동맥관 개존증은 선천성 심질환 중 비교적 흔한 질환이며, 크기나 중등도에 상관없이 폐쇄가 필요한 질환이다. 경피적 동맥관 폐쇄술은 개흉술에 비하여 합병증의 위험이 적고 경제적으로도 바람직하며, 치료 성적도 우수하여 최근에는 표준적인 치료법으로 받아들여지고 있다. 하지만 원통형 모양의 동맥관 개존증은 흔히 사용하는 분리형 코일이나 ADO로 시술하기에는 여러 가지로 어려운 점이 많다. 저자들은 이러한 형태의 동맥관을 폐쇄하기 위하여 일반적으로 추천되는 것보다 큰 크기의 AVP를 이용하여 원통형 동맥관이 메워지도록 하는 방법을 이용함으로써, 성공적인 동맥관 개존증 폐쇄술을 시행하였기에 이를 보고하는 바이다.

With the ligation of patent ductus arteriosus by Gross in 1938, surgeons first entered the field of congenital heart disease. Interruption of a ductus is one of the most satisfactory and curative operations in the field of surgery for congenital heart disease. 27 cases of isolated patent ductus arteriosus were operated from Jan. 1978 to July 1984 at the Department of Thoracic & Cardiovascular Surgery in Kyung-Hee University Hospital. Retrospective clinical analysis of these patients were: 1. Sex ratio, female: male, was 2:1. 2. Mean age at operation was 9.85\ulcorner.58 years. The youngest patient was a 23 month-old girl and the oldest one was a 24 year-old male. 3. More than half of the patients had less than 50 percentile of growth retardation. 4. Chief complaints of the patients were frequent URI [52%], dyspnea on exertion [33%], generalized weakness [22%], palpitation [7%], but 7 patients [26%] had no subjective symptoms. 5. Continuous machinery murmur could be heard at the 2nd or 3rd intercostal space on the left sternal border in 22 patients [81%]. The other S patients made systolic murmur with accentuation of the second heart sound and those were associated with pulmonary hypertension. 6. Radiologic findings of Chest P-A were cardiac enlargement in 15 patients [55%], enlargement of pulmonary conus and/or increasing density of pulmonary vascularity in 20 patients [74%]. 7. Electrocardiographic findings of the patients were within normal limit in 13 patients [48%], LVH in 4 patients [15%], biventricular hypertrophy in 3 patients [11%]. 8; echocardiogram was obtained from 11 patients. Ductus was directly visualized in 7 patients. Left atrial enlargement is the secondary change of left to right shunt, 10 patients had LA/Ao ratio more than 1.2. 9. Cardiac catheterization performed in 25 patients. The mean value of the results were:SO2[PA-RV]= 14.72\ulcorner6.01%, Qp/Qs=2.22\ulcorner.80, peak systolic pulmonary arterial pressure=48.28\ulcorner1.60 mmHg. 10. 26 patients were operated through the left posterolateral thoracotomy: closure of ductus by double ligation in 14 cases, triple ligation in 5 cases, and division with suture in 8 cases. One patient suffer from aneurysmal rupture of main pulmonary artery, endocarditis, hemopericardium was treated with cardiopulmonary bypass via median sternotomy and closure of ductus through the ruptured main pulmonary artery. 11.There was no death associated with the operation, but 3 cases were experienced with intraoperative rupture around the ductus resulting in massive bleeding. The other complications were transient hoarseness in one patient, atelectasis in left lower lobe in 3 patients, and postoperative systemic hypertension in 4 patients with unknown etiology. 12. Pulse pressure was reduced, 11.47+5.92 mmHg, postoperatively, as compare to preoperative status. 13. Intraoperative wedge lung biopsy from lingular segment for the evaluation of the pulmonary vascular disease was taken in S patients with severe pulmonary hypertension. The result was Heath-Edward grade I in one case, grade II in two cases, and grade III in two cases.

배경: 성인의 동맥관개존증치료에는 폐고혈압, 동맥벽 석회화, 동맥관의 동맥류화와 같은 어려움이 있다. 저자들은 동맥관 결찰후에 심장의 크기가 어떻게 변화하는지 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 마산 삼성 병원에서는 1987년에서부터 1997년 까지 30명의 성인 동맥관 개존 환자를 결찰법으로 수술 했다. 결과: 이들은 남자가 9명 이었으며 여자가 21명이었다. 나이는 16세 에서 44세 였고 평균 26.1세였다. 이들 중 폐동맥 고혈압은 15례에서 있었고 9명의 환자에서 NYHA class III 이상의 운동시 호흡곤란이 있었다. 수술 방법은 모두 테프론을 덧댄 결찰법을 시행 하였고, 수술후 합병증은 3례의 창상 감염과 1례의 일시적인 애성이 있었다. 수술전 심흉 비는 54.7%에서 수술후 51.9%로 변화 되었다. 심흉비의 변화는 울혈성 심부전을 가진 환자들에서 더욱 특징적 이었는데 수술전 64.8%에서 수술후 58.5%로 변화 되었다. 수술과 연관된 사망은 없었다. 결론: 이상의 연구에서 성인에서 동맥관을 결찰한 뒤에 심흉비가 감안하는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Twenty eight patients with conpnital heart disuse underwent lung biopsy to assets pulmonary obstructive vascular disease at cardiac surpry. Thirteen patients had patent ductus arteriosus, 10, ventricular septal defects and S, atrial septal defects. The aaes were between 2 and 30 years. In patients with patent ductus arteriosus lung biopsy was performed from the IIngular Hlment. The anterior seament of the right upper lobe was blopsled in cases with ventricular septal defect and atrial septal defect. Grading of pulmonary obstructive vascular disease could not be assessed In 9 cases. In 2 cases poor quality of the slides made us impossible to evaluate and In 7 cases there were no suitable small muscular arteries to evaluate in the slides of lung tissue especially taken from the IIngular seament. Nineteen cases were evaluated pulmonary obstructive vascular disease. Among them 17 cases had Heath-Edwards changes of grade 1 and 2 patients had that of grade 3. The thickness of media was measured. It was expressed as percentage of medial thickness to outer diameter of artery. The medial thickness was correlated proportionally with elevation of pulmonary arterial pressure and pulmonary vascular resistance to systemic vascular resistance ratio. There were no complications related to the procedure of lung biopsy.

A case of complete interruption of aortic arch with aortopulmonary window, patent ductus arteriosus, and aberrantly originated right subclavian artery from proximal descending aorta, in a four year old boy is reported in detail. This is the only reported case in Korea, who has had a successful one-stage total anatomical correction of this combination of defects. Under deep hypothermia and total circulatory arrest, aortic continuity was established using patent ductus arteriosus and anterior wall of pulmonary artery, which was anastomosed obliquely to anteromedial side of ascending aorta. Aortopulmonary window was closed using Impra patch via pulmonary arteriotomy. Then pulmonary arteriotomy was reconstructed primarily except at the junction of right pulmonary artery and main pulmonary artery, where a small piece of pericardium was used to close the defect to prevent kinking and narrowing of right pulmonary artery. Postoperative cardiac catheterization demonstrated a good reconstruction.

Coronary artery fistula is an uncommon congenital heart defect that is readily amenable to surgical treatment. This fistula usually originates from the right coronary artery, but may arise from the left coronary artery, both coronary arteries, or single coronary artery. And the fistulous communication is most often to right ventricle, right atrium or pulmonary artery. Recently we experienced one case of congenital coronary artery fistula which was associated with patent ductus arteriosus. The fistulous communication, forming aneurysmal dilatation, was noted between the left anterior descending coronary artery and the right ventricular outflow tract. Cardiopulmonary bypass was employed in this case. After an arteriotomy was made on the aneurysmal coronary artery, both the proximal opening and the termination site of the fistulous tract were directly closed with partial aneurysmorrhaphy. The right ventricular chamber was also opened to evaluate the fistulous termination site. Postoperative hospital course of the patient was uneventful and she was discharged without problems.

Seven infants less than age 3 months underwent patch aortoplasty and tube graft bypass for relief of coarctation of aorta. All had intractable congestive heart failure, despite aggressive medical therapy Each infant had other cardiac anomalies including patent ductus arteriosus, ventricular septal defect, atrial septal defect and congenital mitral stenosis. All patients underwent closure of the ductus arteriosus and patch angioplasty of the aorta to produce a luminal diameter of at least 15mm or tube graft interposition utilizing the Gortex tube graft diameter larger than 10mm. In 5 patients who had ventricular defect, they underwent pulmonary arterial banding. &ere was one hospital death 17 days after operation secondary to the hydronephrosis and renal failure. Hospitalization was less than 10 days after operation except one case. In 3 patients who had associated VSD, open heart surgery[VSD closure+PA debanding]was done without difficulty. Surgical repair of critical coarctation of the aorta in infants can safely be offered despite the poor preoperative condition and presence of other cardiac anomalies.
