Isolated primary tricuspid insufficiency except Ebstein`s anomaly is rare disease. Recently we experienced two cases of isolated primary tricuspid insufficiency and treated successfully with annuloplasty or valve replacement. We could not classify our case as one of the classification of isolated tricuspid insufficiency, because the morphology and microscopic finding did not suggest any similar variety.

투석중인 40세의 만성 신부전 환자가 우측 쇄골하정맥 협착증으로 지역병원에서 2개의 스텐트를 삽입하였다. 경과 관찰 중 한 개의 스텐트가 우심실로 이동하면서 삼첨판막 폐쇄부전이 발생하였다. 경피적으로 스텐트 제거를 시도하였으나 실패하여 개흉 성장수술로 제거하면서 삼첨판막 성형술을 시행하여 좋은 결과를 보였기에 보고하고자 한다.

Approximately 5 percent of infective endocarditis are limited to the right side of the heart, the tricuspid valve being the usual site of involvement. Usually there is no underlying cardiac disease, and the vegetations occur on previously normal tricuspid leaflets. This paper reports a case of bacterial endocarditis involving the bio-tricuspid valve in a patient with tetralogy of Fallot, and who required prosthetic valve replacement in addition to surgical therapy for the congenital lesions.

51세 환자가 3개월 전에 심장 자상으로 본원에 입원하여 심장봉합수술을 받았다. 이후 별다른 소견 없이 지내다가 약 2개월 전부터 발생된 호흡곤란을 주소로 내원하였다. 심장초음파상 심한 삼첨판막 페쇄부전이 관찰되었으며 삼첨판막의 건삭치환술과 판윤 성형술을 실시하였다. 이에 저자들은 심장 자상 후에 발생된 삼첨판막 폐쇄부전을 판막성형술로 치료하였기에 증례보고를 하는 바이다.

Severe and permanent tricuspid regurgitation induced by pacemaker leads is rarely reported in the literature. The mechanism of pacemaker-induced tricuspid regurgitation has been identified, but its management has not been well established. Furthermore, debate still exists regarding the proper surgical approach. We present the case of a patient with severe tricuspid regurgitation induced by a pacemaker lead, accompanied by triple valve disease. The patient underwent double valve replacement and tricuspid valve repair without removal of the pre-existing pacemaker lead. The operation was successful and the surgical procedure is discussed in detail.

A total of 63 patients [42 males and 21 females] underwent multiple valve replacement with artificial valves between January 1975 and August 1980 at Seoul National University Hospital. There were 38 patients with aortic and mitral valve replacement, 22 with mitral and tricuspid, and 3 with aortic, mitral and tricuspid valve replacement. The valve lesions varied from trivial to severe and most aortic and mitral valves had mixed stenosis and insufficiency, while tricuspid valves had only insufficiency. The patients were severely symptomatic in majority of the cases, and belonged to the Classes III and IV [III:45, IV:16] of the NYHA functional criteria. Hemodynamic studies were performed on all the patients. The mean pulmonary wedge pressure was remarkably increased to 19.8 mmHg in aortic and mitral valve lesions and 18.0 mmHg in mitral and tricuspid valve lesions. The mean pulmonary arterial pressure was also increased, while the cardiac index was reduced. In 1977, the average perfusion time was 245.5 minutes for aortic and mitral valve replacement and 181.6 minutes for mitral and tricuspid valve replacement. It has progressively declined to 169.2 minutes for aortic and mitral valve replacement and 123 minutes for mitral and tricuspid valve replacement in 1980. The average period of aortic occlusion also declined after the use of cardioplegic solution. Twenty deaths occurred among the 63 patients operated upon, an overall mortality rate of 30.8%. The operative mortality has declined with successive year from a level of 66.7% before 1977 to 21.1% in 1980. Fourteen patients suffered from a list of postoperative complications, which eventually resolved with adequate treatment. All the survivors were enjoying the levels of daily life activities greater than those existing before the operation.

Between April 1976 and March 1978, six cases of tricuspid valve replacement were done in the Department of Thoracic Surgery, Seoul National University Hospital. There were 4 men and 2 women and the age of the patients ranged from 17 years of the youngest to 48 years of the oldest. Most of them had characteristic symptoms of tricuspid valve disease, such as a systolic murmur audible over the lower sternum and varying with respiration, pulsatile and distended neck vein, and an enlarged and pulsatile liver. Preoperative functional levels according to NYHA Calcification were class III in 4 cases, and class IV in 2 eases. Most of the cases showed moderate to severe cardiomegaly in chest films and elevated right atrial pressure on preoperative right heart catheterization. Five of them underwent concomittent mitral valve replacement and one pulmonary valvotomy. All of them showed tricuspid insufficiency resulted from massive dilatation of annulus, destructive lesions of valve structure, or both anomalies. One postoperative hospital death was encountered and the cause of death was low out-put syndrome. All survivors showed clinical improvement and cardiomegaly regressed and left hospital in a good condition . *Attendum; Recently 2 more cases of tricuspid valve replacement with mitral valve replacement were done after this review.

Simultaneous triple valve replacements were performed in two patients on January and April 1980 at Seoul National University Hospital. The first case was 17 years old male patient with a history of exertional dyspnea for 7 years. He was in class III by the NYHA functional classification and diagnosed as aortic insufficiency, mitral steno-insufficiency and tricuspid insufficiency. The second case was 46 years old male patient suffered from exertional dyspnea for 5 years, He was in class IV and diagnosed as aortic stenoinsufficiency, mitral stenoinsufficiency and tricuspid insufficiency. Triple valve replacements were performed under the deep hypothermia and pharmacologic cardiac arrest with aortic cross clamping for 80 minutes to 159 minutes. Total extracorporeal circulation time were 197 and 176 minutes respectively. The postoperative courses were uneventful.

We report the case of a female patient who underwent late reoperation following endocarditis surgery. The patient first underwent surgery at 22 years of age for endocarditis with aortic and tricuspid insufficiency. She underwent aortic root replacement with a homograft and tricuspid valve replacement with a tissue valve. Coronary artery bypass using the internal thoracic artery and ligation of the left main coronary artery were performed. Ten years later, failure of the homograft and the tricuspid valve developed. In the second operation, the patient underwent a successful Bentall operation and tricuspid valve replacement with a mechanical valve under deep hypothermia and retrograde cold cardioplegia without drainage.

8세 11개월된 남자 환자로 좌관상동맥의 폐동맥 기시 이상증(ALCAPA)에 대해 수술교정 후 심한 삼첨판 폐쇄부전이 발생하였기에 보고한다. 경흉부 심장초음파 검사와 관상동맥조영촬영으로 좌관상동맥의 폐동맥 기시 이상 및 허혈성 승모판 폐쇄부전과 경도의 삼첨판 폐쇄부전을 확인하였다. 수술교정은 좌관상동맥에도 동맥혈관 심정지액을 공급할 수 있도록 주폐동맥에 추가로 동맥 캐뉼라를 삽입하는 방법을 이용하여 좌관상 동맥을 대동맥 근부에 직접 연결해 주었다. 술후 경식도 초음파 검사에서 좌관상동맥의 대동맥 문합 부위에서 전향성 혈류가 잘 유지되고 있었고 삼첨판 폐쇄부전이 Gr III-IV/IV로 심하게 발생하였다. 체외순환을 다시 가동 후 Kay 형 판륜성형술 및 인공 건삭 형성, 그리고 건삭 단축술로 삼첨판 성형술을 하였다. 술후 경식도 초음파 검사에서 삼첨판 역류 정도는 경도 미만이었다.
