Background: Monocusp reconstruction with a transannular patch (TAP) results in early improvement because it relieves residual volume hypertension during the immediate postoperative period. However, few reports have assessed the long-term surgical outcomes of this procedure. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the mid-term surgical outcomes of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) repair using monocusp reconstruction with a TAP. Methods: Between March 2000 and March 2009, 36 patients with a TOF received a TAP. A TAP with monocusp reconstruction (group I) was used in 25 patients and a TAP without monocusp reconstruction (group II) was used in 11 patients. We evaluated hemodynamic parameters using echocardiography during the follow-up period in both groups. Results: At the most recent follow-up echocardiography (mean follow-up, 8.2 years), the mean pulmonary valve velocities of the patients in group I and group II were $2.1{\pm}1.0m/sec$ and $0.9{\pm}0.9m/sec$, respectively (p=0.001). Although the incidence of grade 3-4 pulmonary regurgitation (PR) was not significantly different between the two groups (group I: 16 patients, 64.0%; group II: 7 patients, 70.0%; p=0.735) during the follow-up period, the interval between the treatment and the incidence of PR aggravation was longer in group I than in group II (group I: $6.5{\pm}3.4years$; group II: $3.8{\pm}2.2years$; p=0.037). Conclusion: Monocusp reconstruction with a TAP prolonged the interval between the initial treatment and grade 3-4 PR aggravation. Patients who received a TAP with monocusp reconstruction to repair TOF were not to progress to pulmonary stenosis during the follow-up period as those who received a TAP without monocusp reconstruction.

For the purpose of avoiding postoperative massive pulmonary insufficiency after transannular outflow tract reconstruction in patients with tetralogy of Fallot, we have used monocusp bearing outflow patch since June 1983. Right heart catheterization and pulmonary arteriography were performed in 7 patients among the total 11 patients corrected with monocusp bearing outflow patch during postoperative 14th day to 22nd day. Particular attention was paid to the evaluation of the pulmonary valve competence, and the results were; 1.One patient died of acute renal failure secondary to low cardiac output and the operative mortality was 9.1%. 2.The average PRV/FA ratio was 0.491 and the average systolic pressure gradient between right ventricle and pulmonary artery was 17.7mmHg. The average Qp/Qs was 1.13. 3.Inspite of using monocusp bearing outflow patch, the hemodynamic and pulmonary arteriographic results were unsatisfactory in respect to pulmonary valve competence.

목 적 : 폐동맥판 역류를 감소시키고자 2000년 4월부터 자기 판막을 이용한 판막 재건술을 시행하였으며, 이러한 수술 방법이 폐동맥판 역류와 임상적인 결과의 호전을 주는지 알아보고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방 법 : 1991년 7월부터 2004년 8월까지 동아대학교 의료원에서 활로사징으로 완전 교정술을 시행한 환아 중, 자기 판막 조직을 이용한 폐동맥 판막 재건술을 시행한 31례(PVR군)와 수술 후 같은 추적 관찰 기간을 가진 활로사징 환아 중 경판륜 첩포(transannular patch) 확장 수술 후 단엽(monocusp)을 삽입한 47례(MVOP군), 경판륜 첩포 수술만 시행한 22례(TAP군)를 대조군으로 하였다. 이들 대조군과 PVR군에서 폐동맥판 역류, 폐동맥 판막의 기능, 삼첨판/승모판 판륜의 비율, 심-흉곽 비율을 계측하여 비교하였다. 결 과 : MVOP군에서 심초음파 검사상 중등도의 폐동맥판 역류는 수술 직후 35례(74%)에서 관찰되었고, 우심실의 확장이 있는 경우가 12례(26%)였다. 그러나 PVR군은 중등도의 폐동맥판 역류는 6례(19%)였고, 우심실의 확장이 있는 경우는 1례(3%)에 불과하였다. 이후 매년 추적 검사상 MVOP군에서 거의 모든 예에서 중등도의 폐동맥판 역류를 보였고, PVR군에서 점차 증가하는 경향을 보였다. MVOP군의 수술 직후 초음파 검사에서 운동성이 확인되지 않은 경우가 18례(38%)였으며, 12례에서는 양호한 판막 기능을 보였다. PVR군은 30례(96%)에서 우수한 판막 기능을 보여 주었고, 1례(3%)에서 양호한 판막 기능을 보였다. 추적 관찰 기간 중의 판막의 기능은 MVOP군에서 추적 관찰 기간에 따라 판막 기능의 급격한 감소를 보여 주었으며, PVR군은 1년, 2년, 3년, 4년 추적 관찰 기간에 각각 27례(90%), 21례(75%), 14례(68%), 8례(50%)로 관찰 기간이 경과할수록 기능이 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 심-흉곽의 비율은 세 군에서 수술 직후에는 차이가 없었으나 PVR군이 1년, 2년, 3년, 4년 추적 관찰 기간에 통계학적으로 유의하게 양군에 비해 감소되었다. 그러나 MVOP군과 TAP군간에는 통계학적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다. 삼첨판/승모판 판륜 직경의 비는 수술 직후에는 차이가 없었으며 추적 관찰 기간 1년, 2년 및 3년에 양 군에 비해 통계학적으로 유의하게 차이가 있었다. 그러나 MVOP군과 TAP군간에는 통계학적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다. 결 론 : PVR군이 다른 군에 비해 폐동맥판 역류의 정도는 감소되었으며, 판막의 기능이 양호하였고, 심-흉곽 비율, 삼첨판/승모판 판륜의 비가 유의하게 낮았다. 그러나 PVR 군에서 폐동맥판 역류 정도, 판막 운동의 저하가 추적 관찰 기간이 경과함에 따라 악화하는 경향을 보였으며, 장기적인 추적 관찰이 필요하리라 생각된다.

Glutaraldehyde have been used as the most effective cross-linking agent for stabilizing collagen fibers and preventing biodegradation. We processed bovine pericardium in a solution containing 0.625% glutaraldehyde,0.05M HEPES buffer and 0.26% magnesium chloride in saline. The glutaraldehyde-preserved bovine pericardium was implanted in 36 patients at Seoul National University Hospital during a 11-month period between May 1989 and March 1990. 24 were males and 12 females, with ages ranging from 6 months to 168 months [mean age of 43 months]. In 12 patients, the glutaraldehyde-preserved bovine pericardium was used for orthotopic reconstruction of the pericardial sac. In 24 patients. the glutaraldehyde-preserved bovine pericardium was heterotopically implanted.; pulmonary monocusp implant and RVQT [right ventricular outflow tract] patch widening were performed in 10 patients, pulmonary monocusp implant in 6, RVOT patch widening in 4, valved conduit in 2, conduit and pulmonary angioplasty in 1, and ventricular septation in l. With vascular suture techniques, the anastomoses were immediately tight. There was no bleeding from the needle holes and no oozing through bovine pericardium itself. During the follow-up period of up to 10 months, no infections of the glutaraldehyde-preserved bovine pericardium occurred and no bovine pericardium-related complications were observed in this series.

We report a successful surgical correction of type II truncus arteriosus without using a extra-cardiac conduit in an 2 month-old infant. The truncal root is transected, and the confluence of branch pulmonary arteries is brought anterior to the aorta by using Lecompte`s maneuver. The aorta is then reconstructed directly with an end-to-end anastomosis. The right ventricular outflow tract is reconstructed by anastomosing the posterior wall of the confluence directly to the upper part of the vertical right ventriculotomy. A monocusp ventricular outflow patch is then placed anteriorly to complete reconstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract. The patient had an uncomplicated postoperative course and was discharged on the 9th postoperative day.

A 25-month-old patient with complete atrioventricular septal defect and Tetralogy of Fallot underwent repair of both anomalies. The diagnosis was established preoperatively by 2D-echocardiography, cardiac catheterization and cardioangiogram, Repair was accomplished using cardiopulmonary bypass and profound hypothermia to 18C, Closing of the atrioventricular septal defect was achieved with the use of two Dacron patchs by an atrial approach alone. Infundibulectomy and outflow tract reconstruction with the transannular pericadial patch containing a monocusp were performed. Upon the postoperative evaluation by 2D-echocardiography, mitral regurgitation was absent, but a tiny dehiscence of ventricular patch and minimal tricuspid regurgitation were noticed.

소아에서 대동맥 판막 질환의 경우 합리적인 수술법인 Ross술식을 적용함에 있어,우리 나라의 경우 현실적으로 이용에 어려움이 있는 Ross술식에 필요한 동종이식 판막의 사용을 배제한다는 발상으로 10마리의 15 kg가량의 돼지를 이용 REV술식 등을 시행하고 3마리의 성공 례를 3개월 이상 사육하여 성돈이 된 후 그 판막의 발육 및 기능을 관찰하였다. 대동맥 및 폐동맥 등에 협착의 소견은 없었으며, REV술식으로 사용되었던 monocusp보철편의 변형 및 심한 석회화가 관찰되어 이미 판막으로의 기능 은 상실하였으나 발육에는 큰 지장이 없는 것이 확인되어 REV와 Ross술식의 병행 수술요법이 사람에 서도 적 용될 수 있을 것으로 사료되 며, 계속 석회화 방지에 관한 연구가 진행되면 더욱 좋은 성적을 기대할 수 있겠다.

The experience with operative treatment for total correction of Fallot at the department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Keimyung University Dong San Medical Center from July 1980 to July 1984 was reviewed. There were 37 males and 12 females and their ages ranged from 3 years to 30 years, with the average age of 12.2 years. Sixty nine point four percent of patients were younger than 15 years of age. The most frequent type of right ventricular outflow stenosis was the combined type [pulmonary valvular and infundibular stenosis] containing 41 patients [83.7%] and there were 9 deaths in this group. The major associated lesions included Patent foramen ovale in 20 patients [40.8%], Atrial septal defect in 7 patients [14.3%], Left superior vena cava in 4 patients [8.2%], Right sided aortic arch in 2 patients [4.1%] and Patent ductus arteriosus in 11 patient [2.0%]. The pulmonary valvotomy was performed in 41 patients and patch graft reconstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract was performed in 23 patients. In 11 patients the monocusp patches were used. Thirty-five patients [71.4%] had the right bundle branch block postoperatively. There were 11 postoperative deaths with hospital mortality rate of 22.4% and the leading causes of death were low output syndrome, bleeding, and cerebral embolism.

Pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum, and with VSD were uncommon congenital anomalies with high mortality in the neonatal period. Those survivals depend on an adequate interatrial communication or interventricular communication and pulmonary flow via large aortopulmonary collateral including PDA. Recently we experienced surgical correction of 2 cases pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum and with VSD. On case 1, 10-years old male patient was confirmed as pulmonary valvular membranous atresia with intact ventricular septum combined with large functioning PFO and mild tricuspid incompetence. So we performed total correction under the E.C.C, that was PDA ligation, RVOT reconstruction with monocusp valved outflow patch [16mm], repair of tricuspid insufficiency and closure of PFO. Post-operative hemodynamic result was good and there was no event during hospital course. On case 2, 16-years old female patient was diagnosed as pulmonary atresia with VSD and PDA. MPA was absent, remained fibrous cord like remnant and type of VSD was subaortic defect [3cm by 3cm in the size]. PDA was located at the usual site. Under the E.C.C. VSD patch closure through the right ventriculotomy, anastomosis between the right ventricular outflow tract and the pulmonary bifurcated site with the extra-cardiac Hancock valved conduit [22cm] and PDA ligation were performed.
