배경 : 단심실 교정을 시행함에 있어 수술 전 위험 인자가 많지 않다고 판단되는 경우에도 수술 후 장기간의 흉관 배액, 단백 소모성 장질환, 폐혈관 색전증, 사망 등의 불량한 결과를 얻을 수 있다. 이러한 측면에서, 단심실 교정에 대한 기존의 위험 인자 분석은 수술 결과를 예측함에 있어 미흡한 점이 있다고 할 수 있다. 저자 등은 폐혈관 유순도를 새로이 정의하고, 낮은 폐혈관 유순도가 수술 후 흉관 배액 기간을 길게 한다는 가설을 세워 이를 증명하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 2002년 1월부터 2005년 5월까지 심장 외 도관을 이용한 단심실 교정을 받은 총 96 명의 환자들의 기록을 후행적으로 분석하였다. 동 기간 중 기존의 단심실 교정을 심장 외 도관으로 교체한 경우는 연구 대상에서 제외하였다. 수술 후 늑막 삼출 기간의 위험 인자 분석에는 12가지 수술 전 위험 인자들을 지수화한 Fontan risk score (FRS) 및 기타 다양한 수술 전, 수술 중 위험 인자들을 포함시켰으며, 본 연구를 위하여 전기로 analogue를 폐순환에 적용하여 계산된 폐혈관 유순도 (pulmonary vascular compliance, PVC, $mm^2/mmHg/m^2)$를 위험인자로 추가하였다. 전기 회로 analogue에 의하면 PVC는 폐동맥 지수 (pulmonary artery index, $mm^2/m^2$)를 총폐저항 (total pulmonary resistance, Wood $Unit{\cdot}m^2$) 및 폐 혈류량 (pulmonary blood flow, $L/min/m^2$) 으로 나눈 값으로 정의되며, 이는 폐혈관의 크기와 저항, 폐 혈류량 등을 동시에 고려하는 변수라고 할 수 있다. 결과 변수인 흉관 거치 기간은 자연로그를 취해 정규 분포화하고 이를 log indwelling time (LIT)으로 정의하였으며, 분석 대상 위험 인자들과 LIT 의 관계에 대한 다중 선형 회귀분석을 시행하였다. 결과 : 조기 사망은 없었고 만기 사망은 4 명 (4.2%)이었으며, 단심실 교정시 fenestration이 추가된 경우는 1예 있었다(1 %). 수술 전 PVC, 흉관 거치 기간, LIT는 각각 ${6{\sim}94.8\;mm^2/mmHg/m^2}$ (중간값:24.8), $3{\sim}268$일 ( 간값 : 20 일 ), $1.1{\sim}5.6$ ( 평균: 2.9, 표준 편차: 0.8) 이었다. 단변 수 분석상 FRS, PVC, 체외 순환시간 (CPB) 및 술 후 12 시간째의 중심 정맥압 등이 LIT와 연관되었으나, 다변수 분석상 PVC (p=0.0018) 및 CPB (p=0.0024)만이 독립적으로 LIT를 예측하였다. 두 변수는 LIT 변이에 대하여 21.7%의 설명력이 있었으며, 두 변수를 이용한 회귀 분석식은 다음과 같았다. LIT=2.74-0.0158 PVC+0.00658 CPB. 결론: 새로이 정의된 폐혈관 유순도는 심장 외 도관을 이용한 단심실 교정 후의 흉관 거치 기간을 결정하는 중요한 예측 인자로서, 수술 전 위험 인자 분석에 유용하게 사용될 수 있다.

The present study reports 41 cases of congenital and acquired heart diseases, who received open heart surgery under extracorporeal circulation [ECC] by Sarns Heart-Lung-Machine [HLM] at the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Hanyang University Hospital during the` period between July 1975 and February 1979. The priming of pump oxygenator was carried out by the hemodilution method using Hartman`s solution, whole blood, and fresh human plasma. The rate of hemodilution was in the average of 50.8 ml/kg. ECC was performed at the average perfusion flow rate of 85.0 ml/kg/min [2.43 L./ kg/2] and at moderate hypothermia. In the total cardiopulmonary bypass, arterial pressure ranged between 55 mmHg and 90 mmHg, but generally maintaining over 70 mmHg. Patient age ranged between 2 and 54 year old, in congenital heart diseases, between 2 and 28, in acquired heart diseases, between 17 and 54 Sex ratio of male to female was 20:21. The cases include a case of pulmonary valvular stenosis, 4 cases of atrial septal defect, 9 cases of ventricular septal defect, 9 cases of tetralogy of Fallot, 5 cases of pentalogy of Fallot, 3 cases of atypical multiple anomalies 7 cases of mitral stenosis or insufficiency, a case of myxoma in left atrium, and a case of ruptured aneurysm of Valsalva`s sinus. The surgical managements were 16 valvulotomy for pulmonary valvular stenosis, 2 Teflon patch graft closure and 5 simple suture closure of atrial septal defect, 16 Teflon patch graft closure and 5 simple suture closure of ventricular septal defect, 12 pericardial patch graft for infundibular stenosis of right ventricle, one anastomosis between left superior vena cava and right atrium, 2 open mitral commissurotomy, 5 mitral valve replacement using Starr-Edward`s ball valve, porcine xenograft by Hancock, by Carpentier-Edward, or Angell-Shiley, one removal of left atrial myxoma, and a repair of ruptured aneurysm of Valsalva`s sinus. Four [9.7%] out 41 cases expired postoperatively and the rest of 37 cases survived with satisfactory results. The causes of death were one coronary embolism in tetralogy of Fallot, 2 postoperative lower cardiac output in atypical multiple anomalies, and one right heart failure in large: ventricular septal defect with pulmonary hypertension.

Ischemia reperfusion injury occurs in various diseases. The role of oxygen free radicals in IR injury of the lung has been spotlighted and many studies have been performed. In this study, we tried to prepare a stable rat lung model for IR injury, focusing on surrounding conditions as hilar stripped left lung, clamped left pulmonary artery and bronchus,and declamped after determined period was passed, and right main pulmonary aretery was clamped. Arterial blood gas analyes were performed at 1, 10, 20, 30, minutes after reperfusion. Before clamping, PaO2 was 95 to 120 mmHg in all animals. There were six groups; Group I : temperature 15o C, and 120 minutes clamping, Group II: 20 oC, and 120 minutes clamping, Group III : 25 oC, and 120 minutes clamping, Group IV : 15oC, 90 minutes clamping, Group V : 20 oC, 90 minutes clamping,Group VI: 20 oC, 75 minutes clamping. Each groups contained 10 Sprague Dayley rats. The humidity was maintained 100 % as circulation imerged isotonic Hartmann`s solution of the pleural cavity. In group IV, V, and VI, PaO2 decreased significantly in all animals immediately after reperfusion, but 43 % survived till 10 minutes after reperfusion, it was 74.0$\pm$5.7, 73.3$\pm$10.8,and 88.2$\pm$17.7 mmHg. Pulmonary edema was observed histologically in 2/10 animals in group IV, 6/10 in group V , 3/10 in group VI, 9/10 in group I, and the other lungs showed all edema. We established a stable model by setting ischemic time,and temperature, between 75 to 90 minutes,15 to 20o C, and isotemperature Hartmann`s solution immersion of the pleural cavity.

Both flow visualizations and computational fluid dynamics were performed to determine hemodynamics in a total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC) model for surgically correcting congenital heart defects. From magnetic resonance images, an anatomically correct glass model was fabricated to visualize steady flow. The total flow rates were 4, 6 and 8L/min and flow rates from SVC and IVC were 40:60. The flow split ratio between LPA and RPA was varied by 70:30, 60:40 and 50:50. A pressure-based finite-volume software was used to solve steady flow dynamics in TCPC models. Results showed that superior vena cava(SVC) and inferior vena cava(IVC) flow merged directly to the intra-atrial conduit, creating two large vortices. Significant swirl motions were observed in the intra-atrial conduit and pulmonary arteries. Flow collision or swirling flow resulted in energy loss in TCPC models. In addition, a large intra-atrial channel or a sharp bend in TCPC geometries could influence on energy losses. Energy conservation was efficient when flow rates in pulmonary branches were balanced. In order to increase energy efficiency in Fontan operations, it is necessary to remove a flow collision in the intra-atrial channel and a sharp bend in the pulmonary bifurcation.

신생아 폐고혈압 지속증은 치료가 힘들고 사망률이 높은 질환이나, 산화질소 흡입 치료가 시행된 이후 사망률의 많은 감소를 가져왔다. 그러나, 신생아 집중 치료실이 있는 병원이라도 이러한 산화질소 흡입 치료가 가능하지 않는 곳이 많고, 산화질소 투여에도 호전되지 않는 경우도 있다. 흡입 iloprost는 최근 원발성 혹은 이차성 폐고혈압 환자에서 사용이 늘고있는 폐동맥 확장제로, 신생아 폐고혈압 지속증에 사용한 증례가 외국에 보고된 바 있다. 환아는 출생시 심한 태변 착색과 출산 질식, 진행되는 저산소증을 보였으며, 신생아 폐고혈압 지속증으로 진단되었다. 환아는 지속적인 저산소증을 보였으며, 통상적인 지지 치료에도 호전되지 않았다. 당시 저자들의 병원에는 산화질소 흡입 치료가 가능하지 않아, iloprost 흡입 치료를 시도하였다. Iloprost 흡입 치료 이후 수시간 내에 산소 포화도가 증가하였으며, 심초음파상에는 동맥관을 통한 우좌 단락이 좌우로 바뀌었고, 우심실 압력이 감소하였다. Iloprost 흡입 치료를 하는 동안 특별한 부작용은 관찰되지 않았다. 저자들은 산화질소 흡입치료가 가능하지 않은 상황에서 신생아 폐고혈압 지속증 신생아의 치료로 iloprost 흡입 치료를 시도한 경험을 보고하는 바이다.

Hypoplastic left heart complex (HLHC) consists of less severe underdevelopment of the left ventricle without intrinsic left valvular stenosis, i.e., a subset of hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS). HLHC patients may be able to undergo biventricular repair, while HLHS requires single ventricle palliation (or transplant). However, there is no consensus regarding the likelihood of favorable outcomes in neonates with HLHC selected to undergo this surgical approach. This case report describes a neonate with HLHC, co-arctation of the aorta (CoA), and patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) who was initially palliated using bilateral pulmonary artery banding due to unstable ductus-dependent circulation. A postoperative echocardiogram showed newly appearing CoA and progressively narrowing PDA, which resulted in the need for biventricular repair 21 days following the palliation surgery. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 13 without complications and is doing clinically well seven months after surgery.

Background: Thromboxane A2 and endothelin-1 are the potent vasoconstrictors affecting pulmonary pathophysiology in response to whole body inflammatin following CPB. Aprotinin, as an antiiflammatory agent, may decrease the release of such vasoactive substance from pulmonary tissues, preventing pulmonary hypertension after cardiopulmonary bypass. Material and Method: Ten mongrel dogs(Bwt. ac. 20kg) were subjected to cardioupulmonary bypass for 2 hours and postbypass pulmonary vascular resistance(0, 1, 2, 3 hours) were compared with prebypass level. The dogs were divided into 2 groups; control group(n-5) and aprotinin group(n=5). In the aprotinin group, aprotinin was administered as follows; 50,000 KIU/kg mixed in pump priming solution, 50,000 KIU/kg prebypass intravenous infusion over 30 minutes, 10,000 KIU/kg/hour postbypass continuous infusion. Prebypass and postbypass 0, 1, 2, 3 hour pulmonary vascular resistance were measured. At prebypass and postbypass 0, 90, 180 minutes, blood samples were obtained from pulmonary arterial and left atrial catherers for the assay of plasma thromboxane B2 a stable metabolite of thromboxane A2, and endothelin-1 concentrations. Result: The ratios of pustbypass over prebypass pulmonary vascular at postbypass 0, 1, 2, 3 hours were 1.28$\pm$0.20, 1.82$\pm$0.23, 1.90$\pm$0.19, 2.14$\pm$0.18 in control group, 1.58$\pm$0.18, 1.73$\pm$0.01, 1.66$\pm$0.10, 1.50$\pm$0.08 in aprotinin group ; the ratios gradually increased in control group while decreased or fluctuated after postbypass 1 hour in aprotinin group. There was statistically significant difference between control group and aprotinin group at postbypass 3 hours(P=0.014). Pulmonary arterial plasma concentration of thromboxane B2(pg/ml) at prebypass, postbypass 0, 90, 180 minutes were 346.4$\pm$61.9, 529.3$\pm$197.6, 578.3$\pm$255.8, 493.3$\pm$171.3 in control group, 323.8$\pm$118.0, 422.6$\pm$75.6, 412.3$\pm$59.9, 394.5$\pm$154.0 in aprotinin group. Left atrial concentrations were 339.3$\pm$89.2, 667.0$\pm$65.7, 731.2$\pm$192.7, 607.5$\pm$165.9 in control group, 330.0$\pm$111.2, 468.4$\pm$190.3, 425.4$\pm$193.6, 4.7.3$\pm$142.8 in aprotinin group. These results showed decrement of pulmonary thromboxane A2 generation in aprotinin group. Pulmonary arterial concentrations of endothelin-1(fmol/ml) at the same time sequence were 7.84$\pm$0.31, 13.2$\pm$0.51, 15.0$\pm$1.22, 16.3$\pm$1.73 in control group, 7.76$\pm$0.12, 15.3$\pm$0.71, 22.6$\pm$6.62, 14.9$\pm$1.11 in aprotinin group. Left atrial concentrations were 7.61$\pm$17.2, 57.1$\pm$28.4, 18.9$\pm$18.2, 31.5$\pm$20.5 in control group, 5.61$\pm$7.61, 37.0$\pm$26.2, 28.6$\pm$21.7, 37.8$\pm$30.6 in aprotinin group. These results showed that aprotinin had no effect on plasma endothelin-1 concentration after cardiopulmonary bypass. Conclusion: Administration of aprotinin during cardiopulmonary bypass could attenuate the increase in pulmonary vascular resistance after bypass. Inhibition of pulmonary thromboxane A2 generation was thought to be one of the mechanism of this effect. Aprotinin had no effect on postbypass endothelin-1 concentration.

Atrial septal defect is one of the most frequently encountered congenital heart disease. Up to December 31, 1976, 1682 cardiac patients received cardiac catheterization in the cardiac department of Yonsei university medical college. Out of the 1682 cardiac patients 723 cases had congenital heart disease and only 116 cases had congetial atrial septal defect. This amounted to 16.04% of all those with congenital heart disease. 58 cases of congenital atrial septal defect operated in the chest surgery department were presented. Of these 58 cases of atrial septal defect, 27 cases were male and 31 cases were female. Their ages ranged from 5 years to 54 years. The systolic pressure of the main pulmonary artery of 40 out of the 58 cases of atrial septal defect was below 40% of that of the systemic blood pressure: in 6 cases, the range of the systolic pressure of the main pulmonary artery was 50-90mmHg; in 12 cases, the range of the systolic pressure of the main pulmonary artery was 40-50mmHg. Average age of these was 30. 1 years. This study tends to show that Korean patients with atrial septal defect even though younger have a slight higher systolic pressure of the main pulmonary artery than Western patients have. The pulmonary blood is 1.5-2.5 times of systemic blood flow in 52 cases out of 58 cases of atrial septal defect.In only one of the 58 cases of atrial septal defect, the Rp was found to be as high as 45% of Rs. All other cases were below this level.51 cases had ostium secundum defect, 4 out of these cases had ostium secundum defect combined with mitral incompetence and 6 out of them had double ostium secundum defect. The remaining 7 cases had ostium primum defect. Their atrial defects were repaired under direct vision utilizing extracorporeal circulation, by hemodilution technic combined with moderate hypothermia. 44 cases [2nd atrial septal defect] were repaired by direct sutures while 14 cases, including the 7 cases ostium primum defects needed patches [1 pericardium and 13 teflon patch]. In 4 cases there were single defects while showed two defects. However the associated septal defect was so small that it could be closed by direct sutures. The size of the defect ranged between 6.0cm2and 10.0cm2 in 19 cases[33.7%]: the smallest being 0. 5cm2 and the largest 24cm2. The surgical mortality was 2 cases [3.4%]. These one case with ostium primum defect, could not be resuscitated on operation table. The cause of death in this case was myocardial failure and MI. The other, a case of ostium primum defect had a second operation on the first operative day due to massive bleeding from LV vent-line insertion site.The patient died on 26th post-operative day due to sepsis.
