Coronary arteriovenous fistula is a relatively rare congenital heart disease and it drains into right atrium, right ventricle, pulmonary artery, coronary sinus or superior vena cava. We experienced one case of fistulous communication between right coronary artery and right ventricle which was most common condition. The patient was a 12 year old female and the only sign was continuous cardiac murmur. The cardiac catheterization and coronary angiography showed the fistulous communication between right coronary artery and right ventricle and aneurysmal dilatation of right coronary artery. Under the cardiopulmonary bypass with the hypothermic cardioplegia, fistula opening[7mm] which was located at right ventricle below the tricuspid valve annulus between septal and posterior leaflet was closed with 4 - 0 prolene continuous suture through right ventriculotomy. Her postoperative course was uneventful.

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.

해면상 혈관종은 종격동에 발생한 혈관종중 가장 많은 형태로 주로 전종격동에 발생하고 그 빈도가 매우 드물다. 환자는 13세된 여아로 우연히 발견된 종격동 종괴로 수술적 절제를 하여 해면상 혈관종으로 판명되었다. 술후 추적한 x-ray 검사상 재발의 소견이 없으며 수술적치료시 너무 광범위한 무리한 박리와 절제는 필요하지 않을 것으로 보인다.

양측성 횡격막 마비는 드문 질환으로 외상, 심흉부 수술, 신경근육질병, 경부척추굳음증, 감염이 원인이 될 수 있다. 우폐상엽, 심낭, 상대정맥과 무명정맥을 침범한 흉선암의 적출술을 시행한 후 60세 남자 환자에서 양측성 횡격막 마비가 발생하였다. 심한 호흡곤란이 발생하였고, 인공호흡기 이탈이 불가능하였다. 양측 횡격막 주름성형술을 시행하였고, 인공호흡기 이탈 및 누운 자세에서 수면이 가능하게 되어 만족할 만한 결과를 얻었기에 문헌 보고하는 바이다.

Dissecting aortic aneurysm of ascending aorta is a life threatening condition which requires prompt surgical correction. With deep hypothermic circulatory arrest and retrograde cerebral perfusion via superior vena cava, we could replaced ascending aorta in 4 cases safely. All of 4 cases; femoral artery, right auricle were used as cannulation site. The duration of circulatory arrest were 28, 30, 45, 60 minute in each cases and rectal temperature was 2$0^{\circ}C$ at that time. At the time of retrograde cerebral perfusion, we maintained central venous pressure under 25mmHg. We resected all of dissecting portion and replaced it with Hemashield graft. There were no deaths but two of four reoperated because of bleeding.

Sinus venosus type atrial septal defect is commonly associated with partial anomalous pulmonary venous return[PAPVR . Ideal surgical repair of sinus venosus ASD with PAPVR demands complete closure of septal defect with redirection of the anomalous pulmonary venous return to the left atrium without obstructing the superior vena cava[SVC or the anomalous pulmonary vein and without injury of sinoatrial node and residual shunt. In our two patients, the closure of sinus venosus ASD and correction of PAPVR could be accomplished by simple direct sutures without using a patch or flap. Both patients had a good outcome.

Subannular aortic aneurysm is a word-wide rare disease entity occurring predominantly in young black men. In Korea, there has been no report. We report one patient, 46 years old man, who had been operated urgently because of acute aortic insufficiency and aortic valvular vegetation after antibiotics treatment of Subacute bacterial endocarditis for 6wks. At the operative field, We found the bulging aneurysmal mass between the aorta and superior vena cava above the right pulmonary artery, which has subannular communicating opening into the left ventricular cavity, beneath the anterior commissure of the bicuspid aortic valve. Pathologic findings are consistent with "portion of vascular wall with features of aneurysm.* The patients survived aortic valve replacement and patch closure of subannular aneurysm, with no symptoms at one-year postoperative follow-up.w-up.

승모판막의 수술 시 승모판막에 접근하는 방법으로는 심방간 구(interatrial groove)를 따라 좌심방 절재를 통하거나 우심방을 절개한 후 타원오목(fossa ovalis)의 하변에서 심방중격을 절개하여 접근하는 방법이 대부분이다. 또 다른 방법으로는 상행 대동맥과 상대정맥 사이에 위치하고 있는 좌심방 Dome을 통해 승모판막으로 접근하는 방법이다. 비록 30년 전 좌심방 Dome을 통한 접근방법이 소개되었지만 널리 사용되지는 않았다. 저자들은 최근 승모판막 수술 시 좌심방 Dome을 통한 접근방법으로 효과적인 수술을 시행하였기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 소개하고자 한다.

Congenital coronary arteriovenous fistula is a communication of a coronary artery with one of the atria, ventricles, the coronary sinus, the superior vena cava, or the pulmonary artery. We had a successful surgical experience with 63 year-old-female patient who complained substernal chest pain on exertion for 8 years. On auscultation, a continuous murmur was heard at the left second to third intercostal space along the left sternal border. The right cardiac catheterization was revealed to 4% oxygen step up between right ventricle to main pulmonary artery, and Qp/Qs was 1.3:1. The selective coronary arteriography showed markedly tortuous dilated vessel which originated from left coronary artery draining into the main pulmonary artery. The operation performed to mid portion of tortuous and dilated fistula by multiple ligation with 3-0 Mersilene and suture ligation with pledgetted 3-0 Prolene on distal draining site, Postoperative course were uneventful without any symptoms and complications.

This is case report of total anomalous pulmonary venous return with atrial septal defect which were corrected surgically by intracardiac procedure under total cardiopulmonary bypass.Two patients were supracardiac type,cardiac and mixed type was each one.The mixed type was three years old female patient.She was diagnosed as atrial septal defect with partial anomalous pulmonary venous return[right pulmonary vein drains into superior vena cava and right atrium] and corrected as usual.After operation,she underwent exertional dyspnea and frequent tachycardia.Chest x-ray film showed pulmonary congestion.Follow up cardiac cineangiogram revealed that left pulmonary vein also anomalously drained into left innominate vein through vertical vein.Through left thoracotomy,anastomosis was successfully carried between left atrium and vertical vein without cardiopulmonary bypass and there was no sign of pulmonary artery obstruction for two years follow up.The other three patient were corrected successfully without complication and got good result.
