본 연구는 개에서 건삭파열로 유발한 급성 이첨판 폐쇄부전 모델의 혈류역학적 변화를 관찰하는 것이다. 이 연구는 10마리의 정상 심장기능을 가진 비글견에서 실시되었다. 직접혈압측정법과 Swan-Ganz 카테터를 통해 건삭을 실험적으로 파열시키는 기간동안 혈류역학적 지표 변화를 진행하였다. 이첨판 폐쇄부전 모델을 만들기 위해 5번 늑간으로 접근하여 관절경에 사용하는 작은 훅나이프를 사용하여 건삭을 파열하였다. 수술 중 칼라 도플러 영상 검사를 통해 이첨판 역류를 확인하였다. 혈류역학적 지표를 측정한 결과 폐모세혈관쇄기압은 유의적으로 증가하였지만, 평균동맥압, 정맥압, 폐동맥압, 심박출량, 심박출 지수는 건삭 파열 후에 유의적으로 감소한다는 것을 발견하였다. 이것은 건산파열로 인해 좌심실로 부터 역류된 혈액이 좌심방에 과부하를 일으킨다는 것을 나타내는 것이다. 본 연구를 통해 개에서 급성 이첨판 폐쇄부전 모델을 만드는데 있어 건삭파열방법이 효과적인 것을 알 수 있었고, 이첨판 역류 유발 후 시간이 지나면 만성 이첨판 부전증으로 진행할 수 있을 것으로 생각되며, 차후 판막의 만성적 변화 양상을 연구하는데 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 생각됩니다.

젊은 연령층 환자를 대상으로 한 대동맥판막치환술은 몇가지 내재하는 문제점을 안고 있는데, 조직판막의 경우 내구성의 제한으로 재치환이 필요하며, 금속판막의 경우 내구성은 좋지만 일생동안 항응고제 치료에 따른 불편을 감수해야 한다. 로스술식은 대동맥판막치환에 대한 하나의 대안으로서 젊은 연령층 환자를 대상으로 점차 널리 시행되는 추세이나 장기적인 관점에서는 우심실유출로 협착 등의 문제로 인해 재수술을 필요로 한다는 사실이 단점으로 지적될 수 있다. 저자 등은 로스술식의 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위해 대동맥판막폐쇄부전을 앓아온 21세 여자 환자를 대상으로 로스술식을 적용하면서 폐동맥판막 위치에 자가 대동맥판막을 이전해 주는 반월판막전환술을 시행하였다. 이러한 반월판막전환술의 결과 폐동맥판막 위치에 이전된 자가폐동맥판막이 병리학적 변화를 수반하더라도 이전 후의 낮은 폐동맥압과 폐혈관저항으로 인해 판막기능이 비교적 만족할 만한 수준으로 호전되는 것을 경험하였기에 보고하는 바이다.

Between April 1976 and March 1978, six cases of tricuspid valve replacement were done in the Department of Thoracic Surgery, Seoul National University Hospital. There were 4 men and 2 women and the age of the patients ranged from 17 years of the youngest to 48 years of the oldest. Most of them had characteristic symptoms of tricuspid valve disease, such as a systolic murmur audible over the lower sternum and varying with respiration, pulsatile and distended neck vein, and an enlarged and pulsatile liver. Preoperative functional levels according to NYHA Calcification were class III in 4 cases, and class IV in 2 eases. Most of the cases showed moderate to severe cardiomegaly in chest films and elevated right atrial pressure on preoperative right heart catheterization. Five of them underwent concomittent mitral valve replacement and one pulmonary valvotomy. All of them showed tricuspid insufficiency resulted from massive dilatation of annulus, destructive lesions of valve structure, or both anomalies. One postoperative hospital death was encountered and the cause of death was low out-put syndrome. All survivors showed clinical improvement and cardiomegaly regressed and left hospital in a good condition . *Attendum; Recently 2 more cases of tricuspid valve replacement with mitral valve replacement were done after this review.

This is a report of one case of Loffler`s eosinophilic endocarditis associated with mitral insufficiency and LV thrombi treated surgically at the department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Hanyang University Hospital. This patient was a 42 year old female and she has complains of dyspnea, palpitation, orthopnea and generalized edema. Above symptoms has been going for 4 months and NYHA classification was IV. On examination, blood eosinophil was 45 to 50% [WBC-9800 ]. MI and LV thrombi were confirmed by LV ventriculography and echocardiography. Pulmonary congestion and congestive cardiac failure were diagnosis by X-Ray examination, EKG finding and clinical feature and others there were no organic functional disturbance. Mitral valve replacement was performed with Ionescu-Shiley pericardial valve [29mm] replacement. Adjust thumb sized grayish brown colored two thrombi were excluded, lodged in the apex and septal endocardium of LV. Endocardial fibrosis was reliably confirmed under the gross pathology in the heart. The patient had smooth postoperative course and there were no operative complication.

동맥전환술은 대혈관전위증의 가장 효과적인 수술 방법이 되어왔다. 그러나 동맥전환술 후 신생대동맥근부가 과도하게 확장되는 현상이 보고되었으며, 이에 따른 신생대동맥판막의 기능과 대동맥의 성장에 미치는 영향에 대해서는 잘 알려져 있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 신생대동맥판막과 대동맥의 수술 후 크기의 변화와 신생대동맥판막의 기능 및 기능에 영향을 미치는 요인을 조사하였다. 대상 및 방법: 대동맥전환술을 받고 추적관찰기간 중 심도자술을 시행 받은 48명의 환자들이 연구 대상이 되었으며, 동맥전환술은 나이 중앙값 생후 18일(1∼211일)에 시행받았다. 수술 전 심도자술은 26명의 환자에서 시행되었고, 수술 후 15.8$\pm$9.6개월에 모든 환자에서 심도자술을 시행하였다. 수술 후의 하행대동맥에 대한 신생대동맥륜, 대동맥근부과 대동맥문합부위의 직경 비율을 수술 전의 폐동맥륜, 근위부 및 동관경계부위의 크기와 비교하였다. 수술 전과 수술 시의 변수에 대한 신생대동맥판막폐쇄부전의 위험인자를 분석하였다. 결과: 추적관찰 중 2명의 환자에서 중등도 이상의(grade$\geq$II/IV) 대동맥판막폐쇄부전이 있었으며 이 중 1명은 대동맥판막치환술이 필요하였다. 1명의 환자에서 대동맥문합부 협착으로 재수술이 필요하였다. 수술 후 neoaortic annulus/DA 비는 1.33$\pm$0.28에서 1.52$\pm$0.33로 증가하였고(p=0.01), neoaortic root/DA 비도 2.02$\pm$0.40에서 2.56$\pm$0.38로 증가하였다(p<0.0001). 그러나 aortic anastomosis/DA 비는 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다(p=0.06). 신생대동맥판폐쇄부전의 발생과 neoaortic annulus/DA 비, neoaortic root/DA 비율에는 통계적으로 유의한 상관관계는 없었다. 신생아기 이후의 교정(나이>30일)(p=0.02), 수술 전 폐동맥판막협착(p=0.01)과 이엽성폐동맥판막(p=0.03)이 단일변수 분석에서 대동맥판막폐쇄부전의 위험인자이었다. 결론: 동맥전환술 후 대동맥문합부는 하행대동맥의 성장에 비례하는 정상 성장을 보이나 신생대동맥판막륜과 대동맥근부는 이상 확장을 보였다. 신생대동맥판막륜과 대동맥근부의 크기는 대동맥폐쇄부전과 직접적으로 연관되어 있지 않았으며, 임상적으로 의미 있는 대동맥판막폐쇄부전은 동맥전환술 후 드물게 발생했다. 신생아기 이후의 동맥전환술, 수술 전 폐동맥협착, 이엽성 폐동맥판막이 신생대동맥판막 폐쇄부전의 위험인자였다.

37 years old female was admitted with chief complaints of dyspnea on exertion and hemoptysis. Past history and family history were non-contributory. Physical examination showed Grade III systolic murmur at the apex, which transmitted to the back. E. K. G. and X-ray findings were compatible with the mitral insufficiency. With small size of Beall mitral valve, mitral valve replacement was done under the cardia-pulmonary bypass using hemodilution technic. Patient was tracheotomized after operation and assisted respiration was done for four weeks. Postoperatively, all signs were fine and patient walked around the ward without any difficulty, but she was in psychotic state. On postoperative 60th day, she complained of sudden dyspnea and on chest film, tracheal stenosis was found and recannulation of the tracheal tube was made. Thereafter, she was quite fine until postoperative 110th day when she, by berself, removed the tracheal cannula and died of asphyxia. Autopsy findings of the valve showed no thrombosis, no variance of the valve, and good endothelization of the valve cuffs. Asphyxia, due to removal of the tracheal connula by herself under psychotic state, was considered to be the cause of death in this patient who had tracheal stenosis after tracheostomy.

Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries is a rare congenital heart anomaly, in isolation, has no hemodynamic consequences. It is usually associated with one or more of a variety of intracardiac lesions, ventricular septal defect, valvular or subvalvular pulmonary stenosis, and deformity of the systemic atrioventricular valve with insufficiency. This report describes a successful two stage operation for congenitally corrected transposition, [SLL] type, with ventricular septal defect, pulmonary atresia, persistent ductus arteriosus, and atrial septal defect. A 9 years old patient underwent modified Blalock-Taussig operation because of severe pulmonary hypoplasia. 2 years later a corrective operation, direct closure of ASD and PDA, VSD closure with Dacron patch, Enlargement of left pulmonary artery with pericardial patch and Relief of ROTO with Rastelli procedure could be successfully performed without complication.

We have experienced 62 cases of modified Fontan operations in Seoul Nat’l University Hospital from Apr. 1986 to Jul. 1989, They were 38 males and 24 females, and their age was ranged from 16 months to 15.5 years of age. [mean age : 5.73$\pm$2.99 years] There were 16 operative deaths and 2 late deaths, therefore 29% of overall mortality. Their diagnoses were as follows; 28 single ventricle, 11 tricuspid atresia, 6 DORV with LV hypoplasia, 3 pulmonary atresia with hypoplastic RV, 3 TGA with hypoplastic RV, 3 cor\ulcornerGA with hypoplastic LV and PA, 6 AV canal defects with PA, and 2 others. Low cardiac output and pleural effusion were developed frequently, so we divide 40 patients into some groups to analyze the physiologic and anatomic causes of them. By the degree of the LCO, group A was no LCO[mean amount of inotropics used: 0-5 \ulcornerg/kg/min] with 17 cases, B mild LCO [5-10] with 11, C moderate to severe LCO but alive[>10] with 8, D severe LCO to death with 4 cases. For the pleural effusion, group 1 was to be removed the chest tube within 1 week with 8 cases, group II within 3 weeks with 21 cases, group III beyond 3 weeks with 12 cases. We considered their age, diagnosis, pulmonary artery size[PA index], pulmonary artery abnormality, palliative shunt, systemic ventricular type, pulmonary artery wedge pressure, as preoperative factors, and operative methods, and as postoperative factors, CVP, LAP, arrhythmia, thrombosis, atrioventricular valvular insufficiency, etc. In the view of LCO, pulmonary artery size and PCWP were statistically significant [P<0.05], and arrhythmia, A-V valve insufficiency were inclined to the group C and D Pleural effusion was influenced by the pulmonary artery size, pulmonary artery resistance, PCWP, and CVP significantly. [P<0.05] And arrhythmia, residual shunt, and A-V valvular insufficiency were inclined to group II and III, too. As a results, the followings are to be reminded as the important factors at the care of post-Fontan LCO, and persistent pleural effusion [1] pulmonary artery size, [2] pulmonary artery resistance, [3] PCWP, [4] CVP, [5] arrhythmia, [6] residual shunt, [7]A-V valvular insufficiency.

In Behcet syndrome, cardiac involvements are rare and have been reported pericarditis, myocarditis, right heart endocardial fibrosis, right ventricle mural thrombus with pulmonary embolism, active endocarditis, granulomatous endocarditis, conduction disturbance, acute aortic insufficiency, mitral valve prolapse. Our three patients underwent AVR because of aortic insufficiency and ascending aorta enlargement combined with Behcet syndrome. Two patients had mitral regurgitation too. So one underwent MAP and the other underwent MVR concomitantly. One who underwent AVR have been well for 50 months. Another who underwent AVR+MAP and redo AVR due to aortic paravalvular leakage was died of congestive heart failure. The other who underwent AVR+MVR and repeated AVR three times because of aortic paravalvular leakage is in condition of aortic paravalvular leakage. Paravalvular leakage is considered to recur due to progressive dilatation and fragility of aortic root that is the result of pathologic change of Behcet syndrome in it. If Open heart surgery is needed in Behcet`s syndrome during inflammatory reaction is active, postoperative complications such as paravalvular leakage or suture line rupture may be prevented with pre- and postoperative anti-inflammatory management.
