소아의 우심실-폐동맥 연결에 이용되는 판막 도관에는 여러가지가 있다. 현재까지 동종이식편(homograft) 판막도관이 가장 이상적인 것으로 알려져 있으나 유아에서는 크기 및 공급에 제한점이 있다. 최근에는 다양한 크기의 이종이식편(xenograft) 판막도관이 상업적으로 이용 가능하여 하나의 대안으로 여겨지지만 이 역시 많은 문제점을 가지고 있다. 선천성 대동맥판 협착증으로 Ross 수술을 시행한 2예에서 우심실 유출로 도관으로 이용한 $Shelhigh^{(R)}$ porcine-valved conduit (SPVC)에 심한 가성내막껍질형성(Pseudointimal peel formation)으로 조기에 도관 교환이 필요했기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

세균성 심내막염에 의한 대동맥판 폐쇄부전의 수술치료에 있어서, 우수한 혈역학적 기능과 염증에 대한 높은 저항력 때문에 동종대동맥판을 사용한 수술이 우선적으로 고려되고 있다. 수술방법중에서 대동 맥근부 치환술이 관상동맥하 부착법에 비하여 술 후 대동맥관 폐쇄부전이 적게 발생하는 장점을 갖는다. 46세의 남자가 세균성 심내막염에 의한 급성 대동백판 폐쇄부전 및 심부전으로 내원하였다. 내과적 치료에 반응하지 않고 심부전이 점차 심해져서 20 m동종대동맥편을 이용한 대동맥근부 치환수술을 응급으로 시행하였다. 수술소견상 우관상판첨에 구멍이 나 있었고 좌, 우관상판첨사이의 교련에 심한 석회화가 있었다. 수술후 환자는 순조로이 회복되었고 심초음파검사상 이식된 동종동맥 판의 폐쇄부전소견 은 발견되지 않았다. 염증소견들도 술 후 8주간의 항생제투여로 소실되었다. 약물치료로 조절되지 않는 세균성 심내막염에 의한 급성 대동맥판 폐쇄부전을 동종동맥 판을 사용한 대동맥근부 치환수술로써 성 공적으로 치료하였다.

Background: Homograft cardiac valves and valved-conduits have been available in our institute since 1992. We sought to determine the long-term outcome after right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) reconstruction using homografts, and risk factors for reoperation were analyzed. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 112 patients who had undergone repair using 116 homografts between 1992 and 2008. Median age and body weight at operation were 31.2 months and 12.2 kg, respectively. The diagnoses were pulmonary atresia or stenosis with ventricular septal defect (n=93), congenital aortic valve diseases (n=15), and truncus arteriosus (N=8). Mean follow-up duration was $79.2{\pm}14.8$ months. Results: There were 10 early and 4 late deaths. Overall survival rate was 89.6%, 88.7%, 86.1% at postoperative 1 year, 5 years and 10 years, respectively. Body weight at operation, cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time and aortic cross-clamping (ACC) time were identified as risk factors for death. Forty-three reoperations were performed in thirty-nine patients. Freedom from reoperation was 97.0%, 77.8%, 35.0% at postoperative 1 year, 5 years and 10 years respectively. Small-sized graft was identified as a risk factor for reoperation. Conclusion: Although long-term survival after RVOT reconstruction with homografts was excellent, freedom from reoperation was unsatisfactory, especially in patients who had small grafts upon initial repair. Thus, alternative surgical strategies not using small grafts may need to be considered in this subset.

Heterotopic abdominal homograft of canine heart was carried out in 20 pairs of dogs. Of these 12 cases were subjected as a control and 8 were subjected to immunosuppressive group. The dosage of immunosuppressive agent was 5mg/kg/day of Imuran [Azathioprine] for 3 days preoperatively, 10mg/kg on operative day and 5mg/kg/day postoperatively. For reducing the metabolic demand, the donor heart was preserved in 4degree heparinized saline solution for approximately I4 minutes. In the most of the cases, transplantation was performed with the technique of end-to-side aorto-aortic anastomosis and end-to-side pulmonary artery-inferior vena cava anastomosis at the infrarenal portion. Five out of 20 grafted dogs were survived more than one day. The longest survived 18 days in the control group and survive more than 60 days in the treated group. The survival cases were 3 out of 8[37. 5%] in the group of dogs treated with lmuran and 2`out of 12 [16.6%] in the group of non-treated. A prominent gross findings of the grafted heart was a minimal to moderate degree of dilatation of the heart with or without thrombosis in the cardiac chambers and/or anastomotic site. The case number 10, 15, and 19 showed moderate hypertrophy in grossly. The microscopic findings were as follows; 1. There were early hypersensitive histologic reactions such as interstitial edema, cellular infiltrations and early degenerative changes in the myocardium in the cases of 3 hour survival. 2. In the cases of more than 6 hours survival, organizing thrombosis of myocardial vessels, vasculitis,myocardial necrosis and lymphocyte, plasma cell, round cell infiltrations were noted. In the cases of more than 12 hours survival, the degree of these histologic changes especially in the non-treated group were more intensified than in the treated. 3. In the cases which survived more than one day, so called homograft specific histologic changes were milder in the immunosuppressive group compared with the control. 4. All the host hearts showed no evidence of pathologic findings histologically. Among the homologous canine cardiac transplantation tissue reaction, was milder and suvival time longer in the group treated with immunosuppressive drug.

Leriche syndrome ia a common entity which causes ischemia of the lower extremities. Since the introduction of aortic resection and homograft replacement by Oudot in 1951, reconstructive procedures to restore distal blood flow by either endarterectomy or, later, with prosthetic graft have become standardized. Recently we experienced a case of Leriche syndrome. A 50 year-old male patient admitted with intermittent claudication, impotence, and symmetrical atrophy at lower extremities. Aortogram revealed complete obstruction at infrarenal abdominal aorta and Doppler sonogram revealed only minimal blood flow at left femoral artery.Successful surgical treatment was accomplished with endarterectomy at proximal left renal artery and a bypass from abdominal aorta at the level of both renal arteries to both external iliac arteries with bifurcated Gore-tex vascular graft. After bypass operation, we did palpate with arterial pulse at both popliteal artery.He was recovered without complication.

배경: 폐동맥 판막 협착 혹은 형성 부전에 대한 수술적 치료로서 다양한 종류의 우심실-폐동맥간 도관들이 사용되었다. 이 논문에서는 한 센터에서 시행되어 왔던 우심실-폐동맥간 도관 이식술에 사용된 각종 도관들의 수술 성적을 비교 분석하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1986년 6월부터 2006년 7월까지 245명의 환자(남 : 여=135 : 110)에게 시행된 410건의 우심실-폐동맥간 도관 이식술의 수술 결과를 후향적인 방법으로 분석하였다. 환자의 수술 당시의 나이는 재수술 및 그 이후의 수술을 모두 포함하여 $3.2{\pm}4.9$세(7일$\sim$45세)였으며, 수술 당시의 체중은 $12.5{\pm}8.7\;kg$ ($2.4{\sim}76.3\;kg$)이었다. 환자의 진단은 폐동맥 판막 형성 부전 혹은 협착, 완전 대혈관 전위, 양대혈관 우심실 기시증, 수정형 대혈관 전위, 총동맥간증, 폐동맥 판막 형성부전 증후군, 좌심실 유출로 협착을 동반한 대동맥궁 단절증 등이었다. 결과: 수술 시 사용된 도관은 Polystan valved conduit, Shelhigh, Carpentier Edward valved conduit, Dacron 도관에 인공 판막을 넣어 제작한 도관, 판막을 포함하지 않은 Gore Tex vascular graft, 동종 이식편, hand made conduit 등이었다. 환자들의 평균 추적 관찰 기간은 $6.3{\pm}5.2$년이었다. 수술 사망은 5.3% (13명)였으며, 만기 사망은 3.6% (9명)이었다. 환자들 중 131명에게서 재수술이 이루어졌으며, 31명에서 세 차례, 3명에서 네 차례의 수술이 행해졌다. 재수술로부터의 자유도는 5년, 10년, 15년에 각각 67.3%, 48.5%, 38.4%였다. 수술 시 사용된 도관의 종류별 성적을 비교하였을 때 동종 이식편의 성적이 가장 좋았으며, 그 다음으로 Dacron 도관에 인공 판막을 넣어 제작한 도관, Carpentier Edward valved conduit이 각각 좋은 성적을 보였다(p-value=0.031). 도관의 크기별 성적을 비교하였을 때 크기가 클수록 재수술율이 낮음을 보였다(p-value<0.001). 결론: 다양한 종류의 도관들이 개발, 사용되어 왔지만, 동종 이식편이 가장 좋은 내구성을 보였으며, 크기가 큰 도관일수록 오래 사용할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 우심실 폐동맥간 도관의 5년 재수술율은 35%에 달하여, 내구성이 뛰어난 새로운 도관의 개발이 절실하다고 할 수 있다.

Background: Cardiac involvement of Behcets disease is very rate, however, the prognosis of Behcet disease depends on cardiovascular complications. In this article, we described surgical treatment of aortic insufficiency with Behcets disease. Material and Method: From March 1986 to February 1998, we operated on 10 patients of aortic insufficiency with Behcets disease. Male to female ratio was 8 to 2, and age ranged from 21 to 40 years(mean 32.8 years). There were 8 patients with evidence of Behcets disease and another 2 patients had some suspicious findings of Behcets disease(i.e., prosthetic value dehiscence, hypertrophied aortic wall). Adequate preoperative medical treatment for Behcets disease was done in 3 patients. Result: We performed 24 open heart surgeries in 10 patients. Redo value replacements using prosthetic valves were done in 4 patients. Among them, 2 patients were operated on for a second redo valve replacement and one of them operated on for a 4th and 5th operation because of recurrent paravalvular leakage. These 4 patients expired. 1 patient who had undergons tissue value replacement is alive. 1 patient who underwent Cabrol operation expired dut to rupture of graft anastomosis site. We used homografts in 3 patients. In 2 of them, we performed aortic root replacement and subcoronary valve replacement in another patient. The patient who underwent subcoronary valve insertion had remnant aortic insufficiency, so we are closely observing him. We also performed Ross operation in a 24 year old female who suffered severs aortic insufficiency and endocarditis after aortic valvuloplasty. 5 patients are alive and mean follow up duration is 49.0 months. Among them, we used homografts or sutografts in 4 patients. We could observe excellent clinical results in the patients who underwent aortic root replacement using homograft and they were treated medically for Behcets disease. Conclusion: We concluded that adequate preporative diagnosis, clinical suspicion, and periopertive medical treatment for Behcets disease are very important for the result of surgical management of aortic insufficiency with Behcets disease. The use of homograft or autograft was helpful for the healing of anastomosis site and we should carefully observe the long term follow up results.

Patients with double-inlet left ventricle usually have a small ascending aorta. In the Norwood procedure, which involves a staged operation, a neoaorta is constructed with a homograft, and the pulmonary artery plays a role in the systemic circulation. Dilatation or aneurysmal changes can occur over time due to the exposure of the neoaorta to systemic pressure, which may induce adverse effects on adj acent structures. We report a rare case of surgical repair for neoaortic root dilataiton with aortic regurgitation, compressing the left pulmohary artery, in a patient who underwent the Norwood procedure.
