다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Background: In this study, we investigated the risk factors for the development or progression of aortic regurgitation(AR) in patients with type I ventricular septal defect (VSD) to determine the optimal surgical timing and strategy. Material and Method: Three-hundred and ten patients with type I VSD with or without AR were included. The mean of age was 73.7±114.7 (1～737) months. One hundred and eighty six patients (60%) had no AR, 83 (27%) had mild AR, 25 (8%) had moderate AR and 16 (5%) had severe AR. Aortic valve was repaired in 5 patients and replaced in 11 patients with closure of VSD in the first operation. Four patients required redo aortic valve repair and 11 patients required redo aortic valve replacement. Age at operation, association with aortic valve prolapse, Qp/Qs, systolic pulmonary arterial pressure, VSD size and systolic pulmonary artery to aortic pressure ratio(s[PAP/AP]) were included as risk factors analysis for the development of AR. The long-term result of aortic valve repair and aortic valve replacement were compared. Result: Older age at operation, association with aortic valve prolapse, high Qp/Qs, and s[PAP/AP] were identified as risk factors for the development of AR (p＜0.05, Table 2). The older the patient at the time of operation, the higher the severity of preoperative AR and the incidence of postoperative AR (p＜0.05, Table 1, Fig. 1). For the older patients at operation, aortic valve repair had higher occurrence of AR compared to those who had aortic valve replacement (p＜0.05, Fig. 2). Conclusion: From the result of this study, we can concluded that early primary repair is recommended to decrease the progression of AR. Aortic valve repair is not always a satisfactory option to correct the aortic valve pathology, which may suggest that aortic valve replacement should be considered when indicated.

목적: 저자들은 본 연구에서 제I형 심실중격결손 환자에서 대동맥판막 병변 발생의 위험인자와 수술 후 대동맥판막병변의 진행 양상과 수술 결과를 분석하여 제I형 심실중격결손의 수술시기와 치료전략을 확립하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1991년 1월부터 2000년 12월까지 제I형 심실중격결손 또는 이에 동반된 대동맥판막병변에 대한 수술을 시행한 310예의 환자군을 대상으로 하였다. 환자의 평균연령은 73.7 114.7 (1∼737)개월이었으며 평균체중은 20.5 18.8 (3∼95) kg이었다. 진단 당시 대동맥판막병변이 없는 경우가 186예(60%)였고 경도의 대동맥판폐쇄부전이 동반된 경우가 83예(27%), 중등도의 대동맥판폐쇄부전이 동반된 경우가 25예(8%), 중증 대동맥판폐쇄부전이 동반된 경우가 16예(5%)였다. 295예의 환자는 일차수술에서 동맥하심실중격결손만을 폐쇄하거나(279예) 동시에 대동맥판막성형술을 시행하거나(5예), 대동맥판막치환술을 시행하였다(11예). 15예의 환자는 일차로 심실중격결손에 대해 수술을 받았던 환자 중 이차로 대동맥판막성형술을 시행하거나(4예), 대동맥판막치환술을 시행하였다(11예). 대동맥판폐쇄부전의 발생에 영향을 주는 위험인자를 분석하기 위하여 수술 당시 환자의 나이, 대동맥판막탈출증의 동반 여부, Qp/Qs, 수축기폐동맥압, 심실중격결손의 크기, 수축기 폐동맥압/체동맥압비 등을 분석대상 위험인자로 포함시켰다. 수술 당시 나이가 대동맥판폐쇄부전 발생에 미치는 영향을 보기 위해 환자군을 0∼1세(Group A: 102예), 1∼6세(Group B: 136예), 6∼20세(Group C: 31예)로 나누었다. 대동맥판막의 수술방법에 따른 만기 수술 성적의 비교를 위해 대동맥판막성형술을 시행받은 9예와 대동맥판막치환술을 시행받은 22예의 술후 대동맥판막 기능을 비교하였다. 결과: 제I형 심실중격결손 환자에서 수술 당시 고연령, 대동맥판막탈출증 동반, 높은 Qp/Qs, 수축기고폐동맥압 등이 대동맥판폐쇄부전 발생의 위험인자로 밝혀졌다(p＜0.05, Table 2). 특히 수술 당시 연령이 높을수록 술 전 대동맥판폐쇄부전의 빈도가 높았으며 술 후 대동맥판폐쇄부전이 새로 발생하거나 진행하는 빈도가 높았다(p＜0.05, Table 1, Fig. 1). 수술 당시 연령이 높은 환자에 대하여 판막대치술이 아닌 판막성형술을 한 경우 잔존 대동맥판폐쇄부전이 남는 경우가 의미있게 높았다(p＜0.05, Fig. 2). 결론: 결론적으로 대동맥판막의 병변 진행이나 발생을 억제하기 위하여 제I형 심실중격결손증에 대해서는 조기 수술이 권장되며 조기수술이 안 되어 병변의 진행이 심해지면 대동맥판막성형술의 완벽한 결과를 기대하기 어려운 경우가 적지 않으므로 병변이 심한 경우 대동맥판막대치술도 수술방법의 선택목록에 포함시켜야 한다.
