An 11 year old boy with a preductal coarctation and a patent ductus arteriosus underwent ligation of the ductus and patch aortoplasty for correction of the coarctation. His postoperative course was complicated by a paradoxical hypertension and a transient mesenteric arteritis syndrome which were successfully managed with sodium nitroprusside, propranolol and hydralazine. His urine catecholamine tests were markedly elevated one week after the operation which returned to normal 4 days later. Some of the salient points ~n the pathogenesis and management of these problems are discussed.

A 15 years Old girl was admitted with chief complaints of intermittent claudication of lower extremity, dizziness, and headache for 5 years. On admission, malignant hypertension was noted in the upper part of body [190-150/120-110] but femoral & dorsalis pedis pulse could not palpate. Once she had experienced C. V. A. due to hypertension of upper part, about years ago. On auscultation, systolic murmur was audible along the left sternal border. E.C.G. Showed left ventricular hypertrophy pattern, and others within normal limit. Retrograde aortography demonstrated diffuse narrowing of entire thoracic aorta with underdeveloped lower abdominal aorta [below the renal artery] & both common lilac artery, and rich collaterals, but normally visualized greater arteries in the aortic arch. On left posterolasteral thoracotomy, entire descending thoracic aorta revealed marked narrowing with mild perivascular adhesion, but no mediastinal pleura adhesion. These findings suggest as congenital type of atypical coarctation in the entire thoracic aorta with mild secondary change. But histopathology was showed the findings of chronic non-specific aortitis, later. Dacron by pass graft was performed with end to side anastomosis between graft and aortic wall. After operation, all her preoperative symptoms & signs were disappeared, and discharged with good general condition.

A two-month-old infant presented with coarctation of the aorta, severe left ventricular dysfunction, and moderate to severe mitral regurgitation. Through median sternotomy, the aortic arch was repaired under cardiopulmonary bypass and regional cerebral perfusion. The patient was postoperatively supported with a left ventricular assist device for five days. Left ventricular function gradually improved, eventually recovering with the concomitant regression of mitral regurgitation. Prompt surgical repair of coarctation of the aorta is indicated for patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction. A central approach for surgical repair with a back-up left ventricular assist device is a safe and effective treatment strategy for these patients.

3예의 성인 대동맥축착증 환자에서 외해부학적(extraanatomical) 우회로조성술을 시행하였다. 축착 전 후의 광범위한 대동맥협착을 동반한 2예에서는 좌측 개흉술을 통해 좌쇄골하동맥에서 하행대동맥으로 우회술을 시행하였다. 대동맥판막폐쇄부전과 대동맥궁 발육부전이 동반된 대동맥축착 1예에서는 정중 흉골절개술을 통해 상행대동맥과 심장 뒤 하행대동맥간의 우회로술과 대동맥판막치환술을 동시에 시행하였다. 1예에서 술 후 4개월째 문합부 주위 동맥류의 파열이 있어 재수술을 시행하였으며 2예에서는 술 후 특별한 합병증이 없었다.

Coarctation and occlusion of the aorta is a rare condition that typically presents with hypertension or cardiac failure. However, neuropathy or myelopathy may be the presenting features of the condition when an intraspinal subarachnoid hemorrhage has compressed the spinal cord causing ischemia. We report two cases of middle-aged males who developed acute non-traumatic paraplegia. Undiagnosed congenital abnormalities, such as aortic coarctation and occlusion, should be considered for patients presenting with nontraumatic paraplegia in the absence of other identifiable causes. Our cases suggest that spinal cord ischemia resulting from acute spinal subarachnoid hemorrhage and can cause paraplegia, and that clinicians must carefully examine patients presenting with nontraumatic paraplegia because misdiagnosis can delay initiation of the appropriate treatment.

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.

Shone complex is a rare congenital disorder that involves 4 obstructive lesions of the left heart, as follows: parachute mitral valve, supravalvular mitral ring, subaortic stenosis, and coarctation of the aorta. Incomplete forms with 2 or 3 of these lesions in adult patients have been rarely reported in the literature, meaning that insufficient general data exist concerning the surgical strategy and clinical follow-up. Herein, we report the case of a 31-year-old woman with a diagnosis of incomplete form of Shone complex with parachute mitral valve and coarctation of the aorta who underwent successful single-stage surgical repair.

신동맥 사이 또는 신동맥 상부에 위치하는 대부분의 복부대동맥 축착은 흉복부절개의 접근으로 수술한다. 우리는 경흉막 후복막 접근으로 개복을 하지 않고 단측단측 흉복부대동맥의우회술을 시행한 1례의 수술을 소개하고자 한다. 경흉막 후복막 접근은 흉복부대동맥의 시야가 매우 좋으며 개복을 할 때보다 더 쉽게 흉복부대동맥의 우회술을 할 수 있고 복강내 장기를 노출하지 않는 장점이 있다.
