Abstract
Patients over 15 years of age who have undergone a surgical correction of congenital heart disease at Kyungpook University Hospital during the period of January 1990 through October 1994 have been reviewed . One hundred forty three, 22.4 % of 628 operations, which have repaired congenital heart diseases during this period were adult patients. There were 23 patients under 20 years of age, 58 between 20∼29 years, 34 between 30∼39 years, 18 between 40∼49 years, and 10 between 50∼59 years. The most common defects were atrial septal defects which accounted for 73 cases (51.1 %) and other common anomalies were ven- tricular septal defects (57 cases, 39.9 %), tetralogy of Falloffs(4 cases, 2.8%) in order of incidence. There were 10 non-fatal operative complications (6.9 %) but there was no operative mortality. This study shows the incidence of operable congenital heart diseases in adults and the fact that it could be corrected surgically with low mortality and morbidity.
경북대학교 병원에서는 1990년 1월부터 1994년 10월까지 그 연령이 15세 이상인 선천성 심장병 환자 를 수술적 치료로 교정하였다 이 기간동안 총 628례의 선천성 심장병 환자중 22.4%인 143명이 성인 환자였다. 그중 10대가 23례, 20대가 58례, 30대가 34례, 40대가 18례, 50대가 10례였다. 가장 많은 질환은 전체의 51.1 % (73례)를 차지한 심방중격결손이었고, 39.9 % (57례)의 심실중격결손, 2.8 % (4례)의 활로씨 4징후순이었다. 술후 합병증은 10례 (6.9 %)에서 있었고 수술 사망은 없었다 이상의 결과로 성인에 있어서 수술이 가능한 예의 빈도를 알수 있었으며,이러한 경우에는적은수술 사망과 술후 합병증으로 수술이 가능하였다.
