Abstract

Purpose : Aneurysms of sinus valsalva are rare anormalies thought to be primarily congenital in origin, progressing into death by acute heart failure in cases of rupture. Surgical correction is the only method of treatment. With these clinical implications, we reviewed the clinical characteristics and surgical results of patients with ruptured sinus of valsalva aneurysm. Methods : Between January 1991 and February 2004, 17 patients with ruptured sinus of valsalva aneurysm were retrospectively reviewed for their clinical symptoms, physical findings, past history, coexistent cardiac anormalies, surgical results, and mid-term prognosis. Results : The 17 patients included 13 men and four women, with a mean age of 30 years(10-59 years). Preoperatively accompanying cardiac anormalies were ventricular septal defect(VSD, eight cases of doubly committed juxta-arterial VSD) and aortic insufficiency(11 cases). During operations, patterns of fistulous tracts were found to be right colonary sinus-right ventricle in 13 patients, right coronary sinus-right atrium in one, noncoronary sinus - right ventricle in two, noncoronary sinus - right atrium in one, and VSD was noticed in 14 patients(all were doubly committed juxta-arterial in type). The defects were closed with a patch in 13 patients, without a patch in four, with concommitant aortic valve replacement in four and with aortic valvuloplasty in two. There were no mortalities during operations or the mid-term follow-up periods($40{\pm}49$ months). Conclusion : Because, at least in Orientals, VSD(especially doubly committed juxta-arterial) was accompanied in large numbers of patients with aneurysms of sinus valsalva, preoperative evaluations of this congenital heart disease should be made very careful. And we may need to revise the algorithm of treatment policy in small sized doubly committed juxta-arterial VSD.

목 적 : 발살바동 동맥류는 선천성으로 발생하며 비교적 드문 질환이나 파열시 급성 심부전으로 진행되어 사망할 수 있으므로 수술만이 유일한 치료방법이다. 이에 저자는 지난 14년간 발살 바동 동맥류 파열로 수술을 받은 환자들을 대상으로 임상적 특징 및 수술 결과에 대하여 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 이번 연구는 1990년 1월부터 2004년 2월까지 경북대학교병원에서 발살바동 동맥류 파열로 진단 받은 17명의 환자를 대상으로 임상증상, 이학적 소견, 과거병력, 동반 심질환 유무, 수술소견 및 장기적인 예후에 대하여 조사하였다. 결 과 : 남자가 13례, 여자가 4례 였으며, 평균연령은 $30{\pm}12.5$세(10-59세)였다. 술전 시행한 초음파 검사상 동반된 심질환으로는 심실 중격 결손이 8례(모두 이중연관 동맥하 결손), 대동맥 폐쇄부전이 11례에서 관찰되었다. 수술 소견상 누공의 위치는 우관상 동맥동-우심실 13례, 우관상 동맥동-우심방 1례, 비관상동맥동-우심실 2례 그리고 비관상 동맥동-우심방이 1례였으며, 심실 중격 결손이 14례에서 관찰되었으며, 모두 이중연관 동맥하결손이었다. 수술방법은 13례에서 첩포봉합, 4례에서 단순봉합을 실시하였으며, 대동맥판막 치환술은 4례, 대동맥판막 성형술은 2례에서 시행되었다. 수술로 인한 사망은 한 례도 없었으며, 추적 관찰기간($40{\pm}49$개월) 중 심질환으로 사망한 례도 없었다. 결 론 : 발살바동 동맥류는 많은 환자에서 심실 중격 결손, 특히 이중연관 동맥하 결손을 동반하므로, 심초음파 검사를 시행할 때 이 결손을 찾기 위해 세밀한 주의가 필요하다. 나아가서 크기가 작은 이중연관 동맥하 심실 중격 결손의 치료 방침도 재조명할 필요가 있을 것이다.
