Abstract

Background: Ventricular septal defect(VSD) is rare but feared complication after acute myocardial infarction. The patient could survive by surgery only, but the surgical mortality is still high. We investigate the surgical result and predictors for early surgical mortality. Material and Method: Between August 1993 and February 2006, 8 patients (male, 2: female, 6) with postinfarct VSD underwent surgical repair. Seven patients had one-vessel disease of left anterior descending artery, and 6 of them had wide extension of infarction to posterior septal wall as well as anterior septal wall of both ventricles. One patient had concomitant coronary bypass grafting to a coronary lesion unrelated to the infarction. Two patients had concomitant tricuspid annuloplasty and 1 patient mitral valvuloplasty. Result: Surgical mortality was 37.5%(3 patients). They all had only one-vessel disease of left anterior descending artery, which made extended posterior septal wall infarction as well as anterior septal wall infarction of both ventricles. In preoperative M-mode echocardiographic study of left ventricle, they had lower ejection fraction than survivors($34.9{\pm}4.2\;vs.\;54.8{\pm}12.3$; p=0.036). Conclusion: Most of patients with postinfarction VSD had one-vessel disease of left anterior descending artery. Early surgical mortality occurred in the patients with poor ejection fraction of left ventricle and the wide anterior septal wall infarction extending to the posterior septum.

배경: 급성 심근경색 후 발생하는 심실중격결손은 드문 치명적인 합병증이다. 수술만이 유일한 치료법이나, 그 수술사망률은 아직도 높다. 저자들은 수술 환자들의 수술 결과와 조기사망의 원인을 알아보았다. 대상 및 방법: 1993년 8월부터 2006년 2월까지 급성 심근경색 후 발생한 심실중격결손 환자 8예(남 2예, 여 6예)를 수술하였다. 그중 7예가 좌전하행지의 단혈관질환을 가지고 있었고, 6예는 전중격뿐만이 아니라 후중격까지 넓은 경색을 가지고 있었다. 1예에서 경색과 무관한 관상동맥우회술을 시행하였으며 2예에서 삼첨판 성형술을, 1예에서 승모판 성형술을 같이 시행하였다. 결과: 수술 사망은 3예(37.5%)였다. 사망 환자들은 모두 경색의 범위가 심실의 전중격뿐만이 아니라 후중격까지 넓게 퍼져 있었고 초음파 M-mode 검사에서 좌심실 기저부의 박출률이 생존자들보다 상대적으로 낮았다($34.9{\pm}4.2\;vs.\;54.8{\pm}12.3$; p=0.036). 결론: 심근경색증에 의한 급성 심실중격결손은 대부분 단혈관질환에서 발생하였다. 심장초음파 검사상 좌심실 기저부의 박출률이 낮고 심실중격의 경색 범위가 넓어 후중격까지 진행된 환자에서 조기 사망률이 높았다.
