  • Ventricular septal defects (VSDs) are the most common kind of congenital heart disease and, if indicated, surgical closure has been accepted as a gold-standard treatment. However, as less-invasive methods are preferred, percutaneous device closure has been developed. After the first VSD closure was performed percutaneously by Lock in 1988, both techniques and devices have developed consistently. A perventricular approach for closure of muscular VSD in small patients and the closure of perimembranous VSD using off-label devices are key remarkable developments. Even though the Amplatzer membranous VSD occluder (Abbott) could not be approved for use due to the high complete atrioventricular conduction block rate, other new devices have shown good results for closure of perimembranous VSDs. However, the transcatheter technique is slightly complicated to perform, and concerns about conduction problems after VSD closure with devices remain. There have been a few reports demonstrating successful closure of subarterial-type VSDs with Amplatzer devices, but long-term issues involving aortic valve damage have not been explored yet. In conclusion, transcatheter VSD closure should be accepted as being as effective and safe as surgery but should only be performed by experienced persons and in specialized institutes because the procedure is complex and requires different techniques. To avoid serious complications, identifying appropriate patient candidates for device closure before the procedure is very important.

  • Patients with an atrial septal defect (ASD) and severe pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) are considered ineligible for defect closure surgery because of the risk of right ventricular decompensation and death after the operation. We report the case of a patient with large ASD and severe PAH who was able to undergo defect closure surgery successfully following long-term use of combined oral sildenafil and beraprost.

  • An atrial septal defect is the most common type of congenital heart disease among adults. Surgical repair or percutaneous closure of the defect is the treatment options. Even though percutaneous closure seems to be less risky than surgical repair, it may result in fatal complications like device embolism, cardiac perforation and tamponade. Herein we report a case of the embolism of a device into the pulmonary artery after one hour of percutaneous closure in which the embolized device was surgically removed and the defect was closed with a pericardial patch.

  • Background: Atrial septal defect (ASD) is the most common congenital heart disease. However, the details of cardiac chamber remodeling after surgery are not well known, although this is an important issue that should be analyzed to understand long-term outcomes. Methods: Between November 2017 and January 2019, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging was performed preoperatively, at a 1-month postoperative follow-up, and at a 1-year postoperative follow-up. Cardiac chamber volume, valve regurgitation volume, and ejection fraction were measured as functions of time. Results: Thirteen patients (10 men and 3 women) were included. The median age at surgery was 51.4 years. The preoperative median ratio of flow in the pulmonary and systemic circulation was 2.3. The preoperative mean right ventricular (RV) end-diastolic volume index (EDVi) and RV end-systolic volume index (ESVi) had significantly decreased at the 1-month postoperative follow-up (p<0.001, p=0.001, respectively). The decrease in the RVEDVi (p=0.085) and RVESVi (p=0.023) continued until the postoperative 1-year follow-up, although the rate of decrease was slower. Tricuspid valve regurgitation had also decreased at the 1-month postoperative follow-up (p=0.022), and continued to decrease at a reduced rate (p=0.129). Although the RVEDVi and RVESVi improved after ASD closure, the RV volume parameters were still larger than the left ventricular (LV) volume parameters at the 1-year follow-up (RVEDVi vs. LVEDVi: p=0.016; RVESVi vs. LVESVi: p=0.001). Conclusion: Cardiac remodeling after ASD closure is common and mainly occurs in the early postoperative period. However, complete normalization does not occur.

  • Purpose: Common conditions, such as dehydration or respiratory infection can aggravate hypoxia and are associated with interstage mortality in infants who have undergone palliative surgery for congenital heart diseases. This study was done to evaluate the efficacy of a home monitoring program (HMP) in decreasing infant mortality. Methods: Since its inception in May 2010, all infants who have undergone palliative surgery have been enrolled in HMP. This study was a prospective observational study and infant outcomes during HMP were compared with those of previous comparison groups. Parents were trained to measure oxygen saturation, body weight and feeding volume and to contact the hospital through the hotline for emergency situations. Telephone counseling was conducted by clinical nurse specialists every week post discharge. Results: Forty-one infants were enrolled in HMP. Nine hundred telephone counseling sessions were conducted. Seventy-three infants required telephone triage with the most common conditions being gastrointestinal (50.7%) and respiratory symptoms (32.9%). With HMP intervention, interstage mortality decreased from 18.6% (8/43) to 9.8% (4/41) (${\chi}^2$=1.15, p=.283). Conclusion: Results indicate that active measures and treatments using the HMP decrease mortality rates, however further investigation is required to identify various factors that contribute to hemodynamic complications during the interstage period.

  • 목적: 선천성 심장질환에서 수술 직후 심장부종이나 혈역학적 불안정 상태시 흉골을 열어놓고 나중에 봉합을 하는 지연 흉골 봉합이 도움이 될 수 있다. 이러한 경우에 있어서 사망률과 종격동 감염률 그리고 그 위험 인자를 알고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 1994년 1월부터 2001년 5월까지 연세대학교 의과대학 심장혈관병원에서 선천성 심장수술 후 지연 흉골 봉합을 시행한 40명의 환자를 대상으로 이들에 있어서 사망률과 종격동 감염률를 조사하고 이에 영향을 미치는 인자로 수술시간, 인공심폐기 사용시간(bypass time), 대동맥 결찰시간(ACC time), 수술 후 흉골을 열어놓고 있었던 시간, 인공호흡기를 하고 있었던 기간을 조사하였다. 종격동 감염은 종격동에서 균이 동정된 경우로 정의 하였다. 결과: 흉골을 열고 나온 이유로는 혈역학적 불안정이 36명으로 가장 많았고 출혈과 흉골 봉합시 도관(conduit)이 눌려 열고 나온 경우가 각각 2명이었다. 이들의 수술시 나이는 $14.4{\pm}33.4$개월(2일-12년 2개월)이었고 출혈과 흉골 봉합시 도관이 눌려 흉골을 열고 나왔던 4명 모두 나머지에 비해 나이가 많았다. 봉합까지의 평균 기간은 $4.5{\pm}3.4$일(1~20일)이었다. 사망률은 25%(10/40)였으며 종격동 감염률은 수술후 10일 이전에 감염이 원인이 아닌 사망을 보인 3명의 환자를 제외한 나머지 환자를 대상으로 하였을 때 24.3%(9/37)를 나타내었다. 이러한 사망률과 종격동 감염율에 미치는 위험 인자로 수술 시간, 인공심폐기 사용기간, 대동맥 결찰시간, 수술후 흉골을 열고 있었던 기간, 인공호흡기를 하고 있었던 기간을 설정 후 이에 대한 단변량 분석결과 대동맥 결찰 시간만이 사망률에 대해 의미를 가졌으나 다변량 분석결과에서는 통계학적 의미를 갖지 못했다. 결론: 선천성 심장병 수술후 지연 흉골 봉합을 하는 경우 상대적으로 높은 사망률과 종격동 감염률을 보였으나 수술후 혈역학적 불안정상태 및 출혈, 도관이 눌러는 경우 등에 있어서 수술당시 흉골 봉합을 시도했다면 더 높은 사망률이 예상된다. 이러한 경우에 있어 지연 흉골 봉합을 통하여 더 높은 생존율을 기대할 수 있다.

  • Purpose: With feasibility in the diagnoses of congenital heart disease (CHD) in the antenatal period, we suspect changes have occurred in its incidence. No data have been reported about the current incidence of simple forms of CHD in Korea. We have attempted to assess the recent incidence and characteristics of CHD in the neonatal care unit of a secondary referral medical center. Methods: Medical records of 497 neonatal care unit patients who underwent echocardiography in the past 5 years were reviewed. Preterm infants with patent ductus arteriosus and other transient, minimal lesions were excluded from this study. Results: Although the number of inpatients remained stable, the incidence of simple forms of CHD showed a gradual decrease over the 5-year study period; a markedly low incidence of complex forms was seen as well. CHD was observed in 3.7% full-term and 6.8% pre-term infants. CHD was observed in 152 infants weighing >2,500 g (3.5% of corresponding birth weight infants); 65 weighing 1,000 to 2,500 g (9.3%); and 6 weighing <1,000 g (8.0%). The incidence of CHD was higher in the pre-term group and the low birth weight group than in each corresponding subgroup (P<0.001); however, the incidence of complex CHD in full-term neonates was high. The number of patients with extracardiac structural anomalies has also shown a gradual decrease every year for the past 5 years. Conclusion: Findings from our study suggest that the recent incidence and disease pattern of CHD might have changed for both complex and simple forms of CHD in Korea.
