The present study reports 41 cases of congenital and acquired heart diseases, who received open heart surgery under extracorporeal circulation [ECC] by Sarns Heart-Lung-Machine [HLM] at the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Hanyang University Hospital during the` period between July 1975 and February 1979. The priming of pump oxygenator was carried out by the hemodilution method using Hartman`s solution, whole blood, and fresh human plasma. The rate of hemodilution was in the average of 50.8 ml/kg. ECC was performed at the average perfusion flow rate of 85.0 ml/kg/min [2.43 L./ kg/2] and at moderate hypothermia. In the total cardiopulmonary bypass, arterial pressure ranged between 55 mmHg and 90 mmHg, but generally maintaining over 70 mmHg. Patient age ranged between 2 and 54 year old, in congenital heart diseases, between 2 and 28, in acquired heart diseases, between 17 and 54 Sex ratio of male to female was 20:21. The cases include a case of pulmonary valvular stenosis, 4 cases of atrial septal defect, 9 cases of ventricular septal defect, 9 cases of tetralogy of Fallot, 5 cases of pentalogy of Fallot, 3 cases of atypical multiple anomalies 7 cases of mitral stenosis or insufficiency, a case of myxoma in left atrium, and a case of ruptured aneurysm of Valsalva`s sinus. The surgical managements were 16 valvulotomy for pulmonary valvular stenosis, 2 Teflon patch graft closure and 5 simple suture closure of atrial septal defect, 16 Teflon patch graft closure and 5 simple suture closure of ventricular septal defect, 12 pericardial patch graft for infundibular stenosis of right ventricle, one anastomosis between left superior vena cava and right atrium, 2 open mitral commissurotomy, 5 mitral valve replacement using Starr-Edward`s ball valve, porcine xenograft by Hancock, by Carpentier-Edward, or Angell-Shiley, one removal of left atrial myxoma, and a repair of ruptured aneurysm of Valsalva`s sinus. Four [9.7%] out 41 cases expired postoperatively and the rest of 37 cases survived with satisfactory results. The causes of death were one coronary embolism in tetralogy of Fallot, 2 postoperative lower cardiac output in atypical multiple anomalies, and one right heart failure in large: ventricular septal defect with pulmonary hypertension.

Twenty six patients were operated a total correction of tetralogy of Fallot between Jan., 1984 and July, 1985 at the Dept. of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, Chonnam University Medical School, and a comparison between the survived group [n = 18] and the dead group [n = B was performed to detect factors influencing laboratory data, cineangiographic findings, operative findings and methods, and pump time. Following results were obtained, 1. There was no significant difference between two groups in the preoperative P.O2 and hematocrit level. 2. The size of the interventricular defect was not related to the operative mortality. 3. There was a significant difference in mortality rate between combined type of stenosis of pulmonary artery, valve and infundibulum and other types of right ventricular outflow tract stenosis. 4. There was a significant difference in mortality rate between the transannular patch reconstruction and other types of operative procedure. 5. There was no significant difference between two groups in total bypass time and aortic time. 6. There was no significant difference between two groups in left ventricular end diastolic volume and right ventricular end diastolic volume. 7. The operative mortality was related to the ratio of the diameter of the pulmonary valve annulus or each pulmonary artery to the ascending or descending aorta in cineangiographic findings, but there was no statistical significance of which probably is due to the lack of the total number of patients.

A 3-year-old, intact female, Shih-tzu dog was presented with a 15-day history of vomiting,depression, and anorexia. On physical examination, systolic ejection murmurs with precordial thril atthe left heart base were detected. A diagnosis of congenital pulmonic stenosis (PS) was made mainlyfrom the thoracic radiography, electrocardiography, and echocardiography. On complete blood counts andconfirmed that main pulmonary artery was tremendously buldged and electrocardiography was suggestiveof severe right ventricular hypertrophy. Echocardiographic findings revealed the pulmonic valve stenosiscontaining valvular dysplasia and poststenotic dilation. On Doppler echocardiography, ejection velocityof the lesion accounted for 3.38 m/sec, meaning mild velocity through the stenotic area. The dog'sproblem and resulted in death. However, there has been no reliable relation between PS and CRF. Primarymalformation of pulmonic valve was confirmed at necropsy after death.

The half-turned truncal switch (HTTS) operation has been reported as an alternative to the Rastelli or $r{\acute{e}}paration$ $\grave{a}$ $l^{\prime}{\acute{e}}tage$ ventriculaire procedures. HTTS prevents left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction in patients with complete transposition of the great arteries (TGA) with a ventricular septal defect (VSD) and pulmonary stenosis (PS), or in those with a Taussig-Bing anomaly with PS. The advantages of the HTTS procedure are avoidance of late LVOT or right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) obstruction, and of overstretching of the pulmonary artery. We report the case of a patient who underwent HTTS for TGA with VSD and PS, in whom there was no LVOT obstruction and only mild aortic regurgitation and mild RVOT obstruction, including observations at 12-year follow-up. Our experience with long-term follow-up of HTTS supports a solution for late complications after the Rastelli procedure.

Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is an index lesion for all paediatric and congenital heart surgeons. In designing an appropriate operation for children with TOF, the predicted postoperative physiology must be taken into account, both for the short and long term. A favourable balance between pulmonary stenosis (PS) and pulmonary insufficiency (PI) may be critical for preservation of biventricular function. A unified repair strategy to limit both residual PS and PI is presented, along with supportive experimental evidence. A strategy for dealing with coronary anomalies and some comments regarding best timing of operation are also included.

배경: 팔로네징후의 수술적 교정은 좋은 조기 및 만기 성적을 보이고 있다. 그러나 장기적인 추적 관찰 기간 동안 발생하는 폐동맥 판막 역류와 협착은 지속적으로 문제가 되고 있으며, 이는 최초 완전교정술 시 재건한 우심실 유출로 크기 정도에 따라 달라질 수 있다. 이에 폐동맥 판막 역류와 협착의 발생을 줄일 수 있는 적절한 우심실 유출로 크기에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 대상 및 방법: 본 연구는 팔로네징후로 완전교정술을 시행 받은 환자들을 대상으로 장기적으로 폐동맥 판막 역류와 협착의 발생을 줄일 수 있는 적절한 우심실 유출로 크기를 찾기 위한 전향적 연구이다. 2002년 1월부터 2004년 12월까지 팔로네징후 62명(남자 34 명, 여자 28명)의 환자들을 완전교정하였고 우심실 유출로 재건 후 폐동맥 판륜의 크기(직경) 를 측정하였으며, 심초음파를 정기적으로 시행(퇴원 시, 6개월, 1년, 2년, 3년)하여 폐동맥 판막 역류 및 협착 정도를 추적 관찰하였다. 결과: 우심실 유출로를 재건한 방법에 따라 경판륜 그룹(12명)과 비경판륜 그룹(50명)으로 구분하였고 우심실 유출로의 크기는 폐동맥 판륜의 직경을 기준으로 경판륜 그룹에서 Z value -1 $(-3.6{\sim}0.8)$, 비경판륜 그룹에서 2.1 $(-5.2{\sim}1.5)$ 이었다 수술을 마치고 측정한 우심실 /좌심실의 압력 비율은 경판륜 그룹이 평균 $0.44{\pm}0.09$, 비경판륜 그룹이 $0.42{\pm}0.09$로 두 그룹 간에 차이가 없었으며, 폐동맥 판륜 크기와 우심실/좌심실 압력 비율 간의 유의한 상관관계는 없었다. 두 그룹 중에서 중등도 이상의 페동맥 판막 역류의 발생은 경판륜 그룹에서 의미 있게 많았다(p<0.01). 비경판륜 그룹 내에서 수술 시 교정한 폐동맥 판륜 크기에 따른 폐동맥 판막 역류의 발생을 분석하였을 때 Z value가 0보다 크게 교정된 경우 폐동맥 판막 역류가 유의하게 증가하였고(p<0.05) 경도-중등도 이상의 폐동맥 판막 협착의 발생은 Z value가 -1.5보다 작은 경우 유의하게 증가하였다(p<0.05). 관찰 기간 중 비경판륜 그룹 내에서 의미 있는 중등도 이상의 폐동맥 판막 협착은 4명 발생하였고, 이들의 Z value는 각각 -3.8, -3.8, -2.9, -1.8이었으며 3명은 재수술, 1 명은 풍선 판막 성형술을 시행하여 교정하였다. 결론: 팔로네징후의 완전교정술을 시행하였을 때 경판륜 우심실 유출로 재건술을 시행한 그룹은 폐동맥 판막 역류가 현저하게 많았다. 비경판률 재건을 시행하는 경우 우심실 유출로의 폐동맥 판륜 크기를 Z value -1.5 에서 0사이가 되도록 재건하고 1.5 이하인 경우에는 폐동맥 판막 협착 가능성에 대한 면밀한 추적 관찰을 시행하는 것이 필요하다.

Recently, surgical outcomes of repair of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) have improved. For patients with TOF older than 3 months, primary repair has been advocated regardless of symptoms. However, a surgical approach to symptomatic TOF in neonates or very young infants remains elusive. Traditionally, there have been two surgical options for these patients: primary repair versus an initial aortopulmonary shunt followed by repair. Early primary repair provides several advantages, including avoidance of shunt-related complications, early relief of hypoxia, promotion of normal lung development, avoidance of ventricular hypertrophy and fibrosis, and psychological comfort to the family. Because of advances in cardiopulmonary bypass techniques and accumulated experience in neonatal cardiac surgery, primary repair in neonates with TOF has been performed with excellent early outcomes (early mortality<5%), which may be superior to the outcomes of aortopulmonary shunting. A remaining question regarding surgical options is whether shunts can preserve the pulmonary valve annulus for TOF neonates with pulmonary stenosis. Symptomatic neonates and older infants have different anatomies of right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) obstructions, which in neonates are nearly always caused by a hypoplastic pulmonary valve annulus instead of infundibular obstruction. Therefore, a shunt is less likely to preserve the pulmonary valve annulus than is primary repair. Primary repair of TOF can be performed safely in most symptomatic neonates. Patients who have had primary repair should be closely followed up to evaluate the RVOT pathology and right ventricular function.

A 8-year-old boy underwent surgical correction of complete transposition S.D.D. of great arteries combined with subaortic ventricular septal defect and pulmonary stenosis [infundibular and valvular]. The operation consisted of an internal baffling connecting the left ventricle to the aorta through the ventricular septal defect. The pulmonary stenosis was corrected with the method of external connection, the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery using the conduit valve [20 mm] contained Hancock due to abnormal distribution of left coronary artery of which conduit due to abnormal distribution of left coronary artery of which the circumflex branch crossed the portion of right ventricular outflow tract. This case was suitable for corrective surgery-Rastelli operation-and the patient`s condition in very good until present [post-operative 5 months].

The experience with operative treatment for total correction of Tetralogy of Fallot at the department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Korea University Hospital from January, 1977, through April, 1983 was reviewed. Of the 29 patients reviewed, male to female occurrence ratio was 22:7 Type of V.S.D. was type II in 26 cases[90%] and total conus defect in 3 cases[10%]. Average size of V.S.D. was 19 mm. Type of Right ventricular outflow tract stenosis was highest frequency with pulmonary valvular and infundibular stenosis combined type in 21 cases[72%], and there were 8 deaths In this group. Type of R.V.O.T. reconstruction contains 2 cases of infundibulectomy only, 1 case of infundibulectomy with valvular commissurotomy, 2 cases of pericardial patch, 23 Cases of pericardial patch with Teflon or Dacron felt reinforced and 1 case of pulmonary valved conduit reconstruction. Operative mortality was higher in outflow patch through pulmonary valve ring. Overall mortality was 31%. Major causes of death and postoperative complications were low output syndrome, complete A-V block acute renal failure, ventricular fibrillation, bleeding brain abscess, and sudden cardiac arrest.
