Delayed cardiac tamponade in an uncommon and frequently fatal complication after open-heart surgery. We had been experienced two cases of delayed cardiac tamponade as a complication of open-heart surgery and treated successfully by reinsertion of pericardial drain through subxiphoid route. First case was 60 years old female patient and underwent MVR under impression of MSi + Ti Second case was 19 years old male patient and underwent total correction of T.O.F.with Blalock shunt [Lt]. Both cases had Initial symptoms, which were epigastric pain, chest tightness, dropped blood pressure, and increased pulse rate and respiratory rate, mimic as low cardiac output syndrome after open-heart surgery. Roentgenogram of the chest showed a rapid increased cardiothoracic ratio. It is important to realize the presence of late cardiac tamponade for proper diagnosis of complication after open-heart surgery.

식도와 주위 장기 사이의 누공 형성은 자가 확장성 식도스텐트의 잘 알려진 합병증 중의 하나이지만, 기관지 식도 누공을 수술적으로 치료한 보고는 거의 없다. 양성 식도협착 환자에 스텐트를 사용하는 경우가 점점 늘어남에 따라 이러한 후기 합병증의 빈도도 점점 증가할 것이다. 저자들은 최근 부식성 식도협착 환자에서 식도스텐트 삽입 후 발생한 기관지 식도 누공 1예를 경험하였고, 누공절제술과 Ivor Lewis 술식으로 일차성 교정술을 시행하여 좋은 결과를 얻었기에 국내 문헌상으로는 최초로 이를 보고하는 바이다.

외과적 술기와 장비의 발달로 인하여 최소 침습적인 관절경 수술이 최근 급격히 발전하고 있지만 신경 혈관 손상과 같은 중요한 합병증 역시 보고되고 있다. 이러한 외상성 슬와동맥 손상의 경우 수술의 적응증과 치료전략은 급.만성 하지 동맥 폐색증과 다른데, 저자들은 본원에서 경험한 관절경 시술 후 발생한 2예의 슬와동맥 손상의 임상경험을 진단 및 치료 전략에 대한 문헌 고찰과 더불어 보고한다.

Background: Airway anastomotic complications are a leading cause of mortality after lung transplantation. Among the factors that cause airway complications, preoperative steroid use has been considered to be related with postoperative airway healing. We analyzed the influence of preoperative steroid use on postoperative airway complications. Methods: The medical records of 66 double-lung transplant recipients from January 2014 to December 2015 were reviewed. Forty patients were prescribed steroids preoperatively. The daily steroid dose was standardized using the patient's body mass index (BMI). Patients who received preoperative steroids were sub-divided into high-dose (HD) and low-dose (LD) groups (cut-off value, 1.6 mg/BMI/day). Results: Thirteen patients suffered from airway complications postoperatively (bronchopulmonary fistula, 9; bronchial stenosis, 4). There was a tendency for early development of airway complications in the steroid use group compared to the non-steroid use group, but it was not significant (percentage free from airway complications in year 1: non-steroid group, 90.9% vs. steroid group, 79.2%; p=0.43). The percentage of patients in the LD and HD groups who were free from airway complications in year 1 was not significantly different (84.0% vs. 77.8%, p=0.39). Conclusion: The airway complication rate did not vary significantly according to steroid use. Additionally, in patients who received preoperative steroids, the dose did not affect the rate of development of airway complications.

연구배경 : 허혈성심질환 환자가 증가함에 따라 저자들은 관상동맥우회술을 시행한 환자의 치료 및 관리에 도움이 되고자 조기 성적 및 합병증 발생에 영향을 줄 수 있는 위험인자에 대하여 임상분석을 하였다. 재료 및 방법 : 1996년 6월부터 1998년 2월까지 관상동맥우회술을 시행받은 환자 42명의 연령, 성별, 술전 심박구출률, Canadian heart classification, 허혈성심장질환의 위험 인자, 술전 관상동맥 조영술 소견, 내흉동맥 사용 유무, 이식 혈관 수, 체외순환시간 등과 합병증 발생과의 상관관계에 대하여 분석하였고 생존 및 사망률, 사망원인에 대하여 조사하였다. 결과 : 술후 합병증은 17명에서 발생하였다. 합병증이 발생한 군의 평균연령은 61$\pm$11.9세로 발생하지 않은 군의 평균 연령 51세$\pm$10.5에 비해 유의하게 높았다(p=0.004). 체외순환 시간은 합병증이 발생한 군은 198$\pm$42.5분, 발생하지 않은 군은 158$\pm$47.4분으로 유의한 차이를 보였다(p=0.008). 그 외의 인자들은 통계학상 유의한 차이가 없었다. 평균 추적 조사 기간은 12.5개월이었으며 수술사망을 제외한 모든 환자에서 생존이 확인되었다. 수술사망은 2명(4.7%)이었고 그 중 1명은 대동맥판막치환술을 같이 시행받았던 환자로 술후 다발성 장기 기능부전으로 사망했고 또 다른 1명은 술후 폐렴, 창상감염 및 패혈증으로 사망하였다. 결론 : 본 연구의 결과 환자의 연령과 체외순환시간이 관상동맥우회술후 합병증 발생에 위험인자로 작용하며, 그 외의 인자는 관계가 없는 것으로 나타났다.

Between March 1978 and August 1985, 29 cases at various congenital heart diseases were reoperated because of remnant shunt of residual anomalies at Seoul National University Hospital. They were consisted of 10 cases of Tetralogy, 4 simple VSD, 6 complicated VSD. 3 partial ECD, and 5 other rare congenital anomalies. The interval between the initial and the second procedure ranged from 1 day to 122 months [mean; 26.9 months]. In 4 cases of them, the second procedure was done during initial hospitalization within 3 weeks post-operatively. The primary operation intended to be corrective surgery except four whose primary operation was palliative or exploratory one even though it was done with extracorporeal circulation. The indication for second operation was mainly residual shunt or valvular obstruction due to patch detachment or inadequate relief of stenotic lesion. Others were paravalvular leak, valvuloplasty failure, prosthetic valve failure, and inadequate primary diagnosis. Four patients were dead [14.3%]; three complicated VSD`s and one Tetralogy. There were 7 cases of nonfatal complication with subsequent improvement except one [diffuse cerebral dysfunction].

기관지흥막루를 동반한 농흥은 폐 수술이후 나타날 수 있는 심각한 합병증중의 하나이다. 이같은 기관지 흥막루를 동반한 농흥의 수술을 치료하는 몇가지 방법들이 있으나 그 결과는 언제나 만족스러운 것은 아니다. 최근 조직편 (대망, 흉벽근)을 이용하여 농흥환자에서 기관지흥막루를 막아 좋은 결과를 얻은 보고들이 나오고 있다. 우리는 1명의 환자에서 대망을, 3명의 환자에서 흉벽근을 이용하여 기관지흥막루를 막아주었다. 수술후 환자들은 특별한 문제없이 퇴원하였다.

We have experienced ten cases of emergent operation for the complications of cardiac catheterization during the period from 1985 to September 1994.Catheterization was done for the evaluation of the cardiac or vascular problem in 8 cases and 2 cases of neurosurgical problem. The extracardiac injection of contrast material have occurred in 3 cases[primum ASD,Trilogy,VSD . Six cases were unable to remove the catheter from femoral artery or vein. The catheters were knotted, coiled, impacted or broken. An embolectomy was done 40 years old man who suffered from chronic left subclavian artery obstruction a day after angiography. Open heart surgery was performed in 5 cases of cardiac perforation,impacted catheter in left inferior pulmonary vein and broken catheter of VSD. Arteriotomy was done in 4 cases to remove the knotted and coiled catheter. There was no complication or mortality for the emergent operation.

Background: This retrospective study tries to identify specific risk factors that may increase complication rates after the surgical treatment of tuberculous destroyed lung. Material and method: A retrospective study was performed on forty-seven patients, who received surgical treatment for tuberculous destroyed lung in the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery at Hanyang University Hospital from 1988 to 1998, to identify specific preoperative risk factors related to postoperative complications. Fisher's exact test was used to identify the correlations between the complications and right pneumonectomy, preoperative FEV1, predicted postoperative FEV1, massive hemoptysis, postoperative persistent empyema. Result: Hospital mortality and morbidity rates of the patients who received surgical treatment for tuberculous destroyed lung were 6.4% and 29.7%, respectively. In view of the hospital mortality and morbidity rates as a whole, predicted postoperative FEV1 less than 0.8L(p<0.005), preoperative FEV1 less than 1.8L(p=0.01), massive hemoptysis(p<0.005), postoperative persistent positive sputum cultures(p<0.0005), and the presence of multi drug resistant tuberculosis(p<0.05) presented statistically significant correlations. Among the postoperative complications, bronchopleural fistula, the most common complication, was found to have statistically significant corrleations with the preoperative empyema(p<0.05) and postoperative persistent positive sputum cultures(p<0.05). Conclusion: Although mortality and morbidity rates after surgical treatment of tuberculous destroyed lung were relatively low, when predicted postoperative FEV1 was less than 0.8L, when preoperative FEV1 was less than 1.8L, when massive hemoptysis was present, when postoperative sputum cultures were persistently positive, and when multi drug resistant tuberculosis was present, the rates were significantly higher.
