular septal defect and 16 patients were undergone by two patch technique. We urgently managed only one patient by pulmonary artery banding whose anatomy was Rastelli type C and severe mitral regurgitation was identified. Postoperative complete A - V block was noted in 3 patients, two of whom were dead in operating room due to combined LVOTO and myocardial failure, and one patient with Rastelli type C was undergone by VVI type permanent pacemaker insertion 1wk later after two patch technique, but we had to manage him by modified Konno operation and total correction due to LVOTO and VSD leakage and severe mitral regurgitation 3 years later. Another two reoperation cases due to severe mitral regurgitation after two patch technique were undergone, one of whom we managed by mitral annuloplasty 3 months later but aggravated mitral regurgitation made us to control him by MVR 3 months later. Another one case of VSD leakage and tricuspid regurgitation was managed by total correction but she died of respiratory insufficiency 14 days later. We experienced pulmonary hypertensive crisis in 3 patients, who were dead in two cases comparing with one control case. So operative mortality is 9/27[33.6%], in one patch group of 3/11[29.2%] comparing with two patch group of 6/16[37.5%]. In summary, causes of death were pump weaning failure, myocardial failure and low cardiac output syndrome and pulmonary hypertensive crisis, resp. failure, complete AV block. Mean follow up period is 15.8$\pm$10.7 months[ranging from 3months to 37 months]
