Abstract

Background: The Hetzer procedure for the correction of Ebstein's anomaly has the advantages of technical feasibility and incorporation of the atrialized right ventricle (RV) into the functional RV. Material and Method: We preformed a retrospective review of 11 patients with Ebstein's anomaly and they had undergone a Hetzer procedure between March 2002 and December 2006. Result: The median age at operation was 19.8 years (range: 6 months ${\sim}56$ years). There were 4 males and 7 females. All patients showed severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) preoperatively, and arterial desaturation (<95%) was present in 3 patients. The original Hetzer technique was employed in 6 patients with the Carpentier type A anomaly. In the remaining 5 patients with the Carpentier type B or C anomalies, valve competence was restored at the level of the displaced tricuspid valve mechanism. Adjunct bidirectional cavo-pulmonary shunt, or one and a half ventricle repair strategy was employed for all the patients. The median follow-up was 8.6 months (range: $0.8{\sim}51.9$ months). There was no early or late death, and the immediate postoperative TR was trivial to mild in 8 patients. The median cardio-thoracic ratios on chest X-ray at the preoperative period and at postoperative 0, 1 and 6 months were 65%, 62%, 55% and 55%, respectively. Conclusion: The original or modified Hetzer procedure for Ebstein's anomaly shows excellent intermediate-term outcomes.

배경: 엡스타인 기형의 Hetzer 술기를 이용한 교정은 기술적 용이함과 심방화된 우심실의 기능적 우심실로의 편입 등의 장점이 있다. 대상 및 방법: 2002년 3월부터 2006년 12월까지 엡스타인 기형으로 수술받은 19명 중 Hetzer 술기를 이용한 삼첨판 성형술을 받은 11명에 대한 자료를 후향적으로 분석하였다. 결과: 수술 당시 나이의 중간값은 19.8세(6개월${\sim}$65세)였고, 남녀 비율은 4 : 7이었다. 모든 환자에서 수술 전에 중증의 삼첨판폐쇄부전의 소견을 보였고, 95% 미만의 동맥혈 산소 불포화도 (arterial desaturation)는 3명에서 관찰되었다. Carpentier type A 기형을 가진 6명의 환자에서 Original Hetzer 술기가 시행되었으며, Carpentier type B 및 C 기형을 가진 5명에서는 변형 Hetzer 술기를 이용하여 우심실 원위부로 전위된 중격엽 부위에서 삼첨판막의 기능이 복구되었다. 보조적인 양 방향성 상대정맥-폐동맥 단락술(bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt)은 모든 환자에서 시행되었다. 중간 추적 관찰 기간은 8.6개월($0.8{\sim}51.9$개월)이었고 조기 사망이나 만기 사망은 없었다. 8명의 환자에서 수술 후 1주일만에 시행한 심초음파상 삼첨판 폐쇄부전이 거의 없거나 경증 정도 관찰되었다. 흉부방사선상 심흉비의 중간값은 수술 전 및 수술 후 0, 1, 6개월에 각각 65%, 62%, 55% 그리고 55%였다. 결론: 엡스타인 기형의 Hetzer 술기를 이용한 치료는 기술적으로 용이하며 만족할 만한 중기 추적관찰 결과를 보였다.
