Thirteen patients with cyanotic cardiac malformations having more complex intracardiac defects, hemodynamics and operative procedures than ones in Tetralogy of Fallot undertaken total surgical corrections from July 1981 to August 1985. The cases of corrective surgery for complex cardiac malformations were 3.9% of all congenital cardiac malformations and 12.6% of cyanotic cardiac malformations. Six patients died within 30 days after surgery. So operative mortality was 46%; Transposition of the great arteries, two of 4 patients, due to low cardiac output syndrome and tracheal bleeding ; Univentricular heart, one of 3 patients, due to bleeding; Corrected transposition of the great arteries, one of 2 patients, due to acute heart failure; Tricuspid atresia, one of 2 patients, due to low cardiac output syndrome; Double outlet right ventricle, one of single patient, due to respiratory failure. The cases of surgical correction for complex cardiac malformations are progressively increasing in numbers. The more accurate evaluation of anatomical condition and hemodynamics in preoperative diagnosis, studies on applicable surgical procedure and perioperative care of patients are necessary in the improvement of clinical and surgical results.

Last year in this department 100 cases of open heart surgery were done annually. This year 200 cases of open heart surgery were scheduled. During the first 6 months of this year 112 open heart surgery cases were done with 13 deaths [11.6%]. There were 72 cases of cougenital malformation with 9 operative deaths [12.5%], consisting of 23 acyanotic cases with one death [4.5%] and 49 cases of cyanotic cases with 8 deaths [16.3%]. Out of 40 tetralogy of Fallot, 6 cases expired [15%]. For 39 cases of acquired valvular heart disease and one Ebstein anomaly valves were replaced with 4 operative deaths [10%]. Single valve replacement in 33 with 3 operative deaths and double valve replacement in 7 cases with one death were noted. Two patients expired among 28 mitral valve replacement cases [7.1%]. Among 7 double valve replacement patients, consisting of 3 mitral and aortic and 4 mitral and tricuspid valve replacement one case expired. In a case of Ebstein anomaly, tricuspid valve was replaced with plication of atrialized right ventricle successfully. The operative result was excellent.

Between January of 1980 and December of 1989, we are encountered 121 cases of Down syndrome here at Yonsei University Medical Center. of these being endocardial cushion defect, ventricular septal defect, tetralogy of Fallot, atrial septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus and complicated anomalies. The mean age was 1 month 2 years with the sexual division at 31 males and 29 females. Among these 60 patients, 10 of them were treated trough surgical management, 8 of them being open heart surgeries, the 8 open heart surgeries are broken down as follow: 4 total correction of ECD, 2 patch repair of VSD, 1 total correction of TOF, 1 patch repair of ASD secundum. Another 2 operative management are ligation of PDA and modified Blalock - Taussig shunt of TOF. Postoperatively all patients were weaned and extubated on an artificial ventilator without any respiratory complications, and were discharged without incident.

Two hundred and six cases of open heart surgery were done with over all mortality of 8.3% during 1978 in this Department. There were 130 congenital and 76 acquired cases. In congenital anomaly 58 cases were acyanotic and 72 cyanotic, which showed 3.4% and 12.5% of operative mortality respectively. Thirty-six cases of ventricular septal defect and 10 atrial septal defect were repaired without mortality but in 60 cases of tetralogy of Fallot it was 10%. In 76 cases of acquired lesions 74 were valvular cases. There were 75 cases of valve replacement with over all operative mortality of 8%. In 75-valve replacement one case of Ebstein anomaly was found. There were 62 cases of single valve and 13 double valve replacement. In every case tissue valve was utilized and coumadin and Persantin 75 were administered as anticoagulant treatment for one year.

Double outlet right ventricle (DORV) is a relatively common congenital heart disease in which both great arteries are connected completely or predominantly to the morphologic RV. Unlike other congenital heart diseases, DORV demonstrates various anatomic and hemodynamic subtypes, mimicking ventricular septal defect, tetralogy of Fallot, transposition of the great arteries, and functional single ventricle. Because different surgical strategies are applied to different subtypes of DORV with ventricular septal defects, a detailed assessment of intracardiac anatomy should be performed preoperatively. Due to high spatial and contrast resolutions, cardiac CT can provide an accurate characterization of various intracardiac morphologic features of DORV. In this pictorial essay, major anatomic factors affecting surgical decision-making in DORV with ventricular septal defects were comprehensively reviewed using three-dimensional cardiac CT data. In addition, the surgical procedures available for these patients and major postoperative complications are described.

From Jan. 1962 to Aug. 1983, one hundred patients with cyanotic heart disease underwent various palliative operations at the department of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, S.N.U.H. In the period from Jan. 1962 to Dec. 1973, in which the open heart surgery was not routinely performed, sixty-two operations including 2 cases of second shunt operation were performed in sixty patients, and all of them were tetralogy of Fallot except three cases. Various palliative procedures such as Glenn, Brock, Waterston and Blalock-Taussing operation were used in this period with overall mortality rate of 16%. In the period from Jan. 1980 to Aug. 1983, forty patients with cyanotic heart disease were operated and majority of them was complex anomalies. Only Blalock-Taussing operation was used in this period with a mortality rate of 20%. These two groups of patients were compared according to age, diagnosis and results of operations, and it appears that Blalock-Taussing operation is effective palliation for patients with cyanotic heart disease, especially with complex anomaly, with an acceptable mortality.

Total 193 patients over 16 years of age who have underwent a surgical correction of congenital heart diseases during the period 1964 to September of 1979 were reviewed. 106 patients were male and 87 patients were female. 85 patients were in the ages of 16 years through 20 years. The oldest patient was 54 years old male who had atrial septal defect. The commonest defects were atrial septal defect that accounted for 66 cases [34.2%]. Ventricular septal defect was next one that accounted for 66 cases [34.2%]. Patients with tetralogy of Fallot defects were 34 cases [17.6%]. 25 cases had patent ductus arteriosus [13.0%]. Patients with pulmonary stenosis were 17 cases [8.8%] and transposition of the great arteries cases were 2 cases [1%]. There were 14 cases of operative death in this series. So operative mortality rate was 7.3%. The commonest cause of death was low output syndrome and next was renal failure. This reviewed series reveals the incidence of operable congenital heart defects appearing in adult cardiac surgical patients and an aggressive surgical approach can be justified with low operative mortality like as pediatric age group.
