Abstract

Background: Owing to the fact that the average life span has increased and the progress in medical science has been made, the number of patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) who have to take hemodialysis (HD) has been going up gradually. Accordingly, it is considered to be as a significant issue to obtain blood vessels which can be used repetitively and supply enough blood flows. Therefore, there have been various kinds of study on an inosculation rate andfactors influencing it following an arteriovenous fistula (AV fistula) and lots of studies are ongoing for the purpose of escalating the inosculation rate. The authors analyzed the effects of short-term result, age, sex, diabetes and hypertension on arteriovenous inosculations in 134 anatomical snuffbox operated subjects among the patients who have taken an AV fistula at this center. Material and Method: Based on 134 patients who underwent an AV fistula at the department of thoracic surgery of this center from July, 2000 to May, 2004, the difference in arteriovenous inosculation rate was compared and analyzed depending or age (discriminated by 65-year-old), sex and the condition of the presence or absence of diabetes and hypertension. Correlation analyses were conducted for each parameter and statistical tests were performed by using SPSS for windows Release 11.0.1, which were determined to be statistically significant if p value was below 0.05. Result: The total number of operations was 169 including 35 of re-operations. The male/female rate was 70 : 64 (52% : 48%). The average age was $56.3{\pm}12.26$ years and there were 33 (24%) old aged patients above 65-year-old; there were 103 (71%) patients with hypertension and 90 (67%) patients with diabetes. Overall arteriovenous inosculation rate was $93{\pm}2.4%,\;91{\pm}2.7%,\;89{\pm}3.0%$ at 6, 12, 24 months, respectively. The arteriovenous inosculation rate of above 65-year-old patient group was $85{\pm}4.8%,\;80{\pm}5.8%,\;80{\pm}5.8%$ and below 64-year-old patient group's was $85{\pm}4.8%,\;80{\pm}5.8%,\;80{\pm}5.8%$ at given time points, respectively, which showed higher inosculation rate in below 64-year-old patient group with a statistical significance (p=0.0034). However, no statistical significance was found between the patients with hypertension and diabetes and the patients with no complication. In addition, there was no statistical significance in inosculation rate between male and female. Conclusion: The arteriovenous inosculation ratewas higher in the treated patient below 64-year-old than in the treated patient above 65-year-old. Thus it is advantageous for increase in long-term inosculation rate to obtain hemodialysis routes at an early age. The conditions of sex and the presence or absence of diabetes and hyper- tension do not make statistically significant effect on the arteriovenous inosculation rate.

배경: 평균 연령의 증가와 의학의 발전으로 인하여 만성신부전으로 혈액투석을 받아야 하는 환자의 수가 점점 증가하고 있으며, 이에 따라 장기간 반복적으로 사용할 수 있고 충분한 혈류량을 제공할 수 있는 혈관의 확보는 중요한 과제로 대두되고 있다. 따라서 동정맥루조성술 후의 개통률과 이에 영향을 미치는 요소들에 대해 많은 연구가 시행되었고 개통률의 증가를 위하여 많은 연구가 계속되고 있다. 이에 저자들은 본원에서 동정맥루조성술을 시행받은 환자 중 해부학적 코담배갑에서 수술받은 134명의 환자를 대상으로 개통률의 단기 성적과 나이, 성병, 당뇨와 고혈압이 동정맥루 개통에 미치는 영향에 대해 분석하였다. 대상 및 방법: 본원 흉부외과에서 2000년 7월부터 2004년 5월까지 해부학적 코담배갑에서 동정맥루조성술을 시행한 134명의 환자를 대상으로 나이(65세 기준)와 성별, 당뇨와 고혈압의 유무에 따른 동정맥루 개통률의 차이를 비교 분석하였다. 이들 각 인자들에서 상관분석을 시행하였으며 SPSS for windows Release 11.0.1를 사용하여 통계처리 하였으며 P값이 0.05 이하일때 통계적으로 유의한 것으로 판정하였다. 결과: 재수술 35건을 포함한 전체 수술 수는 169건이며 남녀비는 70 : 64 (52% : 48%)였고 평균연령은 $56.3{\pm}12.26$세이며 65세 이상 고령환자는 33명(24%), 고혈압 환자는 103명(71%), 당뇨 환자는 90명(67%)이었다. 전체 동정맥루의 6개월, 12개월, 24개월의 개통률은 각각 $93{\pm}2.4%,\;91{\pm}2.7%,\;89{\pm}3.0%$이며 65세 이상인 환자군의 동정맥루 개통률은 각각 $85{\pm}4.8%,\;80{\pm}5.8%,\;80{\pm}5.8%$, 64세 이하인 환자군의 개통률은 각각 $99{\pm}1.3%,\;99{\pm}1.3%,\;97{\pm}2.3%$로 두군 사이의 통계적 유의성(p=0.0034)을 보여 64세 이하인 환자군에서 개통률이 더 좋은 결과를 보였다. 그러나 동반 질환 중 고혈압과 당뇨를 가진 환자와 그렇지 않은 환자에서는 통계적인 유의성이 없었다. 또한 남녀 간의 개통률도 통계적인 유의성을 보이지 않았다. 결론: 65세 이상의 환자에서보다 64세 이하 환자에서 시행한 동정맥루의 개통률이 더 우수하였다. 따라서 젊은 나이에 혈액 투석로를 확보하는 것이 장기 개존율 향상에 유리하다. 성별과 당뇨 그리고 고혈압의 유무는 동정맥루 개통률에 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미치지 않았다.
