Abstract

Patients with aortic root disease, frequently seen in Marfan syndrome have progressive dilatation of the aortic sinuses and dilatation and distortion of the aortic annulus, leading to aortic incompetence. They are currently treated with composite graft replacement of the ascending aorta and aortic valve and reimplantation of the coronary arteries. Recently, we experienced an aortic root replacement with aortic valve preservation in a patient with annuloaortic ectasia. The ascending aorta and sinus was excised except the aortic annulus and aortic valve. The aortic valve was reimplanted inside of a collagen-impregnated tubular Dacron graft. The coronary arteries were also reimplanted. The patient was followed up for six months and reevaluated with the echocardiography. Postoperative Doppler echocardiography revealed normal aortic valve function. With this technique, it is possible to preserve the native aortic valve if the aortic leaflets are anatomically normal.

Marfan 증후군과 같은 대동맥 질환의 경우 대동맥동 및 대동맥륜의 점진적인 확장 및 변형이 발생하여 대동맥판막의 폐쇄부전을 초래한다. 이런 경우 대부분 상행대동맥과 대동맥 판막을 composite graft의 형태로 치환하고 여기에 관상동맥을 문합하는 술식이 적용되어왔다. 본 증례는 Marfan 증후군이 동반된 22세 남자 환자로 대동맥 근부 확장과 승모판막 부전이 있었다. 수술은 대동맥 판막 및 좌심실유출로의 일부를 보존하면서 상행대동맥 및 Valsalva동의 동맥류를 제거하고, 대동맥 판막 및 관상동맥을 인조혈관에 다시 문합하는 술식을 적용하였다. 술후 심초음파 검사상 대동맥 판막의 기능은 정상이었다. 대동맥륜 확장증에 있어서 대동맥 판막이 정상적인 해부학적 구조를 가진다면 이상의 술식을 적용함으로써 자신의 대동맥 판막은 보존하면서 대동맥 근부를 치환할 수 있으리라 생각된다.
