  • This paper presents a structural analysis on the rigid and deformed motion of the leaflet induced by the blood flow required in the design of a bileaflet mechanical heart valve (MHV) prosthesis. In the study on the design and the mechanical characteristics of a bileaflet mechanical heart valve, the fluid mechanics analysis on the blood flow passing through leaflets, the kinetodynamics analysis on the rigid body motion of the leaflet induced by the pulsatile blood flow, and the structural mechanics analysis on the deformed motion of the leaflet are required sequentially and simultaneously. Fluid forces computed in the previous hemodynamics analysis on the blood flow are used in the kinetodynamics analysis on the rigid body motion of the leaflet. Thereafter, the structural mechanics analysis on the deformed motion of the leaflet follows to predict the structural strength variation of the leaflet as the leaflet thickness changes. Analysis results show that structural deformations and stresses increase as the fluid pressure increases and the leaflet thickness decreases. Analysis results also show that the leaflet becomes structurally weaker and weaker as the leaflet thickness becomes smaller than 0.6 mm.

  • Background and Objectives: Tricuspid valve (TV) repair techniques other than annuloplasty remain challenging and frequently end in tricuspid valve replacement (TVR) in complicated cases. However, the results of TVR are suboptimal compared with TV repair. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of TV edge-to-edge repair (E2E) compared to TVR for severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR). Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 230 patients with severe TR who underwent E2E (n=139) or TVR (n=91) from 2001 to 2020. Clinical and echocardiographic results were analyzed using inverse probability of treatment weighting analysis and propensity score matching. Results: The two groups showed no significant differences in early mortality and morbidities. During the mean follow-up of 106.2±68.8 months, late severe TR and TV reoperation rates were not significantly different between groups. E2E group, however, showed better outcomes in overall survival (p=0.023), freedom from significant tricuspid stenosis (TS) (trans-tricuspid pressure gradient ≥5 mmHg, p=0.021), and freedom from TV-related events (p<0.001). Matched analysis showed consistent results. Conclusions: E2E for severe TR presented more favorable clinical outcomes than TVR. Our study supports that E2E might be a valuable option in severe TR surgery, avoiding TVR.

  • 고려대학교 구로병원에서는 1994년 8월부터 국내에서는 처음으로 새로운 이엽성 기계판막인 ATS(Advancing The Standard)을 이용, 21명의 환자에게 28개의 판막을 치환하였다. 환자는 평균연령 27세로 10명의 남자와 11명의 여자로 수술전후의 NYHA 기능적분류는 평균 2.9에서 1.4로 감소하였다. 심초음파상의 심박출 지수는 55.5에서 59.8으로 다소 상승하였다. 치환후 승모판 전후의 압력차는 양호하였으며,용혈 여부를 확인하기위한 LDH치는 다소 상승하였으나 임상적 중요성은 없었다. 판막과 관련된 합병증은 없었으며, 항응고제 투여와 관련된 뇌출혈이 1례 있었다. 사망례는 없었으며, 현재는 모든 환자에

  • St.Jude Medical cardiac valve replacement was performed in 322 patients: 191 had mitral, 58 had aortic, 72 had double valve and 3 had tricuspid valve replacement. Motality rate in early period was 2.8%[9 patients]. The most common cause of early death was low cardic output syndrome. Follow up extended from 1 to 90 months[mean: 34 months] in 292 patients among 313 in all surviving patients [93.6%]. There were thrombolic complications in eighteen patients. The probability of free from thromboembolism at 5 yerars in MVR, AVR and DVR were 84.7%, 91.8% and 90.2% respectively. And also, actuarial event free rate at 5 years in MVR, AVR and DVR were 80.1%, 82.2%, and 81.4% respectively. There were fourteen late death during follow up period: six from thromboembolism, one from hemorrhage and the others from non valve related -or unknown complications. The acturial survival rate at 5 years were 93.1% in mitral, 92.1% in aortic and 97.1% in double valve replacement. In conclusion, the performance of the St. Jude Mecanical valve compares most favorably with other artificial valves. But it remains still hazards of mechanical prosthesis such as thromboembolism and anticoagulant related hemorrhage.

  • A total of 217 patients underwent single mitral valve replacement [MVR] with the St. Jude Medical valve between September 1984 and the end of 1992. There were 86 males and 131 females with a mean age of 34.6 $\pm$ 14.4 years[range 5 months-61 years]. A previous valve replacement had been performed in 46 patients [21.2 %]. An early mortality rate was 7.4 % [5.2 % in primary MVR; and 15.2 %in re-replacement MVR]. Early survivors of 201 patients were followed up for a total of 934.5 patient-years[mean 4.7 $\pm$ 2.1years]. A late mortality rate was 2.5 % or 0.54%/patient-year. The linearized rates of thromboembolism, valve thrombosis and anticoagulation-related bleeding were 1.301 %, 0.214 % and 0.428 %/patient-year, respectively. The actuarial survival including operative mortality was 89.9 % $\pm$ 2.1% at postoperative 10 years. The freedom from thromboemolism was 91.3 %$\pm$ 2.5% and the actuarial estimate of incidence free from late deaths and all complications were 80.9 % $\pm$ 3.8 % at 10 years. There were no mechanical failures. In summary, the St. Jude Medical prosthesis performed satisfactorily with an acceptable rate of late complications.

  • 배경: St. Jude 기계판막은 보편적으로 사용되고 있는 기계판막 중의 하나로 국립의료원에서 18년간 St. Jude기계판막으로 판막 치환술을 시행받은 환자들의 장기 임상성적을 보고하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 1984년 2월부터 2002년 6월까지 국립의료원에서 St. Jude 기계판막으로 판막 치환술을 시행받은 163명의 연속적인 환자들을 대상으로 하였다. 대상환자의 평균 연령은 42.9$\pm$15.1세였고 남녀 각 각 69명과 94명이었다. 승모판막 치환이 87예, 대동맥판막 치환 30예, 승모판막 및 대동맥판막 치환이 45예 그리고 기타의 경우가 1예였으며, 재수술의 경우는 각각 16예, 1예 그리고 14예였다. 추적률은 96.9%였고, 전체 누적 추적기간은 823.8환자-년이었다. 결과: 조기 사망률은 7.98% (13/163)이었고 만기 사망률은 8.7% (13/150)였으나 이 중 판막 관련 합병증에 의한 사망은 4.7% (7/150)이었다. 대상환자들의 생존율은 10년과 18년 각각 91.8$\pm$2.1% 및 91.0$\pm$1.9%이었다. 혈색전증의 발생률은 1.09%/환자-년, 항응고제와 관련된 출혈의 발생률은 0.36%/환자-년, 혈전으로 인한 판막 폐쇄의 발생률은 0.24%/환자-년, 판막주위 누출 발생률은 0.12%/환자-년, 판막으로 인한 심내막염의 발생률은 0.12%/환자-년으로 판막과 관련된 전체 합병증의 발생률은 1.94%/환자-년이었다. 판막과 관련된 전체 합병증이 없을 확률은 10년과 18년 각 89.1$\pm$3.3%과 88.4$\pm$3.2%이며, 판막과 관련된 사망이 없을 확률은 10년과 18년 각 95.1$\pm$1.2%과 95.111.1%이었다. 판막 관련 합병증의 발생은 연령과 관계가 있었으며, 특히 항응고제와 관련된 출혈의 경우에는 60세 이상의 고령에 많았다. 치환된 판막의 종류나 판막의 크기와는 무관하였으나 다중판막 치환술이 시행되는 경우에는 판막 관련 합병증의 발생률 및 사망률이 모두 높았고, 재수술의 경우 판막 관련 합병증에 의한 사망률이 높았다. 결론: St. Jude기계판막을 이용하여 판막 치환술을 시행한 환자들의 장기간 추적 결과 판막과 관련된 합병증 및 사망률이 낮아 안정적인 기계판막으로 판단된다.

  • The velopharynx is a tridimensional muscular valve located between the oral and nasal cavities, consisting of the lateral and posterior pharyngeal walls and the soft palate, and controls the passage of air. Velopharyngeal insufficiency may take place when the velopharyngeal valve is unable to perform its own closing, due to a lack of tissue or lack of proper movement. Treatment options include surgical correction, prosthetic rehabilitation, and speech therapy; though optimal results often require a multidisciplinary approach for the restoration of both anatomical and physiological defect. We report a case of 56 year old male patient presenting with hypernasal speech pattern and velopharyngeal insufficiency secondary to cleft palate which had been surgically corrected 18 years ago. The patient was treated with a combination of speech therapy and palatal lift prosthesis employing interim prostheses in various phases before the insertion of definitive appliance. This phase-wise treatment plan helped to improve patient's compliance and final outcome.

  • 배경: 삼첨판막친환술은 매우 드물게 시행되는 수술이며 그 장기 성적은 만족치 못한 수준이다. 또한 어떤 종류의 인공판막을 사용하느냐에 대하여도 논란이 많은 상황이다. 서울대학교병원 흉부외과에서는 1989년 1월부터 1998년 12월까지 10년동안 71명의 환자에서 72례의 삼첨판막 치환술을 시행하였으며 이 결과를 토대로 장단기 성적과 위험요인들을 분석하였다. 대상 및 방법: 평균나이는 42$\pm$13세(16~65세)였으며 남여비는 32/39였다. 술전진단은 50례의 후천성판막질환과 18례의 선천성심장질환이 있었고 삼첨판폐쇄부전만 단독으로 있었던 경우도 4례 있었다. 사용된 인공판막은 기계판막이 69개, 조직판막이 3개였다. 승모판막치환술 또는 대동맥판막치환술과 같이 시행된 경우는 50례였고 1례에서는 폐동맥판막 치환술이 같이 시행되었다. 결과: 조기사망은 7례(9.7%), 만기사망은 7례(13.0%)였고 10년 생존율은 59.2$\pm$7.2%였다. 삼천판막혈전증은 5례에서 11번에 결쳐 발생하였으며 그중 1례는 재수술을 시행받았다. 생존자들의 대부분은 심장기능분류 I-II의 상태로 현재까지 외래 추적관찰중이다. 결론: 삼첨판막치환술은 비록 혈전증등의 위험이 상존하기는 하지만 비교적 낮은 사망률과 이환율을 보이고 있으며 기계판막의 경우에도 조직판막과 비교하여 큰 차이 없이 좋은 장기성적을 얻을 수 있었다.
