Pulmonary atresia with VSD is uncommon congenital anomaly with high mortality in neonatal period. Recently we experienced surgical correction of 2 cases of pulmonary atresia with VSD. The first case was 7-year old female patient and diagnosed as pulmonary atresia with VSD combined PDA. So, total correction was undertaken which consisted of PDA ligation, patch repair of VSD, transannular enlargement of RVOT with woven Dacron vascular graft, and closure of PFO. Postoperative systemic Rt. ventricular and radial artery pressure ratio was 0.44 and her postoperative course was uneventful. The second case was 6-year old male patient diagnosed as pulmonary atresia with VSD and large systemic-pulmonary collateral arteries. There were two large systemic-pulmonary collaterals, one was simply controlled by ligation, but the other was considered to supply Rt. upper lung. So end to side anastomosis was performed to the RVOT patch. Postoperative systolic Rt. ventricular and radial artery pressure ratio was 0.54. During the follow up period he showed clinical picture of Rt. heart failure, which is relatively well controlled with anticongestive therapy.

세종병원 흉부외과에서는 폐동맥 페색증, 좌측폐동맥 무형성증, 심실중격결손증, 다발성 MAPCA등을 동반한 상행 대동맥으로부터 이상기시한 우폐동맥 11례를 경험하였다. 10개월 때 1단계 수술로써 좌측 unifocalization과 함께 좌폐동맥을 만들고 우폐동맥 벤딩을 하였고, 1개월후 우측 MAPCA의 coil 색전술 단계를 거쳐, 1년후 완전 교정술을 시행하였다. 술후 경과는 양호하였고 수술 1년후 조영술과 혈역학적 검사상 만족스런 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

We generated a transgenic male cloned pig which was derived from fibroblast of white Yucatan miniature pig. After 2 weeks of birth, umbilical hernia which was not easily reduced was identified. Considering the usefulness of cloned pig, surgical treatment for umbilical hernia correction was performed and a cloned pig has been maintained healthy. This is the first report and can be useful for the treatments of umbilical hernia of cloned piglets.

The simultaneous surgical correction of bilateral cleft lip and nasal deformity has become a more common surgical technique that has greatly changed conventional strategies for secondary nasal correction. Mulliken has been known as one of the earliest proponents for the synchronous repair of bilateral cleft lip and nasal deformity, and he emphasized the responsibility of the treating surgeon to evaluate nasolabial growth by comparing anthropometric measurements with age-matched normal patients. Good outcomes from this surgical method have been reported in clinical cases worldwide. Herein, we describe the management of two cases of bilateral cleft repair, following the principles and methods established by Mulliken. We also provide a relevant review of the literature.

The role of the Orthodontist in cleft lip and cleft palate therapy is primarily ill correction of malocclusion which is required by practically every child who has these defects. He can contribute to the assessment of dento-facial growth and development. We may gain the possible limited correction of delayed malocclusion due to cleft lip and palate. The authors have attempted delayed orthodontic treatment of a cleft lip and palate of 12.9 years old girl, who had a cleft lip and palate of surgical closure at 2,3 and 4 years old.

Within the group of congenital cardiac anomalies manifesting atrioventricular discordance, there exists a subset of hearts characterized by the additional presence of double outlet of the morphological right ventricle. Most of these hearts have associated pulmonary stenosis and abnormal direction of the cardiac apex, and all have a ventricular septal defect. Recently, a 10-year old boy underwent successful surgical correction of double outlet right ventricle with atrioventricular discordance. Diagnostic confirmation was made by 2-D echocardiography, cardiac catheterization and cineangiocardiography. The operation consisted of patch closure of ventricular septal defect so as to leave both great arteries draining the systemic[morphologically right] ventricle, and insertion of an extracardiac valved conduit between the morphological left ventricle and the distal end of the proximally oversewn pulmonary artery. Postoperative course was uneventful.

Between July, 1990 and July, 1992, 6 male patients of truncus arteriosus, whose age ranged from 2 months to 18 months, underwent total surgical correction without a extracardiac conduit. Their anatomic types were type I in 3, type II in 2 and III, in one by the Collett-Edwards classification. Surgical techniques were similar to the first description by Lecompte except for the fact that distal pulmonary arterial stumps were approximated to ventriculotomy site without Lecompte maneuver in all cases. Also in all cases, mon-ocusps were placed using glutaraldehyde fixed autologous pericardial patch directly in right ventricular outflow tract. Three patients died postoperatively and the causes of death were myocardial failure, pulmonary hypertensive crisis and pulmonary complication due to progressive pulmonary vascualr obstructive disease respectively. The three survivors have been followed up for 6~10 months with good functional results.

Within the group of congenital cardiac anomalies manifesting dextrocardia and double-outlet right ventricle, ventricular non-inversion [S.D.L] is extremely rare. Recently, a 5 year-old boy underwent a successful surgical correction of dextrocardia associated with double-outlet right ventricle, ventricular non-inversion [S.D], ventricular septal defect, pulmonary stenosis, and patent foramen ovale. The operation consisted of construction of an internal baffle connecting the left ventricle to the aorta through the large ventricular septal defect [subaortic]. The pulmonary stenosis was managed by infundibulectomy and patch enlargement of the right ventricular wall. The patient`s postoperative recovery has been uneventful, and 2 months after the operation, he is doing well.

Membranous obstruction of the inferior vena cava[IVC] is a rare congenital anomaly that may present clinical features of Budd-Chiari syndrome caused by chronic obstruction of hepatic drain. We have experienced a case of IVC obstruction caused by hour-glass constriction and membrane in its center. Operative correction was accomplished using profound hypothermia [20%] and total circulatory arrest of 26 minutes. This technique permitted resection of membrane with direct vision and removal of thrombus of IVC and hepatic vein. After then constricted IVC was repaired with autologous pericardial patch. Total circulatory arrest was used intermittently for good visual field. Postoperative course was smooth and postoperative angiography showed unobstructed flow through the IVC in spite of slight constriction of cavoatrial junction and nearly complete disappearance of collateral vessels.

Transposition is defined as a dental anomaly manifested by a positional interchange of 2 adjacent teeth within the same quadrant of the dental arch. Maxillary canine-first premolar [Mx4-3] transposition is the most frequent tooth transposition reported in the literature. In this case report, an orthodontic correction of a transposition of the maxillary left canine and first premolar with the help of palatally located mini-implant anchorage is described. Esthetic and occlusal evaluations suggested alignment of the transposed teeth to their correct anatomic positions in the dental arch. The clinical result at the end of the treatment was satisfactory. Alignment was obtained, and intercuspation was adequate. Nevertheless, the maxillary canine showed facial recession, probably because it was initially positioned buccally. Supporting tissue was examined after treatment and no alveolar bone damage was observed.
