Ventricular aneurysm which was first described by John Hunter on 18th century, has been experienced by many surgeons after successful using of cardiopulmonary bypass by Cooley on 1958. According to Gorlin, the definition of ventricular aneyrysm is portion of the ventricle which is not motile at systole (akinesis) or which has paradoxical dilatation at systole(dyskinesis). The ventricular aneurysm is classified to anatomical and functional. The anatomical ventricular aneurysm is devided into true or false again. Average age incidence is ranged from 49 to 60 and male predominance is reported. The cause is ischemic coronary artery disease in almost cases but hypertropoc cardiomyopathy, congenital abscence of myocardium, complication after mitral valvular replacement and trauma may also cause the ventricular aneurysm. Angina pectoris and congestive heart failure are most common clinical manifestations Ventricular tachycardia and systemic embolization are also complained. Using cardiopulmonary bypass, aneurysmectomy alone or combination with coronary artery revasculization are currently done for surgical treatment with steady improvenment of mortality. The first patient was 33 years old man who had true type of ventricular aneurysm on inferior wall the left ventricle near apex with protruded huge organized thrombus. The thromboembolic phenomenon was noted on both lower extremities. Under cardiopulmonary bypass, aneurysmectomy and thrombectomy were done. The aneurysmal orifice was repaired with Teflon buttless suture. The second patient was 30 years old female who had large true type of ventricular aneurysm on inferior wall of the left ventricle. Under cardiopulmonary bypass, aneurysmectomy with repair of aneurysmmal orifice defect by means of double layered Dacron patch was done with reinforce by outer silastic sheet covering. She was discharged from hospoital at post op. 15th day uneventfully.

We experienced one case of the left ventricular aneurysm. The patient was 44 years old male, who complained of dysarthria and dysphagia due to right cerebellar infarction EKG revealed antero-lateral myocardial infarction, so checked 2-D echo-cardiogram showed the left ventricular aneurysm with the mural thrombus. Aneurysmectomy with removal of thrombi was made for preventing further propagation of the systemic embolization. But CABG was impossible due to fine coronary artery at the portion of myocardial infarction. Mild LCOS was noted but postop course was smooth. During 12 months follow-up period, he lives in good physical activity [MYHA F.C. II /IV] and absence of chest pain.

Ventricular false aneurysm is a rare complication of myocardial infarction We successfully operated on a case of left ventricular false aneurysm complicating a silent, undiagnosed myocardial infarction The patients, 64 year-old female, showed marked improvement in her congestive symptom after the operation and was discharged without any complication With its peculiar feature, i.e., propensity to rupture, in addition to the functionally harmful aspects shared with the true aneurysms, a false aneurysm must always be considered to be a surgical indication. Good results can be achieved by proper diagnosis and management with low operative risk.

승모판하 좌심실류는 흑인들에서 주로 발생하는 드문 질환이다. 저자들은 심실성 빈맥을 동반한 승모판하 좌심실류의 수술 치험을 보고하고자 한다. 환자는 68세 남자로 수술은 통상적인 저체온 심폐 바이패스 하에서 진행하였다. 심첨부를 들어올리고 좌심실 후방 기저부에 위치한 심실류에 직접 종절개를 넣고 먼저 심실류의 목에 해당하는 부위의 심내막을 돌아가며 고주파절제술(radiofrequency ablation)을 시행한 다음 승모판 및 판막하 구조물을 피해 첨포를 이용한 심실내 심실류봉합술(endoaneurysmorrhaphy)을 시행하였다. 수술 후 경과는 양호하였으며 현재 술 후 2년 정도 경과한 상태로 부정맥의 재발이나 승모판 기능이상은 관찰되지 않고 있다.

Cross-clamping of the descending thoracic aorta results in proximal hypertension,increase in left ventricular afterload,and impairment of distal organ perfusion. Bypass of the descending thoracic aorta is frequently advocated as an adjunct for repair of traumatic tears and degenerative aneurysms. Many methods of bypass have been proposed to provide distal perfusion and reduce left ventricular afterload during cross-clamping of the thoracic aorta. At Seoul National University Hospital, 7 patients were treated for the thoracic or thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm using left atrium-femoral artery bypass with Bio-medicus centrifugal pump between October,1989, and January,1993. There were atherosclerotic thoracic aneurysm in 3 cases, thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm due to chronic aortic dissection in 3 cases,aortic rupture due to trauma in 1 case. Total of 7 patients were operated by graft replacement with reimplantation of important branches. None of these cases developed severe complications and hospital death. We believe that the Bio-Medicus centrifugal pump is a simple and safe means of perfusing the lower body, kidneys, and spinal cord without necessitating heparinization.

To assess the usefulness of myocardial SPECT imaging to detect post-myocardial infarction ventricular aneurysms, we analyzed the Technetium-99m MIBI myocardial SPECT images of 16 patients with anterior and/or apical infarction, 9 had the previously reported findings of failure of convergence of the left ventricular walls toward the apex on SPECT images and 8 of them also had ventricular aneurysms. The ventriculography of the 2 patients with mixed pattern revealed 1 case of ventricular aneurysm and 1 case without aneurysm. Among the remaining 5 pateints with converging pattern, none had ventricular aneurysm. Of the other 11 pateints with inferior and/or lateral wall infarction, 1 patient had ventricular aneurysm and the SPECT image couldn't detect the aneurysm. $Department of Internal Medicine, College of Medicine, Seoul National University$ myocardial SPECT images for the detection of ventricular aneurysm had a sensitivity of 90 %, a specificity of 88%, and an accuracy of 89%. Thus we could get the information about presence of ventricular aneurysm as well as the status of the myocardial perfusion from the Tc-99m MIBI myocardial SPECT images.

A 53-year-old male patient who had suffered from acute myocardial infarction before a week was admitted due to postinfarction angina A mobile pedunculated left ventricular thrombus of 2.0-cm diameter which was overlooked in cardiac catheterization and ventriculographic study was diagnosed with transthoracic two-dimensional echocardiography. There was no exact clinical finding of left ventricular aneurysm and the thrombus was placed in the akinetic and hypokinetic apical portion. For preventing systemic embolism that was removed through a left ventriculotomy just prior to coronary artery bypass grafting.

Multistage unifocalization and complete repair have been performed for pulmonary atresia ventricular septal defect and major aortopulmonary collateral arteries. We reported a case that divided major aortopulmonary collateral artery was changed into an aneurysm that compressed the left main bronchus. A 1-year-8-month old boy was operated. The Rastelli operation with left pulmonary artery reconstructuion ligation of patent ductus arteriosus and take-down of right Blalock-Taussing shunt was performed on the patient who had pulmonary atreisia ventricular septal defect patent ductus arteriosus and MAPCA at 1 year and 8 months of his age. He previously underwent the unifocalization and right B-T shunt at 9 months of age,. He repeatedly had difficulty in weaning from the mechanical ventilator, After removing the aneurysm from the divided MAPCA that compressed the left main bronchus externally it was possible to wean him from the mechanical ventilator.
