Congenital left atrial appendage aneurysm is a very rare congenital cardiac abnormality. That is postulated to arise from a developmental weakness in the atrial wall in utero. Clinically, patients are often asymptomatic and are diagnosed incidentally, but supraventricular arrhythmias and systemic thromboembolism have also been reported in some cases. Surgical resection at the time of diagnosis is recommended because of the propensity for thromboembolic complications. A 13-month-old female, who was suspected preoperatively as having partial absence of pericardium with left atrial herniation through the defect, underwent surgical resection of the left atrial appendage aneurysm. Exposure through a median sternotomy showed an intact pericardium. The postoperative course was uneventful. 선천성 좌심방이류는 매우 드물게 보는 선천성 심질환으로서, 태생기의 심장 혈성과정에서 좌심방벽이 박 약할 때에 발생되는 것으로 추측하고 있다. 임상적으로 환자들은 별다른 증상 없이 지내다가 우연한 기 맙\ulcorner진단이 되는 경우가 흔하지만, 상실성 부정맥과 전신성 혈전색전증의 소견을 보이는 예들도 있다. 진단이 되 면 곧 수술을 시행하여야 하는데, 그 이유는 혈전색전증이 발생할 가능성이 있기 때문이다. 경북대학교병원 흉부외과에서는 술전에 좌측심낭막의 부분결손에 따른 좌심방탈출증으로 추정하여 정중흉골절개하에 수술 을 시행하였던 생후 13개월된 여아에서 심낭막은 온전하였던 반면에 선천성 좌심방이류가 있음이 확인되어 이를 절제하는 수술을 시행하였다. 환아는 술후에 양호한 경과를 보였다.

배경 및 목적: 폐동맥밴딩술(pulmonary artery banding)은 폐동맥밴딩에 따른 합병증과 2차 수술시의 사망률에 있어서 상당한 위험부담을 갖고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 폐동맥밴딩술후에 시행되는 2차 수술의 위험부담을 알아보기 위해서 이전에 폐동맥밴딩술을 받았던 소아에게 시행된 2차 완전교정술의 성적을 조사하였다. 방법: 이전에 폐동맥밴딩술을 받았던 환아들중 1988년 5월부터 1997년 6월사이에 개심술에 의한 2차 완전교정술을 받았던 29례의 소아를 대상으로 하였다. 연령은 생후 2개월에서 45개월까지 였다(평균 20.6$\pm$9.0개월). 이들중 27례는 기왕의 폐동맥밴딩술후에 심부전 증상이 호전되었던 예들이었고(정기 수술군), 2례는 그렇지 못하여 조기에 2차 수술을 시행해야 했었다(조기 수술군). 술전 진단명은 양대혈관우심실기시가 2례(양대혈관우심실기시군), 심실중격결손이 주병변이었던 경우가 27례(심실중격결손군)였었다. 결과: 폐동맥밴딩술후 2차 완전교정술 시행까지의 기간은 5일부터 45개월까지로 평균 15.5$\pm$8.7개월이었다. 수술방법은 양대혈관우심실기시 2례중 1례에서는 심실내 턴넬교정법이, 1례에서는 수정 Glenn수술이 시술되었고, 심실중격결손군에서는 전례에서 심실중격결손의 첨포봉합을 함과 아울러 누두부근육절제술 4례 및 형성부전성 폐동맥판막의 판막절제술 1례가 추가시행되었다. 2차 완전교정술시에, 18례에서는 폐동맥밴딩으로 인해 초래된 협착을 해소하기 위해서 폐동맥패취성형술을 시행하였고, 1례에서는 수정 Glenn수술을 위해 주폐동맥을 근위부에서 완전결찰하였다. 2차 완전교정술에 따른 병원사망률은 17.2%(5례)였는데, 사망원인으로는 저심박출 4례 및 자가면역 출혈성 빈혈 1례가 있었다. 본 연구에 있어서, 양대혈관우심실기시군(2례)과 조기 2차 수술군(2례)은 높은 병원사망률을 나타내는 위험인자로 작용하였다. 그리고 만기사망 1례가 있었다. 결론: 본 연구에서 이전에 폐동맥밴딩술을 받았던 소아에게 2차 완전교정술을 시행했던 결과는 폐동맥밴딩에 따른 후천적 병변을 함께 교정해야 하는 어려움에 기인하여 술후 이병률과 조기 수술사망률이 상당히 높게 나타났다. 따라서 가능하면, 단순 심실중격결손에 있어서는 1차 완전교정술이 요망된다. Background: Pulmonary artery banding(PAB) accompanies some risks in the aspect of band complications and mortality in the second-stage operation. To assess these risks of the second-stage operation after PAB, we reviewed the surgical results of the second-stage operation in the pediatric patients who had undergone PAB in infancy. Material and Method: From May 1988 to June 1997, a total of 29 patients with preliminary PAB underwent open heart surgery. Ages ranged from 2 to 45 months(mean 20.6$\pm$9.0 months). Preoperative congestive heart failure conditions were improved after PAB(elective operation group) in 27 patients, but early second-stage procedures were required in the remaining 2 patients due to sustaining congestive heart failure(early operation group). Preoperative surgical indications included 2 double outlet right ventricles(DORV group) and 27 ventricular septal defects as the main cardiac anomaly(VSD group). Result: The mean time interval from PAB to the second-stage operation was 15.5$\pm$8.7 months(range 5 days to 45 months). One patient in the DORV group underwent intraventricular tunnel repair and modified Glenn procedure in the other. In the VSD group, the VSD was closed with a Dacron patch in all patients. Concomitant procedures included a right ventricular infundibulectomy in 4 patients and a valvectomy of the dysplastic pulmonary valve in 1 patient. At the second-stage operations, pulmonary angioplasty was required due to the stenotic banding sites in 18 patients. One patient underwent complete ligation of the main pulmonary artery with the modified Glenn procedure. The mortality at the second-stage operation was 17.2%(5 patients). Causes of death were 4 low cardiac output, and 1 autoimmune hemolytic anemia. Diagnosis with DORV and the early operative group were the risk factors for operative death in this series. There was 1 late death. Conclusion: This study revealed the second-stage operation for pulmonary artery debanding and closure of VSD in children was complicated by the correction of the acquired lesions with a significantly high incidence of morbidity and early postoperative deaths. Primary repair is recommended for isolated VSD, if possible.

Outcomes of Nonpledgeted Horizontal Mattress Suture Technique for Mitral Valve Replacement

김근직,이영옥,조준용,오탁혁,이종태 대한흉부외과학회 2014 Journal of Chest Surgery (J Chest Surg) Vol.47 No.6

Background: Most surgeons favor the pledgeted suture technique for heart valve replacements because they believe it decreases the risk of paravalvular leak (PVL). We hypothesized that the use of nonpledgeted rather than pledgeted sutures during mitral valve replacement (MVR) may decrease the incidence of prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) and risk of a major PVL. Methods: We analyzed 263 patients, divided into 175 patients who underwent MVR with nonpledgeted sutures from January 2003 to December 2013 and 88 patients who underwent MVR with pledgeted sutures from January 1995 to December 2001. We compared the occurrence of PVL and PVE between these groups. Results: In patients who underwent MVR with or without tricuspid valve surgery and/or a Maze operation, PVL occurred in 1.1% of the pledgeted group and 2.9% of the nonpledgeted group. The incidence of PVE was 2.9% in the nonpledgeted group and 1.1% in the pledgeted group. No differences were statistically significant. Conclusion: We suggest that a nonpledgeted suture technique can be an alternative to the traditional use of pledgeted sutures in most patients who undergo MVR, with no significant difference in the incidence of PVL.

김근직,이응배,조준용,전상훈,장봉현,이종태,김규태 대한흉부심장혈관외과학회 2000 Journal of Chest Surgery (J Chest Surg) Vol.33 No.8

From March 1988 to June 1994, 275 CarboMedics cardiac valve prostheses(199 mitral, 70 aortic and 3 tricuspid) were implanted in 226 consecutive patients(mean age 39 years, male/female 90/136) by one surgical team operating on adult cardiac patients at Kyungpook University Hospital. Total follow up represented 16,848 patient-months(mean 76 months) and follow up rate was 96%. One hundred and forty-nine patients(66%) wer in NYHA functional class III or IV preoperatively, and 204 patients(99.5%) were in class I or II postoperatively. Early mortality was 4.9% and late death was 9.3%. The actuarial survival at 81 months was 86.l2$\pm$3.1%. The linearized incidence of valve-related death, prosthetic valve thrombosis, anticoagulation-related hemorrhage, non-structural dysfunction and reoperation were 0.71%, 0.43%, 0.07%, 0.21%, and 0.14% respectively. The 81-month rate of freedom from all valve related complications and deaths including hospital mortality was 88.1$\pm$2.5%. Thee facts suggest that the CarboMedics cardiac valve has excellent result, low incidence of valve-related complications and no structureal deterioration.

대동맥 협부의 내막파열을 가진 고위험군 대동맥박리환자에서 시행한 스텐트 그라프트 삽입 −1예 보고−

도영우,김근직,조준용,이종태 대한흉부외과학회 2010 Journal of Chest Surgery (J Chest Surg) Vol.43 No.4

Recently, stent-graft insertion has been widely used along with surgery for treatment of thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysm. However, use of stent-graft insertion is controversial in descending aortic dissection. We report here on our experience of a patient who received a stent-graft for descending aortic dissection that nearly ruptured. Based on CT findings at three months follow up, results were satisfactory. 최근 흉부 및 복부 대동맥류 질환에 대해 스텐트 그라프트 삽입이 수술적 치료와 함께 널리 시행되고 있다. 그러나 하행 대동맥박리인 경우 스텐트 그라프트 사용에 대해서는 논란의 여지가 있다. 저자들은 파열이 임박한 하행 대동맥박리 환자에서 스텐트 그라프트를 삽입하여 치료 후 3개월 뒤의 흉부전산화단층촬영에서 양호한 결과를 얻은 경험이 있기에 이를 보고하는 바이다.

체외 순환을 이용한 감염된 영구 심박동기 도선의 제거 −2예 보고−

오탁혁,김근직,이종태 대한흉부외과학회 2010 Journal of Chest Surgery (J Chest Surg) Vol.43 No.1

Implanting a pacemaker is the most often used intervention for treating bradycardia. The most commonly used pacemaker is the intracardiac pacemaker, yet it can have many complications. An infected pacemaker can spread to systemic infection and the condition of the patient can quickly get worse, so if an infected pacemaker is suspected, then the pacemaker must be removed. Apart from the use of interventional methods such as a loop or a weight, we can take a more aggressive approach by using extracorporeal circulation for removal of the pacemaker. We report here on two cases in which extracorporeal circulation was used to remove the infected pacemakers. 심박동기는 동기능 부전 증후군에서부터 완전 방실차단까지 서맥의 치료에 가장 보편적으로 사용되는 중재적 치료다. 일반적으로 경정맥을 통한 심내 심박동기를 많이 사용하고 있으나 감염 및 혈전증, 박동기의 기능부전, 부정맥, 심근천공, 삼첨판 폐쇄부전증 등의 합병증이 발생할 수 있다. 심박동기의 감염은 전신감염으로 이행되어 환자 상태가 빠르게 악화될 수 있으므로 감염으로 의심되면 제거하는 것이 원칙이다. 추나 올가미 등을 이용한 방법등 비수술적인 방법외에도 체외순환을 이용한 적극적인 제거도 환자 상태에 따라 고려해야 할 것이다. 감염된 심박동기를 체외순환을 이용하여 제거한 두 개의 증례를 보고하는 바이다.

이홍규,김근직,이종태 대한흉부외과학회 2009 Journal of Chest Surgery (J Chest Surg) Vol.42 No.1

좌관상동맥동과 비관상동맥동에서 발생하여 좌심실로 파열된 발살바동 동맥류에 기인한 울혈성 심부전을 주소로 내원한 37세 남자 환자의 수술적 체험 1예를 보고하고자 한다. 술전 심초음파에서 발살바동 주위의 낭성 구조물이 관찰되었고 좌심실 비대와 심한 대동맥판폐쇄부전이 관찰되었고 발살바동맥류와 대동맥-좌심실터널을 감별진단의 범주에 두었다. 수술 소견에서 좌관상동맥동과 비관상동맥동 모두 좌심실로 통하는 누공을 가지고 있었다. 좌심실로 파열된 누공은 bovine pericardium으로 봉합하였으며 대동맥근부는 21 mm St. Jude Epic Supra tissue valve와 24 mm Hemashild의 복합도관을 사용하여 교정된 Bentall 수술을 시행하였다. 환자는 수술 후 15일째 퇴원하였으며, 2개월간 정기적으로 외래추적 관찰중이다. 이에 저자들은 본 질환의 희귀성과 함께 수술적 방법을 알리고자 증례보고 하는 바이다. We report here on a case of a ruptured sinus of a valsalva aneurysm into the left ventricle with the rupture site communicating with both the left coronary sinus and the noncoronary sinus in a 37-year-old male who presented with symptoms of congestive heart failure. Echocardiography showed a sac-like structure around the sinus of valsalva, an enlarged left ventricle (LV) and severe aortic regurgitation, which all suggested a ruptured sinus of a valsalva aneurysm or an aortic-left ventricular tunnel. The operative findings revealed that both the left coronary sinus and the noncoronary sinus had an opening into the left ventricle. The proximal opening into the LV was closed with bovine pericardium and the aortic root was replaced with a composite graft (a 21 mm St. Jude Epic Supra tissue valve and a 24 mm Hemashild graft) by the modified Bentall procedure. The patient was discharged on the 15th postoperative day, and he was regularly followed up for 2 months. We report on this case due to its rarity and to describe the surgical repair techniques.

Comparison of the Outcomes between Axillary and Femoral Artery Cannulation for Acute Type A Aortic Dissection

이홍규,김근직,조준용,이종태,박일,이영옥 대한흉부외과학회 2012 Journal of Chest Surgery (J Chest Surg) Vol.45 No.2

Background: At present, many surgeons prefer axillary artery cannulation because it facilitates antegrade cerebral perfusion and may diminish the risk of cerebral embolization. However, axillary artery cannulation has not been established as a routine procedure because there is controversy about its clinical advantage. Materials and Methods: We examined 111 patients diagnosed with acute type A aortic dissection between January 2000 and December 2009. The right axillary artery was cannulated in 58 patients (group A) and the femoral artery was cannulated in 53 (group F). The postoperative outcomes were retrospectively reviewed and compared between the two groups. Results: There were 46 male and 65 female patients with a mean age of 58.9±13.1 years (range, 26 to 84 years). The extent of aortic replacement in both groups did not differ. There were 8 early deaths (7.2%) and 2 late deaths (1.8%). The mean follow-up duration was 46.0±32.6 months (range, 1 month to 10 years). Transient neurologic dysfunction was observed in 11 patients (19.0%) in group A and 14 patients (26.4%) in group F. A total of 11 patients (9.9%) suffered from a permanent neurologic dysfunction. Early and delayed stroke were observed in 6 patients (10.3%) and 2 patients (3.4%), respectively, in group A as well as 2 patients (3.8%) and 1 patient (1.9%), respectively, in group F. There were no statistical differences in the cannulation-related complications between both groups (3 in group A vs. 0 in group F). Conclusion: There were no differences in postoperative neurologic outcomes and cannulation-related complications according to the cannulation sites. The cannulation site in an aortic dissection should be carefully chosen on a case-by-case basis. It is important to also pay attention to the possibility of intraoperative malperfusion syndrome occurring and the subsequent need to change the cannulation site.

Direct Axillary Arterial Cannulation Using Seldinger’s Technique in Aortic Dissection

도영우,김근직,박일,조준용,이종태 대한흉부외과학회 2011 Journal of Chest Surgery (J Chest Surg) Vol.44 No.5

Background: The axillary artery is frequently used for cardiopulmonary bypass, especially in acute aortic dissection. We have cannulated the axillary artery using a side graft or by directly using Seldinger’s technique. The purpose of this study was to assess the technical problems and complications of both cannulation techniques. Materials and Methods: From January 2003 to December 2009, 53 patients underwent operations using the axillary artery for arterial cannulation. The axillary artery was cannulated with a side graft in 35 patients (side graft group) and directly using Seldinger’s technique in 18 patients (direct group). Results: The results were compared between two groups, focusing on cannulation-related morbidities including neurologic morbidity. Arterial damage or dissection of the axillary artery occurred in 1 (2.9%) patient in the side graft group and in 1 (5.6%) patient in the direct group. Malperfusion and insufficient flow did not occur in either group. There were no postoperative complications related to axillary cannulation, such as brachial plexus injury, compartment syndrome, or local wound infection, in either group. Conclusion: Technical problems and complications of the axillary arterial cannulation in both techniques were rare. Direct arterial cannulation using Seldinger’s technique was done safely and more simply than the previous technique. It was concluded that both axillary arterial cannulation techniques are acceptable and it remains the surgeon’s preference which technique should be used.

Staged Management of a Ruptured Internal Mammary Artery Aneurysm

권오영,김근직,오탁혁,이영옥,이상철,조준용 대한흉부외과학회 2016 Journal of Chest Surgery (J Chest Surg) Vol.49 No.2

The rupture of an internal mammary artery (IMA) aneurysm in a patient with type 1 neurofibromatosis (NF-1) is a rare but life-threatening complication requiring emergency management. A 50-year-old man with NF-1 was transferred to the emergency department of Kyungpook National University Hospital, where an IMA aneurysmal rupture and hemothorax were diagnosed and drained. The IMA aneurysmal rupture and hemothorax were successfully repaired by staged management combining endovascular treatment and subsequent video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). The patient required cardiopulmonary cerebral resuscitation, the staged management of coil embolization, and a subsequent VATS procedure. This staged approach may be an effective therapeutic strategy in cases of IMA aneurysmal rupture.
