The aim of this study was to obtain comprehensive data regarding the hemocompatibility of diamond-like carbon (DLC)-coated expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE). DLC increased the hydrophilicity and smoothened the surface and fibrillar structure, respectively, of the ePTFE. DLC-coated ePTFE had more albumin and fibrinogen adsorption and less platelet adhesion than uncoated ePTFE. There were scarce red cell attachments in in vitro human and in vivo animal (rat and swine) whole blood contact tests in both DLC-coated and uncoated ePTFE. DLC-coated ePTFE had a similar but marginally thicker band movement than uncoated-ePTFE with SDS-PAGE after human whole blood contact test. In addition, survival studies of aortic graft replacement in rats (1.5 mm graft) and arteriovenous shunt in goats (4 mm graft) were performed to compare the patency and clot formation between DLC-coated and uncoated ePTFE grafts. Comparable patency was observed in both animal models. However, clots were observed in the luminal surface of the patent 1.5 mm DLC-coated ePTFE grafts, but not in that of uncoated ePTFE grafts. In conclusions, hemocompatibility of DLC-coated ePTFE was high and comparable to that of uncoated ePTFE. However, it failed to improve the hemocompatibility of 1.5 mm ePTFE graft probably because increased fibrinogen adsorption canceled the other beneficial effects of DLC.

Silicone tubing is used in small-diameter long-sized tubes for medical applications, such as urinary catheters. However, bacteria in urine adhere to the catheters, forming colonies and biofilms and resulting in blockages and urinary tract infections. Therefore, we have reported a method of AC high-voltage plasma chemical vapor deposition to prevent bacterial adhesion by depositing diamond-like carbon (DLC) on a lumen of a silicone catheter and smoothing the surface. However, the sp³/sp² structure of DLC on the lumen surface is unresolved, and biomimetic DLC with a functionalized surface has not been investigated. Therefore, we analyzed a flexible membrane structure that can deform as the resin tube deforms. In addition, we developed a lumen surface-modification method using an AC high-voltage burst oxygen plasma processing to bring the DLC surface closer to the in vivo environment. We succeeded in creating biomimetic DLC and introducing carboxyl groups. Using this technology, the surface functionalization of medical tube materials is biocompatible with various protein-adsorption properties.

Biocompatible polymer brushes were successfully synthesized on diamond-like carbon (DLC) films via surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) of 2-mtharyloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC). The DLC film with a water contact angle (WCA) of approximately 71.9° was modified into a highly hydrophilic surface with a WCA of approximately 15.0° after MPC polymer brush modification. Protein adsorption tests using a quartz crystal microbalance showed that the MPC polymer brush modification dramatically decreased the physical adsorption of bovine albumin and fibrinogen when compared with the DLC film. This indicated an improvement in the surface biocompatibility. Considering that DLC coatings can be applied to various materials such as metals, polymers, and ceramics, MPC polymer brush modification of DLC films would be a versatile technology for improving the surface biocompatibility of a variety of biomedical devices.

Background: Chronic angiotensin II (AngII) infusion promotes ascending aortic dilation in C57BL/6J mice. Meanwhile, vasohibin-2 (VASH2) is an angiogenesis promoter in neovascularization under various pathologic conditions. The aim of this study was to investigate whether exogenous VASH2 influences chronic AngII-induced ascending aortic dilation. Methods and Results: Eight-ten-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were injected with adenovirus (Ad) expressing either VASH2 or LacZ. One week after the injection, mice were infused with either AngII or saline s.c. for 3 weeks. Mice were divided into 4 groups: AngII+VASH2, AngII+LacZ, saline+VASH2, and saline+LacZ. Overexpression of VASH2 significantly increased AngII-induced intimal areas as well as the external diameter of the ascending aorta. In addition, VASH2 overexpression promoted ascending aortic medial elastin fragmentation in AngII-infused mice, which was associated with increased matrix metalloproteinase activity and medial smooth muscle cell (SMC) apoptosis. On western blot analysis, accumulation of apoptotic signaling proteins, p21 and p53 was increased in the AngII+VASH2 group. Furthermore, transfection of human aortic SMC with Ad VASH2 increased p21 and p53 protein abundance upon AngII stimulation. Positive TUNEL staining was also detected in the same group of the human aortic SMC. Conclusions: Exogenous VASH2 exacerbates AngII-induced ascending aortic dilation in vivo, which is associated with increased medial apoptosis and elastin fragmentation.

透析用内シャント設置術の開存率は満足できるものではない。自己血管を使用した前腕内シャントの1次開存率は1年で43～85%、2年で40～69%、二次開存率は1年で46～90%、2年で62～75%である。人工血管を使用した内シャントの開存率はさらに悪く、1次開存率は1年で40～54%、2年で18～30%、2次開存率は1年で59～65%、2年で40～60%であり、長期血液透析患者は頻回の狭窄解除処置を受けなくてはならない。高開存率の透析用人工血管が開発できれば、患者負担と医療費の大幅削減が可能である。Diamond-like-carbon(DLC)というコーティング素材がある。カーボンを主成分とし、生体適合性に非常に優れた無機コーティング素材である。コーティング時にプラズマを使用し、高熱となるため、金属用コーティング素材であったが、近年常温下でのコーティング技術が開発された。人工血管に応用すれば、開存率の向上に役立つ可能性がある。当研究室ではDLCをePTFE人工血管内面に施す技術を開発し、DLCコーティングePTFE人工血管を作成し、ePTFE人工血管の内シャントにおける開存率向上を目指している。(著者抄録)

Expanded-polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) generally exhibits good compatibility with blood in the form of a vascular graft material; however, the small diameter grafts exhibit a low patency rate. ePTFE, with a diameter of less than 6 mm, is usually not used to perform a bypass surgery because of its high occlusion rate due to thrombosis or thick neointimal formation. Therefore, to improve the patency rate of ePTFE, coating the inner surface of ePTFE using Diamond-like Carbon (DLC), which exhibits outstanding biocompatibility, is investigated. However, in reality, medical applications for a long-sized tube that has a diameter of less than 6 mm with a DLC-coated inner wall are scarce. Hence, in this study, AC high-voltage methane plasma Chemical Vapor Deposition is employed to form the bio-compatibilized inner wall of a small-diameter long-sized medical tube, and a Hydrogenated Amorphous Carbon (a-C:H) deposition technique is developed. Further, methane plasma discharge is confirmed to be confined within the ePTFE vascular graft tube (inner diameter of 4 mm and an overall length of 150 mm) with the inner wall being successfully coated by the a-C:H film.

Inhaled nitric oxide (NO) is widely used to treat postoperative pulmonary hypertension in congenital heart disease. It is believed that NO increases cardiac output (CO) by decreasing pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), leading to increased left ventricular preload. However, the effect of NO on CO in patients with 1½ ventricle circulation remains unclear. To evaluate this, a superior cavopulmonary (SCP) shunt was constructed in 10 juvenile sheep. A PTFE graft was inserted between the superior vena cava (SVC) and the main pulmonary artery (PA). The SVC was clamped at the right atrial junction to establish a 1½ ventricle circulation. Flows, pressures, and arterial blood gases were recorded before and during inhalation of NO. Mean arterial pressure (46.6 ± 5.4 to 44.6 ± 5.9 mm Hg; p = 0.06) and left atrial pressure (4.0 ± 2.5 to 4.0 ± 2.3 mm Hg; p = 1.0) did not change. Mean PA pressure (13.6 ± 2.4 to 11.7 ± 2.9 mm Hg; p = 0.006) and PVR (5.47 ± 2.99 to 4.54 ± 2.61 Wood Units; p = 0.037) decreased significantly. SVC flow (24.8 ± 11.3 to 22.0 ± 9.7 ml/min/kg; p = 0.09) did not change, and CO decreased (140.2 ± 37.2 to 132.1 ± 39.2 ml/min/kg; p = 0.033). Arterial PO2 improved (103.72 ± 29.30 to 132.43 ± 47.02 mm Hg; p = 0.007). In this 1½ ventricle model, NO surprisingly decreased cardiac output (CO) and did not increase left ventricular preload.

Background: High-mobility group box 1 (HMGB-1) is a key substance mediating inflammation and development of atherosclerotic lesions (ALs), including abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). Serum levels of HMGB-1 are increased in patients with AAA than those in normal controls because the ALs in AAAs secrete HMGB-1. We therefore postulate that the serum HMGB-1 level should decrease after endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) or open aortic repair (OAR). However, there is no evidence of this in the literature. The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes in HMGB-1 levels after surgical intervention for AAA. We also aimed to determine if the HMGB-1 levels varied between the two procedures.
Methods: Serum HMGB-1 levels were determined in 24 patients with AAA and 25 healthy controls. Twelve of the 24 AAA patients underwent EVAR, whereas the other half underwent OAR. The relationship between HMGB-1 levels and presence of AAA or influence of operative methods on the serum HMGB-1 level were prospectively investigated.
Results: Serum HMGB-1 levels in AAA patients were significantly higher than those in healthy controls (9.4 +/- 5.7 vs. 4.1 +/- 2.0 ng/mL, P < 0.01). The serum HMGB-1 levels in both the EVAR group and the OAR group were significantly decreased from baseline at both 3 mo and 1 y after surgery.
Conclusions: Removal or isolation of AL via surgical intervention significantly decreases serum HMGB-1 levels. The significant postoperative reduction in HMGB-1 levels suggests that important endocrinological changes occur after surgical treatment of AAA.

Background and Aims
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and diabetes mellitus (DM) are considered as risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. The purpose of this study was to clarify the relationship of CKD and DM with the presence of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA).
Methods
We enrolled 261 patients with AAA (AAA+) and age-and-sex matched 261 patients without AAA (AAA-) at two hospitals between 2008 and 2014, and examined the association between the risk factors and the presence of AAA. Furthermore, in order to investigate the prevalence of AAA in each group, we enrolled 1126 patients with CKD and 400 patients with DM.
Results
The presence of CKD in patients with AAA+ was significantly higher than that in patients with AAA-(AAA+; 65%, AAA-; 52%, P = 0.004). The presence of DM in patients with AAA+ was significantly lower than that in patients with AAA-(AAA+; 17%, AAA-; 35%, P < 0.001). A multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that hypertension, ischemic heart disease and CKD were independent determinants, whereas, DM was a negatively independent determinant, for the presence of AAA. The prevalence of AAA in patients with CKD 65 years old and above was 5.1%, whereas, that in patients with DM 65 years old and above was only 0.6%.
Conclusion
CKD is a positively associated with the presence of AAA. In contrast, DM is a negatively associated with the presence of AAA in Japanese population.

To achieve the growth of right-sided heart structures, our choice of the first palliation for patients with pulmonary atresia and intact ventricular septum (PA-IVS) includes a modified Blalock-Taussig shunt (BTS) with pulmonary valvotomy. We sought to analyse the impact of the first palliation on the growth of right-sided heart structures and factors associated with a choice of definitive surgical procedure.
Fifty patients with PA-IVS who underwent a staged surgical approach from 1991 to 2012 were retrospectively reviewed.
Right ventricular (RV)-coronary artery fistulas were seen in 42% of patients at the time of birth. All 50 patients had a modified BTS with pulmonary valvotomy. Six patients died after the first palliation or inter-stage. Thirty patients achieved a biventricular repair (BVR group), 6 patients had a 1 + 1/2 ventricular repair (1 + 1/2V group) and 5 patients had a Fontan completion (Fontan group). After modified BTS with pulmonary valvotomy, tricuspid valve z-score did not increase in any of the group (BVR: pre -2.79 vs post -2.24, 1 + 1/2V: pre -5.25 vs post -6.69, Fontan: pre -6.82 vs post -7.94). Normalized RV end-diastolic volume increased only in BVR group after modified BTS with pulmonary valvotomy (BVR: pre 32% vs post 64%, 1 + 1/2V: pre 43% vs post 42%, Fontan: pre 29% vs post 32%). Major RV-coronary artery fistula was a strong factor with proceeding single-ventricle palliation [BVR: 4/30 (13%) patients, 1 + 1/2V: 1/6 (17%) and Fontan: 4/5 (80%)].
Tricuspid valve growth was not obtained by modified BTS with pulmonary valvotomy; therefore, tricuspid valve size at birth appeared to be a predictor for achieving BVR. Proportionate RV growth was seen only in patients who achieved BVR. However, RV growth was not seen in patients having 1 + 1/2 ventricular repair. Major RV-coronary artery fistula was a strong predictor for proceeding single-ventricle palliation.

Background The surgical outcomes of hypoplastic left heart syndrome with intact atrial septum remains very poor in spite of the introduction of prenatal diagnosis before the Norwood operation. The hybrid operation consisting of bilateral pulmonary artery banding and balloon atrioseptectomy is one of the treatment strategies to potentially improve this patient population, however, the long-term outcomes are unknown. Methods Six consecutive patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome with intact atrial septum, who underwent the hybrid operation between October 2006 and July 2014, were retrospectively reviewed. Hypoplastic left heart syndrome with highly restrictive atrial communication was excluded. Results Three patients died after the hybrid operation, due to sepsis, cerebral bleeding, and heart failure. Three patients underwent the modified Norwood operation. One of these died due to severe hypoxia while awaiting the bidirectional Glenn operation. The others underwent a bidirectional Glenn operation and subsequent Fontan completion but died due to lung dysfunction and sudden hemoptysis. Conclusions The hybrid operation for hypoplastic left heart syndrome with intact atrial septum may have improved the neonatal outcome and Fontan completion rate in this extremely high-risk group of patients, but the long-term outcome remains dismal. Considering the late mortality related to pulmonary complications, aggressive fetal intervention to create a nonrestrictive atrial septal communication to promote normal development of the pulmonary vessels may be the last resort to improve the long-term outcome.

Durable mechanical support in situations of physiologic single ventricle has been met with little success so far, particularly in small children. We created an animal model to investigate whether pulsatile or continuous flow would be superior. Three 1 month old sheep (10-16kg) were instrumented. Via sternotomy and with cardiopulmonary bypass, a large ventricular septal defect and atrial septal defect were created. The left ventricle was cannulated using a Berlin Heart inflow cannula. This was connected sequentially to a continuous flow device (Thoratec HeartMate X, Pleasanton, CA) and to a pulsatile device (Berlin Heart Excor, The Woodlands, TX). Outflow was via a Y-graft to both aorta and pulmonary artery, striving for equal flow to both. Atrial filling pressures were controlled with volume infusions over a wide range. Under comparable loading conditions, significantly higher maximum flow was obtained by HeartMate X than by Excor (4.95 +/- 1.27L/min [range, 3.84-6.34L/min] for HeartMate X vs. 1.80 +/- 0.85L/min [range, 1.01-2.7L/min] for Excor; p < 0.05). Judging from this limited animal study, in single ventricle scenarios, continuous flow devices may achieve higher pump flows than pulsatile devices when provided with similar filling pressures. Their clinical use should be investigated. More extensive experimental studies are needed.

Telemetric physiological monitoring systems (TPMS) have enabled accurate continuous measurement of animal blood pressures and flows. However, few studies describe approaches for use of TPMS in the great vessels or inside the heart. We describe our initial experiences using two types of TPMSs. Twelve lambs (20-37 kg) underwent sternotomy. Two lambs were not instrumented and were killed at 14 days to confirm normal sternal wound healing (sham group, n = 2). Ten lambs underwent placement of either standard indwelling pressure-monitoring catheter and perivascular-flow-probe (CFP group, n = 3) or TPMS implantation (TPMS group, n = 7). The TPMS used were EG1-V3S2T-M2 (EG1, n = 5; Transonic Endogear Inc.) and Physio Tel Digital L21 (PTD, n = 2; Data Sciences Inc.). Two deaths because of respiratory problems occurred in TPMS group, attributed to lung compression by the implanted device. In TPMS group, more consistent trends of blood pressures and flows were recorded, and management of animals was easier and less labor-intensive. Comparing the two TPMSs, the initiation and renewal costs for each case was $28 K vs. $20 K and $1,700 vs. $0, (PTD versus EG1, respectively). In conclusion, TPMS implantation was feasible via median sternotomy in lambs. Telemetric physiological monitoring systems significantly improve reliability of hemodynamic monitoring in chronic survival animal study. EG1 was less costly than PTD.

OBJECTIVES: In cases of severe Ebstein's anomaly, it is essential to determine whether biventricular repair (BVR) or single-ventricle palliation is feasible. Since 1999, in our institution, we have used the novel technique comprising tricuspid valve (TV) closure and right ventricular and right atrial (RV/RA) exclusion to reduce the deleterious effects of an enlarged RV in patients with severe Ebstein's anomaly. However, in cases with good RV function, primary BVR is performed. In the present study, we describe our surgical strategy in the treatment of severely symptomatic neonates with Ebstein's anomaly.
METHODS: From June 1999 to October 2011, 12 neonates with a severely symptomatic Ebstein's anomaly underwent surgical repair. The mean age at the first operation was 29 +/- 25 (range, 5-92) days; and the mean body weight was 2.8 +/- 0.5 (range, 2.0-4.1) kg. The associated anomalies included pulmonary atresia with an intact ventricular septum in 7, critical pulmonary stenosis in 1, ventricular septal defect in 3 and coarctation of the aorta in 1 patient. The mean cardio-thoracic ratio (CTR) was 80 +/- 14% (range, 57-98%). Preoperatively, 9 patients had grade IV tricuspid regurgitation (TR), as detected by echocardiography, and 6 required ventilator support.
RESULTS: Five patients underwent primary BVR. Seven patients underwent staged palliation using a modified Blalock-Taussig shunt (BT shunt) with/without RV/RA exclusion. There was 1 case each of hospital death and late death. The median follow-up duration in the present study was 6.5 years. Among the 8 patients who underwent TV repair, postoperative TR was trivial or mild in 6 patients, moderate in 1 and absent in 1. After surgery, the mean CTR and serum B-type natriuretic peptide levels decreased to 59 +/- 14% (range, 45-70%) and 46 +/- 28 (range, 12-83) pg/dl, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS: Critically ill neonates with Ebstein's anomaly can be successfully treated using RV/RA exclusion combined with a modified BT shunt in cases where RV function is poor. However, in cases of good RV function, we recommend the use of primary BVR.

Background. The Fontan operation for patients with one available lung is an extremely challenging situation. However, few reports are available on this procedure. The purpose of this study was to describe outcomes of one-lung Fontan operation.
Methods. A retrospective multicenter study was performed. Twelve of 1,142 patients whose data were recorded here underwent one-lung Fontan operation between September 1989 and October 2009. Preoperative, operative, and postoperative data were reviewed.
Results. Median age at operation was 3.5 years (range, 1.0 to 22.8), the preoperative mean pulmonary pressure was 11.5 +/- 3.3 mm Hg (range, 7.0 to 18.0), the ventricular ejection fraction was 58% +/- 13% (range, 39 to 76), and end-diastolic ventricular pressure was 7.5 +/- 3.5 mm Hg (range, 1.0 to 12.0). The available lung was right in 9 patients and left in 3 patients. Eleven patients underwent a two-staged Fontan completion. Extracardiac conduit total cavopulmonary connection, intraatrial extracardiac conduit total cavopulmonary connection, and atriopulmonary connection were performed in 10 patients, 1 patient, and 1 patient, respectively. The estimated actuarial survival was 83% at 1year, 73% at 5 years, and 73% at 10 years. Impaired ventricular function was found to be a significant risk factor for mortality by univariate analysis (43.0% +/- 9.5% versus 64.0% +/- 9.5%, p < 0.01), but not by multivariate analysis.
Conclusions. One-lung Fontan operation can be performed with an acceptable midterm to long-term mortality rate in patients without impaired ventricular function. Thus, absence of one lung itself is not a contraindication to the Fontan operation. (Ann Thorac Surg 2012; 94: 1275-80) (C) 2012 by The Society of Thoracic Surgeons

Atrionatriuretic peptide (ANP) is reported to be useful for attenuating myocardial ischemiareperfusion injury and improving left ventricular function after reperfusion. However, ANP may be either ineffectual or harmful in cases where the myocardium has been chronically hypoxic since birth. This can be a result of the concomitant high levels of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) produced within the myocardium. This study aimed to verify the validity of using ANP to improve left ventricular function after myocardial ischemiareperfusion injury. For this purpose, a cyanotic congenital disease model that was developed using isolated rat hearts was used. Hearts were obtained from Sprague-Dawley rats that were housed from birth until 6 weeks of age either in a hypoxic environment with 1314% FiO2 (hypoxic group) or in ambient air (normoxic group). These hearts were subjected to 30 min of normothermic global ischemia followed by 30 min of reperfusion using the Langendorff technique. Left ventricular functional recovery in hearts administered ANP (0.1 mu M) into the reperfusion solution was compared with those hearts that were not administered ANP in both hypoxic (without ANP: n = 6, with ANP: n = 6, with ANP and HS-142-1[an antagonist of ANP]: n = 6) and normoxic hearts (without ANP: n = 6, with ANP: n = 6). In the hypoxic hearts, ANP administration improved the percent recovery of the left ventricular developed pressure (76.3 +/- 9.2% without ANP vs. 86.9 +/- 6.7% with ANP), maximum first derivative of the left ventricular pressure (82.4 +/- 1.1% without ANP vs. 95.8 +/- 6.5% with ANP), and heart rate (85.6 +/- 4.7% without ANP vs. 96.1 +/- 5.2% with ANP) after reperfusion. The improvement and recovery of these cardiac functions were closely related to significantly increased levels of postischemic cGMP release after ANP administration. The effect of ANP was blocked by HS-142-1. The improvements observed in the hypoxic group were similar to those found in the normoxic group. ANP administration during reperfusion improved left ventricular function after myocardial acute global ischemiareperfusion equally in both the chronically hypoxic and age-matched normoxic groups.

Objective: A lateral tunnel-total cavopulmonary connection (LT-TCPC) using a right atrial (RA) free wall is the first choice of treatment for patients with a small body weight in this institute. Whether the growth of the LT is appropriate or not according to the growth of the body remains controversial. In addition, the optimal initial diameter of an LT is unknown. The purpose of this study was to verify the growth of the LT. Methods: Ninety-one patients of a total of 267 TCPC cases underwent an LT-TCPC at less than 5 years of age in this institute between March 1991 and June 2008. The data on 47 of the 91 patients, which were available to investigate the LT growth, were retrospectively reviewed. The mean age at LT-TCPC was 37 +/- 11 months (16-57 months). The mean body weight at TCPC was 12.4 +/- 2.4 kg (7.6-20.0 kg). The initial LT diameter was determined with Hegar's sizer of the estimated half-pulmonary arterial (PA) diameter, which is a diameter that results in half of the dimension of the normal pulmonary valve. The measured maximum LT diameter (mm) divided by the estimated half-PA diameter (mm) was considered as the LT index. The size of the LT was evaluated using either echocardiography or angiography. Results: The mean follow-up period was 7.4 +/- 3.5 years (1.6-13.5 years). The LT index was initially 2.0 +/- 0.7(1.3-4.5), 2.0 +/- 0.4(1.3-3.2) at 1 year after operation, 2.1 +/- 0.5 (1.5-3.2) at 5 years after operation, 1.9 +/- 0.4 (1.5-2.8) at 10 years after operation and 2.1 +/- 0.5 (1.6-2.5) at 13 years after operation, respectively. Conclusions: LT growth suitable for the body growth can be expected. Although there was some variation in the initial LT diameter, the LT index tended to converge at 2.0 with growth.

The purpose of this study was to establish a useful cut-off level for performing an original Rastelli-type operation in patients with transposition of the great arteries (TGA)/ventricular septal defect (VSD) or double outlet right ventricle (DORV). A total of 43 patients with TGA/VSD or DORV who underwent an original Rastelli-type operation in this institute between March 1993 and January 2009 were reviewed retrospectively. These patients were divided into two groups using the length between the top of the interventricular septum and the aortic valve (IVS-AV length); Group A; IVS-AV length <80% of normal left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVDd). Group B; IVS-AV length >= 80% of normal LVDd. Group A had a significantly better survival than Group B (100% vs. 56%, P=0.001). The cardiac event-free survival were 89.1% at 7.2 years in Group A and 26.3% at 8.4 years in Group B (P<0.0001). The Group B had a higher incidence of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO; 3% vs. 33%, P=0.02). The IVS-AV length was found to be a significant risk factor for mortality and LVOTO. The IVS-AV length should, therefore, be taken into consideration when selecting the optimal surgical procedures for these patients.

Objective. Whether chronic hypoxia attenuates myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury remains controversial because confl icting data have been reported probably due to the existence of many factors infl uencing the functional recovery of hearts. These factors include the differences of species, the time at which hypoxia begins, the degree of hypoxia, and so on. Regarding chronic hypoxia from birth, so far the only available data are based on fi ndings in rabbit hearts. The purpose of this study was to describe the effect of chronic hypoxia from birth on myocardial reperfusion injury in the rat heart. Methods. Normoxic hearts were obtained from rats housed in ambient air for 6 weeks (normoxic group)
hypoxic hearts were obtained from rats housed in a hypoxic chamber (13%-14% oxygen) from birth for 6 weeks (hypoxic group). Isolated, crystalloid perfused working hearts were subjected to 30 min of global normothermic ischemia followed by 15 min of reperfusion
functional recovery was then measured in the two groups. The excretion of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) in the coronary drainage was measured at the end of the preischemia and reperfusion periods. Results. The percent recovery of the left ventricular developed pressure and the fi rst derivative of left ventricular pressure were signifi cantly better in the hypoxic group than in the normoxic group. cGMP excretion in the coronary drainage was signifi cantly increased during both the preischemia and reperfusion periods. Conclusion. Chronic hypoxia from birth increased myocardial tolerance to ischemia-reperfusion injury with increased cGMP synthesis in the isolated heart model in rats. © The Japanese Association for Thoracic Surgery 2010.

The high-flow management of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB; >= 2.4 L/min/m2) is a standard strategy used at this institute for children with pulmonary atresia (PA) due to a fear that the blood flow may be diverted by the major/minor aortopulmonary-collateral-arteries and hypervascularization due to long-term hypoxia. The purpose of this study was to describe the validity of high-flow management in children with PA. The CPB records of 23 children with PA who underwent a definitive biventricular repair between Feb 2006 and Nov 2008 were retrospectively reviewed. The mean age at the operation was 33 +/- 22 months. The blood-pressure during bypass was controlled with the same protocol. The mean cooling-temperature was 28.4 +/- 3.7 degrees C. The mean minimum hematocrit was 25.0 +/- 3.4%. The mean maximum bypass flow index at the initiation, the mean maximum flow index during aortic cross-clamping, the mean minimum flow index during aortic cross-clamping, and the mean maximum flow index after rewarming were 3.1 +/- 0.5, 3.1 +/- 0.5, 2.6 +/- 0.4, and 3.2 +/- 0.4 L/min/m2, respectively. The higher bypass flow indexes significantly correlated with the lower serum lactate levels. The lowest oxygen delivery during CPB had significant influences on the urine output during bypass (R = 0.547, P = 0.007), the serum lactate levels at the end of CPB (R = -0.442, P = 0.035), and the postoperative thoracic effusion (R = -0.459, P = 0.028). A bypass flow index of 2.4 L/min/m2 may not be sufficient and the maximum requirement of bypass flow index may be 3.2 L/min/m2 or more in this patient population.

Background. Adult patients who do not fulfill the classical Fontan criteria now undergo total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC). However, limited information is available on the results for high-risk adult TCPC.
Methods. Twenty-five consecutive adult patients (aged 16 years or more) who underwent TCPC were retrospectively reviewed. The mean age at operation was 27 +/- 9 years (range, 16 to 52). The following items were considered as the potential risk factors according to previous reports: (1) aged more than 30 years (7 of 25); (2) heterotaxy (9 of 25); (3) systemic ventricular ejection fraction less than 50% (6 of 25); (4) atrioventricular valve regurgitation moderate or greater (6 of 25); (5) pulmonary arterial index less than 200 (7 of 25); (6) mean pulmonary arterial pressure 15 mm Hg or greater (3 of 25); (7) pulmonary arterial resistance 2.0 wood units or greater (11 of 25); (8) arrhythmias (13 of 25); (9) protein-losing enteropathy (3 of 25); (10) New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class III or greater (9 of 25); (11) previous Fontan procedure (10 of 25); (12) systemic ventricular outflow obstruction (1 of 25); and (13) end-diastolic pressure of the systemic ventricle 11 mm Hg or higher (4 of 25).
Results. The mean follow-up period was 57 +/- 45 months (range, 0 to 154). All patients had at least 2 risk factors (range, 2 to 8). There was 1 early death and 2 late deaths. Comparing the late survivors and nonsurvivors, no statistical significance was identified in the above risk factors. However, the patients with 6 or more risk factors had a significantly higher mortality rate than patients with fewer than 6 risk risk factors (p < 0.01). Age (p = 0.08), NYHA class (p = 0.13), and protein-losing enteropathy (p = 0.08) may be risk factors for late death.
Conclusions. The majority of the adult TCPC candidates tolerated the TCPC procedure in the early postoperative period. However, the accumulation of risk factors influences late mortality.

A 35-year-old man with a history of total correction of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) fell down while riding a bike and experienced blunt cardiac rupture. His vital signs were stable because the bleeding was limited by an adhesion caused by the previous operation. Chest computed tomography clearly displayed the ruptured points, and an emergency operation was performed. Because a pneumothorax was suspected, a cardiopulmonary bypass was established with a femorofemoral bypass while the patient was conscious before artificial ventilation was initiated. Two ruptured points were detected on the anterior wall of the right ventricle and were repaired by suturing. The patient recovered and was discharged without any major complications 40 days after the operation. This is the first published case of blunt cardiac rupture after total correction of TOF. © 2008 The Japanese Association for Thoracic Surgery.

We report a case of 75-year-old man who underwent an apicoaortic bypass for severe aortic stenosis. The patient had a porcelain aorta accompanied by a severely calcified aortic annulus. We used a woven polyester vascular graft instead of a rigid apical connector because the latter material cannot be obtained in Japan. Postoperative examination showed no compression or stenosis in the apical outflow. A woven polyester vascular graft is therefore considered suitable for an apicoaortic bypass. © 2007 The Japanese Association for Thoracic Surgery.

Introduction

Spinal cord ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) injury is one of the most devastating complications after thoracic and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm surgery. Several studies showed that levels of HMGB1 in serum were increased in patients who suffered from spinal cord I/R injury. These data strongly suggest that HMGB1 may play a crucial role in spinal cord I/R injury.

Materials and Methods

Male New Zealand white rabbits were used for the experiments. The abdominal aorta at the level of the left renal artery was exposed, and, after heparinization, occluded for 11 minutes. The rabbits were intravenously administered an anti-HMGB1 mAb (#10-22, 2mg/kg) or class-matched control IgG (anti-keyhole limpet hemocyanin mAb) twice immediately and 6h after reperfusion. The neurological findings were assessed at 6, 24 and 48 hours after reperfusion. At 48hr after reperfusion, the rabbits were sacrificed to obtain the specimen of spinal cord and blood samples.

Results

Administration of anti-HMGB1 mAb ameliorated the intensity of spinal cord infarction and preserved the number of motor neuron cells, in association with decreased activated microglia and astrocyte. Consequently, anti-HMGB1 mAb significantly improved the neurological outcomes after spinal I/R injury in rabbits.  These results strongly indicate that HMGB1 plays a critical role in the development of spinal cord I/R induced secondary injury through the amplification of inflammatory response.

Conclusion

Intravenous injection of neutralizing anti-HMGB1 mAb has potential as a novel therapeutic strategy for spinal cord I/R injury.

BACKGROUND: Previous studies demonstrated that the incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) was significantly increased when patients aged ≥40 years had surgical atrial septal defect (ASD) closure (sASD). However, limited information is available on such findings in transcatheter ASD closure (tASD). The purpose of this study was to investigate the incidence of newly developed AF after tASD in patients aged ≥40 years in whom preoperative AF or atrial flutter (AFL) had not been detected and to compare with the incidence after sASD. METHODS: The medical records of patients aged ≥40 years without a history of AF or AFL who underwent tASD (n = 281) or sASD (n = 24) were reviewed. Patients who had catheter ablation before the ASD closure were excluded. Patients with a patent foramen ovale were also excluded. The incidence of newly developed AF after ASD closure and the risk factors for that were evaluated statistically. RESULTS: Eleven patients had newly developed AF (5 in tASD and 6 in sASD) postoperatively including 6 persistent AF (3 each after tASD and sASD). The cumulative incidence of newly developed AF was 0.7% in tASD and 16.7% in sASD, and 2.7% and 20.8% at 1 and 5 years, respectively (p < 0.001). ASD diameter ≥30 mm and sASD were potential risk factors for newly developed AF after ASD closure and postoperative persistent AF. CONCLUSIONS: In patients aged ≥40 years without a history of AF or AFL, the incidence of newly developed AF after tASD closure was lower than that after sASD. A large ASD more than 30 mm diameter was a potential risk factor for development of AF even if it is closed by transcatheter procedure. Further long-term evaluation after tASD is required to clarify preventive benefit for new onset AF in adult ASD population.

60歳男性。自宅にて突然、左上肢麻痺が出現して他院へ救急搬送された。頭部MRI拡散強調像で右分水嶺領域に高信号域を認め、脳梗塞と診断された。Alteplaseの初期投与が行われたが、血圧と意識レベル低下を認め、アレルギー性ショックと診断、精査加療目的で著者らの施設の脳神経外科に救急搬送された。頭部MRIでは右総頸動脈への解離伸展による前大脳動脈、右中大脳動脈の分水嶺梗塞がみられ、胸腹部造影CTでは右総頸動脈は閉塞していたが、逆行性灌流により外内頸動脈分岐の末梢は描出されていた。以上、これらの所見を踏まえて、本症例はStanford A型大動脈解離と確定診断され、心臓血管外科へ紹介となった。治療はalteplase投与後であることに加え、挿管鎮静下で循環コントロールが容易なため緊急手術は行わず、意識確認後、4日目に手術の施行となった。術中所見では人工心肺を開始し、上行大動脈を遮断後、切開によりsino-tubular junction直上の後壁にエントリーを認め、中枢解離腔をBioGlueで固定して、26mm 4分枝のJ Graft Shield Neoを縫着した。次いで脳分離体外循環を開始し、左鎖骨下動脈分岐直前で遠位吻合して左総頸動脈と分枝を端々吻合後に腕頭動脈内腔を確認し、偽腔内の血栓を可及的に除去してBioGlueで固定、分枝と端々吻合した。最後に太い人工血管同士を吻合して手術を終了した。その結果、術後5日目の造影CTでは右総頸動脈の良好な開存を認め、術後40日目に患者は独歩退院となった。

症例は58歳女性。42歳時に脳出血後左片麻痺となり、50歳時に深部静脈血栓に伴う肺塞栓症にて左総腸骨静脈内に下大静脈フィルターが留置されていた。その後、フィルター部の左総腸骨静脈完全閉塞となり、続いて左下肢腫脹を伴う症候性動静脈瘻(arteriovenous fistula:AVF)が出現した。近医にて左鼠径部AVF結紮術を試みたが、有効ではなかった。当院にて両大腿静脈間圧較差30mmHg以上を確認の上、両大腿静脈間自家静脈バイパス(Palma bypass)を施行した。術後は、左下肢の腫脹軽減および静脈圧低下を認めた。本邦では、Palma bypassの報告例が少ないが、片側性腸骨静脈閉塞に動静脈瘻を合併した症例に対し、有用な手術方法と考えられた。(著者抄録)

考えられうる胎児手術の中で、体外循環を用いた胎児手術は最も実現困難で挑戦的な治療法である。現在ではカテーテルによる、先天性心疾患を有する胎児への治療が臨床で実用化され、一部の疾患に対しては、胎児期への治療介入がその後の患児の心臓の発達をより正常な方向へ誘導する可能性が示唆されている。しかしながら、カテーテルで治療介入できる範囲は限定的で、TAPVC、HLHS、PA/IVS、Ebstein奇形等では、外科的手技により、より高度な胎児期治療介入が可能であれば、その後の心臓の発達を改善する可能性があると考えられる。1985年にRichterらが初めて、胎児に体外循環を導入する動物実験を報告し、その後様々な発展を経てきたが、約30年を経過した今でも、未だにヒトに体外循環を用いた胎児手術を行い、成功した例はない。体外循環を用いた胎児心臓手術開発の現況とその可能性について報告する。(著者抄録)

Myxoma is the most common primary cardiac tumor in adults; however, it is extremely rare in infants. Acute occlusion of the abdominal aorta by a cardiac myxoma is also rare. We report the case of an infant with acute occlusion of the suprarenal abdominal aorta by a left ventricular myxoma. The patient underwent successful catheter embolectomy of the abdominal aorta and surgical resection of the cardiac myxoma. This is a very rare case report of the combination of infantile left ventricular myxoma and acute occlusion of the abdominal aorta. (C) 2015 by The Society of Thoracic Surgeons

Primary graft failure (PGF) caused by ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is the strongest determinant of perioperative mortality after heart transplantation. Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) has been found to reduce the IRI of cardiomyocytes and may be beneficial in alleviating PGF after heart transplantation, although there is a lack of evidence to support this issue. The purpose of this study was to investigate the cardioprotective effects of ANP after prolonged hypothermic storage. For this purpose, an isolated working-heart rat model was used. After the preparation, the hearts were arrested with and stored in an extracellular-based cardioplegic solution at 3-4 degrees C for 6 h and followed by 25 min of reperfusion. The hearts were divided into four groups (n = 7 in each group) according to the timing of ANP administration: Group 1 (in perfusate before storage), Group 2 (in cardioplegia), Group 3 (in reperfusate), and control (no administration of ANP). Left ventricular functional recovery and the incidence of ventricular fibrillation (VF) were compared. ANP administration at the time of reperfusion improved the percent recovery of left ventricular developed pressure (control, 45.5 +/- 10.2; Group 1, 47.4 +/- 8.8; Group 2, 45.3 +/- 12 vs. Group 3, 76.3 +/- 7; P &lt; 0.05) and maximum first derivative of the left ventricular pressure (control, 47.9 +/- 8.7; Group 1, 46.7 +/- 8.8; Group 2, 49.6 +/- 10.8 vs. Group 3, 76.6 +/- 7.5; P &lt; 0.05). The incidence of VF after reperfusion did not differ significantly among these four groups (71.4, 85.7, 57.1, and 85.7% in Groups 1, 2, 3, and control, respectively). This result suggests that the administration of ANP at the time of reperfusion may have the potential to decrease the incidence of PGF after heart transplantation.

Heterotaxy syndrome is a mortality risk factor for patients with complex heart disease. These patients often have common atrioventricular valve (CAVV) morphology and significant atrioventricular valve regurgitation - yet another mortality risk factor in congenital heart disease. Thus, patients with both heterotaxy syndrome and atrioventricular valve regurgitation are at highest risk of mortality. A large number of patients with heterotaxy syndrome have CAVV and a functional single ventricle. These patients are more difficult to operate than patients with biventricular morphology because in the former, the CAVV is often less adapted to systemic afterload than the mitral valve. Herein, we present the results of atrioventricular valve repair surgeries performed at the Okayama University Hospital on patients with heterotaxy syndrome, atrial isomerism, and a functional single ventricle. In addition, we review the current literature in this typically challenging patient population. In-depth understanding of reasonable management strategies and resolution of technical issues will help guide surgeons during this procedure. © 2012 Elsevier Inc..

Purpose: This study sought to show the heterogeneity of myocardial blood flow in the chronically hypoxic infantile myocardium and its response to reoxygenation using a novel type of digital radiography. Methods: Newborn rats were housed in a hypoxic chamber or in a normal chamber (controls). After 4 or 8 weeks, the control rats were ventilated with normoxic conditions, and the rats housed under hypoxia were ventilated with either hypoxic (cyanotic group) or normoxic conditions (reoxygenation group). Desmethylimipramine labeled with tritium (HDMI) was injected into the left ventricle, and both ventricular free walls were sectioned and sliced from the subepicardium to the subendocardium at 10 mm thickness. The within-layer distribution of HDMI density was measured by digital radiography, and its spatial heterogeneity (i.e., flow heterogeneity) was quantified by the coefficient of variation (CV) of flows. Results: There were no differences in the CV between the groups in either ventricle at 4 weeks of age and no differences in the right ventricle at 8 weeks of age. There was a trend toward a higher left ventricular CV in the cyanotic group than in the control group at 8 weeks of age (0.637 ± 0.099 vs. 0.510 ± 0.060, P = 0.06). At 8 weeks of age, the CV was lower in both ventricles in the reoxygenation group than in those of the control and cyanotic groups. Conclusion: The chronically hypoxic infantile myocardium exhibits regional flow heterogeneity similar to that observed in the normal myocardium in both ventricles and exhibits reduced flow heterogeneity in response to reoxygenation. © 2011 The Japanese Association for Thoracic Surgery.

Objective: The Damus-Kaye-Stansel operation sometimes results in deteriorating semilunar valve insufficiency. We verified the semilunar valve function after the Damus-Kaye-Stansel operation and compared the end-to-side Damus-Kaye-Stansel with the double-barrel Damus-Kaye-Stansel.
Methods: Forty-seven patients who underwent the Damus-Kaye-Stansel operation between June 1993 and August 2008 were retrospectively reviewed. Any patient who underwent a Norwood-type operation was excluded. The median age at operation was 19 months (range, 0-276 months). Forty-five patients were Fontan candidates. Thirty-nine patients underwent pulmonary artery banding before the Damus-Kaye-Stansel operation. Twenty-two patients had undergone an arch repair previously. The semilunar valve function was evaluated by echocardiography.
Results: Thirteen patients underwent the end-to-side Damus-Kaye-Stansel operation, and 34 patients underwent the double-barrel Damus-Kaye-Stansel operation. The mean follow-up period was 71 +/- 50 months (range, 1-188 months). Although there were 4 deaths, no death was related to the Damus-Kaye-Stansel procedure. Two of the patients with early death could not undergo a postoperative evaluation of the semilunar valves. The semilunar valve regurgitation mildly deteriorated in 7 patients (pulmonary regurgitation in 5 patients and aortic regurgitation in 2 patients). Pulmonary regurgitation deteriorated from none to mild in 1 patient, none to trivial in 2 patients, and trivial to mild in 2 patients. Both deteriorations in aortic regurgitation ranged from none to trivial. Semilunar valve regurgitation did not affect patients&apos; circulatory condition. The end-to-side Damus-Kaye-Stansel operation more frequently caused a deterioration in pulmonary regurgitation than the double-barrel Damus-Kaye-Stansel operation (4/11 vs 1/34, P=.001). No surgical intervention for a systemic ventricular outflow obstruction was observed in the follow-up period.
Conclusions: The double-barrel Damus-Kaye-Stansel operation was found to be superior to the end-to-side Damus-Kaye-Stansel operation for the prevention of postoperative pulmonary regurgitation. (J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 2011;141:193-9)

The anatomy of a persistent left superior vena cava (SVC) to the left atrium (LA) without the innominate vein can make it challenging to complete intracardiac repair. We reviewed our five cases of the direct end-to-side anastomosis of SVCs to facilitate anatomical repair of SVC-right atrial connection for biventricular repair. Diagnoses were two partial atrioventricular septal defect with left isomerism, one complete atrioventricular septal defect (CAVSD) with left isomerism, one CAVSD without isomerism and one atrioventricular discordance and double outlet right ventricle with right isomerism. Mean age at the operation was 20 +/- 23 months (4-58 months) and body weight was 7.8 +/- 3.4 kg (4.8-12.7 kg). After completion of intracardiac repair, the SVC to LA was divided and end-to-side anastomosed to the SVC to the right atrium during cardiopulmonary bypass. No early or late death occurred during follow-up of 14.4 +/- 6.9 months (7-23 months). None of the patients developed an obstruction at the anastomosis site of the SVCs. The direct end-to-side anastomosis of SVCs achieved an excellent anatomical SVC-right atrium connection in complex congenital heart diseases.

Careful rewarming of perfusion blood following cardiopulmonary bypass surgery is critical to a successful outcome, but the optimal rewarming strategy is not clear. The purpose of this study was to derive a formula for a rewarming index (defined as [rewarming time perfusion flow]/[body weight body surface area]) that would enable the calculation of the ideal rewarming conditions for pediatric cardiopulmonary perfusion. We retrospectively investigated 220 pediatric cardiopulmonary bypass operations conducted from July 2005 to June 2008 in Okayama University Hospital, Japan. We determined the formula as Phi = (T x Q)/(R x S) = |0.9127P - 0.0152|, where Phi = rewarming index, T = rewarming time (min), Q = perfusion volume (L), R = body weight (kg), S = body surface area (m(2)), and P = temperature gap (L). The formula will help those who perform pediatric cardiopulmonary bypass surgery to establish ideal perfusion flow conditions and to control physiological temperature during rewarming.

Objective: Although a staged Fontan strategy allows for an excellent outcome in high-risk patients, an impaired ventricular function remains a significant factor of early/late mortality and morbidity. This study evaluated the clinical outcome of the Fontan operation in patients with impaired ventricular function. Methods: A retrospective review was performed on 217 patients who had undergone the Fontan operation between 1991 and 2007. Results: Twenty-nine (13%) of the 217 patients had an impaired ventricular function (ejection fraction (EF) &lt;50%). The median age at the time of the operation was 3 (range: 1-31 years) years. There were five adult patients. The ventricular morphology was right in 20 patients (including five hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS)) and others (left and two-ventricle) in nine patients. Heterotaxy syndrome was present in eight patients. Previous surgical interventions included bidirectional Glenn anastomoses in 24, modified Blalock-Taussig shunts in two and pulmonary artery banding in two. The preoperative EF was 43 +/- 6%. Significant (moderate or severe) atrioventricular valve regurgitation was noted in four patients. The percutaneous oxygen saturation (SpO(2)) was 82 +/- 5%. The pulmonary artery pressure and pulmonary artery index were 11 +/- 3 mmHg and 296 +/- 102 mm(2) m(-2)., respectively. All 29 patients underwent the Fontan operation without any early mortality. There were two late mortalities and two re-operations. EF was maintained at 59 +/- 15% at a median follow-up of 7.5 (range: 1-19) years. The percent normal systemic ventricular end-diastolic volume decreased from 174 +/- 95% to 124 +/- 39% (p &lt; 0.05). The SpO(2) increased to 92 +/- 2%. The mean cardiothoracic ratio in chest X-ray and B-type natriuretic peptide were 51% (range: 35-68%) and 22 pg ml(-1) (range: 9-382 pg ml(-1)), respectively. Three patients developed congestive heart failure, seven had arrhythmia and two developed protein-losing enteropathy. The New York Heart Association (NYHA) class functional class is I in 21 patients, I I in five and III in one. Conclusions: Acceptable clinical outcomes were observed at an intermediate follow-up of the Fontan operation in patients with an impaired ventricular function.

This study evaluated the effects of chronic hypoxia from birth on the resistance of rat hearts to global ischemia, with special emphasis on the duration of hypoxia. Male Wistar rats were housed from birth for 4 weeks or 8 weeks either in a hypoxic environment (FiO(2) = 0.12) or in ambient air (8 animals for each group). Isolated rat hearts were perfused for 40 min with oxygenated Krebs-Henseleit buffer, subjected to 20 min global no-flow ischemia at 37 degrees C, and then underwent 40 min of reperfusion. A non-elastic balloon was inserted into the left ventricle and inflated until the pre-ischemic LVEDP rose to 8 mmHg. Cardiac function was measured before and after ischemia. The post-ischemic percent recovery of LVDP in hypoxic hearts was worse than in normoxic hearts (4 weeks: 55 +/- 7 vs. 96 +/- 3%, p &lt; 0.01; 8 weeks: 40 +/- 5 vs. 92 +/- 4 %, p &lt; 0.01), and was worst in the 8-week-hypoxic hearts. Similarly, the percent recovery of +dP/dt in the hypoxic hearts was lower than in the normoxic hearts (4 weeks: 51 +/- 5 vs. %. 7 %, p &lt; 0.01; 8 weeks: 31 +/- 6 vs. 92 +/- 7 %, p &lt; 0.01), and was lowest in the 8-week-hypoxic hearts. In conclusion, cyanotic myocardium revealed an age-dependent vulnerability to ischemia-reperfusion injury in a chronic hypoxic rat model.

This retrospective study analyzed the current practice of blood transfusion-free open-heart surgery in 536 children weighing 5-20 kg undergoing surgery between 2004 and 2007. A miniaturized cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) circuit was used (priming volume; 300 ml for the flow rate &lt;1,500 ml/min; 550 ml for the flow rate of 1500-2300 ml/min). Modified ultrafiltration was routinely performed. Criteria for blood transfusion during CPB included a hematocrit of &lt;20% and/or mixed venous oxygen saturation of &lt;65%. Transfusion during CPB was avoided in 264 (49.3%) of the 536 patients (5-10 kg group, 29.0%; 11-15 kg group, 67.4%; 16-20 kg group, 80.8%). There was no neurological complication related to hemodilution. Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that body weight, preoperative hematocrit, priming volume of CPB circuit, CPB time, and lowest hematocrit during CPB predict requirement of blood transfusion (P &lt; 0.01). Transfusion rate was lowest in the atrial septal defect group (5.6%) and highest in tetralogy of Fallot group (78.7%), being associated with complexity of diagnosis and procedure required. Blood transfusion-free open-heart surgery may be achieved in the half of the patients weighing 5-20 kg, and further miniaturization of CPB circuit and refinement of perfusion strategy might reduce transfusion rate in patients &lt;10 kg and/or with complex congenital heart disease.

新生児・乳児体外循環の復温技術について考察した。岡山大学病院で2005年1月から2006年12月までに行われた新生児・乳児体外循環症例のうちSorin社製膜型人工肺D901を使用した151例について後方視研究を行った。その結果、Φ:復温係数(L/kg/m2)、T:復温時間(min)、P:温度較差(℃)、Q:灌流量(L/min)、R:体重(kg)、S:体表面積(m2)とすると、Φ=(T*Q)/(R*S)=1.2803P+3.8323の式が算出された。この復温係数とは復温時間に灌流量を乗じ、体重と体表面積で除したものと定義した。復温係数を用いることで、新生児・乳児体外循環の復温過程における適正な灌流量の維持と復温予測時間の算出が可能であり、理論的で科学的な復温操作が行える可能性が示唆された。(著者抄録)

Background The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of modified ultrafiltration (MUF) on neonates with transposition of the great arteries (TGA) undergoing arterial switch operation.
Methods and Results The current study included 36 neonates who underwent an arterial switch operation between 1998 and 2006. Arterio-venous MUF was done in 15 patients (MUF-treated group) and the other 21 patients were controls. Parameters included hematocrit, hemodynamics, pulmonary function, drain loss, leak of peritoneal fluid, length of intubation, and intensive care unit (ICU) stay. The hematocrit increased from 34 +/- 2% to 47 +/- 4% in the MUF-treated group. Blood pressure in the MUF-treated group was significantly increased without any change of central venous or left atrial pressure. Post-operative oxygenation in the MUF-treated group was greater than that of the control group (P/F ratio: 258 +/- 92 vs 170 +/- 100 mmHg, p &lt; 0.05), which did not contribute to decrease in intubation time (54 +/- 33 vs 52 +/- 29h, p=NS). Post-operative chest drain loss and peritoneal fluid leak were comparable. The ICU stay in the MUF-treated group was significantly shorter than that in the controls (101 +/- 34 vs 139 +/- 42 h, p &lt; 0.05).
Conclusions MUF brought improvement in blood pressure and gas exchange capacity and subsequent shorter ICU stay. MUF did not have significant impact on intubation time and capillary leak.

We describe a successful case of surgical treatment for anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) syndrome with severe left ventricular dysfunction. Because of the severe left ventricular dysfunction, we planned to use an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for heart support until a satisfactory recovery had been established. The left ventricular function significantly recovered in a few days, and the patient could be discharged without any complications.

79歳男.既往として慢性膵炎に対する膵管空腸吻合術施行があった.S状結腸癌に対しS状結腸切除術を施行され,術後2日目に腹膜炎症状を呈し,再開腹術が施行された.正中創直下の腹壁右方に癒着した小腸壁穿孔が認められ,縫合閉鎖術が行われた.しかし,再びドレーンより消化液の流出が認められたため,正中創のopen drainageが施行された.その後,全身状態が徐々に悪化した.ドレーン等の洗浄等により加療し,全身状態の改善が認められたが,その後,発熱,白血球,CRPの上昇が認められた.腹部CTで左側腹部に長径10cm大の内部にガス像を伴った異常陰影が認められた.後腹膜膿瘍か拡張腸管かの鑑別が困難であり,ガストログラフィンを用いた注腸造影を併用した腹部CTを行い,結腸が造影され,異常陰影が後腹膜膿瘍であると診断された.切開排膿術を施行し,間欠的吸引器を用いた膿瘍腔の洗浄を行い,全身状態は徐々に改善した.第41病日の腹部CTにて膿瘍腔の消失が認められた
