A 8 year old male was admitted to the Department of Thoracic Surgery, Korea University Hospital on June 22, 1978. The chief complaints were cyanosis and exertional dyspnea since at birth. EKG shows BVH and dextrocardia, phonocardiogram revealed the accentuation of second heart sound in aortic area. Echocardiogram from the left ventricle to the base of the heart, there is a discontinuity between the ventricular septum and the anterior aortic margin with a large aortic root & aortic overriding. His cardiac catheterization data and cardiac angiogram shows situs inversus totalis, dextrocardia, right aortic arch, large ventricular septal defect etc., and finally diagnosed Truncus Arteriosus. Edwards type IV with retrograde aortogram and selective bronchial angiogram. This is the first operative case reported as Rastelli operation for Truncus Arteriosus type IV in the literatures in Korea. Authors have experienced I case of Truncus Arteriosus, Edward type IV and Rastelli operation with Dacron Arterial Conduit Graft under cardiopulmonary bypass on July 3, 1978. The procedures were as follows; 2] Cardiopulmonary bypass: Origin of bronchial arteries excised from descending aorta bilaterally; defects in aorta closed. 2] Horizontal incision made high in right ventricle. 2] Ventricular septal defect [Kirklin type I+II] closed with Teflon patch. 4] Bifurcated dacron arterial graft with pericardial monocusp sutured to the bilateral pulmonary arteries. [Diameter 9 mm: Length 7 cm]. 5] Proximal end of the conduit graft anastomosed to right ventricle. [Diameter 19 mm: Length 5 cm]..Total perfusion time was 220 min. The result of operation was poor due to anastomotic leakage and increased pulmonary vascular resistance resulting acute right heart failure. The patient was died on the operation table. Literatures were briefly reviewed.

Recently, 4 cases underwent successful surgical correction of tetralogy of Fallot combined with pulmonary atresia in 2 cases, with abnormal coronary artery in another 2 cases. The operation consisted of a patch repair to the ventricular septal defect. The pulmonary atresia and stenosis were corrected with the method of external connection, from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery using the valved conduits.

The development of extracardiac valved conduits for establishment of RV-PA continuity has permitted repair of previously uncorrectable congenital heart anomalies and has facilitated the repair of other complex lesions. But the distressing problem of neointimal peel formation with eventual conduit obstruction in patients with Dacron valved conduits has led to the need for premature replacement in many patients. Therefore in the absence of pulmonary hypertension, hypoplastic pulmonary arteries, significant right ventricular dysfunction or unrepaired tricuspid regurgitation, preference of a valveless conduit to a valved conduit gives excellent results and may diminish the need for late reoperation. In our Hanyang University Hospital, the Rastelli operation was performed for the repair of pulmonary atresia with a valveless Gore-Tex conduit. The patient was operated on with good result. The CVP after operation was 8-13 mmHg at POD #0 and 4-6 mmHg from POD #3-4. Postoperatively the patient was acyanotic and had improved physical capacity compared with his preoperative status.

Rastelli operation in which right ventricle[RV and pulmonary artery[PA is connected with an artificial graft is effective in increasing the pulmonary blood flow in certain types of congenital heart disease but, in many, it requires a reoperation because of the relative stenosis of graft that develops as the patients become old. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the various factors which many influence the long term outcome of such patients following a Rastelli operation. A total of 47 patients underwent a Rastelli operation during a 15 year period between November, 1978 and October 1993. The mean follow-up period is 76.1 51.3 months.1 Among the 47 patients, a valved conduit was used in 30[63.8% , and non-valved conduit in 17[36.2% patients. In the 8 patients[17.0% who died postoperatively, a valved conduit was used in 5 [16.6% and a non-valved conduit in 3[17.6% . There was no statistical difference in mortality between the 2 groups. There was a good linear correlation between the body surface area[X and the conduit size[Y [Y=3.86X + 14.6, R=0.55, P=0.01 .2 Ten patients underwent replacement of the conduit during the follow-up period. The type of conduit used and the frequency of subsequent replacement were as follows: Ionescu-Shiley, valved-33.3%, Carpentier-Edwards, valved-30.8%, Hancock, valved-80% and non-valved conduit-9.1%. The median period free of reoperation was 110 months for the valved and 79 months for the non-valved group, there being no statistical difference between the 2 groups. 3 The patients who did not require reoperation are all doing well [New York Heart Association Functional Classification: Class I . Pressure gradient between the RV and the PA was 20 mmHg in 10 randomly selected patients who did not require reoperation and 92 9 mmHg in 10 patients who did require reoperation.4 In the 10 patients who underwent a conduit replacement procedure.5 Among patients undergoing reoperation, 2 died from endocarditis.The remaining 8 patients are doing well without limitation in physical activity at a mean follow-up period of 32.7 33.9 months [range 2 to 89 months . 6 At 5, 7, and 10 years, the reoperation-free rates among all patients were 96%, 91% and 29% and the survival rates were 82%, 82% and 71%. In conclusion, Rastelli operation is an effective procedure in ameliorating symptoms in a select group of patients with congenital heart disease. Because of the inherent nature of relative graft stenosis and degeneration, a long-term follow-up is required under the proper selection of the graft material.

Corrected transposition of great arteries associated with dextrocardia [I.D.D.] is a very rare congenital cardiac malformation in which the atria and ventricles are in discordant relation, as are the ventricles and great arteries, but the aorta is to the right of the pulmonary artery. A 13 year old male patient who complained cyanosis and dyspnea on exertion for 8 years, was diagnosed as congenitally corrected transposition of great arteries associated with dextrocardia [I.D.D.], large ventricular septal defect, patent foramen ovale and pulmonary stenosis. He was operated on Nov. 22 1978. The ventricular septal defect was closed with Teflon felt and the pulmonary hypoplasia was corrected with Rastelli operation successfully. On 34th postoperative days, complete heart block was occurred and permanent epicardial pacemaker was implanted with good result.

Transposition of great arteries is relatively common cyanotic heart disease excluding TOF and is divided to two groups: complete TGA and congenitally corrected TGA. We experienced operations in 3 cases of TGA, the 1st case was 12 year-old male: TGA[SDD] + VSD+PS and treated with Rastelli`s operation, but expired due to low cardiac output syndrome postoperatively. The 2nd case,13 year-old male was also TGA[SDD]+VSD+PS and treated with Rastelli`s operation with good operative result. The 3rd case was 18-year old male: congenitally corrected TGA[SLL]+VSD+ PA+ASD and operation was done according to the met. hod reported by Danielson et al in 1980. Post-operative AV block led to implantation of permanent epicardial pacemaker with good result.

배경: 선천성 심장병에서 라스텔리 수술은 일반적으로 동종 혹은 이종의 조직판막을 이용하게 되며 이 경우 장기적으로 재수술이 요구된다. 반면 기계판막을 이용하여 라스텔리 수술은 보고가 많지 않으며 이번 연구는 이들 환자에서의 장기 성적을 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1990년 1월부터 1992년 7월까지 기계판막을 이용한 라스텔리 수술을 받은 20명의 환자 중 조기 사망 1명을 제외한 19명의 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 기저질환으로는 교정된 대혈관전위증 4예, 대혈관전위증 2예, 심실중격결손을 동반한 폐동맥폐쇄증 9예, 총동맥간 2예, 양대혈관우심실기시증에 동반된 폐동맥협착증 2예였다. 수술 당시의 평균 연령은 $4.6{\pm}3.4$년이며, 남녀비는 1.11:1이었다. 사용한 판막으로는 Carbomedics 16예, Bjork-Shiley 3예였으며 평균 크기는 $17{\pm}2mm$였다. 평균 추적관찰 기간은 $12.8{\pm}2.7$년이었다. 결과: 19명 중 15명은 판막 도관에 대한 재수술을 받았으며, 재수술까지의 평균 기간은 $5.3{\pm}4.7$년이었다. 재수술 시에는 전부 조직판막을 사용하였다. 5 yr freedom from reoperation은 53%, 10 yr freedom from reoperation은 37%였다. 항응고 치료는 와파린과 아스피린, 다이피리다몰을 사용하였으며 PT INR수준은 1.5에서 2.0으로 유지하였고, 심각한 수준의 출혈성 부작용이나 색전에 의한 부작용은 발생하지 않았다. 술 후 3년을 기준으로 이전과 이후의 판막도관의 실패원인에서 차이를 보였다. 3년 이전에 재수술을 받은 환자군(총 6예)을 분석하였을 때, 전부에서 판막 자체의 움직임에 제한이 있었으며, 그 중 3예에서는 혈전에 의한 움직임 장애, 3예에서는 pannus 또는 fibromyxoid plaque에 의한 움직임 장애였다. 반면, 3년 이후에 재수술을 시행받은 9예에서는 1예를 제외하고 전부에서 도관 협착이 있었으며 판막 움직임은 정상이었다. 결론: 기계판막을 이용하여 라스텔리 수술의 경우 장기 성적을 좋게 하기 위해서 초기에는 엄격한 항응고 치료가 요구되며 장기적으로는 도관재질의 개선을 요구된다. 일부 환자에서는 10년 이상 특별한 문제없이 사용이 가능하였다.

There is tendency of increasing number and decreasing age of patients who are indicated for Rastelli operation for their cyanotic congenital heart disease. So there is the need to find the criterion which saves the patients from early postoperative hemodynamic disturbances. We reviewed the 26 patients who had been performed Rastelli operation at Seoul national University Hospital from January 1981 to June 1988. mean age of the patients was 7.8*3.4 years[range 2.5-15years], mean body surface area[BSA] 0.79*0.25m2[range 0.49-1.51m2] and mean hematocrit 57.95*12%[range 48-80%]. We divided these patients into survived group and died group before postoperative 72 hours, and analyzed preoperative arterial oxygen saturation[SaO2], the ratio of diameter of right pulmonary artery to ascending aorta[RPA/AA], the ratio of both right and left pulmonary artery diameter to descending thoracic aorta[RPA+LPA/DTA], pulmonary artery index[PA index], cardiopulmonary bypass time, aorta cross-clamping time, postoperative perfusion state and total amount of dopamine infused postoperatively. The results showed that RPA+LPA/DTA and PA index were statistically significant factors to influence early postoperative cardiac death rate[P< 0.05]. Especially there were good linear correlations between PA index[X] and peripheral perfusion index[Y][Y= - 1.15+0.02 X, r=0.86, P<0.01]and between PA index[X] and total amount of dopamine infused before postoperative 72 hours[mg/kg, Y][Y=61.94 - 0.15 X, r=-0.80, P < 0.01]. Also there were tendencies that the higher RPA+LPA/DTA[Y], the better peripheral perfusion [X] and the lower need of dopamine[X], but no statistical significance.[Y=0.78+1.60 X, r =0. 49, P >0.05] And the discriminate analysis showed that patients with PA index over 221 mm2/BSA could undergo correction with 25 per cent of error rate. In conclusion, early postoperative hemodynamic states could be predicted by preoperatively measured PA index, and which can be used as a criterion for Rastelli operation performed on cyanotic congenital heart disease.
