발살바동 동맥류는 드문 심장 기형으로 수술 후 장기 생존율이 잘 알려져 있지 않다 본 연구는 발살바동 동맥류의 수술적 치료 후 장기 성적을 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1991년 1991년 3월부터 2003년 11월까지 발살바동 동맥류로 수술한 35명(남자 23, 여자 12, 평균 연령 35.2세, 범위 11세∼64세)의 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 술 전 NYHA 기능적 분류는 26명(74.3%)에서 class III∼IV였다. 술 전 심초음파상 평균 심구출률은 63.32 $\pm$ 11.43%였고 9명(25.7%)의 환자는 대동맥 판막 폐쇄 부전 grade III∼IV였다. 발살바동 파열부위의 수술은 직접 봉합이 14예(46.7%), 첩포를 이용한 폐쇄는 16예 (53.3%)에서 시행되었다. 대동맥 판막 치환술은 5예에서(14.3%) 성형술은 3예에서(8.6%) 시행되었다. 그리고 3명(8.6%)의 환자에서는 Bentall's 수술을 했으며 동반된 수술은 심실 중격 결손 폐쇄 12예 (34.3%), 심방 중격 결손 폐쇄 3예(8.6%)였다. 평균 심폐체외순환 시간은 116.79 $\pm$ 38.79분이었고 평균 대동맥 차단 시간은 81.2 $\pm$ 28.97분이었다. 결과: 수술 사망은 없었다. 1예에서 완전 방실 차단으로 영구 심장 박동기를 삽입했다. 재수술은 3예에서 시행하였는데 1예는 발살바동 동맥류 재발로 직접 봉합했고 1예는 대동맥 판막 기능 부전이 악화되어 인공 판막 치환술을, 1예는 인공 판막 치환술 후 판막 열개로 Bentall's 수술을 시행했다. 평균 추적 기간은 58.55$\pm$38.38개월이었으며 만기 사망은 1예 있었다. 5 year freedom from reoperation rate는 87.1 $\pm$ 7%였다. 결론: 발살바동 동맥류의 수술적 치료는 안전하며 만족할 만한 결과를 얻었다.

Aneurysm of the sinus of Valsalva is an uncommon cardiac anomaly, usually congenital in origin, which may occur as an isolated defect or in conjunction with other cardiac malformation. This report is a case of a ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm with ventricular septal defect in a 18-year-old female patient who complained progressive exertional dyspnea. She underwent operative management using total cardiopulmonary bypass. The fistula originated from the right coronary sinus and ruptured into the right ventricle and coexistent lesion was supracristal ventricular septal defect. The repair was done through aortic and right ventricular approach. The ruptured sinus of Valsalva was closed with pledget suture and the ventricular septal defect was closed with patch. The postoperative result was good.

Isolated iliac artery aneurysm (IAA) is rare, but can be fatal. Emergency surgery is performed in cases of hemorrhagic shock due to a suddenly ruptured IAA, which may have a high mortality rate because of massive non-compressible torso hemorrhage (NCTH). Recently, resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) has been accepted as an alternative to aortic cross-clamping via open thoracotomy to achieve hemostasis in trauma patients with profound shock due to NCTH and is considered an emerging bridging therapy for damage control. However, there is limited information on the use of REBOA in non-trauma patients with shock. Herein, we describe a patient with impending cardiac arrest due to isolated ruptured IAA, in whom perioperative bleeding was successfully controlled by REBOA.

흉부대동맥 질환에서 대동맥 내에 스텐트-도관(stent-graft)을 삽입하는 흉부 혈관내 대동맥 성형술(Thoracic endovascular aortic repair, TEVAR)은 최근 이의 적용이 점점 늘어나고 있는 추세이다. 하지만, 이 술식은 endoleak으로 인한 치료 실패, 시술 중 안착지점(landing zone)에서 발생하는 혈관벽의 손상으로 인한 역행성 대동맥박리 및 스텐트-도관 감염으로 인한 대동맥 파열 등의 심각한 합병증 발병의 위험성을 내재하고 있다. 저자들은 급성 하행 대동맥 박리 혹은 외상성 하행 대동맥 파열에서 적용된 TEVAR 후 발생한 2예의 역행성 대동맥 박리의 치료 경험을 문헌과 함께 보고하고자 한다.

Purpose: This study investigated the clinical outcomes of trauma patients with blunt thoracic aortic injuries at a single institution. Methods: During the study period, 9,501 patients with traumatic aortic injuries presented to Trauma Center of Gil Medical Center. Among them, 1,594 patients had severe trauma, with an Injury Severity Score (ISS) of >15. Demographics, physiological data, injury mechanism, hemodynamic parameters associated with the thoracic injury according to chest computed tomography (CT) findings, the timing of the intervention, and clinical outcomes were reviewed. Results: Twenty-eight patients had blunt aortic injuries (75% male, mean age, 45.9±16.3 years). The majority (82.1%, n=23/28) of these patients were involved in traffic accidents. The median ISS was 35.0 (interquartile range 21.0-41.0). The injuries were found in the ascending aorta (n=1, 3.6%) aortic arch (n=8, 28.6%) aortic isthmus (n=18, 64.3%), and descending aorta (n=1, 3.6%). The severity of aortic injuries on chest CT was categorized as intramural hematoma (n=1, 3.6%), dissection (n=3, 10.7%), transection (n=9, 32.2%), pseudoaneurysm (n=12, 42.8%), and rupture (n=3, 10.7%). Endovascular repair was performed in 71.4% of patients (45% within 24 hours), and two patients received surgical management. The mortality rate was 25% (n=7). Conclusions: Traumatic thoracic aortic injuries are life-threatening. In our experience, however, if there is no rupture and extravasation from an aortic injury, resuscitation and stabilization of vital signs are more important than an intervention for an aortic injury in patients with multiple traumas. Further study is required to optimize the timing of the intervention and explore management strategies for blunt thoracic aortic injuries in severe trauma patients needing resuscitation.

외상성 흉부 대동맥 파열에 의한 가성대동맥류에 대한 일반적인 치료 방법은 수술이다. 그러나 환자의 전신상태가 개흉술을 통한 수술 또는 체외순환보조를 통한 수술을 시행 받기 어려운 경우에는 다른 치료 방법을 선택해야 한다. 저자들은 두부, 복부, 골반의 광범위한 다발성 손상이 동반되어 수술적 치료를 시행하기 어려웠던 대동맥파열에 의한 가성대동맥류 환자에 대하여 중재적 시술을 통해 스텐트-그라프트를 삽입하여 치료한 1예를 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Ruptured aneurysms of the sinus Valsalva are relatively rare, and the incidence seems to be higher in oriental than in western countries. Five patients underwent operative treatment in Catholic Medical Center in recent 2.5 year period. Three patients were male and two patients were female, ages ranged from 20 to 54 years. Bacterial endocarditis was suspected or proved in 3 patients. In 3 patients in our series had a ruptured congenital aneurysms and in 2 patients acquired aneurysms by bacterial endocarditis. Associated cardiac lesions were common; such as aortic insufficiency in 3 patients, atrial septal defect in 2 patients, mitral stenoinsufficiency in 1 patient and tricuspid insufficiency in 1 patient. All aneurysmal ruptures of the sinus Valsalva arose from right coronary sinus and in 4 patients ruptured into right ventricle and in 1 patient into right atrium. Surgical techniques consisted of direct closure 4 in patients and closure with Dacron patch in 1 patient. And we preferred double approach, that is, through both the aorta and the involved cardiac chamber in cases in whom aortic insufficiency was present. So additional aortic valve replacement performed in 2 patients due to severe aortic insufficiency and aortic valvuloplasty performed in 1 patient. One patient who underwent direct closure of ruptured sinus Valsalva and double valve replacement died due to low cardiac output syndrome just after the operation. Operative results were relatively good in remainders.

Acute complicated type B aortic dissection (TBAD) is a potentially catastrophic, life-threatening condition. If left untreated, there is a high risk of aortic rupture, irreversible organ or limb damage, or death. Several risk factors have been associated with acute complicated TBAD, including age and refractory hypertension. In the acute phase, even uncomplicated patients are more prone to develop complications if hypertension and pain are left medically untreated. Innovations in stent graft technologies have incrementally improved outcomes since their first use for this condition in 1999, though improvement is needed in mitigating periprocedural complications, adverse events, and mortality. In the past decade, endovascular repair has become the preferred treatment because of its superior outcomes to open repair and medical therapy. The Valiant Captivia Thoracic Stent Graft System is a third-generation endovascular stent graft with advancements in minimally invasive delivery, conformability to the anatomy, and the minimization of adverse sequelae. Herein, this stent graft is briefly reviewed and its 3-year outcomes are presented. Freedom from all-cause and dissection-related mortality was 79.1% and 90.0%, respectiv ely. The Valiant Captiv ia Stent Graft represents a safe, effective intervention for acute complicated TBAD. Continued surveillance is needed to verify its longer-term durability.
