In this study, we developed a whole cardiovascular system model combined with a Laplace heart based on the numerical cardiac cell model and a detailed arterial network structure. The present model incorporates the Laplace heart model and pulmonary model using the lumped parameter model with the distributed arterial system model. The Laplace heart plays a role of the pump consisted of the atrium and ventricle. We applied a cellular contraction model modulated by calcium concentration and action potential in the single cell. The numerical arterial model is based upon a numerical solution of the one-dimensional momentum equations and continuity equation of flow and vessel wall motion in a geometrically accurate branching network of the arterial system including energy losses at bifurcations. For validation of the present method, the computed pressure waves are compared with the existing experimental observations. Using the cell-system-arterial network combined model, the pathophysiological events from cells to arterial network are delineated.

Thirteen patients with cyanotic cardiac malformations having more complex intracardiac defects, hemodynamics and operative procedures than ones in Tetralogy of Fallot undertaken total surgical corrections from July 1981 to August 1985. The cases of corrective surgery for complex cardiac malformations were 3.9% of all congenital cardiac malformations and 12.6% of cyanotic cardiac malformations. Six patients died within 30 days after surgery. So operative mortality was 46%; Transposition of the great arteries, two of 4 patients, due to low cardiac output syndrome and tracheal bleeding ; Univentricular heart, one of 3 patients, due to bleeding; Corrected transposition of the great arteries, one of 2 patients, due to acute heart failure; Tricuspid atresia, one of 2 patients, due to low cardiac output syndrome; Double outlet right ventricle, one of single patient, due to respiratory failure. The cases of surgical correction for complex cardiac malformations are progressively increasing in numbers. The more accurate evaluation of anatomical condition and hemodynamics in preoperative diagnosis, studies on applicable surgical procedure and perioperative care of patients are necessary in the improvement of clinical and surgical results.

The Fontan operation is a heart operation used to treat complex congenital heart defects like tricuspid atresia, hypoplastic left heart syndrome, pulmonary atresia and single ventricle. A single ventricle is dedicated to pumping oxygenated blood to the systemic circulation and the entire systemic venous return reaches the pulmonary arterial system without the direct influence of a pumping chamber. In the patient with Fontan operation, it is important to achieve adequate pulmonary blood flow and cardiac output in anesthetic management. In this case, a 10-year-old boy (19.6 kg, 114 cm) with cleft palate, cerebral palsy and severe mental retardation, who underwent a Fontan operation when he was 4 years old, was presented for deep sedation. Because he was suffering from eating disorder with cleft palate, the orthodontist and the plastic surgeon planned to insert intraoral orthodontic device before cleft palate repair. But it was impossible to open his mouth for alginate impression procedure. After careful pre-anesthesia evaluation we planned to administer deep sedation with propofol infusion. After Intravenous catheter insertion, we started propofol intravenous infusion with the formula of a loading dose of 1.0 mg/kg followed by an infusion rate of 6.0 mg/kg/hr with syringe pump. His blood pressure was remained around 80/40 mmHg after loss of consciousness, but he could not maintain his airway patent. So we lowered the infusion rate to 3.0 mg/kg/hr, immediately. The oxygen saturation was maintained above 95% with nasal oxygen supply, and blood pressure was maintained around 100-80/60-40 mmHg. After the sedation of 110 minutes with propofol (the infusion rate to 3.0-5.0 mg/kg/hr), he fully regained consciousness, and was discharged without complication after 1 hour observation. In case of post-Fontan patient, intravenous deep sedation with propofol was safe and effective method of behavioral management during dental treatment.

Objective: Motion-corrected averaging with a single-shot technique was introduced for faster acquisition of late-gadolinium-enhancement (LGE) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging while free-breathing. We aimed to evaluate the image quality (IQ) of free-breathing motion-corrected single-shot LGE (moco-ss-LGE) in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Materials and Methods: Between April and December 2019, 30 patients (23 men; median age, 48.5; interquartile range [IQR], 36.5-61.3) with HCM were prospectively enrolled. Breath-held single-shot LGE (bh-ss-LGE) and free-breathing moco-ss-LGE images were acquired in random order on a 3T MR system. Semi-quantitative IQ scores, contrast-to-noise ratios (CNRs), and quantitative size of myocardial scar were assessed on pairs of bh-ss-LGE and moco-ss-LGE. The mean ± standard deviation of the parameters was obtained. The results were compared using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results: The moco-ss-LGE images had better IQ scores than the bh-ss-LGE images (4.55 ± 0.55 vs. 3.68 ± 0.45, p < 0.001). The CNR of the scar to the remote myocardium (34.46 ± 11.85 vs. 26.13 ± 10.04, p < 0.001), scar to left ventricle (LV) cavity (13.09 ± 7.95 vs. 9.84 ± 6.65, p = 0.030), and LV cavity to remote myocardium (33.12 ± 15.53 vs. 22.69 ± 11.27, p < 0.001) were consistently greater for moco-ss-LGE images than for bh-ss-LGE images. Measurements of scar size did not differ significantly between LGE pairs using the following three different quantification methods: 1) full width at half-maximum method; 23.84 ± 12.88% vs. 24.05 ± 12.81% (p = 0.820), 2) 6-standard deviation method, 15.14 ± 10.78% vs. 15.99 ± 10.99% (p = 0.186), and 3) 3-standard deviation method; 36.51 ± 17.60% vs. 37.50 ± 17.90% (p = 0.785). Conclusion: Motion-corrected averaging may allow for superior IQ and CNRs with free-breathing in single-shot LGE imaging, with a herald of free-breathing moco-ss-LGE as the scar imaging technique of choice for clinical practice.

단심증과 총폐정맥연결이상증을 동반한 환아는 조기에 증상이 발현하는 경우가 흔하며, 특히 폐쇄성 폐정맥 통로가 존재하는 경우는 사망률이 매우 높은 질환으로 보고되고 있다. 이런 환아군에 대한 일단계 수술 결과와 이에 영향하는 위험인자를 분석하고자 본 연구를 실시하였다. 대상 및 연구방법: 1987년 1월에서 2002년 6월까지 서울대 어린이병원 흉부외과에서 경험한 총폐정맥연결이상증을 동반한 단심증으로 일단계 교정술을 받은 39례를 대상으로 하였다. 환아의 연령의 중앙값은 2.4(0.03~10.7)개월이었고, 남녀비는 29:10이 었다. 단심증은 우세우심실 20례, 방실중격결손을 동반한 단심증 15례, 우세좌심실 3례, 삼첨판 폐쇄증이 1례였고 총폐정맥연결이상증은 상심형 22례, 심장형 5례, 하심형 11례, 혼합형 1례였다. 폐쇄성 폐정맥 통로를 보였던 환아는 11례였다. 수술은 37례에서 단심증의 폐혈류 균형을 조절하기 위한 고식술을 시행하였으며, 31례에서 총폐정맥연결이상증을 함께 교정하였다. 본 연구에서는 상기 환자군을 대상으로 술전상태, 사망률, 술후경과 등을 살펴보고, 조기 사망에 영향하는 인자들을 발견하기 위해 단변량, 다변량 분석법을 이용하였다. 결과: 생존 환아의 평균추적관찰기간은 34.3$\pm$43.0(0.53~146.2)개월이었으며 조기사망률은 43.6% (17/39)였다. 조기사망원인은 저심박출증이 8례, 심기능부전에 의한 심례기이탈 실패가 3례, 술후 발생한 패혈증을 동반한 감염(2), 발작성 폐동맥 고혈압(1), 폐부종(1), 폐렴(1), 부정맥(1) 등이었다. 단변량분석에서 조기사망에 영향하는 인자는 체중, 신생아기 수술적응, 폐정맥 통로의 폐쇄, 술전상태, 일단계 수술시 총폐정맥연결이상증의 교정, 수술시간, 심폐기가동시간 등이었고, 다변량분석에서는 체중, 일단계 수술 당시의 연령, 신생아기 수술적응, 술전상태, 심폐기가동시간 등이 위험인자로 분석되었다. 결론$\boxUl$ 연구자 등은 본 연구를 통하여 총폐정맥연결이상증을 동반한 단심증이 조기에 증상이 발현되어 신생아기 또는 조기 영아기에 일단계 수술이 필요한 경우가 흔하고, 특히 폐정맥 통로의 폐쇄를 동반한 경우 술전상태가 불량함에도 불구하고 조기에 수술적 교정이 불가피한 경우가 적지 않으며, 이 경우 일단계 수술시 총폐정맥연결이상증에 대한 수술적 교정이 추가되어 수술시간 및 심폐기가동시간이 연장되고 이로 인해 술후 심근기능의 저하가 초래되어 높은 수술 사망률을 보인다는 사실을 확인하였다. 반면, 폐정맥 통로의 폐쇄를 동반되지 않은 일부 환아군에 대하여 일단계 수술시 이를 교정하지 않고 차후로 미루는 것이 수술시간 및 체외순환시간을 단축하고 심근 기능저하와 폐혈관 손상을 줄여 수술성적의 향상을 기대할 수 있었다. 그러나 이러한 수술 방침이 최종단계의 폰탄 술식까지 성공적으로 시행하기 위한 이상적인 치료원칙임을 입증하기 위해서는 보다 장기적인 추적이 필요하다.

Coronary sinus ostial atresia (CSOA) with persistent left superior vena cava (LSVC) in the absence of an unroofed coronary sinus is a benign and rare anomaly that may be taken lightly in most instances. However, if overlooked in patients undergoing univentricular heart repair such as bidirectional Glenn or Fontan-type surgery, fatal surgical outcomes may occur due to coronary venous drainage failure. We report a case of CSOA with a persistent LSVC that was managed through coronary sinus rerouting during a total cavopulmonary connection, and provide a review of the literature regarding this rare anomaly.

Truncus arteriosus is a rare and highly lethal cardiac anomaly characterized by a single arterial trunk emerging from the heart and supplying the coronary, systemic, and pulmonary circulations, The first successful correction of truncus arteriosus was reported by McGoon et al. in 1968 and was based on experimental work reported by Rastelli et al. in 1967 in which a conduit consisting of a homograft of the ascending aorta and aortic valve was used to establish continuity between the right ventricle and the pulmonary arteries, Modification of this procedure using a Dacron tube valved with porcine xenograft instead of a homograft have resulted in the current definite treatment for truncus arteriosus. This report describes an 3 years and 4 months old boy with heart failure from type I truncus arteriosus who was diagnosed as the V. S. D. with pulmonary hypertension preoperatively and underwent corrective surgery employing the Rastelli procedure using a Dacron conduit valved with canine xenograft, but died due to massive bleeding from the anastomosis sites in operating room.

Cor triatriatum is a relatively rare cardiac anomaly, whose major feature is a fenestrated membrane separating an upper common pulmonary venous chamber from a lower true left atrial cavity. Interatrial communications may be present between the right atrium and the common pulmonary venous chamber or the true left atrium. From April 1981 to April 1992, 24 patients with cor triatriatum were treated at Seoul National University Hospital. Ages ranged from 1 month to 24 years with mean of 7.4 years. Twenty patients had interatrial communications through a patent foramen ovale, primum or secundum defect of the atrial septum. Four had no interatrial communications. Fourteen patients had associated anomalies; partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection in 3, total anomalous pulmonary venous connection in 2, persistent left superior vena cava in 3, and other anomalies in 6 patients. Surgical corrections were performed through right atriotomy in 18 patients, left atriotomy in 4, and both atriotomy in 2. Three patients [12.5%] died early after operation; two of them were associated with single ventricle. Six out of 21 survivors [28.6%] experienced complications; recurrent pneumonia, pulmonary embolism, ischemic encephalopathy, diaphragmatic palsy and tachyarrhythmias. At the time of follow up, all survivors, except one, were in functional class I. Surgical correction of cor triatriatum restored normal hemodynamic status with relatively low operative mortality, especially in patients not complicated with severe anomalies. This report summarizes the clinical diagnosis, associated anomalies, interatrial communications, surgical approach and late result of 24 patients underwent surgical corrections in our hospital.
