  • A 55-year-old woman who had received an implantable left ventricular assist device 3 months earlier presented with dyspnea and a low-flow alarm of the device. Computed tomography and log-file analysis of the device system suggested inflow cannula obstruction. Since the patient had cardiogenic shock due to pump failure, venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) was initiated. With ECMO, surgical exchange of the pump was considered. However, the obstruction spontaneously resolved without surgical intervention. It turned out that an obstructive thrombus was washed out by rebooting the pump. Moreover, the thrombus was embolized in the patient's left subclavian artery. The patient underwent heart transplantation 4 months after the pump obstruction accident and continued to do well.

  • 본 논문은 의료기기용 고주파 수술기 및 RF 통신장치 등에 사용되는 high frequency 정현파 전원장치의 디지털화에 관한 연구로 고주파 수술기의 경우 절개의 깊이를 사용자가 임의로 설정할 수 있고, 동작 모드에 따라 절개와 응고를 한 장치로 시술하는 것이 가능하여 그 사용이 증가 추세에 있으나 기존의 고주파 수술기의 경우 핵심 부품이 전량 수입에 의존해야 하는 진공관으로 구성되어 있어 회로의 구성과 유지보수의 측면에서 어려움이 있으며 핵심 부품을 전량 수입하여야 함에 따라 단가의 상승을 피할 수 없어 디지털화 한 대체 기술의 개발 필요성이 매우 크다 할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기존의 고주파 수술기에 사용되는 high frequency 정현파 전원장치를 디지털화한 전원장치를 제안하고 실험을 통해 그 성능을 입증 하였다.

  • The aim of this study was to achieve the healing of peri-implantitis defects and the hard tissue regeneration using the augmentation of a xenograft on defect site. Two patients were treated with the surgical approach. With a full muco-periosteal flap elevation, the implant surfaces were exposed and taken the debridement of granulation tissue around the abutment. Each surface of the abutments was prepared with the air-abrasive device (PerioFlow$^{(R)}$) for decontamination. Bovine-derived bone mineral (Bio-Oss collagen$^{(R)}$) was then used to fill the defects, and no membrane was placed on the grafting site. Radiographs and clinical photo was taken to compare from baseline status. Within the limits of the present case, this case shows the significance of the surgical treatment of peri-implantitis. And this also verifies the stability of bovine-derived bone mineral and effectiveness of Air-abrasive device (PerioFlow$^{(R)}$).

  • Total ankle replacement (TAR) is a visible option in the surgical treatment of degenerative or inflammatory diseases of ankle joint. it is attributed to the current TAR which has improvements in surgical technique, uncemented implant fixation and minimally constrained articulation. In the clinical result, they can show promised surgical result when compared to earlier attempts in TAR. However, TAR is still not as successful as total knee replacement (TKR) or total hip replacement (THR), it needs to be note that there are limitations in concerning of long term performance of TAR, the high failure rate still associated with wear of the PE (polyethylene) component that has related with their material property and surface roughness. The aim of this study was to introduce the tribology characteristics of total ankle joint prosthesis with one of TDR model which was fabricated to try multi-axis wear test as a region of motion in ankle joint. The wear specimen of TDR was prepared with Ti-6Al-4V alloy and UHMWPE (ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene) for tibia-talus and bearing component, respectively. A wear test was carried out using a Force 5 (AMTI, Massachusetts, US) wear simulator which can be allowed to move in three axis to flexion-extension ($+3^{\circ}{\sim}-6^{\circ}$), internal-external axial rotation (${\pm}5^{\circ}$), as well as sinusoidal compressive load (1.6 kN, R=10). All tests were performed following standard ISO 14243, wear rate was calculated with weight loss of UHMWPE bearing while the specimen has tested at certain cycles. As based on the preliminary results, wear rate of UHMWPE bearing was $7.9{\times}10^{-6}mg/cycles$ ($R^2=0.86$), calculated loss weight until $10^7cycles$ was 79 mg, respectively.

  • It is expected that fully-implantable middle-ear hearing devices (FIMEHDs) will soon be available with the advantages of complete concealment, easy surgical implantation, and low power operation to resolve the problems of semi-implantable middle-ear hearing devices (SIMEHDs) such as discomfort of wearing an external device and replacement of battery. Over the last 3 years, a Korean research team at Kyungpook National University has developed an FIMEHD called ACRHS-1 based on a differential floating mass transducer (DFMT). The main research focus was functional improvement, the establishment of easy surgical procedures for implantation, miniaturization, and a low-power operation. Accordingly, this paper reviews the overall system architecture, functions, and experimental results for ACRHS-1 and its related accessories, including a wireless battery charger and remote controller.

  • Atrial septal defect (ASD) is one of the most common congenital heart defects in adults. Surgical repair is the most common treatment approach, but device closure has recently become widely performed in accordance with the trend toward less invasive surgical approaches. Although surgery is recommended when ASD is accompanied by atrial fibrillation, this study reports a case in which a complete cure was achieved by closure of a device and totally thoracoscopic ablation.

  • Le fort 1 osteotomy surgery is one of the most popular surgical methods for the treatment of patients with facial bone deformities. An intermediate wafer splint is used to fix the bone segment to the planned position, but there are many steps that can cause errors. To reduce these errors, we propose a method of using a surgical guide made with virtual surgical simulation.

  • Background: The present study introduces the design and fabrication of a simple surgical guide with which to perform genioplasty. Methods: A three-dimensional reconstruction of the patient's cranio-maxilla region was built, with a dentofacial skeletal model, then derived from CT DICOM data. A surgical simulation was performed on the maxilla and mandible, using three-dimensional cephalometry. We then simulated a full genioplasty, in silico, using the three-dimensional (3D) model of the mandible, according to the final surgical treatment plan. The simulation allowed us to design a surgical guide for genioplasty, which was then computer-rendered and 3D-printed. The manufactured surgical device was ultimately used in an actual genioplasty to guide the osteotomy and to move the cut bone segment to the intended location. Results: We successfully performed the osteotomy, as planned during a genioplasty, using the computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) surgical guide that we initially designed and tested using simulated surgery. Conclusions: The surgical guide that we developed proved to be a simple and practical tool with which to assist the surgeon in accurately cutting and removing bone segments, during a genioplasty surgery, as preoperatively planned during 3D surgical simulations.

  • A two-month-old infant presented with coarctation of the aorta, severe left ventricular dysfunction, and moderate to severe mitral regurgitation. Through median sternotomy, the aortic arch was repaired under cardiopulmonary bypass and regional cerebral perfusion. The patient was postoperatively supported with a left ventricular assist device for five days. Left ventricular function gradually improved, eventually recovering with the concomitant regression of mitral regurgitation. Prompt surgical repair of coarctation of the aorta is indicated for patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction. A central approach for surgical repair with a back-up left ventricular assist device is a safe and effective treatment strategy for these patients.
