Pulmonary artery aneurysm usually carries an ominous prognosis due to the associated pulmonary hypertension. In July 1981, a patient with a huge aneurysm of main pulmonary artery secondary to pulmonary hypertension and bacterial endocarditis due to a patent ductus arteriosus was treated by resection of the aneurysm and Dacron patch graft replacement and closure of the patent ductus arteriosus. The immediate postoperative result was excellent. We now report the surgical treatment, clinical course, and one and half years follow up of the patient.

목 적: 초극소 체중아에서 혈역학적으로 의미 있는 동맥관 개존증은 심각한 합병증의 발생을 증가시키나 동맥관 폐쇄에 대한 적절한 시점과 치료 방법에 대한 원칙은 없는 실정이다. 본 연구는 혈역학적으로 의미 있는 동맥관 개존증의 지연된 폐쇄가 예후에 미치는 영향을 분석하고자 하였다. 방 법: 2005년 3월부터 2007년 5월까지 본원 신생아중환자실에 입원한 1,000 g 미만의 동맥관개존증 환아 58례($26{\pm}2wk$, $782{\pm}146g$)를 대상으로 조기 폐쇄군(생후 7일 이내 폐쇄) 38례와, 지연 폐쇄군(생후 7일 이후 폐쇄) 20례로 분류하여 분석하였다. 혈역학적으로 의미 없는 동맥관 개존증 4례, 선천성 기형 1례, 생후 7일 이내에 사망한 3례는 제외되었다. 결과: 대상 환아 58명의 평균 재태 주령은 $26{\pm}2$주, 출생체중은 $782{\pm}146g$이었다. 주산기 요인으로 지연 폐쇄군에서 재태주령이 짧고($25.7{\pm}1.7wk$ vs $27.1{\pm}2.0wk$), 체외 수정의 빈도가 높았으며(55% vs 24%, P=0.017), 산모의 전자간증이 적었다(5% vs 34%, P=0.013). 동맥관 직경은 조기 폐쇄군과 지연 폐쇄군 간에 통계학적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다. 기관지 폐 이형성증(95% vs 65%, P=0.012), 뇌실내 출혈(70% vs 39%, P=0.027), 비정상적 청력검사 결과(32% vs 8%, P=0.024)는 지연 폐쇄군에서 유의하게 증가하였다. 또한 재태주 령을 보정한 다중회귀분석에서 동맥관 폐쇄가 지연될수록 인공 환기 치료기간(r2=0.362, P=0.008), 총 입원기간(r2=0.257, P=0.020), 완전 장관수유까지 걸린시간(r2=0.305, P<0.001), 총 정맥영양기간(r2=0.224, P=0.010)이 유의하게 증가하였다. 결 론: 초극소 체중아에서 혈역학적으로 의미 있는 동맥관 개존증은 폐쇄가 지연될수록 여러 합병증을 유발하므로 출생 1주 이내에 적극적인 약물적, 수술적 치료가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

The observations of the anatomical closure of the ductus venosus (DV) and vestige of DV were studied in 22 cattle, ranging from 210-day-old fetus to 3-years old Korean native cattle. Vinylite solution was injected into the hepatic, portal, umbilical veins and caudal vena cavae of 22 specimens for vinylite corrosion casts. The DV originated at the confluence of the umbilical and portal veins and emptied into the left hepatic vein or posterior vena cava. The DVs were persisted in a 210-day-old fetus, a 240-day-old fetus, and a 270-day-old fetus. Two newborns, two 2-year-old and two 3-year-old cattle had no rudimentum of DV (6 cases, 31.58%). However, vestiges of DV in varying sizes were observed in a 14-day-old, a 3O-day-old, two 180-day-old and nine adult cattle (13 cases, 68.42%). The lengths of vestiges of DV were about 4.97~99.66 mm. Therefore, the present study demonstrates that DV in cattle can be degenerated during the late period of a pregnancy.

A 5-year-old female Cocker spaniel dog (body weight 7.0 kg) was presented with primary complaints of exercise intolerance and loud precordial thrill which was noticed since she was a puppy. Physical examination revealed a grade V/VI continuous murmur over the maximal point of the left basal area, bounding femoral pulse, but no differential cyanosis. Tall R waves were detected in electrocardiogram, suggesting left ventricular enlargement. Diagnostic imaging studies showed enlarged left ventricle, bulged descending aorta (dAo), markedly dilated right pulmonary artery, and continuous shunt flow between the dAo and main pulmonary artery. Based on these findings, the dog was diagnosed as left to right shunted patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). The patent ductus arteriosus was treated by lodging a PDA duct occluder via the transvenous approach. Clinical signs were markedly improved after the ductal occlusion, the shunt flow was mildly persistent. The case presented is the first case of PDA occluded by the PDA duct occluder via the transvenous approach in a small breed of dog. Although the residual shunt flow was mildly persisted, the dog was clinically normal without detectable murmurs.

미숙아에 동반된 동맥관 개존증에서 indomethacin에 의한 폐쇄치료법이 소개된후 비수술적 치료방법 으로 각광을 받아왔으나, 증상이 있는 동맥관 개존증의 수술적 폐쇄는 가장 확실하고 안전한 치료법으 로 다시 평가받고 있다. 저자들은 최근에 체중 540gm과 1395gm 미숙아에서 indomethacin에 반응하지 않는 개존동맥 관을 clip 결찰하였다. 540gm의 미숙아는 술후 28시간에 사망하였는데 심한 혈소판 감소증을 보이는 등 출혈성 소인으로 이한 출혈이 원인이 되었다. 두 번째 미숙아 역시 indomethacin치료에도 호전이 없었으며 입원 8일째 괴 사성 소장결장염 합병으로 인한 회장천공으로 수술받았다. 체중증가가 없고 인공호흡기 이탈이 불가능 하여 입원 34일에 개존동맥관을 결찰하고동시에 회장조루복원술을시행하였다. 술후 6일째 인공호흡 기를 제거할 수 있었고 술후 33일에 체중 2050gm에 달하여 양호한 상태로 퇴원하였다.

The management of Patent Ductus Arteriosus[PDA] with heart failure and cardiac cachexia in premature infants have been a disturbing and controversial problem in the field of pediatric cardiovascular surgery.We analysed our experiences to determine the rationale of surgical closure of PDA in infants . During a period of 7 years from January 1986 to December 1992, 12 infants under 2 months of age underwent operations for "hemodynamically significant" PDA which had caused severe heart failure.There were 6 male and 6 female patients. Their mean gestational age was 33.8 weeks and their mean body weight was 1990 g. ranged from 710 g. to 2900 g. Mean age at operation was 28.5days. Seven patients had history of Indomethacin trial. All patients were operated with double ligation technique under general anesthesia.There was no mortality and blood transfusion was not necessary in any patient during the operation.In all cases, we could confirm the complete closure of PDA after operation by follow-up echocardiography.Two patients died during their hospital stay and 1 patient died at 6 months after operation. The causes of death were sepsis with congestive heart failure, necrotizing entero colitis and pneumonia respectively.We can not detect any operation related complication which resulted in permanent sequelae as well as delayed complications related to nerve damage. These results indicate that surgical ligation of PDA in infants with severe heart failure is relatively safe and effective.effective.

Purpose: Plasma level of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), an emerging, sensitive, and specific biomarker of hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), rapidly decreases in infants receiving cyclooxygenase inhibitors for ductal closure. We investigated the usefulness of serial BNP measurement as a guide for individual identification of early constrictive responses to ibuprofen in preterm infants with symptomatic PDA (sPDA). Methods: Before March 2010, the standard course of pharmacological treatment was initiated with indomethacin (or ibuprofen) and routinely followed by 2 additional doses at intervals of 24 hours. After April 2010, individualized pharmacological treatment was used, starting with the first dose of ibuprofen and withholding additional ibuprofen doses if the BNP concentration was <600 pg/mL and clinical symptoms of PDA improved. Results: The BNP-guided group received significantly fewer doses of ibuprofen than the standard group did during the first course of treatment and the entire study period. The need for further doses of cyclooxygenase inhibitors and for surgical ligation was not significantly different between the 2 groups. No significant differences were seen in clinical outcomes and/or complications related to sPDA and/or pharmacological treatment. Conclusion: Individualized BNP-guided pharmacological treatment may be used clinically to avoid unnecessary doses of cyclooxygenase inhibitors without increasing the ductal closure failure and the short-term morbidity related to sPDA.

Background: This study was aimed at analyzing the preoperative conditions post-operative results indication and methods of surgical closure of patent ducturs arterio년 in prematures low birth weight infants and neonates. Patients and Methods: We retro-spectively studied two groups of patients (prematures group and neonates group) who underwent surgical closure of the patent ductus arteriosus between March 1995 and June 1998. Results: The premature group consisted of 9 patients(3 males and 6 females) Their mean gestational period was 30.7 weeks(ranging from 26 weeks to 33 weeks) mean age 27.8 days(11 days to 55 days) and mean body weight 1.56 kg. Prominent preoperative symptoms were dependency on mechanical ventilation generalized edema and hepatomegaly. We performed PDA ligation via thoracotomy in all premature patients. The neonate group consisted of 16 patients and their mean body weight was 3.75 kg. Major symptoms of this group was tachypnea and intercostal retraction resistant to medical treatment. We performed video-assisted PDA clipping to them all. There were no postoperative complications or operation-related mortality in both groups. Comparing the ratio of size of PDA(mm)/body weight(kg) the ratio of premature group (ligation through thoracotomy) was higher than that of neonate group ( video-assisted clipping) that is 3,89:1.21(p=0.03) Conclusion : We conclude that the surgical closure of PDA can be a safe method of treatment for prematures low birth weight infants and neonates with compromised general conditions. Choice of surgical technique depends on the surgeon's preference but there was a tend-ency to choose the ligation method through thoracotomy for patients with small body weight and large PDA.
