In cleft lip and/or palate patients with the complex congenital heart diseases, surgical repair of the cleft lip and/or palate has been postponed after the open heart surgery because the heart problem of the patient might cause more complications associated with anesthesia and surgery. There has been little report about experiences in the surgical management of these patients and optimal time of surgical intervention. Authors are introducing the experiences of performing corrective surgery of cleft lip and/or palate in the patients with congenital heart diseases before and after the open heart surgery. We managed five patients from May 1992 to March 2004. Two patients were male and the rest were female. One of them had cleft lip alone and others had cleft lip and palate. Two of them underwent delayed cleft lip and/or palate surgery after open heart surgery, and the rest had immediate intervention for cleft lip and/or palate. There was no complication during the operation and postoperative period. There would be no need to delay the corrective surgery of the cleft lip and/or palate after the open heart surgery, if solid medical team approach was available with the pediatric cardiologist and the anesthesiologist.

From January 1991 to January 1995, 11 patients with aortic diseases underwent various surgical repairs. The age at operation ranged from 26 years to 63 years[ mean=50.9 years . The disease entities included 8 aortic dissections[ type I in 4, type II in 2 and type III in 2 cases , 2 Marfan`s syndrome with annuloaortic ectasia and 1 desecending thoracic aortic aneurysm The operative procedures we tried were 3 Bentall`s operation, 5 graft replacement of ascending aorta, and 3 graft interposition in descending thoracic aorta.Overall hospital mortality rate is 36.3%[4/11 . And causes of death are pump weaning failure in 2 cases and multiorgan failure in 2 cases. It was that 2 sternal dehiscence & mediastinitis, 1 acute renal failure, 2 hypoxic brain damages and 2 postoperative psychosis were complicated. Recently we tried surgical repair of aortic dissection five out of 6 cases using total circulatory arrest with deep hypothermia at 14$^{\circ}C$. Total circulatory arrest time ranged from 18 to 26 minutes[ mean 22.2 minutes , and mean aortic cross-clamping time was 48.2 minutes. One of 5 patient died on the 7th postoperative day due to multiorgan failure. Mortality of patients with TCA was 20%[1/5 , and it of remainders was 50%[3/6 . Our result for surgical repair using total circulatory arrest with deep hypothermia is satisfactory on the basis of our clinical data.

From January 1978 to December 1992, 59 patients of double chambered right ventricle were repaired. Surgical correction consisted of closure of the ventricular septal defect and resection of anomalous muscle bundles through right ventriculotomy [Group I ; 34 patients] or right atriotomy [Group II ; 25 patients]. Between these two groups, there was no difference in the operation time and the postoperative results. All patients survived. In group I, hemodynamically significant residual ventricular septal defect was found in three and reoperations were necessary. In one patient, subacute bacterial endocarditis developed postoperatively. In group II, complete atrioventricular block developed in one and mediastinitis in two. Follow-up period was from 2 to 75 months [mean 17.1 months]. There was no late death. All patients have remained in sinus rhythm except one patient. Careful evaluation of echocardiographic and catheterization data preoperatively and careful examination of the anatomy intraoperatively are necessary so that double chambered right ventricle should not be overlooked, because most ventricular septal defects are now closed through the right atrium. Repair of double chambered right ventricle is also easily performed through the atrial approach. Transatrial repair should be considered as an alternative to the transventricular approach in patients with this congenital heart defect. Successful surgical correction of double chambered right ventricle is expected with excellent long term results.

Congenital atresia of the left main coronary artery (LMCA) is an extremely rare coronary anomaly that necessitates surgical correction. Patients with LMCA atresia may have various clinical symptoms, which are determined by the degree of collateral vessel development from the right coronary system, the metabolic demands of the heart, and concomitant mitral insufficiency caused by myocardial ischemia. Unlike in adults, there are limited surgical options for coronary artery disease in children. Herein, we report a case of LMCA atresia with mitral regurgitation in a 19-month-old child that was successfully corrected by coronary artery bypass grafting and mitral valve repair.

Traumatic abdominal wall hernia is a rare presentation, most commonly reported in the context of motor vehicle accidents and associated with blunt abdominal injuries and handlebar injuries in the pediatric population. A 13-year-old boy presented with multiple traumatic injuries and hemodynamic instability after a high-speed motor vehicle accident. His injuries consisted of massive traumatic abdominal wall hernia (grade 4) with bowel injury and perforation, blunt aortic injury, a Chance fracture, hemopneumothorax, and a humeral shaft fracture. Initial surgical management included partial resection of the terminal ileum, sigmoid colon, and descending colon. Laparostomy was managed with negative pressure wound therapy. The patient underwent skin-only primary closure of the abdominal wall and required multiple returns to theatre for debridement, dressing changes, and repair of other injuries. Various surgical management options for abdominal wall closure were considered. In total, he underwent 36 procedures. The multiple injuries had competing management aims, which required close collaboration between specialist clinicians to form an individualized management plan. The severity and complexity of this injury was of a scale not previously experienced by many clinicians and benefited from intrahospital and interhospital specialist collaboration. The ideal aim of primary surgical repair was not possible in this case of a giant abdominal wall defect.

Fifty seven patients underwent repair of a partial atrioventricular septal defect from January 1980 to December 1986. The ostium primum atrial septal defect was closed with autologous or bovine pericardium. The cleft in the anterior mitral leaflet was present in 53 cases, absent in 4 cases. Of the 53 cases with a cleft in the anterior mitral leaflet, 48 received suture repair of the cleft, 3 received mitral valve replacement. There was no hospital death and all the patients were followed-up for a mean period of 26.4 months. Four required permanent pacemaker implantation due to complete heart block, and one of them died of sudden malfunction of pacemaker. Two received reoperation due to significant residual mitral insufficiency. Suture repair of the cleft in the anterior mitral leaflet resulted in significant decrease in degree of mitral regurgitation. During follow-up period 49 patients were in NYHA class I, 7 patients were in NYHA class II. This report suggests that excellent result can be achieved from repair of the partial atrioventricular septal defect by managing the left A-V valve as a bileaflet structure.

Delaminated rotator cuff tear pertains to the horizontal split of the tendon substance. As reported previously, the presence of a delaminated tear and incidence of delaminated rotator cuff tear ranges from 38% to 92%. The different strain intensities applied across the rotator cuff tendon, and the shear stress between the bursal and articular layers seem to play a role in its pathogenesis. In a delaminated rotator cuff tear, the degree and direction of retraction between two layers differ, with accompanying intrasubstance cleavage. A surgeon therefore needs to consider and carefully evaluate the tear characteristics when repairing delaminated rotator cuff tear. Delaminated rotator cuff tear is considered to be a poor prognostic factor after rotator cuff repair, but numerous surgical repair techniques have been introduced and applied to resolve this problem. Recent literature has reported good clinical outcomes after delaminated rotator cuff repair.

Barlow's disease with mitral annular calcification encompassing the subvalvular apparatus, including the valve leaflet and chordae, is extremely rare, and mitral valve repair in such cases is challenging. We report a case of a 60-year-old woman with mitral valve regurgitation that was successfully controlled by resecting the rough zone of P2 and calcifications on the excess leaflet regions and subvalvular apparatus, while retaining the calcification of P3 and implanting artificial chordae and an annuloplasty ring. Mitral valve repair for such cases requires an individualized and compounded surgical strategy for the technique to treat Barlow's disease and manage calcification to control mitral regurgitation.

Repair of incomplete endocardial cushion defect was accomplished in two cases in September 1973 in this department. In each case a low atrial septal defect and a cleft of mitral septal cusp were found. Interrupted suture repair on the cleft mitral cusp and closure of the atrial septal defect with dacron patch were done successfully. Rigg-Kyvsgaard bubble oxygynator and Sigma motor were utilized for extracorporeal circulation. Follow up study, six months after discharge, revealed satisfactory results.
