A case of pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum was presented in a 10-month-old cyanotic female patient, which was congenitally rare. Infant with pulmonary atresia and intact ventricular septum usually require urgent surgical intervention. Angiogram showed the pulmonary atresia at the level of the pulmonary valve, the hypoplasia of tricuspid valve and atrial septal defect without patent ductus arteriosus. We performed the pericardial patch graft on the right ventricular outflow tract and pulmonary artery after ventriculotomy using pacemaker wire as electrical saw and main pulmonary arteriotomy and then modified Waterston shunt from the ascending aorta to patch on the right ventricular outflow tract without extracorporeal circulation. Patient was postoperatively good condition.

Unilateral hypoplasia of the pulmonary artery is an uncommon anomaly, which commonly develops in combination with congenital cardiovascular defects such as tetralogy of Fallot, patent ductus arteriosus and septal defect of atrium or ventricle, but may also present as an isolated lesion. We have recently experienced a case of the left pulmonary artery hypoplasia in adult by chance of during the general health screen, which diagnosed by chest X-ray, chest spiral CT, lung perfusion and ventilation scan, digital substraction angiogram and bronchoscopy, then presented hereby with the review of relevant literature.

Branchio-oto-renal syndrome (BOR) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder. The features include branchial cysts, hearing loss, ear malformation, preauricular pits, retrognathia, congenital heart disease, and renal abnormalities. However, anesthetic management of these patients has seldom been reported. We report a case in which general anesthesia was performed for dental treatment in a patient with BOR. Airway management, renal function, and hemodynamic changes can be of critical concern during anesthetic management. A 13-year-old girl diagnosed with BOR had severe right hearing loss, right external ear malformation, renal abnormalities, and postoperative patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). Dental extraction under general anesthesia was scheduled for a supernumerary tooth. The procedure was completed with sufficient urine volume, adequate airway management, and stable hemodynamics.

The experience with operative treatment for total correction of Fallot at the department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Keimyung University Dong San Medical Center from July 1980 to July 1984 was reviewed. There were 37 males and 12 females and their ages ranged from 3 years to 30 years, with the average age of 12.2 years. Sixty nine point four percent of patients were younger than 15 years of age. The most frequent type of right ventricular outflow stenosis was the combined type [pulmonary valvular and infundibular stenosis] containing 41 patients [83.7%] and there were 9 deaths in this group. The major associated lesions included Patent foramen ovale in 20 patients [40.8%], Atrial septal defect in 7 patients [14.3%], Left superior vena cava in 4 patients [8.2%], Right sided aortic arch in 2 patients [4.1%] and Patent ductus arteriosus in 11 patient [2.0%]. The pulmonary valvotomy was performed in 41 patients and patch graft reconstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract was performed in 23 patients. In 11 patients the monocusp patches were used. Thirty-five patients [71.4%] had the right bundle branch block postoperatively. There were 11 postoperative deaths with hospital mortality rate of 22.4% and the leading causes of death were low output syndrome, bleeding, and cerebral embolism.

Our series comprised 68 patients of ventricular septal defect who underwent open heart surgery at the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, School of Medicine, Kyungpook National University, from January, 1980 to September, 1984. Of the 68 patients, 47 patients were male [69.1%] and 21 patients were female [30.9%]. Their age ranged from 3 years to 27 years, and the mean age was 10.1 years. Upon Kirklin`s anatomical classification, type I constituted 29.4%, type II 69.1%, type III 1.5%, and type IV 1%. The cardiac anomalies associated with ventricular septal defect were 21 in all; 5 PS, 4 Aortic insufficiency, 2 ASD, 4 Patent foramen ovale, and 1 Patent ductus arteriosus. Upon the data of cardiac catheterization, most of the patients had Qp/Qs of 1.4-1.8, Pp/Ps of 0.25 or less and Rp/Rs of 0.25 or less. There was no significant correlationship between the rate of operative complication & mortality and the increase of Qp/Qs, Pp/Ps, and Rp/Rs. The values of Qp/Qs, Pp/Ps and Rp/Rs were correspondingly increased according to increment of the defect size. 20 patients developed postoperative complications, such as 4 acute respiratory failure, 3 reexploration due to massive bleeding, 1 low cardiac output, 1 patch detachment, and 2 air embolism. Operative mortality rate was 7.4% [5 cases] among 68 patients.

Seventeen patients of the congenital pulmenic stenosis were operated at the department of Thoracic Surgery, Seoul National University Hospital. There were thirteen male and four females, and ranging from six to thirty years of age. And it's incidence was 2.7% of congenital heart disease cases that were operated on. (Total 628) Seven case of trilogy of Fallot were excluded. Two cases of bacterial endocarditis were found. Right heart catheterization was done in all patients. Average right ventricular pressure was $121{\pm}35.8$mmHg, pulmonary artery $20{\pm}6.8$mmHg, and RV-PA pressure gradient $98{\pm}34.5$mmHg. The preoperative average time interval of A2-P2 which was checked at phonocardiography was $0.08{\pm}0.016$second, and was reduced to $0.03{\pm}0.009$second postoperatively. One was operated by Varco's procedure, another one was done by Brock's procedure, and fifteen patients were done by open heart surgery with heart-lung machine. Pure valvular stenosis was found in sixteen and infundibular stenosis in one case. And the combining anormalies were two patent ductus arteriosus, two patent foramen ovale, and one tricuspid valve hypoplasia. Two expired postoperatively at the begining stage of cardiac surgery in this Department. The remaining fifteen showed excellent operative results.

동맥관개존증은 출생 후에도 폐동맥과 하행대동맥 사이에 동맥관이 지속적으로 열려 있는 선천성 심장질환이다. 동맥관개존증은 외과적인 결찰술로 폐쇄할 수 있지만, 다양한 도구를 이용한 동맥관개존증의 중재적 치료술은 비침습적인 치료과정과 시술 후 관리의 최소화의 이유로 빠르게 대체되고 있다. 소형품종에서의 중재적인 치료술은 동맥의 크기가 작기 때문에 혈관으로의 접근성이 주요한 문제점이 된다. 비록 경정맥을 이용한 정맥 접근법이 개발되었으나 이 기술은 동맥관에 폐색장치를 장착시키기 위해서 숙달된 기술이 필요하며, 폐색 장치 (색전 코일이나 혈관폐색장치)가 예기치 않게 잘못 장착될 위험성을 가지고 있다. 따라서, 우리는 이번 연구에서 소형품종 (체중3 kg미만)에서 대퇴동맥 접근을 통한 미니 혈관카테타를 이용한 변형된 코일 색전법을 개발하였다. 이러한 변형된 방법을 통하여 우리는 좌우 단락된 동맥관개존증을 가진 두마리의 소형품종 (말티즈)을 성공적으로 치료하였다.

목 적 : 인도메타신 투여는 미숙아 동맥관개존의 치료로 약 80-90%에서 효과를 보이며 일부는 반복 투여나 수술적 치료를 필요로 한다. 본 연구는 인도메타신 치료 효과에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 요인들을 분석하여 치료 효과를 관찰함으로써 조기에 인도메타신 재 투여나 수술적 치료를 고려해야 할 경우를 예측하는데 도움이 되는 인자를 알아보고자 시행되었다. 방 법 : 2002년 9월부터 2006년 4월까지 경희 의료원과 노원 을지병원 신생아 중환자실에 입원한 미숙아 중 동맥관개존을 진단받고 일차적으로 인도메타신 주사를 투여 받은 환아 29명을 대상으로 하였다. 이중 1 cycle 투여로 치료된 경우를 단일 투여 군으로, 약물을 재 투여하였거나 재 투여 후 수술적 치료를 받은 경우를 재 투여 군으로 하였으며 인도메타신 치료 효과에 영향을 줄 수 있는 인자들에 관하여 후향적으로 비교, 조사하였다. 결 과 : 단일 투여 군은 전체 29명 중 19명(65.5%)였고 재 투여군 중 수술적 치료 없이 인도메타신의 재 투여로 치료된 환아는 29명 중 5명(17.2%), 재 투여 후 재발하여 수술 받은 환아는 29명 중 5명(17.2%)이였다. 재 투여 군에서는 동맥관개존의 크기가 유의하게 더 컸으며($3.66{\pm}0.8mm$ vs $2.55{\pm}0.8mm$, P<0.01), 또한 인도메타신의 첫 투여 시 평균 연령은 재 투여 군에서 통계적으로 유의하게 높았다(19.7일 vs 12.5일, P<0.05). 재태 연령과 출생 체중은 의미 있는 차이는 없었다. 그밖에 기관지 폐 이형성증, 괴사성 장염, 패혈증, 뇌실 내 출혈 등과 같은 예후에도 양군간의 의미 있는 차이가 없었다. 결 론 : 동맥관개존의 크기가 3.5 mm 이상인 경우, 인도메타신 투여시기가 생후 7일 이상으로 늦은 경우에 적극적인 인도메타신의 재 투여나 수술적 치료를 고려해야 할 것으로 생각되며 향후 보다 많은 환자 군을 대상으로 하는 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.
