A 6 year-old, spayed female, Maltese dog was presented with precordial thrill and mild coughing. Thoracic auscultation revealed a grade V/VI systolic murmur with maximal intensity over the left apex characterized by musical murmur. Echocardiography revealed mild myxomatous degeneration of mitral valve and ruptured chordae tendineae. Musical murmur was produced due to the vibration of ruptured piece of chordae tendineae along with regurgitant flow. After treatment with furosemide and ramipril, clinical signs resolved and precordial thrill reduced. This case report describes typical clinical signs and phonocardiogram of musical murmur in a dog with acute chordae tendineae rupture.

10 patients with mitral regurgitation associated with various congenital cardiac anomalies were treated by reconstructive techniques in the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Hanyang University Hospital during the period of 2 years from 1982 to 1984. There were mitral valvular cleft in one case, chordae tendineae rupture associated with congenital multiple cardiac-anomalies [VSD, PDA, prolapse of aortic non-coronary cusp through VSD] in one case, elongated chordae tendineae after removal of left atrial myxoma in one case, and mitral annular dilatation associated with VSD in 3 cases, large PDA in 2 cases, aortic regurgitation [bicuspid valve] in one case, and unknown origin in one case. Owing to the various pathology above mentioned, reconstructive surgical approach to mitral incompetence is accordingly complicated and a combination of the following different procedures were properly used case by case, that is, suture of chordae tendineae, shortening of elongated chordae tendineae, closure of VSD, ligation of PDA, aortic valvuloplasty, mitral annuloplasty with mattress suture, etc. All patients were survived and they have been excellent postoperative results.

Recently, cardiac injury due to blunt thoracic trauma appears to be increasing in frequency. The rising incidence of this mishap may relate to the absolute increase in automobile accidents as well as to more universal recognition that cardiac damage may have been sustained. We have experienced a rare case of ventricular septal defect caused by non-penetrating thoracic trauma. Of further interest is the history of chest trauma, clearly resulting in rupture of the chordae tendineae of the tricuspid valve successfully treated by operation-re-placement with two, 6 - 0, double-armed, expanded polytetrafluoroethylene sutures-2 months later. The unique combination of ventricular septal defect and rupture of the chordae tendineae of the tricuspid valve secondary to non-penetrating thoracic trauma is presented below to emphasize another variety of cardiac injury.

The incidence and importance of tricuspid valve regurgitation after a blunt chest injury has risen with the increase in the number of automobile accidents and steering wheel traumas. This kind of injury has been reported more frequently in the last decade because of the better diagnostic procedures and understanding of the pathology. However, tricuspid valve regurgitation following a blunt chest injury can still be easily missed because most patients do not show symptoms at the time of the trauma. A 55-year-old male patient presented himself at our facility after suffering a chest injury from an automobile accident. His transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) revealed severe tricuspid valve regurgitation due to the prolapse of his anterior valve leaflet. We report a case of asymptomatic tricuspid regurgitation that developed after a blunt chest injury.

이화여자대학교 흉부외과에서는 매우 드물게 발생하는 흉부둔상에 의한 삼첨판막 역류증 환자에 있어서 mE를 사용하여 새로운 건삭을 만들어 주고 판막링을 이용하여 판막륜 성형술을 시행하여 좋은 결과를 얻었기에 보고하는 바이다. 환자는 3층 높이의 건물에서 떨어져서 응급실을 방문했으며 심에코 검사상 전유두근의 파열에 의한 심한 삼 첨판막 역류증의 소견을 보였으나 증상이 경미하여 퇴원하였다. 그러나 호흡곤란 및 심비대가 증가하여 외 상후 4개월에 수술을 시행하였으며 수술후 시행한 심에코상 삼첨판막 역류증은 보이지 않았고 호흡곤란도 사라졌다.

47세 남자 환자가 교통사고로 인한 감속 손상후 흉부 통증 및 호흡곤란을 주소로 내원하였다. 청진시 우 흉골연에서 수축기 심잡음이 들렸고 심전도에서는 분당 120∼130회의 동빈맥을 보였다. 경흉부 심장 초음파에서 삼첨판막의 전엽이 동요하는 형태를 보였고 유두근의 파열과 함께 심한 판막 폐쇄 부전이 관찰되었다. 수술은 통상적인 심폐기하에서 우심방절개를 통해 접근하여, 전엽의 유두근과 후엽의 건삭이 파열되어 있는 것을 확인하였다. 전엽과 후엽에 각각 우심실내의 유두근으로 새로운 인공 건삭을 조성하였다. 또한 De-Vega 판륜 성형술을 병행하여 시행하였다. 저자들은 매우 드물게 발생한다고 알려져 있는 외상후 유두근 파열로 인한 삼첨판막의 기능부전의 수술을 경험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
