Abstract

Background: The Fogarty thromboembolectomy catheter technique was devised to extract distal arterial emboli and it represents a milestone for the treatment of patients with acute arterial occlusion since the 1960s. The major causes of arterial occlusion have changed from emboli of a heart origin to atherosclerosis over the past 30 years. Accordingly, questions have been raised about the effectiveness of simple Fogarty thromboembolectomy. Material and Method: During the period from March 1990 through August 2008, 156 patients who requiring Fogarty thromboembolectomy were analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups: those with simple Fogarty thromboembolectomy (Group 1, 79 patients) and those with additional vascular bypass graft surgery (Group 2, 77 patients). The duration of symptoms, the cause of thrombi, admission via the emergency room, a history of acupuncture or misdiagnosis, combined diseases, the anatomic occlusion site and the cause of death were analyzed using T-tests, cross tab tests, Chi square tests and Kaplan-Meier tests, respectively. Result: The mean age was 64$\pm$10 years in the 2 groups. The duration of symptoms (pain) in Group 1 vs Group 2 was 12$\pm$4 days vs 71$\pm$14 days (p=0.001). 50 (63%) patients in Group 1 were admitted via the emergency room vs 18 (23%) patients in Group 2 (p=0.005). Misdiagnosis and the treatment for herniated intervertebral disc or acupuncture were given to, 20 (25%) patients in Group 1 vs 30 (39%) patients in Group 2. Anticoagulation treatment before admission was performed in 22 (28%) patients in Group 1 vs 11 (14%) patients in Group 2. The causes of thrombi were heart disease in, 24 (30%) patients in Group 1 vs 6 (8%) patients in Group 2 (p=0.001), atherosclerosis in 46 (58%) patients in Group 1 vs 67 (87%) patients in Group 2 (p=0.001) and trauma in 9 (11%) patients in Group 1 vs 6 (8%) patients in Group 2. The combined diseases were cerebrovascular accident, hypertension and diabetes mellitus in 22 $\sim$ 37% of the total patients. The occlusion sites were mainly in the iliac and femoral arteries. Endarterectomy was performed in 7 (9%) patients in Group 1 vs 18 (23%) patients in Group 2 (p=0.012). Treatment was successful in 27 (34%) patients in Group 1 and in 40 (52%) patients in Group 2 (p=0.019). Reocclusion occurred in 37(47%) patients in Group 1 vs 20 (26%) patients in Group 2 (p=0.000), Amputation was done in 4 (5%) patients in Group 1 vs 12 (16%) patients in Group 2 (p=0.012) and death occurred in 10 (13%) patients (Group 1) vs 3(4%) patients (Group 2) (p=0.044). Conclusion: The recent past has shown a decline in the effectiveness of simple Fogarty thromboembolectomy with a changing pattern of acute arterial occlusion from a rheumatic heart origin to atherosclerosis. Additional bypass procedures play a role for the treatment of arterial occlusion instead of always performing simple Fogarty thromboembolectomy.

배경: Fogarty 카테터는 원위부 동맥 색전을 제거하기 위하여 고안되었으며 1960년대 이래로 급성혈전색전의 치료에 획기적인 치료법이 되었다. 그러나 지난 30년동안 동맥폐쇄의 주원인이 심장에서 비롯하는 색전으로부터 죽상동맥경화증으로 변화하였으며 이런 맥락에서 단순 Fogarty 혈전색전제거술이 여전히 효과가 있는지 의문점이 생긴다. 대상 및 방법: 1990년 3월부터 2008년 8월까지 본원에서 Fogarty 혈전제거술을 시행한 156명을 대상으로 하였다. 환자를 혈전제거술만 시행한 79명(제 1 군)과 혈관우회수술을 같이 시행한 77명(제 2 군)으로 나누어 증상의 기간, 혈전의 원인, 응급실 내원 여부, 한방치료 및 오진경험, 동반질환, 주발생부위, 사망원인 등을 후향적으로 T 검증, 교차분석, 카이제곱 및 Kaplan-Meier을 이용하여 비교분석 비교하였다. 결과: 두군 모두 환자의 나이는 평균 64$\pm$10세로 비슷하였다. 제1군과 2군의 다리 통증 기간은 평균 12$\pm$4일 vs 71$\pm$14일(p=0.001), 응급실 내원한 경우는 50명(63%) vs 18명(23%) (p=0.005), 디스크로 오인하여 치료를 받거나 침을 맞은 경우가 20명(25%) vs 30명(39%), 내원전 항응고제 치료 받은 경우는 22명(28%) vs 11명(14%), 혈전원인은 심장질환 24명(30%) vs 6명(8%) (p=0.001), 동맥경화증 46예(58%) vs 67명(87%) (p=0.001), 외상 9명(11%) vs 6명(8%)이었다. 동반질환으로는 뇌졸증, 고혈압 당뇨가 주를 이루었으며(22$\sim$37%), 막힌 부위는 대부분 장골 및 대퇴동맥이었다 우회수술은 58명(75%)에서 대퇴-대퇴 및 대퇴-슬와동맥간 우회수술을 시행했다. 내막절제술은 각각 7명(9%) vs 18명(23%)에서 동반시술이 이루어졌다(p=0.012). 수술의 성공율은 27명(34%) vs 40명(52%) (p=0.019), 다시 막힌 경우는 37명(47%) vs 20명(26%) (p=0.000), 하지절단 4명(5%) vs 12명(16%) (p=0.012), 사망 10명(13%) vs 3명(4%) (p=0.044)으로 의의있는 차이를 보였다. 결론: 최근 급성동맥폐쇄증의 원인이 류마티스 심장질환에서 동맥경화성 질환으로 변화함으로서 단순한 Fogarty 혈전색전 제거술의 효과가 줄어들고 있어 이러한 단순 시술 대신에 부가적인 우회수술법이 고려되어야 할 것이다.
