Backgrounds/Aims: Patients who undergo pancreatic surgery with venous resection have high rates of morbidity/mortality. Also, they are high-risk for postoperative venous thromboembolism. Whether this group should be routinely anticoagulated is unknown. This study aimed to establish current anticoagulation practices. Methods: A survey (https://form.jotform.com/220242489107048) was sent out to pancreatic surgeons. Questions covered center volume, venous resection/reconstruction techniques and anticoagulation policies. Results: Sixty-five centers from 17 countries responded. Following a "side-bite" venous resection with a patch repair, 40% used an autologous vein patch, 27% used peritoneum, and 27% used a bovine patch. After formally resecting a segment of vein, 17% of centers used an interposition graft (IG). Left renal vein (41%) and polytetrafluoroethylene (73%) grafts were the most commonly used autologous and prosthetic IGs, respectively. Following a prosthetic IG, an autologous IG, and a "side-bite" resection, 59%, 28%, and 19% of centers provided therapeutic anticoagulation, respectively (66% used low molecular-weight heparin). The duration of therapy provided varied from inpatient stay only (14%) to six months (32%). Conclusions: Our global survey indicates that anticoagulation practices are highly variable. Centers do not agree on when to anticoagulate, how to anticoagulate, or the duration of therapy. A robust trial is required to provide clarity.

본 논문에서는 온칩 마이크로컨트롤러(MCU)와 명령어(instruction) ROM을 사용하는 NAND 플래시 메모리에서 제조 이후 잘못된 셀(cell) 어레이 구동 명령어들을 수정하는 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법은 작은 패치(patch) 명령어 RAM을 사용하며, MCU는 재구성 가능한 프로그램 카운터(PC) 대체 메커니즘을 통해 패치 명령어들을 가져와 수행한다. 패치 명령어들과 PC 대체를 위한 데이터는 특정 낸드 셀 영역에 저장되고, 전원이 켜질 때 전기적 퓨즈(fuse) 정보와 함께 로드된다. 제안하는 방법은 소수의 명령어 패치만 지원하기 때문에 면적 증가는 무시할 수 있을 만큼 매우 작다.

Pulmonary atresia with VSD is uncommon congenital anomaly with high mortality in neonatal period. Recently we experienced surgical correction of 2 cases of pulmonary atresia with VSD. The first case was 7-year old female patient and diagnosed as pulmonary atresia with VSD combined PDA. So, total correction was undertaken which consisted of PDA ligation, patch repair of VSD, transannular enlargement of RVOT with woven Dacron vascular graft, and closure of PFO. Postoperative systemic Rt. ventricular and radial artery pressure ratio was 0.44 and her postoperative course was uneventful. The second case was 6-year old male patient diagnosed as pulmonary atresia with VSD and large systemic-pulmonary collateral arteries. There were two large systemic-pulmonary collaterals, one was simply controlled by ligation, but the other was considered to supply Rt. upper lung. So end to side anastomosis was performed to the RVOT patch. Postoperative systolic Rt. ventricular and radial artery pressure ratio was 0.54. During the follow up period he showed clinical picture of Rt. heart failure, which is relatively well controlled with anticongestive therapy.

Seven infants less than age 3 months underwent patch aortoplasty and tube graft bypass for relief of coarctation of aorta. All had intractable congestive heart failure, despite aggressive medical therapy Each infant had other cardiac anomalies including patent ductus arteriosus, ventricular septal defect, atrial septal defect and congenital mitral stenosis. All patients underwent closure of the ductus arteriosus and patch angioplasty of the aorta to produce a luminal diameter of at least 15mm or tube graft interposition utilizing the Gortex tube graft diameter larger than 10mm. In 5 patients who had ventricular defect, they underwent pulmonary arterial banding. &ere was one hospital death 17 days after operation secondary to the hydronephrosis and renal failure. Hospitalization was less than 10 days after operation except one case. In 3 patients who had associated VSD, open heart surgery[VSD closure+PA debanding]was done without difficulty. Surgical repair of critical coarctation of the aorta in infants can safely be offered despite the poor preoperative condition and presence of other cardiac anomalies.

Double-outlet left ventricle with ventricular septal defect and pulmonary stenosis was conventionally repaired with extracardiac conduit or pulmonary artery translocation. Here, we report an anatomically repaired double-outlet left ventricle without extracardiac conduit or pulmonary artery translocation in an 11 month old patient who had undergone palliative systemic-pulmonary shunt at a nonatal period. The location of ventricular septal defect, both great arteries and coronary arteries made it possible to reconstruct the right ventricular outflow tract using on-lay patch after incision and undercutting the tissue between the ventriculotomy and the pulmonary arteriotomy.

승모판파 재치환술후 발생하는 판막주위 누출은 판륜 주위에 잔촌하는석회화나 약한 판륜조직에 의해서 발생한다. 이는 임상적으로 혈관내 용혈성 빈혈이나 혈역학적 인 변화를 야기하는데 서서히 나타나기 때문에 외래에서의 추적 관찰이 중요하다. 재치환한 판막의 구조적인 변화가 없고 비교적 적은 부위의 판막주위 누출이고 기존의 판륜이 약해져 있는 경우에는 새로이 판막을 치환하는 것보다 단순히 패취로 복구시 킬 수 있다.

하정맥동 결손(inferior sinus venosus defect)은 하대정맥과 우심방의 경계 부위에 발생하는 심방중격결손의 한 형태로 매우 드문 선천성 심장질환이며, 심방중격의 하부 뒤쪽에 위치하고 한 개 이상의 우 폐정맥의 환류 이상을 동반하고 있어 개심술시 정확한 교정을 요하므로 수술 전 또는 수술 중 정확한 해부학적 진단이 선행되어야 한다. 저자들은 부분 폐정맥 환류이상을 동반한 하정맥동형 심방중격결손 4예를 치험하였다. 1예는 25세 성인이었고 3예는 14개월 미만의 영아 및 소아였다. 4예 모두 심부전 때문에 수술했으며 이중 4개월의 영아는 긴급 수술이 필요했다. 진단을 위해 심초음파 및 도플러 검사와 심도자법을 시행하였다. 수술전 확진은 1예에서 가능했고 3예는 수술전 병변을 의심하고 수술시 확진되었다. 수술방법으로 이상 환류되는 폐정맥이 좌심방으로 환류 되도록 자가심막을 이용하여 심방중격결손을 폐쇄하였다. 4예 모두 수술 결과는 양호하였으며 초음파 검사의 추적에서 하대정맥과 폐정맥의 환류장애 소견은 없었다. 정확한 수술 교정을 위해 수술전 정확한 진단이 필수적이며, 수술전 폐정맥의 부분 환류이상과 심방중격 결손으로 진단된 환자에서는 수술중 하정맥동 결손의 여부를 확인하여 적절한 수술적 교정을 시행해야 할 것으로 사료된다.

Background: Pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum(PA/IVS) is an anatomically heterogenous anomaly with a variety of surgical strategies possible. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the influence of right ventricular size on the early and midterm results of surgical repair of PA/IVS. Material and method: Medical records of 20 consecutive patients with PA/IVS operated on between January 1993 and August 1999 were retrospectively reviewed. There were 12 boys and 8 girls whose ages ranged from 2 days to 14.5 months (median 6 days). Their body weight ranged from 2.52kg to 9.35 kg(median 3.18kg). The preoperative Z-value of the diameter of the tricuspid valve(T-valve) was less than or -4 in 5 patients, between -4 and -2 in 1, between -2 and 0 in 7, between 0 and 2 in 6, and greater than or 2 in 1. All patients who had z-value of tricuspid valve greater than -2.05 were attempted biventricular repair(n=15) and all patients who had it smaller than -4.4 underwent systemic-pulmonary shunt operation only(n=3) or bidirectinal cavopulmonary shunt with right ventricular reconstruction(n=2). Result: Two early deaths(2/20, 10%) occurred. Both were infants who underwent transannular patch with shunt. One of these two had huge right ventricle(Z-value of tricuspid valve = 5). There were 2 late non-cardiac deaths 3 and 7 months after operations respectively. Follow-up was completed in all children at a mean of 35.3 months(range, 5 to 54 months). 10 of 11 survivors who underwent transannular patch or valvotomy with or without shunt procedure were in NYHA functional class I even though some of them had small interatrial communication or patent shunt. All three patients who had shunt procedure only at initial palliation completed Fontan procedures with no death. Two patients who underwent right ventricular outflow reconstruction with bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt were also in good condition. Conclusion: The transanular RVOT patch or valvotomy with or without systemic-pumonary shunt as an initial palliative procedure to achieve biventricular repair for the patients who had neither too small nor too large right ventricle(-2.05$\leq$Z-value of T-value of T-valve$\leq$2) could be performed at low operative risk(1/14 7.1%). Systemic-pulmonary shunt procedure and bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt procedure for the patients who had small right ventricle(Z-value of T-valve$\leq$4.4) could be also performed with low risk. But a patient with huge right atrium and ventricle(Z-value of t-valve=5) had poor operative result.

Background: Robot-assisted repair of atrial septal defect (ASD) can be performed under either beating-heart or non-beating-heart conditions. However, the risk of cerebral air embolism (i.e., stroke) is a concern in the beating-heart approach. This study aimed to compare the outcomes of beating- and non-beating-heart approaches in robot-assisted ASD repair. Methods: From 2010 to 2019, a total of 45 patients (mean age, 43.4±14.6 years; range, 19-79 years) underwent ASD repair using the da Vinci robotic surgical system. Twenty-seven of these cases were performed on a beating heart (beating-heart group, n=27) and the other cases were performed on an arrested or fibrillating heart (non-beating-heart group, n=18). Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) was achieved via cannulation of the femoral vessels and the right internal jugular vein in all patients. Results: Complete ASD closure was verified using intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography in all patients. Conversion to open surgery was not performed in any cases, and there were no major complications. All patients recovered from anesthesia without any immediate postoperative neurologic symptoms. In a subgroup analysis of isolated ASD patch repair (beating-heart group: n=22 vs. non-beating-heart group: n=5), the operation time and CPB time were shorter in the beating-heart group (234±38 vs. 253±29 minutes, p=0.133 and 113±28 vs. 143±29 minutes, p=0.034, respectively). Conclusion: Robot-assisted ASD repair can be safely performed with the beating-heart approach. No additional risk in terms of cerebral embolism was found in the beating-heart group.
