Unroofed coronary sinus syndrome is an uncommon anomaly, Unroofed coronary sinus syndrome is caused by incomplete formation of the left atriovenous fold, and it usually is associated with Left SVC. If it is not diagnosed, a residual reversed or bidirectional shunt will result, and its complications will reduce life expectancy. We experienced 3 cases of unroofed coronary sinus syndrome which combines TOF with PLSVC, partial ECD, primum type ASD. In case of Unroofed coronary sinus syndrome which combines TIF with PLSVC, preoperative diagnosis was not made. In corrective operation for TOF of this case, pump weaning was failed due to hypoxia and cardiac arrest, and he expired at operation room. At autopsy of this case, complete unroofed coronary sinus was found. In the other 2 cases, partial unroofed coronary sinus syndrome was found in operation field and corrective operation was performed successfully. We report these 3 experiences with its review. ^u ++ Noninvasive Assessment of Pressure Gradients across Prosthetic Heart Valve by Doppler Ultrasound - A comparative study of the Duromedics Bileaflet Valves in mitral position and Normal Mitral Valves -with its review.

배경: 경두개 초음파 검사는 색전의 위험이 있는 환자에서 미세색전 신호를 진단할 수 있다. 미세색전 신호의 임상적 중요성은 인공 기계 심장 판막 환자에서는 아직 증명되지 않았다. 우리는 인공 기계 심장 판막 수술 후의 뇌 혈전색전증과 산소 흡입 중 측정되는 미세색전 신호의 관련성을 연구하였다. 대상 및 방법: 인공 기계 심장 판막 수술 후 뇌 혈전색전증의 병력이 있는 20명의 환자군과 성별, 연령별로 일치시킨 30명의 대조군을 대상으로 연구하였다. 경두개 초음파 검사로 일측 중대뇌동맥을 감시하였다. 20분간의 기초 검사 후 40분 동안 100% 산소를 흡입하면서 검사하였다. 결과: 인공 기계 심장 판막의 수술 부위와 수술 후 기간은 환자군과 대조군의 차이가 없었다. 기초 검사 동안 측정된 미세색전 신호의 양성률과 빈도는 양 군 간의 차이가 없었다. 산소 흡입 중 환자군은 대조군에 비하여 미세색전 신호의 양성률이 높았고(55%, 27.6%, p=0.045), 미세색전 신호수도 흔하였다(p=0.027). 결론: 산소 흡입을 이용한 경두개 초음파 검사는 인공 기계 심장 판막 이식 환자에서 임상적으로 의미가 있는 미세색전의 감별에 도움이 된다.

In thIns paper, a numerical simulation of steady laminar and turbulent flow in a two dimensional model for the total artificial heart is'presented. A trlleaflet polyurethane valve was simulated at the outflow orifice while the Inflow orifice had a trileaflet or a flap valve. The finite analytic numerical method was employed to obtain solutions to the governing equations in the Cartesian coordinates. The closure for turbulence model was achieved by employing the k-$\varepsilon$-E model. The SIMPLER algo rithm was used to solve the problem in primitive variables. The numerical solutions of the slulated model show that regions of relative stasis and trapped vortices were smaller within the ventricular chamber with the flap valve at the Inflow orifice than that with the trileaflet valve. The predicted Reynolds stresses distal to the inflow valve within the ventricular chamber were also found to be smaller wlth the flap valve than with the trlleaflet valve. These resu1ts also suggest a correlation be- tween high turbulent stresses and the presence of thrombus In the vicinity of the valves in the total artificial hearts. The computed velocity vectors and trubulent stresses were comparable with previ ously reported in vitro measurements in artificial heart chambers. Analysis of the numerical solo talons suggests that geometries similar to the flap valve(or a tilting disc valve) results in a better flow dynamics within the total artificial heart chamber compared to a trileaflet valve.

A total and consecutive 156 patients have undergone cardiac valve surgery including 13 closed mitral commissurotomy, 13 open mitral commissurotomy, one mitral annuloplasty, 75 mitral valve replacement, one aortic annuloplasty, 24 aortic valve replacement, 3 tricuspid valve replacement, 25 double valve replacement and one triple valve replacement. 155 prosthetic valves were replaced in a period between September 1976 and August 1985. There were 68 males and 88 females with age range from 8 to 69 yrs [mean 36.5 yr]. Out of replaced valves, 61 was tissue valve including 54 Carpentier-Edwards, and 4 was mechanical valves including 74 St. Jude Medical, and the position replaced was 101 valves for mitral, 46 for aortic and 8 for tricuspid. Single valve replacement in 102 cases, double valve replacement in 25 cases [17 for AVR+MVR, and 8 for MVR+TVR], and only one case was noted in the triple valve replacement. Early mortality within 30 days after operation was noted in 11 cases [7%]; 7 after MVR, 2 after DVR, and each one after open mitral commissurotomy and mitral annuloplasty. Cause of death was valve thrombus, cerebral air embolism, low output syndrome, uncontrollable arrhythmia, parapneumonic sepsis, acute cardiac tamponade and left atrial rupture. 7 late deaths were noted during the follow-up period from 1 to 104 months [average 48 month]; three due to valve and left atrial thrombus formation, two due to CVA from overdose of warfarin, and each one due to congestive heart failure and chronic constrictive pericarditis, Anticoagulants after prosthetic valve replacement were maintained with warfarin, dipyridamole and aspirin to the level of around 50% of normal prothrombin time in 79 cases, and Ticlopidine with aspirin in 47 cases to compare the result of each group. There were 11 major thromboembolic episodes including 3 deaths in the warfarin group. Two cases of CVA due to overdose of warfarin was noted in the warfarin group. In the ticlopidine group, there was only one left atrial thrombus confirmed at the time of autopsy. Among the survived 138 cases, nearly all cases[136 cases] were included in NYHA functional class I and II during the follow-up period. In conclusion, surgical treatment of the cardiac valve disease in 156 clinical cases revealed excellent result with acceptable operative risk and late mortality. Prevention of thrombus formation with anti-platelet aggregator Ticlopidine has better result than warfarin group presently with no specific side effect such as bleeding or gastrointestinal trouble.

목적: 심장판막치환술 시에 선택하는 판막에는 크게 기계판막과 조직판막이 있다. 두 가지는 각기 피할 수 없는 단점이 있는데 조직판막의 경우 판막의 퇴행성 변화에 따른 재수술이 가장 문제가 되며 판막재치환술의 위험도가 적다면 조직판막의 사용이 증가되리라 생각된다. 이에 저자들은 심장판막치환술 후 재치환술의 위험도 및 사망률을 심장판막 일차치환술과 비교 평가하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1995년 1월부터 2004년 12월까지 최근 10년간 본 병원에서 연속적으로 시행한 심장판막수술 환자 239명 중 심장판막치환술 후 재치환술을 받은 25명과 심장판막일차치환술을 받은 158명의 한자를 후향적으로 비교, 분석하였다. 결과: 심장판막 재치환술군과 심장판막 일차치환술군 간의 나이, 성별, 술전심박출률 등은 통계적으로 큰 차이가 없었다. 재치환군에서 첫 수술의 판막은 기계판막 3예, 조직판막 22예로 이중 대동맥판막과 승모판막을 동시에 조직판막으로 치환한 경우가 1명 있었으며, 재수술까지의 기간은 기계판막의 경우 92개월, 조직판막인 경우 평균 160개월이었다. 체외순환 및 대동맥차단의 평균시간은 재치환술의 경우 152분, 108분, 일차치환술의 경우 130분, 89분으로 통계적인 유의함을 보였다. IABP의 사용은 재치환술의 경우 2예(8%), 일차치환술은 6예(3.8%)로 차이를 보였으며, 수술사망은 재치환술의 경우 1예(4%), 일차치환술의 경우 9예(5.1%)였다. 술 후 합병증 중에서 술 후 48시간 이상의 인공호흡이 재수술에서는 13.6%, 1차 수술에서 5.7%로 차이를 보였고 다른 인자에서는 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 수술 후 평균 추적기간은 $6.5{\pm}3.2$년이고 재치환술 환자의 5년 생존율은 74%였으며 일차치환술의 경우 5년 생존율은 95%를 보여 유의한 차이를 보였다. 결론: 심장판막재치환술은 일차치환술과 비교하여 볼 때 수술 위험도는 약간 증가되나 사망률에서는 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 따라서 재수술 위험을 고려하여 조직판막을 너무 기피하는 것은 재고되어야 하며 다른 장점이 많은 조직판막의 선택적인 사용이 권장된다. 그러나 재치한술의 경우 술전 상태가 나빴던 환자에서 만기사망률이 높으므로 일차치환술 후 적절한 심장기능 및 환자상태의 평가가 필요하며 너무 늦지 않은 적정한 시기에 재치환술을 고려해야 겠다.

From 1958 up to the end of April 1980, during the period of 12 years 1640 cardiac surgery cases including 1069 open heart surgery and 304 valve replacement cases, were operated in this Department. There were 1070 congenital anomaly and 570 acquired disease cases. In 1070 congenital anomaly cases 673 acyanotic and 397 cyanotic anomaly patients were noted. In acquired diseases 94 pericardial and 456 valvular cases were found. Among 456 valve cases 189 mitral stenosis, 133 mitral insufficiency, 30 aortic valve lesion, 97 double valve, and 7 triple valve lesion patients were noted. Among 304 valve replacement cases 209 mitral, 34 aortic, 5 tricuspid, 34 aortic with mitral, 20 mitral with tricuspid, and 2 triple valves were replaced. Annual increase `of open heart surgery cases and decrease of operative deaths were remarkable in recent years. In recent years Shiley** oxygenator in pump-oxygenator set up and Ionescu** bovine pericardial xenograft bioprosthesis were used for valve replacement mainly.
