중등도 이상의 좌심기능부전 환자에서 승모판성형술

Abstract: 배경: 좌심실 기능부전은 판막수술 후 조기사망 및 장기 생존에 영향을 미치는 중요한 요인의 하나이다. 중등도 이상의 심기능부전 환자에서의 승모판막성형술의 중기 결과에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1995년 4월부터 2001년 7월까지 좌심실 구혈률이 45% 이하의 심기능부전 환자에서 승모판막성형술을 받은 ...

A successful primary percutaneous coronary intervention twelve days after a cabrol composite graft operation in marfan syndrome.

Abstract: The Cabrol procedure is one of several techniques used for re-implantation of a coronary artery. After replacement of the ascending aorta and aortic valve using a composite graft, second Dacron tube grafts are used for anastomosis between the ascending aortic graft and the coronary arteries. Ostial stenosis is one of the complications associated with the Cabrol operation. However, there have been no reported cases of acute thrombosis of a Cabrol graft. Here we report a case with acute ST elevation myocardial infarction due to thrombotic total occlusion of a right Cabrol graft-to-right coronary artery (RCA) twelve days after surgery in a patient with Marfan syndrome. He was successfully treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Outcomes of Mitral Valve Repair: Quadrangular Resection versus Chordal Replacement.

Abstract: Background: Mitral valve repair for posterior mitral leaflet (PML) prolapse has been considered to be a standard treatment because of its high success rate and high level of patient satisfaction. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical results of two different techniques of PML prolapse, quadrangular resection (QR) and chordal replacement (CR). Materials and Methods: The subjects consisted of 56 patients who had undergone mitral valve repair for PML prolapse between November 1997 and December 2010. The patients were divided into two groups according to surgical technique. Among them, 31 patients underwent QR (group QR) and 25 patients had CR (group CR). We reviewed the medical records of the patients retrospectively to compare the clinical outcomes of both groups. Results: After mitral valve repair, the degree of mitral regurgitation (MR) in both groups decreased to the to a mild degree or less and the amount of remnant MR was slightly higher in the CR group but it was not statistically different. Three patients received mitral valve-related reoperation (2 in the QR group and 1 in the CR group). Freedom from mitral valve-related reoperation at 7 years was 93% for the QR group and 96% for the CR group and was not significantly different between the two groups. Conclusion: Both QR and CR showed excellent long-term results and were considered equally effective methods for PML prolapse.

Right Ventricle Exclusion in Severe Neonatal Ebstein's Anomaly

Abstract: A one-day-old baby was transferred for cyanosis and heart murmur. Echocardiographic evaluation revealed that he had severe neonatal Ebstein’s anomaly (Carpentier type C), pulmonary atresia, and pulmonary circulation via patent ductus arteriosus. Because the wall of the atrialized right ventricle was very thin, showed decreased contractility, and the small right ventricle showed pulmonary atresia, we decided that a two-ventricular repair was impossible. When the patient was one-month-old, he underwent right atrium reduction-plasty, a right ventricular exclusion procedure (including atrialized right ventricle resection and functional right ventricle plication), and right modified Blalock-Taussig shunt. He was discharged without specific problems. He received a bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt successfully at 4 months later.
