33세 남자가 심와부 불편감을 주소로 내원하여 흉부컴퓨터단층촬영과 심초음파에서 좌심방 내 점액 종으로 수술적 절제하였다. 12개월 후 외래추적 검사에서 첫 번째 수술과 관계없는 부위인 우심방 내 점액종이 발견되어 재수술하였으며 10개월간 재발 없이 지내고 있다. 우리나라에서는 좌심방 내 점액종 제거 후 재발된 좌심방 내 점액종은 보고된 적이 있지만, 우심방에 재발된 경우는 보고된 바가 없어 치험례를 보고한다.

관상정맥동은 심장의 정맥 배출 체계이다. 관상정맥동 입구의 폐쇄는 드문 심장 기형이다. 선천적인 관상정맥동 입구의 폐쇄는 주로 지속성 좌상대정맥을 동반하며 그 외에 다른 심장 기형과 동반되어서 나타난다. 하지만 선천적인 관상정맥동 입구의 폐쇄만 단독적으로 나타나는 경우는 아주 드물다. 이 논문에서는 58세 여성에서 발견된 지속성 좌상대정맥을 동반하지 않고, 좌심방과 심장정맥이 연결되는 선천적인 관상정맥동 입구의 폐쇄만 단독적으로 나타나는 드문 증례를 보고하고자 한다.

It is well known that the morphologic feature of coronary artery is variant as finger print. Left coronary artery is divided into the left anterior descending artery and circumflex artery and supplies almost left atrium, left ventricle and interventricular septum. Clinically, the morphologic features of number of branches and the length of the left main coronary artery are important. In Korea, there are few reports about morphologic study of the coronary artery, and the coronary angiogram and open heart surgery are common. Now the author studied the morphology of the proximal part of the left coronary artery in Korean 50 Adult cadavers and obtained the following results: 1. The length of the left main coronary artery is from 5 mm to 16 mm [mean 9.7 mm]. 2. The diameter of the proximal part of the left coronary artery is from 3.2 mm to 7.7 mm [mean 5.3]. 3. The features of the branching are bifurcation [58%] trifurcation [38%] and quadrifurcation [4%]. 4. The diameter of the left anterior descending artery is from 2.7 mm to 8.1 mm [mean 4.5] and circumflex artery from 2.1 mm to 6.2 mm [mean 3.9].

An 11-year-old, castrated male dog presented with a 3-month history of cough and depression. Auscultation revealed systolic murmur and thoracic radiographs showing enlargement of both the atrium and left ventricle. Echocardiography showed thickened mitral valve and moderate-to-severe left atrial enlargement. Additionally, M-mode echocardiography showed symmetric left ventricular wall thickening and systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve, while Doppler imaging revealed high velocity turbulent flow through the left ventricular outflow tract. Based on echocardiography, this case was diagnosed with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. After 5 months, the dog was clinically static in radiography and echocardiography.

Congenital coronary fistula is a rare condition, and with widespread use of cardiac catheterization, angiography and selective coronary arteriography are being recognized with increasing frequency. Fistula originating from the right coronary artery are more common than those from the left coronary artery. The fistula empties into the right side of the heart in 90% of the cases with the right ventricle being the most common recipient chamber, followed by the right atrium and the pulmonary artery. We report a case of congenital coronary artery fistula of the right coronary artery to the left ventricle with significant shunt in a 20 - year old female. It was detected by transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography and confirmed by cardiac catheterization and coronary angiography. The fistula opening was closed with 6-0 Prolene continuously under cardiopulmonary bypass and moderate hypothermia [ 28 oC ]. Postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged without specific problem.

Left atrial myxoma, an unusual clinical entity, may cause severe and progressive cardiac disease mimicking mitral valvular disease. In recent years, increased clinical awareness and improved diagnostic techniques has led to a higher incidence of correct preoperative diagnosis. Recently we experienced 2 cases of left atrial myxoma, which were removed successfully under the cardiopulmonary by pass. The first case was 45 years old woman and the second was 23 years old female. Preoperative definite diagnosis was entertained by angiocardiography and echocardiography in both cases. In the first case, tumor was removed with left atriotomy and atrial septectomy was done with additional right atriotomy. In the second case, tumor and atrial septum were removed en bloc through the right atrium. Both patients were discharged with good results 2 weeks postoperatively.

Total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR) is very rare congenital heart disease. 25-year old male was admitted our hospital with dyspnea, headache and syncope as chief complaint. He was confirmed as mixed type TAPVR by echocardiography and cardiac catheterization. In this case, mixed type TAPVR was consisted with supracardiac type connection of left pulmonary vein and cardiac type of right pulmonary vein. Supracardiac type of left pulmonary common channel was anastomosed to the left auricular appendage during total cardiopulmonary bypass with fibrillating heart. Cardiac type of right pulmonary vein was operated during moderate hypothermia and aortic cross clamping. Coronary sinus septum was incised into ASD and closed with Gore-Tex patch so that right pulmonary blood flow directed to the left atrium. The patient's post-operative course was uneventful.

Intralobar pulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital malformation characterized by a cystic portion of the lung that derives its arterial blood supply through aberrant vessel directly of systemic circulation. Intralobar pulmonary sequestration Is usually contained within the visceral pleura of a pulmonary lobe and its venous drainage to the pulmonary venous system. We experienced a case of pulmonary sequestration preoperatively confirmed. The patient was 17 year old female whose complaints were mild fever and profuse purulent sputum. Chest film showed a large thin walled cystic lesion with air-fluid level at the left lower posterior basal lung field. Aortogram revealed an aberrant artery originated from thoracic aorta just above the diaphragm and that drained via pulmonary vein into the left atrium. At time of operation, a large abscess cavity measuring 9x8x3 cm in dimension at the left lower lobe was noted. And the aberrant artery, measuring 0.5 cm in diameter and 2 cm in length, arising from thoracic aorta just above the diaphragm was noted. After division and ligation of the aberrant artery, a left lower lobectomy was performed and the patient`s postoperative course was uneventful.

Cor triatriatum is a rare congenital heart disease that is often lethal in children if not correctly identified and properly managed, Characteristically an anomalous membrane divides the left atrium into two chambers one located posterosuperiorly which is connected to the common pulmonary venous trunk and the other anteroinferiorly which is connected to the left atrial appendage and the mitral valve. Eight patients with Cor triatriatum were been seen at our hospital from 1984 to 1999. The clinical presentation diagnostic evaluation and surgical results are outlined in this retrospective review. Resection of the obstructing anomalous atrial membrane was performed using a hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass in all cases. Right atriotomy was performed in all patients and left atriotomy was performed in a patient who had poor preoperative general conditions and serious cardiac defects(TAPVR & hypoplastic left ventricle) died of low cardiac output during the immediate postoperative period. The postoperative course has been excellent in the remaining. Cor triatriatum is amenable to surgical repair with excellent results when diagnosed early and in those who are not complicated by other complex cardiac anomalies.

심장에 발생하는 원발성 그리고 전이성 종양은 개에서는 흔치 않다. 우리는 본 연구에서 심장초음파적 진단을 이용하여 요크셔테리어 2마리에서 발생한 심장내 종괴를 확인하였다. 첫째 증례에서의 종괴는 상행 대동맥과 폐동맥 사이에 위치하고 있었으며, 중증도의 대동맥 역류와 좌심실의 확장을 유발하고 있었다. 이 증례의 환자등급은 ISACHC II 등급의 심부전으로 분류되었다. 환자에 대한 심장처방으로는 furosemide, enalapril, pimobendan 그리고 경구적인 화학요법으로는 lomustine가 처방되었다. 둘째 증례에서의 종괴는 좌심방의 2/3를 차지하고 있었으며, 좌심방의 확연한 확장과 심각한 이첨판 역류 (~5 m/s) 를 유발하고 있었으나, 환자의 심부전 등급은 ISACHC Ib 등급으로 심각한 울혈성 심부전은 나타나지 않았다. 종괴의 성상은 cardiac myxoma로 추정되었으나, 조직생검검사는 보호자의 거절로 인하여 수행되지 않았다. 환자에 대한 심장처방으로는 ramipril, clopidogrel 그리고 기관지 확장제는 aminophylline이 처방되었다. 본 증례의 두 환자들은 여전히 생존해 있으며, 정기적인 검진을 받고 있다.
