Total anomalous venous return defines a group of congenital heart disease which have in common the entire pulmonary venous drainage returning directly or indirectly to the right atrium instead of to the left atrium. Despite of recent advance in treatment, this severe malformation in its various anatomical forms has a high surgical mortality during early infancy. Because of the high mortality in the untreated infant and the surgical risk in the first year of life, the timing of the operation remains important for optimal result. Three cases of T APV R, two supracardiac types and one mixed type, were treated with extracorporeal circulation during last three years in the Dept. of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Seoul National University Hospital. The first one was 10 months old male with supracardiac type which drained through left innominate vein, and he was operated with profound hypothermia and total circulatory arrest but failed. The second case was 7 years old male with supracardiac type drained through left innominate vein, and he was well post operatively, and followed periodically for 12 months. The third case was 24 years old female with mixed type drainage (left upper pulmonary vein drained through left innominate vein, and the others through coronary sinus) was successfully corrected, and she was followed for 4 month without problem. All cases were diagnosed with cardiac catheterization and angiocardiogram, and also with echocardiogram in last two cases. In first two cases of supracardiac type, total circulatory arrest was used in brief period during anastomosis between common pulmonary venous trunk and left atrium. In the last case of mixed type, usual cardiopulmonary bypass with moderate hypothermia was used and total circulatory arrest was not needed.

Cor triatriatum is rare congenital heart disease which is another variant of anomalous pulmonary venous return. It has abnormal fibromuscular diaphragm between true left atrium and accessary chamber which has one or more orifice to the left atrium. In classic form, the patient dies within several months after birth due to pulmonary hypertension inevitably, so it is rarely found in adult. With priopertive echocardiogram and cineangiogram we had two impressions, left atrial cystor cortriatriatum. At operative finding, there was no visible combined anomaly except accessary chamber which received all pulmonary venous return that drained into the left atrium through small calcified orifice. The operation was performed by simple resection of the diaphragm under cardiopulmonary bypass. The postope rative course was uneventful.

With advancements in complex repairs in neonates with complicated congenital heart diseases, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been increasingly used as cardiac support. ECMO has also been increasingly used for low birth weight (LBW) or very low birth weight (VLBW) neonates. However, since prematurity and LBW are risk factors for ECMO, the appropriate indications for neonates with LBW, especially VLBW, are under dispute. We report a case of ECMO performed in a 1,360-g premature infant with VLBW due to cardiopulmonary bypass weaning failure after repairing infracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous return.

We experienced 1 year old female patient with partial anomalous pulmonary venous return of the right lung into the inferior vena cava with atrial septal defect. Total anomalous venous drainage from the right lung is an uncommon form of congenital defect, and it may or may not be associated with an atrial septal defect. One patient having this venous anomaly is presented with a detailed description of the surgical reconstruction used. The postoperative result has been satisfactory.

Background: Surgical repair of partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (PAPVR) to the superior vena cava (SVC) using the Warden procedure has favorable outcomes. However, there remain some concerns after the Warden procedure, such as sinoatrial nodal dysfunction and systemic or pulmonary venous stenosis. We investigated the outcomes of the Warden procedure for repair of PAPVR to the SVC. Methods: This retrospective study included 22 consecutive patients who underwent the Warden procedure for PAPVR between 2002 and 2018. The median age and body weight at operation were 27.5 months (interquartile range [IQR], 5.0-56.8 months) and 13.2 kg (IQR, 6.5-16.0 kg), respectively. The median follow-up duration was 6.2 years (IQR, 3.5-11.6 years). Results: There were no cases of early or late mortality. No patients had postoperative heart rhythm problems, except 1 patient who showed transient sinoatrial nodal dysfunction in the immediate postoperative period. Procedure-related complications requiring reintervention occurred in 5 patients, including 3 of 4 SVC stenosis cases and 2 pulmonary venous stenosis cases during follow-up. The rate of freedom from reintervention related to the Warden procedure was 75.9% at 10 years. Conclusion: In cases requiring extension or creation of an atrial septal defect to achieve a sufficient venous pathway, or interposition of an entire circumferential conduit between the SVC and right atrium due to the shortness of the SVC in the Warden procedure, stenotic complications of the venous pathway occurred. Careful observation of changes in the pressure gradient or anatomical stenosis is required in such patients.

From February 1982 to December 1991, 49 neonates and 105 infants in less than 3 months of age underwent open heart surgery in Seoul National University Hospital. There were 98 males and 56 females, and their mean ages were 16 days in neonatal group and 67 days in early infant group. Their body weight and height were less than 3 percentile of normal developmental pattern. In order of decreasing incidence, the corrected conditions included Transposition of great arteries with or without ventricular septal defect [43], isolated ventricular septal defect [34], Total anomalous pulmonary venous return [21], Pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum [9] and others [47]. Various corrective or palliative procedures were performed on these patients; Arterial switch operation [36], patch closure for ventricular septal defect [34], Repair of total anomalous pulmonary venous return [21], RVOT reconstruction for congenital anomalies with compromised right ventricular outflow tract [17]. Profound hypothermia and circulatory arrest were used in 94 patients [ 61% ]: 42 patients [ 85.7% ] for neonatal group and 52 patients [ 49.5% ] for early infant group. The durations of circulatory interruption were within the safe margin according to the corresponding body temperature in most cases [ 84% ]. The hospital mortality was 36.4% ; 44.9% in neonatal group and 32.4% in infant group 1 to 3 months of age. The mortality was higher in cyanotic patients [ 46.6% ], in those who underwent palliative procedures [ 57.8% ], in patients whose circulatory arrest time was longer than safe periods [ 60% 0] and in patients who had long periods of cardiopulmonary bypss and aortic crossclamping. In conclusion, there has been increasing incidence of open heart surgery in neonates and early infants in recent years and the technique of deep hypothermia and circulatory arrest was applied in most of these patients, and the mortality was higher in cyanotic neonates who underwent palliative procedures and who had long cardiopulmonary bypass , aortic cross-clamping and circulatory arrest.

Adverse events or emergency situations that are unacceptable in the context of lung transplantation may occur during the procedure. These adverse events and circumstances are not problems that are caused by insufficient experience or can be solved by increasing surgical experience. The purpose of this review is to describe the adverse events and circumstances that occur during lung transplantation and to identify an appropriate surgical approach through an analysis of case reports in the global literature.

Pulmonary sequestration is applied to the congenital malformation characterized by an area of embryonic lung tissue that derives its blood supply from an anomalous systemic artery. Two cases of pulmonary sequestration were treated at the department of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, college of medicine, Hallym University. One case was extralobar type, associated with the pneumothorax due to rupture of bulla. The other was intralobar type with symptom of massive and recurrent hemoptysis. The supplying arteries of both cases arose from the thoracic aorta. The venous return of the extralobar type was systemic into the hemiazygos vein, and that of the intralobar type was normal into the inferior pulmonary vein. Treatment for the former was resection of the sequestrated lung, and that for the latter was lobectomy of the left lower lobe. With the brief review of literature, we report the cases.
