선천성 심질환에 대한 개심술후 발생한 폐동맥 고혈압 위기증이 혈관확장제 등의 내과적 치료에 반응하지 않는 경우에 체외막 산소화 장치를 사용함으로써, 안정적인 산소공급의 확보를 통한 폐혈관 저항의 상승 방지, 심박출량의 상당 부분의 바이패스를 통한 폐관류압의 감소, 우심실의 용적 부하 감소 및 심실보조 기능을 통한 우심부전 및 저심박출의 예방 등의 치료 효과를 기대할 수 있다. 본 증례의 경우, 동맥관 개존증과 이차성 폐동맥 고혈압이 합병되어 있었던 37세 남자에서 수술후 발생한 폐동맥 고혈압 위기증에 대한 치료시 체외막 산소화 장치를 함께 사용하여 좋은 결과를 얻었기에 보고하는 바이다.

DiGeorge증후군은 드문 선천성 기형으로 3번째와 4번째 인후낭의 발생과정 이상에 의한 흉선과 부갑상선의 형성부전과 관련이 있다. 이 증후군은 흔히 선천성 심장기형과 안면기형을 동반한다. 저자들은 DiGeorge증후군을 동반한 선천성 심장기형을 1례 수\ulcorner 치험하였다. 환아는 생후 1개월된 남아로 몸무게는 3.5kg이었다. 동반된 선천성 심장기형은 심실중격결손증, 심방중격결손증, 대동맥축착증 및 동맥관 개존증이었다. 수술은 좌측방 개흉 및 흉골 정중절개를 통하여 일차에 거쳐 시행하였고 환아는 수술 후 별다른 문제없이 회복하였다. 현재 6개월 째 외래 추적관찰 중에 있으며 양호한 상태로 성장하고 있다.

The effect of cardiopulmonary bypass procedures on the blood components were studied through the measurements of several serum enzymes, SGOT, SGPT, CPK and LDH with its isozymes in the patients who had surgery for their heart diseases. They wre 85 patients: 40 Males and 45 Females. Their ages ranged widely between one and fifty-six. They were divided into 5 groups: Group I.patent ductus arteriosus without extracorporeal circulation, Group II-atrial septal defect, Group III-ventricular septal defect, Group IV-tetralogy of Fallot, and Group V-valve replacement. Generally serum enzymes revealed the increased values after surgery and the tendency returning toward preoperative levels. With the high total serum LDH levels seen uniformly after operation which persisted long in patients with replaced valves, the changes of LDH-isozymes were further analyzed. The isozymes, especially LDI and LDs increased their activities postoperatively, and the other fractions varied little. And $LD_1$/$LD_2$ ratios also showed similar rises and falls while the elevated values lasted longer in the patients with cardiac valve replacement. The significant values of LDH-isozymes in predicting the hemolysis occuring after extracorporeal circulation and in following the patients whose valves were replaced have been further discussed with the special stress placed on the $LD_1$/$LD_2$ratios.

Eighteen infants with a large ventricular septal defect[VSD] underwent primary surgical repair from January 1986 to December 1992. Operation was done because of failure to thrive, medically intractable heart failure, recurrent pneumonia, increased pulmonary vascular resistance[PVR]. Four patients[22.2%] died in the early postoperative period. Relief of heart failure and normalization of growth and weight gain was evident in all survivor. There was no late postoperative death. The results of primary surgical repair of VSD in infancy are compared with those of palliative pulmonary artery banding[PAB] and of VSD closure after PAB. Twenty-seven patients with isolated VSD or with VSD associated with atrial septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, or coarctation of the aorta underwent initial palliative PAB. There were 3 early postoperative deaths[11.1%]. Severe elevation of PVR persisted in two patients. Closure of VSD and pulmonary artery debanding was done in twenty patients, with 2 early postoperative deaths[10.0%]. Placement of the PAB too close to the pulmonary annulus necessitated trasannular patching in one patient, but any problem caused by migration of the band was not developed. It is concluded that primary surgical repair of VSD in infancy is reasonable and that PAB is indicated only for those patients less than 6 months old with a complicated defect or in an emergency situation.

Between September 1986, and August 1989, eight infants underwent operation for repair of coarctation of the aorta in the first year of life. The patients included 7 males and 1 female ranging in age 19 days and 9 months. Weights ranged from 3.5 Kg to 7 Kg [mean 5 Kg]. All patients had preductal coarctation of the aorta. Each infant had associated cardiac anomalies, including ventricular septal defect [7 infants] and patent ductus arteriosus [5 infants]. All had intractable congestive heart failure, despite aggressive medical therapy. Pressure gradient across the coarctation ranged from 10 mmHg to 60 mmHg. Operative techniques were subclavian flap aortoplasty in five cases, Gore-Tex patch aortoplasty in three cases. In addition to coarctation repair, six infants had concomitant banding of the pulmonary artery. Four infants required ventilator support for several days. There was no operative death. Complications developed in two. One infant had tracheal stenosis after a tracheostomy. Another infant had restenosis of the aorta revealed by cardiac catheterization 30 months after surgery. The pressure gradient was 30 mmHg, necessitating balloon dilatation aortoplasty. Results were satisfactory. During follow up, we performed total correction procedures [patch closure of the ventricular septal defect, infundibulectomy, pulmonary valvotomy and pulmonary artery angioplasty] in one case. Continuing follow-up finds all patients in good condition.

Congenital absent sternum is a rare birth defect that requires early intervention for optimal long-term outcomes. Descriptions of the repair of absent sternum are limited to case reports, and no preferred method for management has been described. Herein, we describe the use of porcine acellular dermal matrix to reconstruct the sternum of an infant with sternal infection following attempted repair using synthetic mesh. The patient was a full-term male with trisomy 21, agenesis of corpus callosum, ventricular septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, right-sided aortic arch, and congenital absence of sternum with no sternal bars. Following removal of the infected synthetic mesh, negative pressure wound therapy with instillation was used to manage the open wound and provide direct antibiotic therapy. When blood C-reactive protein levels declined to ${\leq}2mg/L$, the sternum was reconstructed using porcine acellular dermal matrix. At 21 months postoperative, the patient demonstrated no respiratory issues. Physical examination and computed tomography imaging identified good approximation of the clavicular heads and sternal cleft and forward curvature of the ribs. This case illustrates the benefits of negative pressure wound therapy and acellular dermal matrix for the reconstruction of absent sternum in the context of infected sternal surgical site previously repaired with synthetic mesh.

미숙아에 있어서 동반되는 동맥관개존증은 향후 환아의 경과에 지대한 영향을 미친다. 본 연구는 미숙아 에 있어서 동맥관 개존증으로 진단되어 치료를 받은 례를 관찰 분석하여 그 성적을 살피고 향후 동맥관개 존증의 치료 방향을 설정하고자 하였다. 1994년 12월 부터 1996년 10월까지 신생아 중환자실에 입원하여 동맥관개존증으로 진단을 받은 환자 57 명중을 대상으로 하여 임상기록지를 관찰하였다. 인도메타진 등의 내과적 치료를 받은 환자(I 군)는 48명 (남자 29명, 여자 19명) 이었으며, 수술적 교정을 받은 환아(II 군)는 9명(남자 5명, 여자 4명)이었다. 각군에서의 환아의 평균 재태기간은 각각 29.6$\pm$3.1주, 28.1$\pm$1.6주0>0.05), 평균 출생시 체중은 각각 1,413$\pm$ 580gm, 1,098$\pm$235gm(p.0.05)이였다. 모든 환아에서 일차적으로 인도메타진 치료를 하였으며, 그중 인도메타 진 치료에도 불구하고 동맥관이 막히지 않고 패출혈, BUN의 상승, 소변량 감소 등으로 수술 대상이 되었 (9/57, 16%). 수술은 환자를 이동시키지 않고 신생아중환자실에서 결찰을 시행하였다. 2명의 환아들이 술 후 15일, 47일째 술전 부터 발생한 지속적인 패혈증및 기관지패 鎌紈봐塚막\ulcorner사망하였다. 수술과 직접적으 로 관련된 합병증 및 사망 례는 없었다. 인도메타진으로 내과적 치료만 한 환자 47명중 9명이 합병증(패혈 증, 기관패이형성증, 패내출혈, 신부전 등)으로 인하여 사망하여(19%) 내과적 치료의 실패는 520lo(18fsf였 다. 출생체중을 기준으로 보았을때 체중이 1500gm미만인 경우가 1500gm이상인 경우보다 그 실패율이 높았다(41% 15/38, 16% 3/19, p<0,05). 상기 결과로 부터 크기가 큰 동맥관 개존증, 체중이 적은 미숙아, 선천성 심기형을 동반한 경우 등 일부 미숙아에 있어서는 수술적 결찰술이 일차적 치료법으로 고려 되어야 할 것으로 사료된다. 또한 환아를 수 술장으로 이동하지 않고도 중환자실에서 안전하게 수술할 수 있었다.

A clinical study on 139 cases of operated PDA was performed during period from Aug. 1982 to Apr. 1991 at the Dept. of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery of Chonbuk National University Hospital. The following results are obtained. 1. The 35 males and 104 females ranged in age from 6 months to 40 years. [mean 10.2 yrs. ] 2. Chief complaints of the patients were frequent URI in 50%, dyspnea on exertion in 31.2%, palpitation in 11.1%, and no subjective symptoms in 28.78% 3. On auscultation, continuous machinery murmur heard in 79.86% and systolic murmur in 20.14%. 4. Radiologic findings of chest P-A showed increased density of pulmonary vascularity in 80.58%, cardiomegaly in 61.87%, and within normal limit in 19.42% of the patients. 5. The signs of LVH[44.4%], RVH[17.4%], BVH[7.6%] were noted on the EKC. 6. Cardiac catheterizations were performed in 114 patients. The mean Qp/Qs was 2.65 and the mean Pp /Ps was 0.41 and the mean systolic pulmonary artery pressure was 46.6 mmHg. 7. Operative methods were as followed: The 130 cases[93.52%] of ligation and 3 cases[2.16%] of division & suture for PDA were performed through the left posterolateral thoracotomy. And the remained cases were managed under the cardiopulmonary bypass. 8. Operative complications were hoarseness in 8 cases, atelectasis in 6 cases, intraoperative ductal rupture under the left thoracotomy approach 2 cases, recannalization 1 case and others in 3 cases. 9. One patient died due to ductal rupture intraoperatively and the overall mortality was 0.7%.
