심내기형을 동반한 대동맥궁 단절은 매우 중한 자연경과를 갖고 있는 희귀한 선천성 심장 기형이다. 식도 폐쇄증과 기관 식도루를 동반한 심첨부 근육성 심실 중격 결손과 대동맥궁 단절을 생후 3일된 체중 2.6 kg의 신생아에서 단계적 수술법으로 치료한 경험을 보고한다. 1차 수술로서 우측 개흉술을 통한 식도 폐쇄증의 교정과 함께 좌측 개흉술에 의한 대동맥궁 광범위 단-단 문합술 및 폐동맥 교약술을 시행하였다. 1차 수술 후 87일째 정중 흉골 절개를 통해 심첨부 근육성 심실 중격 결손을 폐쇄하였다. 심실 중격 결손 폐쇄 전 유문부 근육절개술, 대동맥 전방고정술, 대동맥 풍선확장술 등의 추가 시술이 필요하였다. 최종 수술 후 3개월째 양호한 추적 결과를 경험하였기에 보고하는 바이다.

경북대학교병원 흉부외과학교실에서 1982년 4월부터 1995년 3월사이에 개심술을 시행하였던 좌심실-우심방 단락 12례에 대한 치료경험을 보고한다. 환자들의 연령은 3세에서 26세까지로, 평균연령은 8.5세 이 었고, 성별은 남자가 7명, 여자가 5명이었다. 술전의 단순흉부 X-선소견상 심흉비의 평균치는 0.59이었고, 폐혈관음영의 증가가 3례, 우심방의 확장이 4례에서 있었다. 기록을 확인할 수 있었던 9례에서의 술전 심초음파검사소견에 의하면, 진단명은 좌심실-우심방 단락 2례, 심실중격결손 6례 및 심방중격 결손 1례로 되어 있었다. 따라서 이 검사에 의한 좌심실-우심방판락의 진단률은 22.2%(219)였다. 술전의 심혈 관조영소견으로는, 좌심실-우심방 단락 5례, 심실중격결손 5례, 심방중격결손 1례, 그리고 심실중격 결손 및 심방중격결손 1례로 진단되었다. 그러므로 이 검사에 의한 진단률은 41.6% (5112)였다. 수술소견상, 좌심실-우심방 단락의 형태는 판막상부형 결손 5례(42%), 판막하부형 결손4례(33%)및 복합형 결손3 례 (25%)로 분류되었다. 한편 판막하부형 결손례들은 모두 삼첨 판막 중격엽의 이상을 동반하고 있었는데, 즉 천공이 3례, 구열\ulcorner 1례에서 있었다. 그러나 판막상부형이나 복합형 결손에서는 삼첨판의 이상은 볼 수 없었다. 수술은 1례를 제외하고는 모두 우심방절개하에 결손부의 일차봉합을 시행하였고, 수술사 망례는 없었다. 그러나 잔존 심실중격 결손이 1례에서 발견되어 술후 6개월에 재수술을 시행하여 완치되었다. 그밖의 환자들에서의 술후 경과는 모두 양호하였다.

Double-chambered right ventricle [DCRV] is a rare congenital heart disease caused by anomalous muscle bundle traversing the sinus portion of the right ventricle well beneath the infundibulum. Recently we have experienced a case of DCRV with ventricular septal defect in 7-year old male patient. Preoperative cardiac catheterization and cineangiography revealed 80 mmHg pressure gradient between the proximal and distal chamber of the right ventricle and diagonal shape filling defect by the anomalous muscle bundle in the sinus portion of the right ventricle. Resection of the anomalous muscle bundle and patch closure of the ventricular septal defect was performed with cardiopulmonary bypass. The postoperative course was uneventful and excellent.

A modified Fontan procedure was performed on two patients with Univentricular heart. The first patient had UVH of right ventricular type with trabecular pouch and had various associated anomalies, such as common atrium, common atrioventricular valve and combined pulmonary stenosis. The second patient had UVH of left ventricular type with outlet chamber and the associated anomalies were atrial septal defect, tricuspid stenosis and combined pulmonary stenosis. Postoperative hemodynamic insufficiency, fluid retention and renal insufficiency were occurred in the first patient, but relieved with the aid of inotropics and vasodilators. We thought that the good postoperative course and surgical result were gained from the widely patent atriopulmonary anastomosis.

From April, 1984 to August, 1986, 214 cases of cardiovascular surgeries had been performed at Yeungnam University Hospital consisting 158 open heart surgeries and 56 non-open heart surgeries. The leading cardiac anomaly of open heart surgeries was ventricular septal defect which was 43% of congenital heart diseases, and most of remaining non-open heart surgeries were ligating patent ductus arteriosus. We had observed 33 postoperative complications such as wound problems, transient arrhythmia, postpericardiotomy syndrome, bleeding requiring reoperation and so on. 3 cases of surgical mortality were present [2 in congenital heart diseases and 1 in acquired heart disease], which resulting 1.9% of surgical mortality rate in the open heart surgeries.

We report a case of vegetation in a 4-year-old female with infective endocarditis, diagnosed by late gadolinium-enhanced (LGE) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging. The patient had a history of primary closure for ventricular septal defect and presented with mild febrile sensation. No remarkable clinical symptoms or laboratory findings were noted; however, transthoracic echocardiography demonstrated a 14 mm highly mobile homogeneous mass in the right ventricle. On LGE CMR imaging, the mass showed marginal rim enhancement, which suggested the diagnosis of vegetation rather than thrombus. The extracellular volume fraction (${\geq}42%$) of the lesion was higher than that of normal myocardium. Based on the patient's clinical history of congenital heart disease and pathologic confirmation of the lesion, a diagnosis of infective endocarditis with vegetation was made.

This is one case report of surgically treated ventricular septal defect [VSD] with aortic insufficiency [AI] at department of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, Hanyang university hospital. He had had progressive dyspnea on exertion and palpitation for 3 years prior to admission to our hospital. On examination, the blood pressure was 120/0 mmHg and the pulse rate 88 times/min. Bobbing motion of the head, Water hammer pulse, Corringan`s pulse, Quincke`s pulse and to and fro murmur were present. The heart murmur was consistent with .VSD and AI. Cardiomegaly was seen in chest X-ray. EKG, echocardiogram, aortogram and right heart catheterization was performed. On Sep. 9, 1980, open heart surgery was performed under the impression of VSD with AI. Infracrystal type VSD measuring 2 x 1.5 cm in diameter was closed with Teflon patch graft through the transverse ventriculotomy. AI was due to prolapsed, elongated right coronary and noncoronary cusp, especially noncoronary cusp. The prolapsed, elongated aortic leaflets were plicated by placing three 8-figure sutures between the free edge and the base of the leaflet [Frater`s method] through a transverse aortotomy. Postoperatively, he made an uneventful recovery, his blood pressure was 120/70 mmHg and showed no signs AI or residual shunt at discharge.

We report a case of a postinfarction ventricular septal defect caused by an acute recurrent occlusion after the implantation of a covered stent, which was performed as a rescue procedure for the ruptured left anterior descending artery during a percutaneous coronary intervention. Although the emergent implantation of a covered stent for the ruptured coronary arteries such as the left main coronary artery or the origins of the left anterior descending artery can be performed during a percutaneous coronary intervention, and a coronary bypass surgery should be considered in order to decrease the risk of complete occlusion, thus providing a superior long term patency.

Over the last several decades there has been a remarkable change in the therapeutic strategy of congenital heart disease. Development of new tools and devices, accumulations of experience, technical refinement have positively affected the outcome of interventional treatment. Many procedures including atrial septostomy, balloon valvuloplasty, balloon dilation of stenotic vessel with or without stent implantation, transcatheter occlusion of abnormal vascular structure, transcatheter closure of patent arterial duct and atrial septal defect, are now performed as routine interventional procedures in many institutes. In diverse conditions, transcatheter techniques also provide complementary and additive role in combination with surgery. Intraoperative stent implantation on stenotic vessels, perventricular device insertion, and hybrid stage 1 palliative procedure for hypoplastic left heart syndrome have been employed in high risk patients for cardiac surgery with encouraging results. Transcatheter closure of ventricular septal defect has been performed safely showing comparable result with surgery. Investigational procedures such as percutaneous valve insertion and valve repair are expected to replace the role of surgery in certain group of patients in the near future. Continuous evolvement in this field will contribute to reduce the risk and suffering from congenital heart disease, while surgery will be still remained as a gold standard for significant portion of congenital heart disease.
