Despite developments in surgical techniques and other interventions, right ventricular (RV) failure remains an important clinical problem in several congenital heart diseases (CHD). RV function is one of the most important predictors of mortality and morbidity in patients with CHD. RV failure is a progressive disorder that begins with myocardial injury or stress, neurohormonal activation, cytokine activation, altered gene expression, and ventricular remodeling. Pressure-overload RV failure caused by RV outflow tract obstruction after total correction of tetralogy of Fallot, pulmonary stenosis, atrial switch operation for transposition of the great arteries, congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries, and systemic RV failure after the Fontan operation. Volume-overload RV failure may be caused by atrial septal defect, pulmonary regurgitation, or tricuspid regurgitation. Although the measurement of RV function is difficult because of many reasons, the right ventricle can be evaluated using both imaging and functional modalities. In clinical practice, echocardiography is the primary mode for the evaluation of RV structure and function. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging is increasingly used for evaluating RV structure and function. A comprehensive evaluation of RV function may lead to early and optimal management of RV failure in patients with CHD.

배경: 이 연구는 폐동맥 유출로 협착을 가진 다양한 복잡 심기형 환아에서 시행한 Lecompte 술식의 효과와 임상 적용에 관한 검증을 위한 것이다. 방법: 1988년 7월부터 1997년 12월까지 서울대학교 어린이 병원 흉부외과에서는 44명의 환아에 대하여 상기 술식을 시행하였다. 남녀비는 24대20이었으며 연령분포는 3개월에서 83개월까지로 평균 29.2개월이었다. 이 중, 심실 중격 결손과 폐동맥 협착(또는 폐쇄)을 동반한 대혈관 전위가 28명으로 가장 많았고(63.6%), 그 외 14명(31.8%)의 폐동맥 협착(또는 폐쇄)을 동반한 양 대혈관 우심실 기시 등이 있었다. 술식의 기본 원칙은 1)심실 중격 결손 부위의 확장 또는 누두부 중격 절제, 2)좌심실-대동맥 간의 심장내 도관 형성, 3)인공 심장외 도관을 사용하지 않는 폐동맥 간과 우심실의 직접 문합 등이었다. 결과: 대상 환자 중 3명에서 병원 내 사망이 있었으며 사인은 지속성 저산소증, 심근 부전, 패혈증으로 각각 판단되었다. 만기 사망 1명은 술 후 3개월에 패혈증에 의한 것이었다. 재수술은 6명에서 시행되었고, 폐동맥 유출로 협착 4명, 잔존한 근육성 심실 중격 결손 1명, 재발성 패혈성 식균증 1명 등이었다. Kaplan-Meier 법에 의한 누적 생존률은 1년, 2년, 4년 이후에 모두 92.7%였고, 재수술 없는 누적 생존률은 1년, 3년, 5년 이후에 각각 92.7%, 92.7%, 70.2%였다. 사망 위험 인자 분석 결과 대동맥 차단 시간이 통계적으로 의미가 있었고(p<0.05), 재발성 폐동맥 협착의 위험 인자인 연령, 폐동맥 지수, 유출로 재건에 사용된 재질 등은 모두 통계적으로 의미가 없었다(p>0.05). 결론: 이상의 연구에서 Lecompte 술식은 폐동맥 유출로 협착을 가진 다양한 복잡 심기형 환아에서 시행할 수 있는 효과적인 치료 술식이라는 결론을 얻었으며, 비교적 어린 나이에 완전 교정이 가능하고 사망률, 이환율 또한 수용 가능한 것으로 판단된다.

The term corrected transposition of great arteries [hereafter referred to as corrected TGA] of the heart in which there is both a discordant atrio-ventricular relationship and transposition of the great vessels. Usually situs solitus is present, while the ventricles are inverted showing an l -loop. The great vessels are transposed and in the l-position so that the pulmonary artery arises from the right-sided morphological left ventricle and the anteriorly l- transposed aorta arises from the left-sided morphological right ventricle yielding an SLL pattern. In the majority of cases, associated lesions are common. The most frequent are ventricular septal defect, obstruction to the pulmonary outflow tract, tricuspid valve incompetence and atrio-ventricular conduction abnormalities. In the rare cases, no associated conditions are present and hemodynamic pathways are normal. In the report, we present one case of a 20 year-old male having corrected TGA associated with severe tricuspid valve incompetence, was corrected by tricuspid valve replacement, directly developed a supra-ventricular tachycardia but was controlled by calcium-entry blocker, verapamil, successfully.

One hundred and one patients with tetralogy of Fallot who were older than 16 years of age underwent a total correction of the anomaly between May, 1964 and July, 1987. This group comprised 14.9% of the 679 consecutive patients who had repair of the tetralogy at our institution during the same period. Of the 101 patients, 8 had a previous shunt procedure for palliation. The preoperative mean hemoglobin value was 16.9*1.0% and the mean systemic oxygen saturation, 84.4*0.9%. In 76 patients[75.2%], a type II ventricular septal defect was seen whereas in 14 patients[13.9%], the defect was type I. In 72 patients[71.3%], other cardiac anomalies were present which included patent foramen ovale in 37.6%, atrial septal defect in 8.99b, vegetations in 6.9%, right sided aortic arch in 5.9% and coronary artery anomaly in 5.0%. The right ventricular outflow obstruction was caused most commonly by combination of infundibular and valvular stenosis[74.3%], followed by isolated infundibular stenosis[19.8%] and valvular stenosis [5.9%] alone in order. The preoperative mean diameter of the pulmonary valve ring size was 10.2*0.5 mm in diameter. A transannular patch enlargement of the right ventricular outflow tract was performed in 28 patients and, in 12 a pericardial monocusp was utilized. Major anomalous aorto-pulmonary vessels were encountered in 5 patients which were detected before or during the operation. In 3 patients, they were ligated beforehand to control the flooding of the operative field. Postoperatively, the mean systolic pressure gradient between the right ventricle and the main pulmonary artery was 16.2*2.3 mmHg and the mean systolic pressure- ratio between the right and the left ventricle was 45.3*2.0%. Perioperative complications including bleeding in 8.9%, pleural effusion in 7.9%, dysrrhythmia in 4.9%, and residual VSD in 4.0%. Operative mortality was 8.9%. There has been no operative death in the recent 65 cases since 1981. There were 2 late deaths, 68 and 113 months after surgery. There were 2 late detachment of the VSD patch during the follow-up period. Of the 6 patients with patch detachment found during the postoperative period, 3 had subacute bacterial endocarditis before or after the operation indicating The serious nature of this complication. Two of these patients subsequently underwent a successful reoperation.

Double outlet right ventricle (DORV) with pulmonary atresia (PA) is an uncommon congenital disease. Because of anatomical and physiological anomalies in the systemic and pulmonary circulation, corrective surgery may be challenging. We present the case of a patient with DORV and PA. This condition was successfully corrected using a modified Nikaidoh procedure, resulting in reduced obstruction of the left ventricular outflow tract.

A 13-year-old, Maltese dog presented with syncope and lethargy. Abdominal ultrasonography demonstrated anechoic peritoneal effusion and hepatic congestion. A focal echogenic round mass compressing the right ventricle and atrium was observed on echocardiography. Cardiac tamponade and right ventricular outflow tract obstruction occurred. On computed tomography, a homogeneous soft-tissue structure compressing the right chamber without contrast enhancement, suspected to be loculated pericardial effusion. During pericardiocentesis, cardiac tamponade was resolved, and irregular pericardial thickening was noted. Pericardial effusion was exudate and gram-positive bacterial colonies were observed on cytology. A diagnosis of fibrinous pericarditis secondary to bacterial infection was established.

Recently, surgical outcomes of repair of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) have improved. For patients with TOF older than 3 months, primary repair has been advocated regardless of symptoms. However, a surgical approach to symptomatic TOF in neonates or very young infants remains elusive. Traditionally, there have been two surgical options for these patients: primary repair versus an initial aortopulmonary shunt followed by repair. Early primary repair provides several advantages, including avoidance of shunt-related complications, early relief of hypoxia, promotion of normal lung development, avoidance of ventricular hypertrophy and fibrosis, and psychological comfort to the family. Because of advances in cardiopulmonary bypass techniques and accumulated experience in neonatal cardiac surgery, primary repair in neonates with TOF has been performed with excellent early outcomes (early mortality<5%), which may be superior to the outcomes of aortopulmonary shunting. A remaining question regarding surgical options is whether shunts can preserve the pulmonary valve annulus for TOF neonates with pulmonary stenosis. Symptomatic neonates and older infants have different anatomies of right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) obstructions, which in neonates are nearly always caused by a hypoplastic pulmonary valve annulus instead of infundibular obstruction. Therefore, a shunt is less likely to preserve the pulmonary valve annulus than is primary repair. Primary repair of TOF can be performed safely in most symptomatic neonates. Patients who have had primary repair should be closely followed up to evaluate the RVOT pathology and right ventricular function.
