배경: 심방중격결손증은 선천성심질환중 가장 흔한 질환중의 하나이며 성인에서 진단되는 선천성 심질환 의 30%를 차지한다. 상당수의 환자들이 성인이 될때까지 별다른 증상이 없이 잘 지내기도 하고, 40∼50대에 사망 하는 경우가 많지만, 더 오래 사는 경우도 흔히 발견된다. 가장 흔한 사망원인은 주로 우심부전이나 부정맥이다. 대상 및 방법: 강북삼성병원 흉부외과에서는 1988년부터 1997년 6월까지 총33례의 심방중격결손증을 수술 하였으며, 그중 31례가 성인 심방중격결손증이었다. 동반질환은 삼첨판 폐쇄부전이 2례, 폐동맥판 협착증, 승모판 폐쇄부전 및 삼첨판 폐쇄부전, 그리고 관상동맥질환이 각각 1례였다. 결과: 모든환자에서 첩포봉합술이나 직접봉합술을 이용하여 수술하였으며, 수술후 경과는 모두 양호하였다. 수술후 심전도와 혈류역학, 및 심초음파검사상 호전을 보였다. 결론: 성인의 심방중격결손증은 60세이상의 고령일지라도 폐동맥고혈압이나 우심부전, 부정맥등을 예방 하기 위한 적극적인 외과교정술을 시행하여야 한다

심한 폐동맥고혈압증을 동반한 심실중격결손증을 교정하는 수술은 술후 높은 사망률 때문에 외과의에게 많은 어려움이 있다.. 최근에 술후 급성 우심부전이 발생시 우좌혈류단락이 가능하여 심혈류역학을 개선하는 일방성 판막 팻취를 이용한 수술이 안전한 수술법으로 보고되고 있다. 환자는 20 년 전에 선천성심질환을 진단을 받은 바 있으며, 내원 3 개월 전부터 운동성 호흡곤란이 발생하였고, 정밀검사상 심한 폐동맥 고혈압증을 동반한 심실중격결손증으로 진단되었다. 저자등은 심실중격결손을 첨포를 이용하여 폐쇄하는 대신에 술 후 우심실부전을 예방하는 일방성 판막 팻취를 이용하여 결손을 교정하였다. 환자는 건강한 상태로 술 후 14 일째 퇴원하였으며, 일방성 판막 개구부는 술 후 9 개월에 자연 폐쇄되었고, 12 개월 양호한 상태를 유지하고 있다.

This report describes our 17-years experience with intracardiac repair in 123 patients older than 15 years with tetralogy of Fallot. Major clinical manifestation was cyanosis and clubbing [102 Pts], but other minor associated manifestation were infective endocarditis, pulmonary tuberculosis, brain abscess, congestive heart failure, nephrotic syndrome, and tuberculous spondylitis. Prior palliative shunts had been performed in 10 patients. Preoperative hemoglobin ranged from 9.7 gm/dl to 25 gm/dl [mean 19 gm/dl]. The type of ventricular septal defect were typical perimembranous type, and total canal defect [13%]. The right ventricular outflow tract obstruction was due to combined [58.5%], infundibular [35%], and valvular stenosis [6.5%]. Transannular patch was used in 17% of patients. Hospital mortality was 9.8% in overall, but decreased to 1.7% since 1982. There was two late death [12 year actuarial survival [97%] due to fulminant hepatitis, residual abnormalities [PS, VSD]. Ninety two percent of survivors at follow-up are asymptomatic and leading an active normal life. Residual ventricular septal defect was detected with radionuclide single pass study in 15.3% of patients but almost cases were Qp/Qs less than 1.5, and only two patients had been candidates for reoperation.

일반적으로 활로씨 4증에서의 심실 중격 결손은 보통 대동맥 판막륜의 크기와 같거나 크고 제한적이지 않다. 또한 심실 중격 결손을 통한 단락의 방향은 양방향성 또는 우-좌 단락인 경우가 대부분이다. 이러한 활로씨 4증에서 섬유성 조직의 성장으로 인한 제한적 심실 중격 결손은 드물게 보고되고 있다. 저자들은 활로씨 4증에서의 섬유성 조직으로 인한 제한적 심실 중격 결손과 좌심실 유출로 협착을 보였던 환아에 대한 완전 교정술 치험 1예를 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고한다.

1983년 3월부터 1994년 6월까지 22명의 환자에게 관상동맥 우회로 조성수술과 병행한 개심수술을 시행하였다. 대상환자들의 연령은 42세에서 72세 사이로 평균 60.4$\pm$8.2세였다. 이중 17명의 환자가 남자였고, 여자환자는 5명이 었다. 좌심실 박출계수는 25%에서 65% 사이로 평균 46.9 $\pm$ 14.2%였다. 22명의 대상환자중 9명이 심근경색증의 합병증으로 발생한 기계적인 장애를 동반하고 있었으며, 이중 5명은 좌심실류, 3명은 심실중격 결손 그리고 1명은 유두근 파열에 의한승모판 폐쇄부전증이 롱반되었다. 나머지 대상환자중 9명은 류마티스성 판막질환(대동맥판막 질환 7명, 승모판막 질환 2명)을 동반하였고, 2명은 좌심방혈전, 1명은 심방중격 결손 그리고 1명은 상행대동맥류를 동반하였다. 관상동맥 이식 편수는 1개에서 4개 사이로 평균 2.1$\pm$1.0개였다 수술후 합병증은 3명에서 발생하였으며, 이중 2명은 수술전후 심근경색증, 1명은 하지의 창상감염이었다. 수술사망은 1명에서 발생하였으며, 사망원인은 수술전후 심근경색증에 의한 저심박출량에 기인하였다. 추적조사 기간은 3개월에서 136개월 사이로 평균 41.1$\pm$ 40.2개월이었으며, 이기간 동안 1명\ulcorner 사망하였다. 사망원인은 뇌출혈이었다. 장기생존한 20명의 New York Heart Association functional class는 모두 I과 II였다. 비록 대상환자의 수가 적다고는 하지만 저자들의 수술결과는 양호한 것으로, 따라서 저자들은 관상동맥 우회로 조성수술을 병행한 개심수술이 수술위험도가 높지 않으면서 만기 사망율도 줄일 수 있을 것으로 생각한다.

A cosmetic incision for minimal invasive cardiac surgery is described. Through a small submammary skin incision combined with partial low sternotomy some kinds of cardiac operations are possible without extra-difficulty but with excellent cosmetic effect, No special instruments nor techniques are required. By this method routine cannulations for cardiopulmonary bypass as well as aortic cross clamping bicaval snaring and venting of cardiac chambers are possible, We performed 5 cases of open heart surgeries using this approach which includes two cases of atrial septal defect closure one case of ventricular septal defect closure one case of pulmonic valvotomy and one case of mitral valve replacement.

Two hundred and six cases of open heart surgery were done with over all mortality of 8.3% during 1978 in this Department. There were 130 congenital and 76 acquired cases. In congenital anomaly 58 cases were acyanotic and 72 cyanotic, which showed 3.4% and 12.5% of operative mortality respectively. Thirty-six cases of ventricular septal defect and 10 atrial septal defect were repaired without mortality but in 60 cases of tetralogy of Fallot it was 10%. In 76 cases of acquired lesions 74 were valvular cases. There were 75 cases of valve replacement with over all operative mortality of 8%. In 75-valve replacement one case of Ebstein anomaly was found. There were 62 cases of single valve and 13 double valve replacement. In every case tissue valve was utilized and coumadin and Persantin 75 were administered as anticoagulant treatment for one year.

Double outlet right ventricle (DORV) and transposition of the great arteries (TGA) with ventricular septal defect (VSD) and pulmonary stenosis (PS) are complex heart diseases, the treatment of which remains a surgical challenge. The Rastelli procedure is still the most commonly performed treatment. Aortic root translocation including an arterial switch operation is advantageous anatomically since it has a lower possibility of conduit blockage and the left ventricle outflow tract remains straight. This study reports successful aortic root transpositions in two patients, one with DORV with VSD and PS and one with TGA with VSD and PS. Both patients were discharged without postoperative complications.

A 2-year-old, spayed female, American shorthair cat presented with acute weight loss, tachypnea, and dyspnea. The cat had grade V holosystolic murmur and systemic hypotension. Echocardiography showed a 9 mm defect in the ventricular septum, left-to-right dominant bi-directional shunt, right ventricular hypertrophy, pulmonary stenosis, pulmonary hypertension, and overriding aorta. The cat was diagnosed with a Tetralogy of Fallot. The cat was treated with furosemide, pimobendan, ramipril, and sildenafil. Treatment reduced pulmonary infiltration, pulmonary vessel enlargement, and main pulmonary artery bulging. However, right-to-left flow increased over time and right ventricular outflow tract velocity was elevated. Currently, the patient has maintained an improved state for 1 year. This case report described a severe inherited feline Tetralogy of Fallot case that was successfully managed for a long time.

Background: Postinfarction ventricular septal defects (pVSDs) are a serious complication of acute myocardial infarctions. The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical outcomes of the surgical treatment of pVSDs. Methods: The medical records of 23 patients who underwent operations (infarct exclusion in 21 patients and patch closure in two patients) to treat acute pVSDs from 2001 to 2011 were analyzed. Intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation was performed in 19 patients (82.6%), one of whom required extracorporeal membrane support due to cardiogenic shock. The mean follow-up duration was $26.2{\pm}18.6months$. Results: The in-hospital mortality rate was 4.3% (1/23). Residual shunts were found in seven patients and three patients required reoperation. One patient needed reoperation due to the transformation of an intracardiac hematoma into an abscess. No patients required reoperation due to recurrence of a ventricular septal defect during the follow-up period. The cumulative survival rate was 95.5% at one year, 82.0% at five years, and 65.6% at seven years. Conclusion: The use of a multiple-patch technique with sealants appears to be a reliable method of reducing early mortality and the risk of significant residual shunting in patients with pVSDs.
