Ninety patients underwent mitral valvular heart surgery associated with or without aortic valve surgery and subjected to a clinical study in relation to their control of postoperative atrial fibrillation. There were 26 males and 64 females ranged in age from 16 to 56 years with a mean of 35.2 years. Systemic arterial embolizations were observed in 11 patients [12.2%]. Four patients of them were in normal sinus rhythm and 7 in atrial fibrillation. Out of these, left atrial thrombi were found only in 2 at the operation. Intraoperatively confirmed left atrial thrombi were in 16 patients [17.7%] of all 90 patients: Eleven patients occurred at the age of more than 40 years, 14 were in atrial fibrillation and 2 only had previous episodes of systemic arterial embolization. Sixty three patients underwent isolated mitral valve surgery [OMC 28, MVR 35] and 27 patients associated with aortic valve surgery along with mitral valve [OMC+AVR 13, MVR+AVR 14]. Preoperatively, 44 patients [48.9%] were in normal sinus rhythm. Of them, 35 patients [79.5%] revealed normal sinus rhythm thoroughly after operation without any aid of digitalis or quinidine and 5 patients [11.4%] restored normal sinus rhythm with digitalization alone. Other 3 patients converted to normal sinus rhythm with the addition of quinidine, however, in 1 patient who was resistant to quinidine therapy, electrocardioversion was carried out on the postoperative third week showing normal sinus rhythm. Thus, the most atrial fibrillations that occurred for the first time in the postoperative period, were able to reverted to normal sinus rhythm responding well to antiarrhythmic therapy. Preoperatively, 46 patients [51.1%] were in atrial fibrillation. Of them, only 5 patients returned to sinus rhythm after operation without any aid of digitalis or quinidine and other 5 restored normal sinus rhythm with digitalization: namely 2 restored within early postoperative period and 3 after more than 3 months. Eight patients well responded to quinidine therapy showing normal Sinus rhythm. So far, 25 patients have remained in persistent atrial fibrillation on 6 to 36 months follow-up. In view of these, 17 patients [68%] were over 40 years of age, 22[80%] had long duration of symptom over 5 years and 10[40%] have had atrial thrombi before operation. Left atrial dimension were still more than 40mm in 21 patients on follow up M-mode echocardiogram. One month after operation, 87 hospital survivors were improved by at least one functional NYHA class. There were 3 operative deaths [3.3%, bleeding 1, LCOS 2] and 4 late deaths [LCOS 1, valve thrombosis 1, late bleeding 1, fulminant hepatitis 1] during follow-up period. According to our limited experience, we may conclude that better results will be expected with the addition of quinidine therapy judiciously in the cases of postoperative persistent atrial fibrillation who were aged or had longer history of symptom and left atrial thrombi.

The authors evaluated 200 cases of primary carcinoma of lung in terms of the cell type, operability, resectability and survival rate, that proved by histopathologic examination at the Dept. of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Catholic Medical College during the period of 11 years from Jan., 1977 to Dec., 1987. The results are as follows; 1] The peak incidence was observed in the 7th decade of life [34%] and followed by 6th [30%] 8 5th decade [25%]. Male to female ratio was 3.4:1. 2] Histopathologic classifications were squamous cell carcinoma 48% [96 cases], adenocarcinoma 27% [34 cases], small cell carcinoma 13%[26 cases], ;bronchioloalveolar cell carcinoma 5% [10 cases], large cell carcinoma 4.5% [9 cases], adenosquamous cell carcinoma 1.5% [3 cases] and adenoalveolar cell carcinoma 0.5% [1 case]. 3] Among 200 cases of primary lung cancer, the operability was 47.5% [95 cases], refusal of operation 6.0% [12 cases] and inoperability 46.5% [93 cases]. 4] Ninety five cases [47.5%] were operated. Of these, post-surgical stage I was 18.9% [18 cases], stage II 24.2% [23 cases] and stage III 56.8% [54 cases]. Among 54 cases of stage III, 32 cases were unresectable, while 22 cases were resectable. Consequently, the resectability was 31.5% [63 cases] from the total numbers of 200 cases, and the resectability for the operable 95 cases was 66.3% [63 cases]. 5] Surgical complications were empyema with bronchopleural fistula [4 cases], G-I bleeding [1 case], tedious pleural effusion [1 case] and acute respiratory insufficiency [1 case]. Operative mortality was 3.2% [2 cases], which caused by massive G-I bleeding [1 case] and respiratory insufficiency [1 case]. 6] On the long term follow-up of resectable 63 cases, overall 3 year survival rate was 35%, 5 year 22% and 9 year 2%. Five year survival rate was 39% in stage l, 30% in stage II and 0% in stage III. As for the cell types, the higher 5 year survival rate was observed in resectable squamous cell carcinoma [35%] as compared to adenocarcinoma [15%], alveolar cell carcinoma [14%], small cell carcinoma [0%] and large cell carcinoma [0%].

From 1982 to 1987, six patients underwent left ventricular aneurysmectomy with concomitant myocardial revascularization. Simultaneous repair of postinfarction ventricular septal defect was performed in 3 patients and left ventricular thrombectomy in two. There was no hospital mortality and late mortality during 220 months* follow up period-.[Mean 36.7 months, range 13 to 72 months] Their condition was improved in all. They live in physical condition of NYHA class I-II. We believe early surgical intervention can be life-saving, and can be done without undue surgical risk, even in cases of postinfarction VSD and LV aneurysm with failing heart.

Malignant hyperthermia has been reported by many authors since Denborough [1960] first described concerning anesthetic death in a family. Malignant hyperthermia is characterized by a hypermetabolic state [tachycardia, tachypnea, hypercarbia, hypoxia, cyanosis, hypotension, high fever and muscle rigidity] and is related to a hereditary defect of skeletal muscle. In susceptible individuals, it is triggered by potent inhalational anesthetics, depolarizing muscle relaxant [Succinylcholine], amide type local anesthetics [prototype lidocaine] and occasionally by stress due to emotional and environmental factors. Unrecognized and untreated malignant hyperthermia is associated with a very high mortality rate. Recently authors have experienced malignant hyperthermia in 5 year old male child who was diagnosed to have patent ductus arteriosus and interatrial septal defect associated with congenital physical deformities such as short stature, hypotrophic muscles and genu valgus deformity of lower extremity, indirect inguinal hernia and Ramphant caries.

Most patients having annuloaortic ectasia are associated with marked dilatation of the sinuses of Valsalva and the aortic annulus as well as the huge aneurysm of the ascending aorta. A 19 year old male patient complaining of tightness on left posterior chest wall underwent cardiac angiography in which demonstrated annuloaortic ectasia with ascending aortic aneurysm and aortic insufficiency. The patient had corrective operation replacing the ascending aorta and aortic valve with a composite graft[Dacron prosthesis containing a Bjork-Shiley aortic valve] within the aneurysmal sac. The coronary orifices were anastomosed to the tubular Dacron prosthesis [30 mm in diameter] by means of a second smaller Gore-Tex tube [8mm in diameter]. The aneurysmal sac was trimmed by removing the redundant wall and then wrapped outer wall of the Dacron prosthesis. Postoperatively, mediastinal bleeding was temporarily observed in the operative day and satisfactory blood pressure was maintained with small dose of dopamine. One week later, large amount of serous effusion was drained out of the retrosternal space making partial disruption of the skin which was healed well by daily local dressing. The patient discharged in good condition on postoperative 29th day with no residual complications and is doing very well on the 4 months follow-up.

We observed 56 cases of nontraumatic pneumothorax clinically and statistically, which had been experienced at the deparment of chest surgery. St. Mary`s Hospital,Catholic Medical College in theserecent years. 1] In the underlying pathology of spontaneous pneumothorax, nontuberculous origin [60.7%], especially due to pulmonary emphysema or blebs[17.8%], especially due to pulmonary emphysema or blebs[17. 8%], tended to increase as the reports of foreign countries, but tuberculous origin was still high in our country[39.3%]. Considering the 14 cases, unknown underlying pathology, the most of them might have scattered blebs which were not revealed in chest Roentgen films. 2] The principle treatment done in our clinic was as follows; The patients, below 20% lung collapse were treated by bed rest and abdominal respiration. The patients, between 20% and 40% lung collapse were treated by repeated pleural aspiration or closed thoracotomy followed. The cases,over 40% lung collapse were treated by closed thoracotomy initially. 3] The average duration of indweIling catheter was 3 to 4 days in the closed thoracotomy. We used to not remove the indwelling catheter early to promote pleural adhesion. 4] Sometimes, the closed thoracotomy drainage induces bronchial irritation and asthmatic attacks, especially in old age group accompanying pulmonary emphysema. In these cases, respiratory difficulties and acidosis should be prevented and controlled with medical treatment including steroid therapy.

From Nov. 1987 to Aug. 1989, 12 patients with coronary occlusive disease underwent coronary bypass surgery at the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Catholic University Medical College. The results were as follows: 1. There were 9 males and 3 females ranged in age from 25 to 69 years with a mean of 50.4 years. 2. The prevalent locations of coronary artery stenosis were left anterior descending branch [9 cases], right coronary artery[4 cases], first diagonal branch[3 cases], left circumflex artery [2 cases] in order of frequency. 3, Among 12 cases, 5 cases had an episode of previous myocardial infarction respectively. 4. We performed triple bypass operation in 3 cases, double bypass in 2 cases and single bypass in 7 cases using great saphenous vein. 5. Postoperative complications were cerebral embolism[1, died], pleural effusion[1], temporary cardiac arrest[1], supraventricular tachycardia[1] and late gastric ulcer bleeding[1]. 6. The follow up periods were ranged from 8 months to 30 months and all survivors were on antiplatelet medication showing free of angina.

The syndrome of anomalous muscle bundle dividing the right ventricle into two pressure chambers has been described by many authors. The malformation should not be confused with tetralogy of Fallot itself because the obstructive hypertrophic bands are usually proximal to the right ventricular infundibulum. One case [11 years old male] of double chambered right ventricle due to aberrant muscle bundle with intact ventricular septum is presented. The pressure gradient was 68 mmHg between inflow and outflow tracts of right ventricle on cardiac catheterization. On opening the right ventricle, there noted stenosis of outflow tract by infundibular membrane, hypertrophied anomalous muscle bundle, thickened moderator band & hypertrophied anterior papillary muscle. Open heart surgery was carried out with the aid of extracorporeal support, Anomalous muscle bundle [1.0 cm x 4.0 cm] and infundibular membrane were resected safely. The hypertrophied moderator band was cut at mid-portion and anterior papillary muscle was split vertically. The postoperative course was uneventful and discharged in good condition 2 weeks later.
