본 가톨릭대학교 의과대학 흉부외과학 교실에선 최근 10년간 10예의 발살바동 동맥류 파열환자를 경험하였다. 8명은 선천성이었으며 2명은 세균성 심내막염에 의한 후천성이었다. 동반된 심질환으로는 대동맥판막폐쇄부전증 4예, 심방중격결손증 2예, 심실중격결손증 1례, 승모판막폐쇄부전증 1례 그리고 삼첨판막폐쇄부전증 1례가 있었다. 전례에서 동맥류가 우관상동에서 발생하였으며, 8명의 환자에서 우심실으로 2명의 환자에서 우심방으로 파열하였다. 저자들은 대동맥절개와 동맥류가 파열된 심방 또는 심실절개를 통한 수술을 선호하였으며, 8명의 환자에서 Dacron 첩포를 사용하여 봉합하였고 2명의 환자에서는 단순봉합하였다. 전 환자에서 양호한 결과를 보였으며, 술후 사망예는 없었다.

The extended transseptal approach to the mitral valve replacement has been used for 30 patients. There were 19 women and 11 men. Twenty five patients had rheumatic heart disease, 4 had degenerative valve ,and 1 had valve prolapse. Fifteen of 30 patients had other associated procedure; 10 had aortic valve replacement; 5 had tricuspid annuloplasty. There were no postoperative complications associated with the approaches, ie, no bleeding, no sinus node dysfuction, and no atrioventricular conduction disturbance. Despite division of the sinus node artery, preoperative atrial rhythms[3 sinus rhythms and 27 atrial fibrillations were not changed during postoperative period. The extended transseptal approach provides good mitral valve exposure without inherent complications, and is superior to that of standard approach, so we use it routinely for mitral valve procedure.

목 적 : 발살바동 동맥류는 선천성으로 발생하며 비교적 드문 질환이나 파열시 급성 심부전으로 진행되어 사망할 수 있으므로 수술만이 유일한 치료방법이다. 이에 저자는 지난 14년간 발살 바동 동맥류 파열로 수술을 받은 환자들을 대상으로 임상적 특징 및 수술 결과에 대하여 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 이번 연구는 1990년 1월부터 2004년 2월까지 경북대학교병원에서 발살바동 동맥류 파열로 진단 받은 17명의 환자를 대상으로 임상증상, 이학적 소견, 과거병력, 동반 심질환 유무, 수술소견 및 장기적인 예후에 대하여 조사하였다. 결 과 : 남자가 13례, 여자가 4례 였으며, 평균연령은 $30{\pm}12.5$세(10-59세)였다. 술전 시행한 초음파 검사상 동반된 심질환으로는 심실 중격 결손이 8례(모두 이중연관 동맥하 결손), 대동맥 폐쇄부전이 11례에서 관찰되었다. 수술 소견상 누공의 위치는 우관상 동맥동-우심실 13례, 우관상 동맥동-우심방 1례, 비관상동맥동-우심실 2례 그리고 비관상 동맥동-우심방이 1례였으며, 심실 중격 결손이 14례에서 관찰되었으며, 모두 이중연관 동맥하결손이었다. 수술방법은 13례에서 첩포봉합, 4례에서 단순봉합을 실시하였으며, 대동맥판막 치환술은 4례, 대동맥판막 성형술은 2례에서 시행되었다. 수술로 인한 사망은 한 례도 없었으며, 추적 관찰기간($40{\pm}49$개월) 중 심질환으로 사망한 례도 없었다. 결 론 : 발살바동 동맥류는 많은 환자에서 심실 중격 결손, 특히 이중연관 동맥하 결손을 동반하므로, 심초음파 검사를 시행할 때 이 결손을 찾기 위해 세밀한 주의가 필요하다. 나아가서 크기가 작은 이중연관 동맥하 심실 중격 결손의 치료 방침도 재조명할 필요가 있을 것이다.

Human atria play an important role in extracellular homeostasis through release of atrial natriuretic peptide. To evaluate the relationship between plasma level of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and many changes which can develop during extracorporeal circulation, we studied 16 patients undergoing, 12 cardiac operation and 4 thoracic operation. Plasma level of ANP in cardiac patients group was significantly higher and more changeable than thoracic patients group. After aortic cross clamp release, blood was filled at right atrium and right atrial pressure was rapidly increased. At the same time, plasma level of ANP was rised suddenly. Increase of ANP level was correlated (p<0.05) with the increase of total bypass time, but was not correlated statistical with aortic cross clamp time. ANP level did not fall rapidly after aortic cross clamp while both atria were completely empty. This result was explained by intraoperative hypothermia at that time, which can inactivate plasmal endopeptidase and catalytic receptors of ANP. The ANP level of atrial fibrillation group in cardiac patients were generally higher than normal sinus group, but there was no statistical correlation.

An eight-day-old neonate was diagnosed with dextro-transposition of the great arteries, atrial septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, and a single sinus origin of the coronary arteries. The single coronary artery originated from the left sinus (sinus 2), had a proximal left circumflex arterial branch, and passed anteriorly to the right side of the aorta, further branching into the right coronary and left anterior descending arteries. We successfully performed an arterial switch operation and coronary transfer by tube graft reconstruction with autologous aortic tissue to treat the dextro-transposition of the great arteries and atrial septal defect with a single-sinus origin of the coronary arteries.

Formation of an aneurysm in the sinus of Valsalva of the aortic root is usually due to an area of congenital weakness in its wall. This aneurysm may progressively dilate and rupture into any of the cardiac chambers or into the pericardial cavity. Though this is conventionally treated by surgery, interventional therapy using various closure devices is becoming more common. Embolization of these closure devices may occur. We report a case of embolization of such a device into the left pulmonary artery which during surgical retrieval, unmasked the hidden ventricular septal defect (VSD). Therefore one has to be cautious while making a diagnosis of rupture of the sinus of Valsalva of right coronary sinus without VSD.

The results of conventional operative resection of diffuse subaortic stenosis[tunnel subaortic stenosis] have been less than satisfactory. We have performed modified Konno operation to enlarge the outflow tract of both ventricle with a patch in three patients with diffuse tunnel subaortic stenosis in the department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Seoul National University Children`s Hospital. Preoperative left ventricular aortic pressure gradients were 135 mmHg, 50 mmHg, 80 mmHg respectively in these patients. After right ventriculotomy, the septotomy was done and extended beyond the limit of the stenosis and fibrous and/or muscular tissue was removed from each edge of septal incision. After adequate widening of the tunnel subaortic stenosis with various patches, right ventricle was closed primarily or with prosthetic patches successfully. One patient who was diagnosed as complete atrioventricular septal defect had complete AV block preoperatively and was implanted permanent pacemaker, and others who were sinus rhythm preoperatively have no serious postoperative rhythm disturbance. One patient developed mild postoperative aortic insufficiency and one who had preoperative aortic insufficiency has still same grade of aortic insufficiency after operation. All had good postoperative hemodynamics without any postoperative residual pressure gradient.

10 개월령 수컷 래브라도 리트리버종 개가 특히 과도한 운동 이후에 나타나는 운동 불내성으로 내원하였다. 신체검사에서 좌측 심첨부와 심저부에서 제1심음의 분열음과 grade III/IV의 이완기 역류성 잡음이 청진되었다. 심전도 검사에서 휴식기에는 정상 동박동을 나타낸 반면, 운동 후에는 각 차단과 함께 심실상성 빈맥이 나타났다. 흉부 방사선에서는 정상 심장크기(VHS 10.2)이나, 확장된 상행 대동맥이 관찰되었다. 심장초음파에서는 대동맥 판막상단부위에서 기시된 비정상적인 판막성 구조물에 의해 대동맥 역류증이 관찰되었고 그 결과 좌심실 박출율(LVEF)이 감소되는 소견을 보였다. 상기의 결과를 토대로 본 증례를 비정상의 판막 구조물에 의한 선천성 대동맥 역류증으로 진단하였다. 환자에게 diltiazem을 처방하였으며, 운동제한을 시켰다. 본 증례는 매우 드물게 보고되는 대동맥 판막 기형이다.

A 17-year-old male patient of aortic stenoinsufficiency with a small aortic annulus underwent aortic valve replacement[St. Jude Medical valve 21mm] with Rittenhouse-Man-ouguian procedure[patch enlargement of the area of the noncoronary sinus and anterior mitral leaflet] The used patch was made from tubular dacron graft[the longitudinal length was 35mm, the width 20mm]. The length of incision into anterior mitral leaflet was 10mm and the aortic annulus was enlarged in 10mm, The patient was evaluated with two-dimensional echocardiography at 4 month after operation and the result was excellent.

Background: Generalization of standardized surgical techniques to treat aortic valve (AV) and aortic root diseases has benefited large numbers of patients. As a consequence of the proliferation of patients receiving aortic root surgeries, surgeons are more frequently challenged by reoperative aortic root procedures. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of redo-aortic root replacement (ARR). Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 66 patients (36 male; mean age, $44.5{\pm}9.5years$) who underwent redo-ARR following AV or aortic root procedures between April 1995 and June 2015. Results: Emergency surgeries comprised 43.9% (n=29). Indications for the redo-ARR were aneurysm (n=12), pseudoaneurysm (n=1), or dissection (n=6) of the residual native aortic sinus in 19 patients (28.8%), native AV dysfunction in 8 patients (12.1%), structural dysfunction of an implanted bioprosthetic AV in 19 patients (28.8%), and infection of previously replaced AV or proximal aortic grafts in 30 patients (45.5%). There were 3 early deaths (4.5%). During follow-up (median, 54.65 months; quartile 1-3, 17.93 to 95.71 months), there were 14 late deaths (21.2%), and 9 valve-related complications including reoperation of the aortic root in 1 patient, infective endocarditis in 3 patients, and hemorrhagic events in 5 patients. Overall survival and event-free survival rates at 5 years were $81.5%{\pm}5.1%$ and $76.4%{\pm}5.4%$, respectively. Conclusion: Despite technical challenges and a high rate of emergency conditions in patients requiring redo-ARR, early and late outcomes were acceptable in these patients.
