Abstract

Purpose : The purpose of this study is to determine whether the new pulmonary valve reconstruction technique prevents short-term postoperative pulmonary regurgitation and improves early and mid-term clinical outcome. Methods : We reviewed postoperative echocardiographic variables and chest X-ray films from 31 patients who had undergone valve reconstruction(pulmonary valve reconstruction group : PVR) for the repair of TOF between April 2000 and August 2004. We compared the clinical data of these patients with those from 47 patients who had right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction with a monocusp valve(monocusp ventricular outflow patch group : MVOP) and 22 patients who had a transannular patch repair without a monocusp valve(transannular patch group : TAP). Results : In the PVR group, 25 patients(81 percent) had trivial or mild pulmonary regurgitation in their early post operative echocardiogram. Only 12 patients(26 percent) in the MVOP group had mild pulmonary regurgitation; and no patient in the TAP group had it. Pulmonary valve function was good in 96 percent of the PVR group, 36 percent of the MVOP group, and none in the TAP group in early post-operative echocardiogram. Follow-up echocardiogram(1, 2, 3, 4 years later) of the MVOP and TAP groups showed moderate pulmonary regurgitation and severely decreased valve function in almost all cases. However, in the PVR group 54 percent(16/28), 50 percent(14/28), 37 percent(9/24), and 31 percent(5/16) of the patients had trivial or mild pulmonary regurgitation 1, 2, 3 and 4 years after operation, respectively. The valve function remained good in 80 percent(24/30), 64 percent(18/28), 57 percent(12/21), and 31 percent(5/16) of the patients 1, 2, 3 and 4 years after operation respectively. Conclusion : Pulmonary valve reconstruction is effective in reducing pulmonary regurgitation and right ventricular dilatation in the repair of TOF, even though regurgitation increases with time. Further study is needed to determine long-term results.

목 적 : 폐동맥판 역류를 감소시키고자 2000년 4월부터 자기 판막을 이용한 판막 재건술을 시행하였으며, 이러한 수술 방법이 폐동맥판 역류와 임상적인 결과의 호전을 주는지 알아보고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방 법 : 1991년 7월부터 2004년 8월까지 동아대학교 의료원에서 활로사징으로 완전 교정술을 시행한 환아 중, 자기 판막 조직을 이용한 폐동맥 판막 재건술을 시행한 31례(PVR군)와 수술 후 같은 추적 관찰 기간을 가진 활로사징 환아 중 경판륜 첩포(transannular patch) 확장 수술 후 단엽(monocusp)을 삽입한 47례(MVOP군), 경판륜 첩포 수술만 시행한 22례(TAP군)를 대조군으로 하였다. 이들 대조군과 PVR군에서 폐동맥판 역류, 폐동맥 판막의 기능, 삼첨판/승모판 판륜의 비율, 심-흉곽 비율을 계측하여 비교하였다. 결 과 : MVOP군에서 심초음파 검사상 중등도의 폐동맥판 역류는 수술 직후 35례(74%)에서 관찰되었고, 우심실의 확장이 있는 경우가 12례(26%)였다. 그러나 PVR군은 중등도의 폐동맥판 역류는 6례(19%)였고, 우심실의 확장이 있는 경우는 1례(3%)에 불과하였다. 이후 매년 추적 검사상 MVOP군에서 거의 모든 예에서 중등도의 폐동맥판 역류를 보였고, PVR군에서 점차 증가하는 경향을 보였다. MVOP군의 수술 직후 초음파 검사에서 운동성이 확인되지 않은 경우가 18례(38%)였으며, 12례에서는 양호한 판막 기능을 보였다. PVR군은 30례(96%)에서 우수한 판막 기능을 보여 주었고, 1례(3%)에서 양호한 판막 기능을 보였다. 추적 관찰 기간 중의 판막의 기능은 MVOP군에서 추적 관찰 기간에 따라 판막 기능의 급격한 감소를 보여 주었으며, PVR군은 1년, 2년, 3년, 4년 추적 관찰 기간에 각각 27례(90%), 21례(75%), 14례(68%), 8례(50%)로 관찰 기간이 경과할수록 기능이 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 심-흉곽의 비율은 세 군에서 수술 직후에는 차이가 없었으나 PVR군이 1년, 2년, 3년, 4년 추적 관찰 기간에 통계학적으로 유의하게 양군에 비해 감소되었다. 그러나 MVOP군과 TAP군간에는 통계학적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다. 삼첨판/승모판 판륜 직경의 비는 수술 직후에는 차이가 없었으며 추적 관찰 기간 1년, 2년 및 3년에 양 군에 비해 통계학적으로 유의하게 차이가 있었다. 그러나 MVOP군과 TAP군간에는 통계학적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다. 결 론 : PVR군이 다른 군에 비해 폐동맥판 역류의 정도는 감소되었으며, 판막의 기능이 양호하였고, 심-흉곽 비율, 삼첨판/승모판 판륜의 비가 유의하게 낮았다. 그러나 PVR 군에서 폐동맥판 역류 정도, 판막 운동의 저하가 추적 관찰 기간이 경과함에 따라 악화하는 경향을 보였으며, 장기적인 추적 관찰이 필요하리라 생각된다.
