Abstract

Background: Homografts and bioprostheses are most commonly used for Rastelli operation in congenital heart disease, but the limited durability is responsible for multiple reoperations associated with increased morbidity This study evaluated long-term results after Rastelli operation with a mechanical valved conduit. Material and Method: A total of 20 patients underwent Rastelli operation with mechanical valved conduit from January 1990 to July 1992. Operative mortality was 1 of 20 patients, and a retrospective review of 19 patients(10 males, 9 females) was done. Initial diagnosis was congenitally corrected transposition of great arteries(cc-TGA, n=4), complete TGA (n=2), ventricular septal defect with pulmonary atresia(VSD with PA, n=9), truncus arteriosus(n=2), double outlet right ventricle with pulmonary stenosis(DORV with PS, n=2). The mean age at Rastelli operation was $4.6{\pm}3.4$ years, and mean follow-up period was $12.8{\pm}2.7$ years. Patients underwent Rastelli opearation using 16 CarboMedics mechanical valve, and 3 Bjork-Shiley mechanical valve($17{\pm}2$ mm). Result: There were 15 reoperations for failed mechanical valved conduit. The freedom from reoperation at 5 and 10 years was 53% and 37%. Most patients were received oral anticoagulation with warfarin, and maintained the international normalized ratio(INR) of 1.5 to 2.0. There was no anticoagulation or thromboembolism related complication. There was a significant difference in the causes of a conduit failure between early(within 3 years) and late(after 3 years) failure groups. The six patients reported early prosthetic valve failure, mainly due to valvular dysfunction by thrombosis or pannus formation. The other nine patients reported late prosthetic valve failure, mainly due to dacron conduit stenosis at anastomosis sites, whereas their valvar motion was normal except 1 patient. Conclusion: To avoid early prosthetic valve failure, strict anticoagulation therapy would be helpful. About the late development of obstructive intimal fibrocalcific peels within the Dacron conduit, an improvement of conduit material is necessary to reduce late prosthetic valve failure. In selected patients, the long term results were satisfactory.

배경: 선천성 심장병에서 라스텔리 수술은 일반적으로 동종 혹은 이종의 조직판막을 이용하게 되며 이 경우 장기적으로 재수술이 요구된다. 반면 기계판막을 이용하여 라스텔리 수술은 보고가 많지 않으며 이번 연구는 이들 환자에서의 장기 성적을 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1990년 1월부터 1992년 7월까지 기계판막을 이용한 라스텔리 수술을 받은 20명의 환자 중 조기 사망 1명을 제외한 19명의 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 기저질환으로는 교정된 대혈관전위증 4예, 대혈관전위증 2예, 심실중격결손을 동반한 폐동맥폐쇄증 9예, 총동맥간 2예, 양대혈관우심실기시증에 동반된 폐동맥협착증 2예였다. 수술 당시의 평균 연령은 $4.6{\pm}3.4$년이며, 남녀비는 1.11:1이었다. 사용한 판막으로는 Carbomedics 16예, Bjork-Shiley 3예였으며 평균 크기는 $17{\pm}2mm$였다. 평균 추적관찰 기간은 $12.8{\pm}2.7$년이었다. 결과: 19명 중 15명은 판막 도관에 대한 재수술을 받았으며, 재수술까지의 평균 기간은 $5.3{\pm}4.7$년이었다. 재수술 시에는 전부 조직판막을 사용하였다. 5 yr freedom from reoperation은 53%, 10 yr freedom from reoperation은 37%였다. 항응고 치료는 와파린과 아스피린, 다이피리다몰을 사용하였으며 PT INR수준은 1.5에서 2.0으로 유지하였고, 심각한 수준의 출혈성 부작용이나 색전에 의한 부작용은 발생하지 않았다. 술 후 3년을 기준으로 이전과 이후의 판막도관의 실패원인에서 차이를 보였다. 3년 이전에 재수술을 받은 환자군(총 6예)을 분석하였을 때, 전부에서 판막 자체의 움직임에 제한이 있었으며, 그 중 3예에서는 혈전에 의한 움직임 장애, 3예에서는 pannus 또는 fibromyxoid plaque에 의한 움직임 장애였다. 반면, 3년 이후에 재수술을 시행받은 9예에서는 1예를 제외하고 전부에서 도관 협착이 있었으며 판막 움직임은 정상이었다. 결론: 기계판막을 이용하여 라스텔리 수술의 경우 장기 성적을 좋게 하기 위해서 초기에는 엄격한 항응고 치료가 요구되며 장기적으로는 도관재질의 개선을 요구된다. 일부 환자에서는 10년 이상 특별한 문제없이 사용이 가능하였다.
