Percutaneous pulmonary valvuloplasty was performed in 19 patients of congenital pulmonary valve stenosis. Pulmonary annulus diameter was estimated by cross sectional echocardiography and right ventricular cineangiography. The size of balloon dilatation catheter was chosen by the same size of the estimated pulmonary annulus in the first 3 patients and 20 \ulcorner30% greater than the annulus in the last 17 patients. After valvuloplasty a satisfactory results was obtained in most patients. Before dilatation, the right ventricular systolic pressure was 91.7 mmHg[range 58-150 mmHg] and it fell to 49.2mmHg[25-85 mmHg] after dilatation. The transvalvular gradient was 67.7 mmHg[33 \ulcorner120 mmHg] before dilatation and it fell to 23.7mmHg [5 \ulcorner62] after dilatation. Repeat cardiac catheterization has been scheduled in all patients 3 months after the initial valvuloplasty but follow up recatheterization was performed in only two patients; in one of them residual gradient of 50 mmHg was reduced to 30 mmHg by repeat valvuloplasty. The other patient showed no evidence of restenosis with transvalvular gradient of 20 mmHg The balloon used for valvuloplasty was single balloon for the first 10 cases and for the later 10 cases it was replaced by Trefoil balloon which was easier for inflation and deflation. There were no significant complications during and after the procedure. From our results, we conclude that balloon valvuloplasty for congenital pulmonary valve stenosis is the treatment of choice in most patients.

A 6-month-old intact male Maltese dog (2.5 kg of body weight) was presented with the primary complaint of heart murmur and exercise intolerance. Diagnostic studies revealed severe pulmonic stenosis. Since the pressure gradient in stenotic pulmonic valve area was higher than 200 mmHg (maximum flow velocity = 7.1 m/s), the dog was underwent balloon valvuloplasty. With this procedure, the peak pulmonic velocity was reduced to 3.0 m/s (PG = 36 mmHg). Periodic re-evaluations performed in monthly interval revealed no further deterioration even after 4 month of procedure. This is the first case report of pulmonic stenosis fixed by non-surgical balloon valvuloplasty in Korea.

Aortic valve insufficiency with ventricular septal defect is usually treatment by plication of prolased cusps. We have performed the aortic valvuloplasty by the Trusler`s method in 14 patients of ventricular septal defect associated with aortic insufficiency. The reoperations were performed in the 4 cases[29%] due to recurrent aortic insufficiency after aotic valvuloplasty. Two patients underwent aoritc valvular replacements for the tears of repaired aortic cusps after primary aortic valvuloplasty for aortic insufficiency. The other two patients had aortic valvuloplasties again. Death occured in one case of aortic valvular replacements. The cause of death was low cardiac output syndrome soon after aortic valvular replacement for recurrent aortic insufficiency .

A nine-month-old Pomeranian dog with exercise intolerance and syncope was presented. The dog was depressed with grade 4 systolic murmur on cardiac auscultation. Based on cardiac examination, the dog was diagnosed with severe subaortic stenosis with involvement of the anterior mitral valve. ${\beta}-blocker$ administration was initiated and clinical signs were improved, but not fully resolved. Balloon valvuloplasty was performed and the dog survived for nearly one year without clinical sign and the cardiac troponin I level was normalized. This case describes successful management of severe subaortic stenosis in a small breed dog through balloon valvuloplasty.

We report a rare case of an extremely large right ventricular myxoma involving the ventricular side of the tricuspid valve. The tumor was excised along with the entire posterior leaflet and part of the anterior leaflet. The tricuspid valve was repaired by sliding valvuloplasty combined with ring annuloplasty.

심실중격결손을 동반하지 않은 폐동맥 폐쇄(pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum)는 전체 선천적 심장병의 1%를 차지하는 드문 질환으로 형태학적 특성에 따라 다양한 치료적 접근이 필요하다. 이에 저자들은 정상 크기발달의 우심실을 가진 심실중격결손을 동반하지 않은 폐동맥 폐쇄가 있는 신생아에서 풍선판막성형술 후 지속적인 저산소증을 보여 동맥관 스텐트를 이용하여 거의 정상적인 심장구조와 기능으로 호전된 1례를 경험하였기에 보고하는 바이다.

4개월령 수컷 박서 개(체중: 9 Kg)가 심잡음과 운동불내성을 주요 증상으로 내원하였다. 진단검사를 통해 환자는 대동맥 판막하 협착에 이환된 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 협착된 부위의 압력구배는 120 mmHg(와류의 속도: 5.4 m/s)이상이었으며, 환자는 풍선 확장술을 통해 임상증상을 개선하였다. 환자는 시술 후 주기적으로 모니터링 하였으며 다른 임상증상은 관찰되지 않았다. 이는 우리나라에서 대동맥 판막하 협착증에 이환된 환자에게 풍선 확장술을 통해 임상증상을 경감시킨 최초의 증례이다.

9개월령 프렌치불독(체중 13 kg)이 심한 심잡음과 운동불내성으로 내원하였다. 영상진단검사상, 폐동맥에서 5 m/s이상의 고속의 젯트와 우심실 비대가 확인되었다. 우심실과 유출로 사이의 압력구배가 100 mmHg이상이여서 풍선확장술로 치료하였다. 치료후 폐동맥에서 젯트속도는 2.1 m/s (PG = 18 mmHg)이하로 감속되었다. 환자는 그 이후에 별다른 진단검사상 악화소견이 관찰되지 않았다. 본 증례는 대퇴정맥으로 폐동맥 협착을 풍선확장술로 치료한 국내 첫 증례이다.

Ventricular septal defect[VSD] associated with aortic regurgitation[AR] represents 2 to 7.5% of all VSD which is most common congenital heart disease. The aortic valve may by normal in infants with VSD, but the aortic regurgitation may be developed in these patients later. The aortic valve became fibrotic, thickened, deformed and prolapsed, so these late deformities require to be corrected with plication, valvuloplasty or aortic valve replacement [AVR]. There are some controversy between the early repair of VSD alone and the late repair of VSD and aortic valve till now. From December 1971 to August 1983, we had experienced 24 patients of VSD associated with AR which constitute 6.5% of our total patients with VSD. The VSD was subpulmoary [type I] in 14[58.3%], subcristal [type II] in 8[33.3%], atrioventricular canal type[type III] in 1, and combine of type I and II in 1. Patch repair of VSD was made in 15 patients and direct suture of small VSD in 9.14 patients had aortic plication of valvuloplasty and 9 had AVR accompanying VSD repair, and 1 patient had VSD closure alone. The postoperative courses of these patients were uneventful except in some cases. A patient who was undertaken AVR with Starr-Edwards ball valve and VSD closure, died due to left ventricular failure and low cardiac output syndrome. Follow up shows, in 14 patients with aortic plication or valvuloplasty, AR was developed in 9. In 9 AVR, there were two later complications which were paravalvular leakage in one and re-AVR due to subacute bacterial endocarditis in another.

배경: 본 연구의 목적은 선천성 대동맥 판막협착증의 치료 술식에 따른 성적 및 추적 결과를 조사하여 증상이 나타나는 시기와 판막 형태에 따라서 바람직한 치료 술식을 알아보는 것이다. 대상 및 방법: 1987년 8월부터 2004년 6월까지 선천성 대동맥 판막협착증의 진단으로 시술 또는 수술 및 재수술을 시행한 53명을 대상으로 하였다(평균 연령=$8.2{\pm}6.0$세). 이중 49% (26/53)에서 이엽성 판막이었다. 시행한 시술은 경피적 풍선 판막성형술 16예, 대동맥 판막성형술 32예, Ross 술식 19예, 그리고 대동맥 판막 치환 14예였다. 평균 추적기간은 처음 수술을 받은 후부터 평균 $80.6{\pm}60$개월$(0{\sim}207)$이었다. 결과: 조기 사망은 15.1% (8/53)이었고 만기 사망은 없었다 사망원인은 위급한 대동맥 판막협착증(critical aortic stenosis)으로 초기에 대동맥 판막성형술을 시행했던 6예(1세 미만; 4예)와 Ross 술식과 판막치환을 시행한 환자에서 각각 1예씩 발생하였다 경피적 풍선 판막성형술은 위급한 대동맥 판막 협착증의 처음 치료술식(initial operation)으로 16예 중 14예에서 재수술이 필요하였고 10예에서 Ross술식이 행하여 졌다. 대동맥 판막성형술을 시행한 32예 중 13예에서 재수술이 필요하였고 9예에서 판막치환, 4예에서 Ross술식이 시행되었다. Ross술식을 시행한 19예 중 2예에서 재수술이 필요하였다. Ross술식의 7년 실제 생존율은 90.5%였다. 결론:선천성 대동맥 판막협착증의 치료는 1세 미만에서는 경피적 풍선 판막성형술은 고식적이지만 초기 시술로서 안전하게 시술될 수 있었다. 1세 이상에서는 대동맥 판막성형술이 비교적 만족스런 장기 성적을 보였다. Ross 술식은 최근에는 안전하게 시술될 수 있었고 장기 성적도 나쁘지 않았다.
