To minimize the period of brain ischemia and the potential for neurologic damage during aortic arch replacement, we used the arch-first technique. First case was a 28-year-old female with extensive aneurysm involving ascending, arch and descending thoracic aorta. Exposure was obtained via a bilateral via a bilateral thoracotomy (clamshell incision) in the anterior 4th right and 3rd left intercostal space with oblique sternotomy. To prepare for arch perfusion, the side-arm graft(10mm) was anastomosed to the aortic graft, opposite the site of the planned anastomosis to the arch vessels. After completing the arch anastomosis under total circulatory arrest(37min) and retrograde cerebral perfusion(12min), aortic graft was clamped on either side and the arch was perfused via side-arm graft for 36min. When distal aortic anastomosis was finished, distal clamp of aortic graft was released and arch vessels were perfused via common femoral artery, and the proximal aortic anastomosis was accomplished. The patient was discharged with no event. Second case was a 48-year-old male with extensive aneurysm involving ascending, arch, and aortic regurgitaiton(grade III/IV). This case was also done using the clamshell incision. Aortic valve replacement was done by valved-conduit(Vascutek 30mm), both coronary artery anastomosis using Cabrol's procedure. Last operation procedure was the same as the 1st case.

목적: 각각 12개와 32개 요소 표면 코일 어레이를 사용한 가속율이 매우 큰 관상동맥 자기 공명 혈관조영술을 병렬 영상 기법에 적용하고 결과를 비교한다. 방법: 5명의 건강한 지원자에 대하여 1.5T 전신 자기공명영상장치에서 각각 12개와 32개 요소 표면 코일 어레이를 사용한 steady state free precession 자기공명 혈관조영술이 수행되었다. 각 지원자의 좌전하방관상동맥과 우관상동맥을 영상하여 데이터를 얻었다. 데이터는 병렬 영상을 위하여 1에서 6에 이르는 감소율로 부분 추출되었다. 양 코일 어레이 각각에 대하여 지형 인자의 평균, 극대, 그리고 인공물정도가 계산되었다. 결과: 모든 감소율에 있어서, 32개 요소 어레이가 12개 요소 어레이에 비하여 지형인자의 평균과 극대, 그리고 인공물정도가 상당히 줄어들었다 (P << 0.1). 지형인자의 평균은 관상동맥의 영상 방향에 민감한 반면, 지형인자 극대치와 인공물정도는 영상 방향에 독립적이었다. 결론: 가속율이 매우 큰 관상동맥 자기공명 혈관조영술의 병렬 영상 적용에 있어 32개 요소 표면 코일 어레이를 사용함은 인공물과 잡음을 상당히 억제시킨다. 32개 요소 표면 코일 어레이를 사용하여 가속율을 증가시키는 것은 공간 해상도를 향상시키거나 3D관상동맥 자기공명 혈관조영술에 있어서 체적 범위를 증가시킬 수 있는 가능성을 제공한다.

배경: 급성 심근경색증은 치사율이 높은 질환으로 일부 환자들에 있어서 수술은 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 연구에서는 급성 심근 경색증 후 협심증으로 수술을 시행 받은 환자들에서 심근벽 운동지수와 좌심실 박출계수의 변화를 통하여 수술 후 좌심실 수축력 변화를 조사하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2001년 1월부터 2004년 12월까지 급성 심근 경색증을 진단 받고 2주 이내에 수술한 환자들을 대상으로 하였다. 수술 전과 수술 후의 심근벽 운동지수와 좌심실 박출계수를 비교하였으며 이에 관련된 인자들을 조사하였다. 결과: 심근벽 운동지수는 $1.54{\pm}4.30$에서 수술 후 $1.43{\pm}0.40$ (p<0.001)으로 감소되었고, 좌심실 박출계수는 $48.1{\pm}12.2%$에서 $49.7{\pm}12.3%$ (p=0.009)로 호전되었다. 무심폐기하 관상동맥수술, 비 Q파 경색, 전벽(anterior) 경색과 경색 후 7일 이내 수술한 경우는 좌심실 박출계수 호전에 관계된 인자였다(p=0.046, p=0.006, p=0.003, p=0.005). 반면에 상기 인자들은 심근벽 운동지수의 호전과는 관계가 없었다. 삼혈관질환을 가진 환자들을 대상으로 하였을 때, 완전 재관류는 심근벽 운동지수 향상에 영향을 미치는 요소였다(p<0.001). 결론: 급성 심근경색증 환자들에 있어서 관상동맥 우회술은 심근벽 운동지수와 좌심실 박출계수의 호전을 가져오며 이는 좌심실 수축기능 호전의 근거로 설명될 수 있다. 특히 비 Q파 전벽성(anterior) 경색인 경우 7일 이내의 조기 수술은 좌심실 박출계수를 호전시키는 데 도움을 줄 것으로 생각되며, 완전 재관류는 심근벽 운동지수의 향상에 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 생각된다.

Among noninvasive approaches for the evaluation of left ventricular performance, radionuclide ventriculography (RVG) has been shown to be of particular values. Phase analysis, recently introduced as more objective means for evaluating the temporal sequence of systolic ventricular wall motion than cine image of RVG comprises a pixel by pixel Fourier transformation of the time activity curve of a multiple gated acquisition equilibrium blood pool study. To examine the regional wall motion of ventricles in myocardial infarctions, we evaluated the phase image and histogram constructed for each ventricle by total phase angle range and full width of half maximum (FWHM). This study consisted of 7 normal subjects and 23 subjects with acute myocardial infarction. Contrast ventriculography and coronary angiography was performed in all partients with myocardial infarction. And we compared the result of phase analysis with cine image of RVG and examined the interrelationship between phase analysis and contrast ventriculography with coronary angiography. The results were as follows; 1) The total phase angle range and FWHM of LV phase histogram in myocardial infarction ($86^{\circ}\;and\;32^{\circ}$, repectively) were wider than those in normal control ($38^{\circ}\;and\;18^{\circ}$, respectively p<0.01). 2) RV phase angle range and FWHM in patients with right coronary artery (RCA) occlusion ($79^{\circ}\;and\;37^{\circ}$, respectively) were wider than those in normal control ($39^{\circ}\;and\;18^{\circ}$, respectively p<0.001) and the patients without RCA occlusion ($52^{\circ}\;and\;19^{\circ}$, respectively p<0.01). 3) Phase analysis was more sensitive (95%) than cine image of RVG (70%) for the detection of regional wall motion abnormality of LV.

Eighty-four cases of mitral commissurotomy were done in this department between October 1958 and September 1970. Therc wcre 54 males and 30 females. Six cases were under the age of 20 years. Prcoperativc embolization occurred in 9. 5% of the cases. consisting of 8. 3% cerebral and 1.2% peripheral embolization. Intraoperative and postoperative cmbolization occurred in 4.7% of the cases, with 1. 2% cerebral and 3.5% peripheral embolism. Two out of three postopeative embolism cases expired, one of which was caused by septic cerebral embolism due to valve vegetation nnd the other by mesenteric embolism. Atrial fibrillation was 1loted ill 43% of the case. Seventy closed mitral commissurotomy was done by left appendegeal approach with finger fracture method or Bailey's guillotine valvotome. Fourteen open mitral commissurotomy cases were done either by right side approach or median sternotomy, three of which were reoperation cases after blind mitral commissurotomy. One out of 14 cases were operated on with open mitral commissurotomy and concomitant open aortic valve bicuspidalization, This case expired due to severe serum hepatitis ten days after operation. Thirty-two per cent of valve calcification was noted during operation and one of which had marked vegetation on the valve cusps too. Operative mortality was 1.4% in blind mitral commissurotomy and 14% in open mitral commissurotomy. Over-all mortality in the entire series was 3.5%. One case among the blind commissurotomy cases expired during operation due to left inferior pulmonary vein laceration and death was caused in two open mitral commissurotomy cases by coronary artery airembolism. Three hospital death occurred in blind operation group, one due to coronary embolism, and two by hepatic failures. Three hospital death among open heart surgery cases were caused by hepatic failure in two and cerebral embolism in one cases. ln most of the survivors improved functional capacity and exercise lolerance were noted.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to identify relationship between the PWV and the temperature difference. Methods: When it comes to senile patients who suffer from cold limbs, there is need to see whether or not the patient's low temperature of the limbs is do to arteriosclerosis. The Pulse Wave Velocity(PWV) is a non-invasive method measuring the artery's rigidness. And the Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging(D.I.T.I) is a non-invasive method to see the body's thermal change. Research on the interrelationship of the artery's rigidness and body's thermal distribution was done by using these two tests. The subjects of this research were patients between the age 40~65 who have done both the D.I.T.I and PWV in March 2005~ September 2005. They had to have no history of diabetes, coronary illnesses or cerebrovascular diseases which are diseases that can effect the outcome of the PVW, nor history of spondylopathy or dermatosis which can effect the outcome of the D.I.T.I. Results: The results were as follows. 1. There was a significant interrelationship between the right wrist-ankle PWV and the temperature difference of the right wrist-palm. 2. There was a significant interrelationship between the left wrist-ankle PWV and the temperature difference of the left wrist-palm. 3. There was no significant interrelationship between the right wrist-ankle PWV and the temperature difference of the right thigh-dorsum of foot. 4. There was no significant interrelationship between the left wrist-ankle PWV and the temperature difference of the left thigh-dorsum of foot. 5. The right ABI showed no significant interrelationship between the temperature difference of the right wrist-palm and the right thigh-dorsum of foot. 6. The left ABI showed no significant interrelationship between the temperature difference of the left wrist-palm and the left thigh-dorsum of foot. Conclusion: The study shows that there was a significant interrelationship between wrist-ankle PWV and the temperature difference of wrist-palm.

Dynamic left ventricular (LV) outflow tract obstruction is a characteristic feature of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; however, it can also occur in association with hyperdynamic LV contraction and/or changes in the cardiac loading condition, even in a structurally normal or near-normal heart. Here, we report a case of anemia-induced systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve and the resultant intraventricular obstruction in a patient who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting and suffered from anemia associated with recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding.

Supravalvular aortic stenosis may be defined as an obstructive congenital deformity of the ascending aorta which originates just distal to the level of the origin of the coronary arteries. It may occur in several different anatomical form. Three type have been described; the hourglass, the hypoplastic and the membranous type, each term identifying the gross characteristic of the lesion causing by the aortic obstruction. Non cardiovascular condition commonly associated with supravalvular aortic stenosis are mental retardation, facial anomalies, hypercalcemia, etc. The diagnosis can be established preoperatively by left heart catheterization and selective angiography. Recently, we experienced a case of multiple localized supravalvular aortic stenosis involving, just above the sinus Valsalva and just proximal of the innominate artery. The surgical correction which was performed by a vertical incision across the each narrowing of aorta with replacement of diamond shaped double velour Woven Dacron patch under the CPB. He was discharged without any event.

A 53-year-old man presenting with dyspnea and chest pain was diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction secondary to occlusion of the left circumflex coronary artery. Urgent revascularization by percutaneous stenting was successfully performed. However, the post-echocardiography revealed a ruptured papillary muscle that was causing severe mitral regurgitation and aggravation of congestive heart failure. The patient subsequently underwent mitral valve repair with papillary muscle re-implantation. Postoperative echocardiography showed a competent mitral valve without residual stenosis or regurgitation. The patient was discharged from the hospital with an uneventful recovery and has been doing well on outpatient follow up.
