One hundred eighty-eight patients[August.23,1988,through July.30,1994 underwent aortic[AVR , mitral[MVR , or double [DVR valve replacement with the St.Jude Medical prosthesis. The author analyzed 100 patients with valvular heart disease,who underwent valve replacement with the St.Jude Medical prothesis from 1990 to 1994, at Hanyang University hospital Cardiovascular department. Information on volume and functional change of the heart chamber can be obtained by cardiac echocardiography and cartheterization. Out of 100 patients, 40 patients were male[40% and 60 patients were female [60% . Age ranged from 13 years to 68 years, with mean age of 42.6 years. Mean height was 160.3cm and mean body weight was 54.9Kg. According to NYHA functional classification, class III is most frequent and 60 patients could be classfied under it. MVR [involved Redo MVR was performed in 40 patients, AVR [involved Redo AVR was performed in 18 patients, and DVR [involved Redo DVR was performed in 42 patients. Warfarin [Coumadin anticoagulation was recommended for all patients. Life long warfarin anticoagulation was necessary to all patients who underwent valve replacement with St.Jude Medical prosthesis. Ideal prothrombin time was maintained about 30% during warfarinization. There were no case of mechanical failure. It followed a comparison of echocardiography before and after valve replacement at Hanyang University hospital [30 patients and a preoperative evaluation of cardiac catheterization and angiography [64 patients . The St.Jude Medical cardiac valve is a viable alternative in the surgical therapy of valvular heart disease.

The most serious problems related to the cardiovascular prothesis are thrombosis and hemolysis. It is known that the flow pattern of cardiovascular prostheses is highly correlated with thrombosis and hemolysis. Laser Doppler Anemometry (LDA) is a usual method to get flow pattern, which is difficult to operate and has narrow measure region. Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) can solve these problems. Because the flow speed of valve is too high to catch particles by CCD camera, high-speed camera (Hyspeed : Holland-Photonics) was used. The estimated maximum flow speed was 5m/sec and maximum trackable length is 0.5 cm, so the shutter speed was determined as 1000 frames per sec. Several image processing techniques (blurring, segmentation, morphology, etc) were used for the preprocessing. Particle tracking algorithm and 2-D interpolation technique which were necessary in making gridrized velocity pronto, were applied to this PIV program. By using Single-Pulse Multi-Frame particle tracking algorithm, some problems of PIV can be solved. To eliminate particles which penetrate the sheeted plane and to determine the direction of particle paths are these solving methods. 1-D relaxation fomula is modified to interpolate 2-D field. Parachute artificial heart valve which was developed by Seoul National University and Bjork-Shiely valve was testified. For each valve, different flow pattern, velocity profile, wall shear stress and mean velocity were obtained.

배경; Carbomedics 기계판막은 보편적으로 많이 이용되는 기계판막의 일종이며 국립의료원에서는 1988년부터 이것을 사용하여 왔다. 저자들은 1994년에 중단기 성적을 흉부외과 학회지에 보고한바 있으며 이번에 10년 임상성적을 보고하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법 ; 1988년 8월부터 1998년 12월 RK지 Crbomedics 판막을 이용하여 판막치환술을 받은 235명의 연속적인 환자를 대상으로 하였으며 승모판막 치환 143예, 승모판막 및 대동맥판막치환 59예, 대동맥 판막치환 33예이었다. 평균 연령은 40세 이었으며 남녀의 성비는 85;150으로 여성환자가 원등하게 많았다. 임상추적 종료시점은 1999년 6월로 정했으며 추적율은 9704% 이었다. 전체 추적 기간은 1209.2환자-년이었고 평균 5.7년이었다. 결과; 조기 사망류은 8.9%, 만기 사망률은 4.7%로 전체사망율은 13.1%(31명/235명)이었다. 10년 생존율은 95.2$\pm$1.6%이었다. (승모판막치환; 94.9$\pm$2.1%, 승모판막 및 대동맥판막치환; 95.0$\pm$3.7%, 대동맥판막치환; 96.2$\pm$3.8%). 판막관련 합병증 중 혈전전색증, 판막혈전폐쇄증, 항응고제 관련 출혈, 판막주위 누출, 심내막염등의 linearized incidencesns 각각 환자-년당 0.59%, 0.5%, 0.25%, 0.17%, 0.17%였으며 혈전전색증이 없을 확률은 96.2$\pm$1.5%, 판막폐쇄증이 없을 확률은 96.7$\pm$1.4%, 항응고제관련 출혈이 없을 확률은 98.7$\pm$1.0%이었고 전체 판막관련 합병증이 없을 확률은 88.9$\pm$2.5%이었다. 결론; 장기 추적검사에서 Carbomedics 판막은 판막과 관련된 합병증 및 사망률이 낮았다.
