The Assessment of Pulmonary Parenchymal Damage in Congenital Heart Disease using Lung Perfusion Scan
Hong Ryang Gil, Jae Goo Lee, Kang Uk Lee, Eun Ho Yi, Myung Ja Yun, Chung Il Noh, Jung Yeon Choi, Yong Soo Yun
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1998;41(5):640-645.   Published online May 15, 1998
Purpose : In acyanotic congenital heart disease of children with left to right shunt, 99mTc- Macroaggregate albumin(MAA) was employed to determine the scintigraphic severity of pulmonary parenchymal damage. Methods : These data of lung perfusion scan using 99mTc-MAA were compared with hemodynamic values obtained from cardiac catheterization. Results : The mean Pulmonary arterial pressure(≥30mmHg), total pulmonary resistance(≥2 Wood unit)...
Blade atrial septostomy in infants with cyanotic congenital heart diseases.
In Sook Park, Young Hwue Kim, Chang Yee Hong

In patients with certain types of congenital heart malformations, an adequate interatrial communi- cation is essential for survival and balloon atrial septostomy (BAS) is a life saving procedure in these infants. However, BAS alone is not successful in older infants and children with thickened atrial septum, and blade septostomy is indicated in these situations. This procedure so far has not been reported in Korean literature...
A Clinical Study on Hematological Findings in Children with Cyanotic Congenital Heart Disease.
Seong Ho Kim, Heung Jae Lee, Hahng Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1990;33(5):642-650.   Published online May 31, 1990
Children with cyanotic congenital heart disease (CCHD) and secondary polycythemia exhibit increased susceptibility to hemorrhage or thrombosis. The hemostatic disorder manifests itself by the occurrence of excessive hemorrhage after surgery, and by increased incidence of cerebrovascular accident of a thrombotic nature during life. To assess whether the severity of polycythemia in children with CCHD is correlated with coagula- tion abnormalities, hematologic studies with preoperative and...
Plasma Renin Activity (PRA) in Peripheral Vein and Renal Veins in Normotensive Children with Cyanotic Congenital Heart Disease.
Sang Kyu Park, Hae Il Cheong, Chung Il Noh, Yong Soo Yun, Yong Choi, Kwang Wook Ko
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1988;31(8):1021-1027.   Published online August 31, 1988
PRA’s in peripheral vein, both renal veins, and inferior vena cava (IVC) were measured in 25 normotensive children without renal disease undergoing cardiac catheterization for their underlying cyanotic congenital heart disease. And we presented the results as reference values/ranges of PRA in children. 1) There was no significant difference in PRA between both side renal veins at any absolute PRA levels with a mean ratio (RT/LT)...
