Abstract

The radial artery as a graft for myocardial revascularization was introduced by Carpentier in the early 1970s. Mid-term results were unfortunately discoura ing, and the clinical experience with this graft was interrupted. At the end of the 1980s, these authors reproposed the same arterial conduit with more satisfying results, because of improved technique and pharmacological management of the graft. Between October 1994 and July 1995, 36 patients underwent myocardial revascularization with a radial artery graft in Seiong General Hospital. Left internal mammary artery was concomitantly used as a pedicled Vift in 34 patients. Fifteen patients (42%) had a complete arterial waft revascularization. A total of 12) distal anastomoses were performed (average 3.4 per patient), including 36 left internal mammary artery wafts (two sequential in 2 patients), and 23 saphenous vein grafts. The remaining 64 distal anastomoses were perFormed with radial artery grafts (mean 1.8 per patient). The radial arteries were anastomosed to the circumflex (n=38), diagonal (n= 18), right coronary(n=G), and left anterior descending coronary artery(n=2). The percent ge of radial artery graft anastomoses (64) to the total anastomoses(123) was 52%. The radial artery was used as a single graft in 10 patients, as a sequential graft in 25 patients, and two grafts in 1 patient. Twenty patients underwent associated procedures coronary endarterectomy (14), coronary artery patch angioplasty (4), mitral valve repair (1), and repair of ventricular septal rupture (1). One patient died of low cardiac output syndrome and the others had no perioperative myocardial infarction. There are no ischemic and functional complications in the arm or hand aftcr removal of the radial artery. Only 1 patient required reexploration of the am, for the hematoma evacuation, and 2 patients complained transient thumb dysesthesia of the side of the havested arm. This dysesthesia improved within one month. Postoperative angiovaphic controls were obtained in 11 patients(31%) postoperative 79 to 210 days (mean 126 days). The patency rate were as follows : left internal mammary artery (100%), saphcnous vein (100%), and radial artery(95%). We concluded that the radial artery is useful alternative graft, but long term clinical and angiographic studies are required to derterminc whether wider application is warranted.

요골동맥을 이용한 관상동맥 우회 술은 1970년대초 처음 도입되었으나 요골동맥 연축(spasm)에 의한 이식편의 부전으로 사용이 중지되었으나, 1980년대 후반 칼슘 길항제등 새로운 연축 방지제의 개발과 요골동맥 채취방법(harvesting technique)의 개선으로 다시 사용하게 되었다. 저자들은 1994년 10월부터 1995년 7월까지 총 36례에서 요골동맥 자유이식 편을 이용하륵 관상동맥우 회술을 시행하였다. 이들중 34례에서 좌측 내흉동맥을 동시에 사용하였으며 15례(42%)에서는 모든 이 식편을 동맥이식 편으로 사용하였다. 총 123개의 원위부 문합중(환자당 평균 3.4개) 좌측 내흉동맥을 사용한 문합이 36개,복재정맥을 이용한 문합이 23개였으며 나머지 64개의 윈위부 문합은 요골동맥을 사 용하였고(환자당 평균 1.8개), 요골동맥을 이용한 문합이 전체문합수의 52%를 차지하였다. 요골동맥이 식편의 원위부 문합장소는 좌측회선지(circunflex artery)가 38개, 사선지(diagonal artery)가 18개, 우측 관상동맥이 6개, 좌전하행 지(left anterior descending artery)가 2개로 분포하였다. 요골동맥을 하나의 이 식편으로 사용한 경우가 10례, 순차적문합으로 사용 \ulcorner경우가25례 및 두개의 이식 편으로 나누어 사용 한 경우가 1례였다. 관상동맥 우회 술과 동반된 수술로는 관상동맥 내막절제술이 14례, 관상동맥 포편성 형술(patch angioplasy)이 4례, 승모판막 재건술이 1례, 심근경색후 심실중격파열 봉합술이 1례였다. 수 술후 합병증으로는 요골동맥을 채취한 측의 엄지손가락 감각이상이 2례, 술후 출혈이 1례,저심박출증 으로 좌심실보조장치 1례등이 있었으며 이중 좌심실보조장치를 시행한 1례에서 사망하였다. 조기추적 관상동맥 조영술은 생존한 35례중 11례(31%)에서 수술후 79일에서 210일(평균 126일)에 시행하여 좌측 내흉동맥 및 복재정맥은 100%, 요골동맥은 95%의 개방률을 보였다. 생존한 환자 모두에서 협심증의 재 발은 없었다. 결론적으로 본 연구에서는 아직 증례의 부족과 짧은 추적기간으로 요골동맥 이식편의 우 월성은 입증할 수 없으나 단기적으로 만족할만한 것으로 향후 더 많은 경험의 축적과 장기적 인 추적이 요할 것으로 사료된다.
