Nitrofen [2,4-dichlorophenyl-P-nitrophenyl ether] is a diphenyl ether herbicide used for pre and post-emergent control of broad leafed weeds. This chemical was known to induce a variety of congenital cardiovascular anomalies with diaphragmatic hernia and hydronephrosis in the rate fetuses. The present study was conducted to produce congenital cardiovascular anomalies in the rat fetuses by oral nitrofen administration at the indicated doses and days of gestation, and to find the characteristics of nitrofen-induced cardiovascular anomalies. All the observed fetuses were removed from the pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats sacrificed on the twenty-first day of gestation. They were preserved in 10 per cent formalin and dissection for examination were carried out under a dissecting microscope using forceps and scissors. Following results and conclusion were based on dissecting microscopic findings on 482 offsprings. 1. The eleventh day of gestation was the most sensitive day for nitrofen induction of congenital cardiovascular anomalies in the rat. This incidence was dose-related in rats exposed on the eleventh day of gestation. 2. Ventricular septal defect was the most common single anomaly that represented more than half of the total cardiovascular anomalies, followed by aortic arch anomalies and tetralogy of Fallot. 3. Cardiac anomalies derived from infundibular maldevelopment such as tetralogy of Fallot and pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect were only observed in the eleventh gestation day treated group. 4. Aortic arch anomalies were found in high frequency and the great majority were characteristically anomalous right subclavian artery with left aortic arch. Key words; nitrofen, congenital cardiovascular anomalies.

The double aortic arch is the commonest anomaly among the vascular rings are relatively rare congenital vascular anomalies. This anomaly is malformation of the aortic arch system may, by compression of the trachea and esophagus, cause respiratory distress and dysphagia. We experienced one case of double aortic arch with right sided descending aorta with predominant right anterior arch treated surgically at Kyung Hee University Medical Center. 1-year-old male patient with acute airway obstruction due to combination of double aortic arch and right descending aorta. The diagnosis was made by simple X-ray & confirmed by barium esophagogram & aortogram. The operative approach was through left thoracotomy & underwent division of the left aortic arch & division of ligamentum arteriosum & suspension of divided proximal end of anterior arch to anterior thoracic wall. The postoperative courses was uneventful and doing well on the 3 years.

Interruption of the aortic arch may be defined as discontinuity of the aortic arch in which either an aortic vessel or a patent ductus arteriosus supplies the descending aorta. This anomaly is a rare congenital malformation that usually occurs with severe associated intracardiac congenital anomalies, such as ventricular septal defect, patent foramen ovale and abnormal arrangement of the brachiocephalic arteries. Rarely, transposition of the great vessel, truncus arteriosus are coexistent. We experienced a case of the interrupted aortic arch [Type A] associated with VSD, PDA and patent foramen ovale in a 16 years old female. One stage total correction was done under profound hypothermia with total circulatory arrest. Aortic continuity was established using patent ductus arteriosus with anterior wall of main pulmonary artery, which was anastomosed obliquely to anteromedial side of the ascending aorta. Ventricular septal defect was closed using Dacron patch and patent foramen ovale was closed directly. Postoperative course was uneventful, except mild hoarseness.

대동맥궁 줄기의 다양한 기시변이는 잘 알려져 있으나 속목동맥과 바깥목동맥의 독립적인 기시와 동반된 척추동맥의 대동맥궁 직접 기시에 대한 보고는 매우 드물다. 저자들은 10세 여아에서 왼쪽 온목동맥의 무형성과 동측 속목동맥, 바깥목동맥 및 척추동맥이 대동맥궁에서 직접 기시하는 매우 드문 복합 변이를 증례로 보고하고자 한다. 또한, 이 증례 보고를 통해 해당 변이의 발생학적 기전과 임상적 의의를 살펴보았다.

Persistent fifth aortic arch (PFAA) is a rare congenital anomaly of the aortic arch frequently associated with other cardiovascular anomalies, such as tetralogy of Fallot and aortic arch coarctation or interruption. We report the case of a neonate with PFAA with coarctation who successfully underwent surgical repair.

Between 1981 and 1987, five patients with an interruption of the aortic arch were operated upon. All had a ventricular septal defect and a patent ductus arteriosus as associated anomalies. A two-stage procedure was employed in these cases, the initial procedure being repair of the interrupted arch, ligation of the patent ductus arteriosus, banding of the main pulmonary artery and a lung biopsy which was followed, 5 to 49 months later, by the repair of the ventricular septal defect. Four patients completed the two-stage procedure with one postoperative mortality. The remaining patient is yet to complete the second stage procedure.

Developmental anomalies of the aortic arch, commonly known as vascular rings, are relatively rare congenital vascular anomalies which can compress the trachea and esophagus. We have presented six patients with surgically treated vascular rings at Seoul National University Hospital during the period June 1970 through May 1984. Two patients had double aortic arches and four patients had right aortic arch with aberrant left subclavian artery and left ligamentum arteriosum. Four patients had symptoms relating vascular ring and two patients were detected incidentally during diagnostic evaluation of symptomatic intracardiac defects. Associated congenital malformations were seen in four patients. The operative approach was through left thoracotomy in three patients and median sternotomy in remaining three patients associated with congenital cardiac defects. There were no postoperative deaths with excellent result in preoperative symptomatic patients. To our knowledge, successful surgical repair of vascular ring has been reported only once in the Korean literature.

최근 심장기형과 동반된 대동맥궁 기형의 일차교정술은 단계적 수술에 비해 더 안전하다고 알려지면서 많은 병원에서 이 방법을 선택하고 있다. 저자들은 이 복잡 심기형에 대한 정중 흉골절개를 통한 대동맥궁 기형과 심기형의 일차교정술의 조기 및 중기결과를 검토하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1996년 1월부터 2003년 7월까지 정중 흉골절개를 통한 대동맥궁 기형과 심기형에 대한 일차교정술이 시행된 45명의 환자를 대상으로 후향적조사를 하였다. 환아의 중심나이는 16일(3일$\~$23.7개월)이었고 31명$(68.9\%)$이 신생아였다. 평균 체중은 $3.62\pm1.30kg$이었다. 대동맥궁 기형으로 대동맥 축착증이 31예, 대동맥궁 차단증이 14예였다. 동반 심질환으로 심실중격결증이 31예(VSD군), 대혈관 전위증(Taussig-Bing heart 6예 포함)이 10예(TGA군), 그 외, 심방 중격 결손증, 대동맥-폐동맥창, 동맥간, 대동맥판 및 승모판 협착증를 각각 1예씩 동반하였다(기타 군). 대동맥궁 재건법으로 상행대동맥이나 대동맥궁에 하행대동맥을 측단문합한 경우가 23예, 단단문합한 경우가 22예였다. 결과: 전체 조기 병원 사망은 10명으로 $22.2\%$의 수술사망률을 나타내었으며 VSD군은 수술사망이 $16.1\%$(5/31), TGA군은 $40\%$(4/10), 기타군은 $25\%$ (1/4)였다. VSD군은 98년 이 후 23예에서는 수술사망이 없었으며 TGA군은 관상동맥 이식 수기변형을 시도한 이후 수술사망이 감소하였다$(75\%\;vs\;16.7\%)$. 술 후 발작(seizure)이나 신경학적 합병증은 얼었다 술 후 재협착은 모두 5예$(5/35,\;14.3\%)$에서 발생하였다. 2예에서 술 후 대동맥의 풍선 확장술이 시행되었으며 재수술은 없었다. 술 후 만기사망은 1예로 술 후 5개월에 폐렴으로 사망하였다. 수술사망을 포함한 2년 생존율은 $72.9\%$였다. 결론: 술 전 환아 관리의 향상과 관상동맥의 수기 변형 등으로 수술사망률이 감소하였으며 대동맥 재협착의 빈도도 비교적 낮아 대동맥궁 기형을 동반한 복잡심기형에서 정중 흉골절개를 통한 대동맥궁 기형과 심기형의 일차교정술은 유용한 수술법으로서 계속 적용되어야 할 것으로 생각된다.

A 6-month-old, female poodle presented with a three-month history of persistent regurgitation immediately after eating. On physical examination, the patient was emaciated and dehydrated. Thoracic radiography showed ventral displacement of the trachea and increased radiopacity in the mediastinum, cranial to the heart base. A severely dilated esophagus was identified cranial to the heart on esophagram. Computed tomography (CT) revealed the esophagus was filled with gas, fluid and a little of contrast and dilated from caudo-cervical to cranio-thoracic part. The esophageal diameter was markedly decreased at the heart base. In addition, the trachea was displaced to the left-ventral side of the right aortic trunk and an aberrant left subclavian artery originating from the aorta was identified. There was no evidence of abdominal vascular anomaly. Based on diagnostic imaging, persistent right aortic arch (PRAA) with an aberrant left subclavian artery was diagnosed. The patient did not undergo surgery and died at 15 days after diagnosis. This report describes imaging diagnosis, including CT and radiography in a weaned dog with regurgitation due to esophageal obstruction by PRAA. When PRAA is suspected and conventional radiography or contrast study is insufficient for diagnosis, CT may be helpful for diagnosing PRAA.
