목적: 저자들은 본 연구에서 제I형 심실중격결손 환자에서 대동맥판막 병변 발생의 위험인자와 수술후 대동맥판막병변의 진행 양상과 수술 결과를 분석하여 제I형 심실중격결손의 수술시기와 치료전략을 확립하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 1991년 1월부터 2000년 12월까지 제I형 심실중격결손 또는 이에 동반된 대동맥판막병변에 대한 수술을 시행한 310예의 환자군을 대상으로 하였다. 환자의 평균연령은 73.7$\pm$114.7 (1∼737)개월이었으며 평균체중은 20.5$\pm$18.8 (3∼95) kg이었다. 진단 당시 대동맥 병변이 없는 경우가 186예(60%)였고 경도의 대동맥판폐쇄부전이 동반된 경우가 83예(27%), 중등도의 대동맥판폐쇄부전이 동반된 경우가 25예(8%), 중증 대동맥판폐쇄부전이 동반된 경우가 16예(5%)였다. 295예의 환자는 일차수술에서 동맥하심실중격결손만을 폐쇄하거나 (279예) 동시에 대동맥판막성 형술을 시행하거나 (5예), 대동맥판막치환술을 시행하였다(11예). 15예의 환자는 일차로 심실중격결손에 대해 수술을 받았던 환자 중 이차로 대동맥판막성형술을 시행하거나(4예), 대동맥판막치환술을 시행하였다(11예). 대동맥판폐쇄부전의 발생에 영향을 주는 위험인자를 분석하기 위하여 수술 당시 환자의 나이, 대동맥판막탈출증의 동반 여부, Qp/Qs, 수축기폐동맥압, 심실중격결손의 크기, 수축기 폐동맥압/체동맥압비 등을 분석대상 위험인자로 포함시켰다. 수술 당시 나이가 대동맥판폐쇄부전 발생에 미치는 영향을 보기 위해 환자군을 0∼1세(Group A: 102예), 1∼6 세(Group B: 136예), 6∼20세(Group C: 31예)로 나누었다. 대동맥판막의 수술방법에 따른 만기 수술 성적의 비교를 위해 대동맥판막성형술을 시행받은 9예와 대동맥판막치환술을 시행받은 22예의 술후 대동맥판막 기능을 비교하였다. 결과: 제I형 심실중격결손 환자에서 수술 당시 고연령, 대동맥판막탈출증 동반, 높은 Qp/Qs, 수축 기고폐동맥압 등이 대동맥판폐쇄부전 발생의 위험인자로 밝혀졌다(p<0.05, Table 2). 특히 수술 당시 연령이 높을수록 술 전 대동맥판폐쇄부전의 빈도가 높았으며 술 후 대동맥판폐쇄부전이 새로 발생하거나 진행하는 빈도가 높았다(p<0.05, Table 1, Fig. 1). 수술 당시 연령이 높은 환자에 대하여 판막대치술이 아닌 판막성형술을 한 경우 잔존 대동맥판폐쇄부전이 남는 경우가 의미있게 높았다 (p<0.05, Fig. 2). 결론: 결론적으로 대동맥판막의 병변 진행이나 발생을 억제하기 위하여 제I형 심실중격결손증에 대해서는 조기 수술이 권장되며 조기수술이 안 되어 병변의 진행이 심해지면 대동맥판막성형술의 완벽한 결과를 기대하기 어려운 경우가 적지 않으므로 병변이 심한 경우 대동맥판막대치술도 수술방법의 선택목록에 포함시켜야 한다.

Between November 1990 and December 1993, 9 patients underwent surgical intervention for acute active endocarditis at Gyeongsang National University Hospital. All the patients were operated on within the first six weeks after onset of symptoms for various reasons. Surgical indications for early surgery were heart failure, systemic septic emboli, new murmur and growing vegetation. Most common infecting organism was Staphylococcus[55 %], and the others were Streptococcus, anaerobes, Candida and unknown in 1 case. The infection was in the mitral valve in 5 patients, the aortic valve in 2, the aortic and mitral in 1, and the aortic and pulmonary in 1. There was one operative death[11 %] and no late death. Preoperative Functional Class were II in 4 patients, III in 5 and after surgery all the patients improved to Class I. We conclude that early surgical intervention in acute active endocarditis is effective in most instances.

During the 4 years period to be reported, 34 operations were performed on the mitral valve in the department of Thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, Korea University hospital, from Aug. 1975 to April 1979. At the first 1-year period, the closed technique was used in 12 patients. After that, open-heart surgery was used routinely; 8 patients had open mitral commissurotomy and 14 patients had valve replacement. There were 18 men and 16 women with sex ratio of 1.1: 1. The age of the patients varied widely from 18 years of the youngest to 46 years of the oldest-average aged of 32.5 years. All had symptoms and the mean duration of symptoms was 6 years and 1 month. Preoperative atrial fibrillation was 47% and embolizations were in 3 of 34 patients. The operative mortality was none for the closed and 14% for the open technique combined rate of 9 per cent which were valve thrombosis, brain embolism and left pulmonary vein rupture in deauriculization. But surviving patients undergoing open heart surgery enjoyed symptomatic benefits comparable to these of the patients of closed.

Congenital coronary arteriovenous fistula is a rare cardiac defect that causes coronary arterial flow to drain into the right cardiac chambers, the pulmonary artery, the coronary sinus, or the left cardiac chambers. The most frequently involved vessel is the right coronary artery. We experienced a case that had a coronary arteriovenous fistula associated with valvular heart disease. With the cardiopulmonary bypass done under hypothermia, mitral valve replacement was accomplished and the fistulas of both proximal and distal portions of the right coronary artery were closed with 3-0 prolene. Postoperative course was uneventful.

A coronary arteriovenous fistula represents an abnormal communication from a coronary artery that may enter any cardiac chamber, a pulmonary artery, the coronary sinus, the superior vena cava or the pulmonary vein. We had a successful experience with 46 year-old male who complained exertional dyspnea[NYHA classification II] and anginal pain since 5 years ago. In intensive study of cardiac catheterization and coronary cineangiography, multiple bilateral coronary arteriovenous fistulas and mitral stenoinsufficiency with left atrial thrombi were recognized. The coronary arterio-venous fistula of left coronary artery was revealed large tortuous aberrant vessels that were connected between just distal portion of first diagonal branch of left anterior descending artery and main pulmonary artery. Other fistula was small tortuous vessel which was originated from left atrial branch of left circumflex artery, was drained into left atrium. The fistula of right coronary artery was communicated conal branch of right coronary artery to main pulmonary artery. But there was no 0y step-up in the right cardiac catheterization. The operative procedure were suture-ligation of draining orifice of coronary arteriovenous fistula in main pulmonary artery, mitral valve replacement[Ionescu-Shiley 25mm] with removal of left atrial thrombi and plication of left atrium under the extracorporeal circulation. The postoperative course was uneventful without any complication and discharged without problem at 17th postoperative days.

Since we first performed open heart surgery on December 30, 1986, 126 cases were operated on up to August 31, 1989. Among the 126 cases, 65 cases were congenital heart disease of which 63 were acyanotic disease, and 61 cases were acquired heart disease, most of which were valvular heart disease. The age distribution of congenital heart disease was from 1 years 2 months to 48 years, and males had a slightly higher incidence. The age of acquired heart disease was from a minimum of 15 years to a maximum of 68 years, and the male to female ratio was 1;1.5. Midsternotomy was performed in all cases, and the aortic cannula was inserted through ascending aorta and the venous cannula inserted into the SVC and IVC through the right atrium. Vent was inserted through the right superior pulmonary vein. Cardioplegia solution was used in all cases; it was composed of sodium bicarbonate 3.5 ampule, KCL 14 mEq, 2% lidocaine 2.5 ml, 20 % albumin 50 ml and heparin 1000 units mixed to 950 ml with Hartman solution, and was made to 4oC and infused 10 ml per Kg every 20 minutes. The congenital heart disease had a variety of VSD in 32 cases, ASD 23 cases, PS 6 cases, PDA 2 cases, and one case each of Ebsteins anomaly and tricuspid atresia. The operations performed for acquired heart disease were 4 cases of OMC, 33 cases of MVR, and 5 cases of AVR, and 1 case of AVR with CABG. DVR was perfomed in 13 cases, and triple valve replacement was done in 1 case. Other than these, excision of LA myxoma was 2 cases, and repair of traumatic VSD and removal of a pulmonary embolism were one case each. The surgical mortality was 5 cases[4%], all of which occurred in valve replacement cases. Follow-up study revealed 2 late deaths. One died after a traffic accident and one died due to sepsis after he had received a gastrectomy for ulcer bleeding. The remaining patients were in good condition.

A congenital coronary artery fistula is an uncommon anomaly which has a direct communication between a coronary artery and the lumen of any one of the four cardiac chambers, or the coronary sinus, or its tributary veins or the superior vena cava. The right coronary artery is involved most frequently, and the abnormal communication in most often is to the right ventricle followed in incidence by drainage into the right atrium and the pulmonary artery. Recently. we experienced a case of congenital coronary artery fistula associated with valvular heart disease. The fistulous communication was noted between the left circumflex artery and the left atrial appendage. Under the cardiopulmonary bypass, the internal obliteration of the left atrial appendage, mitral valve replacement, and aortic valve exploration were accomplished. Postoperative hospital course was uneventful and the patient was discharged without any problems.

Coarctation of the Aorta is a congenital constriction of aorta of varying degree, usually located at or near the aortic ismuth with frequent associations of other cardiac anomalies. Various modes of surgical corrections, such as resection and end-to-end anastomosis, graft interposition, angioplasty using prosthetic patch or subclavian flap have been used according to the status of coarctation and age of the patient. We have experienced two cases of surgically treated coarctation of the aorta, one of which was preductal coarctation with hypoplastic aortic arch and ventricular septal defect in a 4 year old boy, and the other case was juxtaductal type with aortic regurgitation. Subclavian flap angioplasty with additional pulmonary artery banding procedure was done in the first case and wedge resection with end-to-end anastomosis and aortic valve replacement [St. Jude valve, 23mm] 20 days later of first operation in the other case. The first case developed massive tarry stool on 3rd POD, probably due to mesenteric arteritis with resultant bowl ecrosis, and expired the next day. Recovery was uneventful with the second case.
