This is a case report of surgically treated rupture of Valsalva Sinus aneurysm combined with VSD. He has been relatively healthy until about one month before admission, when during bath, he felt abruptly palpitation, left chest pain and exertional dyspnea. These symptoms have progressed. On admission, thrill was palpable and continuous machinery murmur was audible on 2nd and 3rd intercostal space along the left sternal border. A rupture of Valsalva`s sinus aneurysm was confirmed by aortography and echocardiography but a small VSD was found by cardiotomy in open heart surgery. On 11th Sep. 1978, open heart surgery was performed. Valsalva`s sinus aneurysm came out from right coronary aortic sinus and ruptured into the right ventricle. It sized 1.2X1.5X1.5 cm. Ruptured opening was noted on apex of aneurysm [0.8X0.8cm], VSD [1. 0X0. 3cm in size] was just below the aortic annulus. The aneurysmal sac was removed on neck. After that, VSD and aneurysmal orifice were closed together with interrupted mattress sutures on same plane. The postoperative course was uneventful and discharged three weeks after open heart surgery.

A 3-day-old Appaloosa colt was examined because of acute onset of ataxia, left-sided head tilt, fever and heart murmur. The foal continued to nurse but became increasingly depressed and mild colic. On plain radiological examination, the foal was normal. Uroperitoneum was diagnosed following abdominocentesis. Postmortem examination revealed bladder rupture. The lesion was in the dorsomedial part of the bladder wall. We suggested that the cause of bladder rupture was parturient trauma. Even though the rupture was associated with trauma, the margin of rupture of bladder was clearly smooth and regular.

배경: 급성심근경색 후 좌심실벽 파열은 높은 사망률을 보이는 심각한 합병증으로 보통 응급 수술이 유일한 치료법이다. 지속적인 흉통과 실신을 주소로 내원한 76세 여자 환자로 심초음파에서 심낭 삼출 및 좌심실 측하부의 수축 저하 소견을 보였고 관상동맥조영술에서 첫 사선지의 완전 폐쇄소견이 관찰되었다. 폐쇄된 사선지에 관상동맥성형술 및 스텐트 삽입, 그리고 대동맥내 풍선펌프 삽입 후 응급수술을 시행하였다. 체외순환 및 심정지하에 관상동맥우회술을 시행하고 좌심실벽 파열부위는 소 심낭으로 덮고 인조사로 연속 봉합하였으며 소 심낭과 심장외막 사이의 공간은 fibrin glue로 채운 후 지혈될 때까지 압박하였다. 급성심근경색 후 발생한 좌심실벽 파열을 치험하였기에 보고한다.

There are three types of papillary muscle of the left ventricle[finger, tethered and mixed type] according to the morphology of the attachment to the ventricular wall. Especially finger type of the papillary muscle is more vulnerable to the injury than tethered or mixed type, because their blood supply is dependent upon the central artery whose diameter is less than 1mm and the papillary muscle itself is the end organ of the heart anatomically. There are several causes of papillary muscle rupture but few cases have been reported. Recently we have experienced 3 cases of papillary muscle rupture of the left ventricle with successful mitral valve replacement and the causes are postmyocardial infarction, percutaneous mitral valvulotomy and non-penetrating chest trauma. The common finding is the morphology of papillary muscle, that is the finger type and their rupture type is the complete type.

Intestinal rupture caused by small bowel volvulus was diagnosed in a captive 13-year-old male American black bear. The animal presented with decreased appetite, depression, lethargy, and mild abdominal distention for 3 days. The animal was treated with antibiotics, hypermetabolites, and digestive medicine daily; however, it died on the third day of treatment. The clinical symptoms included hemorrhagic ascites, gaseous extension of the small intestine, and intestinal rupture caused by small bowel volvulus. Hemorrhagic signs were observed in the lungs and heart. This is the first case to describe small bowel volvulus in mammals of the family Ursidae.

From January, 1990 to December, 1994, we have operated 10 patients with cardiac rupture. The patients are divided into two groups according to their clinical manifestation ; five patients in each hemorrhage and tamponade group. The patients in both groups could maintain their vital signs with closed thoracostomy and fluid resuscitation. The effect of pericardiocentesis was especially dramatic in three patients of tamponade group. The average time from injury to admission was 101 minutes and that of the patients who came our hospital via one or two other hospitals was 170 minutes comparing 31 minutes of those who came directly. The average time from admission to operation was 211 minutes. Considering 98 minutes for the diagnosis and preoperative management and another 30 minutes for the preparation for operation, operations were delayed by 83 minutes to get permission. We conclude that this delaying time for transport and operation of heart-ruptured patients should be shortened in order to manage them more effectively.

Traumatic rupture of the right hemidiaphragm occurred following a high-velocity motor vehicle collision in the case presented herein. The resulting herniation of small bowel loops into the thorax resulted in hemodynamic and respiratory compromise due to pressure effects on the right heart and major vessels. The patient's hemodynamic status improved with reduction of enterothorax, and the diaphragmatic defect was repaired. We discuss the available literature and learning points from this rare case.

심박조율도관 관련 심내막염은 드물지만 치명적인 합병증이다. 과거 기계판막을 이용한 이중판막치환술 및 영구 심박조율기 삽입 후 발생한 발살바동 파열이 있었던 45세 남자로 간헐적인 고열을 주소로 입원하였다. 혈액균배양 검사에서 streptococcus viridans 배양 및 경식도초음파 검사에서 조율도관 및 삼첨판막에 유동성이 있는 큰 증식물이 관찰되어 심박조율도관 관련 심내막염으로 진단하였다. 항생제 치료 후 조율도관의 제거술과 증식물 및 감염조직의 절제술을 시행하였다. 술 후 4주 동안 항생제 투여를 지속하였으며 경과는 양호하였다. 퇴원 후 심내막염의 재발 소견이나 증상없이 외래통원 치료중이다.

We experienced 6 patients with the sinus Valsalva aneurysm rupture during last 12 years [Jan. 1977-Sep. 1989]. Of them. 5 cases were reviewed. They consist of 3 males and 2 females, and the age ranged from 12 years to 40 years with the mean age of 25 years. 4 patients showed congestive heart failure symptoms. The diagnosis was made by 2D-Echo and cine-angiogram. In 4 patients. sinus Valsalva aneurysm ruptured from the Rt. coronary sinus to the Rt. ventricle, and in one from non-coronary sinus to the Rt. atrium. In 2 cases, resection of the aneurysm and simple stitch closure was made. Resection of the aneurysm k patch closure and AVR in one, closure of the fistula, AVR and patch closure of the associated VSD in one, and closure of the fistula, AVR k TVR in one were made in another 3 cases. There was no postoperative mortality case.

심장은 흉골골절시 흉골 바로 밑에 위치한 해부학적 특성때문에 손상을 받기 쉽다. 또한 이러한손상에 의하여 심장이 파열되는 경우는 드물지만, 만일 이런 경우가 발생하였을 때에는 생존의 가능성은 낮다. 본 흉부외과학교실에서는 흉골골절에 의하여 심장이 파열되어 심장 압전 소견이 있어 체외순환 없이 응급개흉술을 시행하여 일차 봉합술로 치료하여 생존한 1례를 치험하였다. 심장파열이 의심되는 환자가 병원에 도착하였을때는 즉각적으로 진단을 하자마자 바로 응급수술을 하면 생명을 구할 가능성이 높다고 사료된다.
