난원공개존증은 정상 성인에서 흔히 발견된다. 그러나, 임상에서 난원공개존증에 의한 기이색전증은 드물다. 심장 초음파를 이용한 이전 연구에 따르면, 기이색전증은 큰 직경이며, 유스타키오관이 동반되고, 좌우 심방의 압력차가 큰 난원공개존증에서 주로 발생하였다. 저자들은 기이색전증이 발생한 난원공개존증 환자 1예의 특징적인 CT 소견을 제시한다.

Interruption of the aortic arch may be defined as discontinuity of the aortic arch in which either an aortic vessel or a patent ductus arteriosus supplies the descending aorta. This anomaly is a rare congenital malformation that usually occurs with severe associated intracardiac congenital anomalies, such as ventricular septal defect, patent foramen ovale and abnormal arrangement of the brachiocephalic arteries. Rarely, transposition of the great vessel, truncus arteriosus are coexistent. We experienced a case of the interrupted aortic arch [Type A] associated with VSD, PDA and patent foramen ovale in a 16 years old female. One stage total correction was done under profound hypothermia with total circulatory arrest. Aortic continuity was established using patent ductus arteriosus with anterior wall of main pulmonary artery, which was anastomosed obliquely to anteromedial side of the ascending aorta. Ventricular septal defect was closed using Dacron patch and patent foramen ovale was closed directly. Postoperative course was uneventful, except mild hoarseness.

Percutaneous patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure in patients with a prior PFO-associated stroke showed a risk reduction of the stroke recurrence compared to the medical therapy alone in recent several studies. Nevertheless, optimal patient selection for PFO closure has not been clarified. In this paper, we discuss the characteristics of PFO-associated strokes and discuss the recently published evidence and patient selection for PFO closure in patients with ischemic stroke. The lesions characteristics of PFO-associated stroke are associated with multiple scattered lesion, small sized cerebral cortical lesion, or posterior circulation. Overcoming the failure of early studies in CLOSURE I, PC, and RESPECT trials, PFO closure showed a significant reduction in recurrent stroke in recently published REDUCE, CLOSE, DEFENSEPRO trials, and long-term follow-up data of RESPECT study. However, considering that PFO closure cannot completely prevent stroke recurrence and that complications including atrial fibrillation, we should be selectively performed in patients with high-risk PFO.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of integrative treatment with conventional and Korean medicine on cerebral infarction due to presumed paradoxical embolism through a patent foramen ovale. Methods: We applied acupuncture, herbal medication, western medication, and physical therapy routinely every day and applied fluid therapy provided as needed. The NIHSS, K-MBI, MRS, MMT, and MMSE-K score were determined to assess any improvement in symptoms. Results: Scores appeared to be improved for the NIHSS (9 to 5), K-MBI (94 to 100), MRS (2 to 1), MMT (2+, 4 to 4, 4), MMSE-K (24 to 26). No side effects were observed during the treatment. Conclusions: This study demonstrates that integrative treatment with conventional and Korean medicine may be an effective option for treating cerebral infarction due to a presumed paradoxical embolism through a patent foramen ovale.

Congenitally corrected transposition of great arteries is a rare congenital heart anomaly. We experienced two case of corrected transposition of great arteries, one [S,L,L] and one [I, D,D] associated with patent foramen ovale, ventricular septal defect and pulmonary stenosis. The patent foramen ovales were closed directly under right atriotomy, the ventricular septal defects were closed with Dacron patch under morphological left ventriculotomy and the pulmonary valvular and subvalvular stenosis were corrected under pulmonary arteriotomy. The postoperatively course was uneventful in case I, the permanent pacemaker was implanted in case ll.

12연령의 암컷 잡종개 (체중 6.2 kg)가 심한 복부 팽만, 지속적 기침 그리고 운동 불내성을 주증으로 진료 의뢰 되었다. 진단상에 복수, 경정맥 노장, 심한 좌우 심첨부 수축기 잡음 (4/6 단계), 후대정맥 확장을 동반한 전반적 심비대와 좌심방 확장이 관찰되었다. 심장 초음파에서는 퇴행성 이첨판막 그리고 삼첨판막 심내막증과 양심실성 울혈성 심부전이 관찰되었다. 좌우단락의 난원공 개존증 또한 있었다. 좌심실 수축능은 용적 과부하의 정도와 관계되어 떨어져 있었다. 진단적 결과에 기초하여, 본 증례는 ISACHC IIIa 심부전의 이첨판막과 삼첨판막 심내막증이 합병된 난원공 개존증으로 진단되었다. 이 개는 푸로세마이드 (2 mg/kg, q12hr, PO), 피모벤단 (0.3 mg/kg, q12hr, PO)와 스피로노락톤 (1 mg/kg, q12hr)으로 치료되었다. 임상 증상들은 약물 치료 후에 점차적으로 개선되었다.

2개월령 수컷 핏불테리어종 개 (체중 1.01 kg)가 심한 복부 팽만, 운동 불내성, 성장 지연, 노란 비루와 식욕부진을 주증으로 진료 의뢰 되었다. 영상 진단상에 비정상적인 막으로 분할된 확대된 우심방, 심한 수축기 폐동맥 제트 혈류 (최고혈류 5.66 m/s) 그리고 심방 중격에서의 우좌 단락혈류가 관찰되었다. 임상증상 및 진단학적 결과에 기초하여, 본 증례는 심한 폐동맥 협착과 우좌 단락의 난원공 개존증이 합병된 우측 삼중심방증으로 진단 되었다. 비안정적인 환자의 상태 때문에 수술적 혹은 중재적 치료는 시도되지 않았다. 그 개는 수혈, 산소공급 그리고 심장 관련 약물적 치료(예, 실데나필, 스피로노락톤, 에날라프릴)로 회복되었다.

The prevalence of patent foramen ovale (PFO) in healthy persons was estimated as about $10{\sim}25%$ and was up to 40% in patients with stroke. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) was considered to be the most sensitive method to detect PFO and was used as the gold standard. Transcranial doppler sonography (TCD) of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) during a contrast (saline bubble) injection has recently been proposed as an alternative detecting method for PFO. In this study, we would like to know the difference between TCD value and TEE value in subjects with cryptogenic ischemic stroke. We performed TCD and TEE tests to detect PFO on 64 patients (30 women and 34 men, mean age was 59.4 years) with cryptogenic ischemic stroke. PFO prevalence through TCD was 45.3% (29 of 64 patients) and the prevalence through TEE was 34.4% (22 of 64 patients). There was no statistical significance between PFO test and TCD test (P=0.206). But TCD had a sensitivity of 90.9% (20 of 22 patients), specificity of 78.6% (33 of 42 patients), positive predictive value of 69.0% (20 of 29 patients), and negative predictive value of 94.3% (33 of 35 patients). We concluded that TCD was a highly sensitive method for detecting a right-left shunt. Therefore, the non-invasive TCD test is a method more effective than the anti-invasive TEE test in the cost and evaluation of the existence or nonexistence of right to left shunt in addition to the screening method of the cerebrovascular disorder. Considering these points, TCD test could be recommended for patients with cryptogenic ischemic stroke as a useful and convenient method for screening of the existence or nonexistence of a right to left shunt caused by PFO.
