Pre-op Chest X-ray ( )
Preoperative Diagnosis Hepatic vein into pulmonary atrium Adjacent to the coronary sinus & intrahepatic collateral formation Atrioventricular valve regurgitation ; moderate Aortic insufficiency ; moderate to severe Aortic Root (Echocardiography) Aortic Root (Echocardiography) Aortic annulus : 24 mm. Sinus : 35~37 mm. Sinotubular junction : 30~32 mm
Pre-Op Cardiac Catheterization
Operation ( ) Extracorporeal circulation CPB time : 159 min / ACC time : 88 min Cannulation Arterial cannular : Ascending aorta Venous cannula : Into the lateral tunnel Cardioplegics Blood cardioplegics : Direct antegrade 400cc/time × 3 times / Total Amount : 1200 cc
Operative Technique ( I ) A. Triangular resections of the dilated sinus wall Excision varies with the redundancy of the sinus wall & degree of reduction of the sinotubular junction B. Reconstruction of the aortic root AB
Operative Technique ( II ) Ascending aorta reduction plasty Subcommissural annuloplasty
Operation ( ) Hepatic vein ligation & clipping Aortic root reconstruction Subcommissural annuloplasty, reduction of sinus & sinotubular junction by triangular resection ( Valve sizer 21mm in reduced sinotubular junction) Ascending aorta reduction plasty Atrioventricular valve repair
Post-Op Chest X-ray
Postoperative EchoCG Aortic valve regurgitation Trivial Atrioventricular valve regurgitation Trivial Atrioventricular valve stenosis None Ligated left hepatic vein Good ventricular contraction Good pulmonary venous inflow
