당뇨는 고혈압, 고지혈증, 흡연과 함께 관상동맥질환을 일으키는 4대 주요한 위험요인 중의 하나이다. 당뇨를 가지고 있으면 관상동맥질환, 뇌졸중, 말초동맥질환을 비롯한 동맥경화성 심혈관질환에 걸릴 위험이 증가한다. 관상동맥질환은 당뇨병환자에서 높은 유병율을 가지며 당뇨병환자의 사망원인의 75%는 죽상동맥경화와 관련이 있고 그 중 75%는 관동맥질환이다. 과거에 관동맥질환이 없는 당뇨병환자에서 급성심근경색의 발생위험은 현재 관동맥질환이 있는 환자와 같으며, 특히 여성에서 관동맥질환 사망위험도는 비당뇨여성의 5$\sim$8배로 현저히 높다. 치료법의 현저한 발전으로 관동맥질환의 사망률이 많이 줄어들었지만 당뇨병환자에서는 여전히 높은 상태이다.

Peripheral arterial disease(PAD) is a major health problem in the elderly population, so prevalence of PAD is investigated using Edinburgh claudication questionnaire. Subjects were over 65 years old in the kyeongsan county. The prevalence of PAD was 9.0% in total population(8.5% in men, 9.3% in women). definite claudication was 3.9%, atypical claudication was 5.1%. and, grade 1 was 4.4%, grade 2 was 4.6%. The prevalence of PAD was increased with age but not statistically significant. There was no difference of PAD by gender and smoking. PAD was significantly associated with systolic blood pressure positively. But, unexpectedly, PAD was significantly associated with BMI negatively. PAD are important elderly health problem in the our country. So the etiology and preventive methods of PAD will be researched on our country population.

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is common in elderly patients. Lower-extremity CT angiography (LE-CTA) can be useful for detecting PAD and planning its treatment. PAD can also be accurately evaluated on reconstructed monoenergetic images (MEIs) from low kiloelectron volt (keV) to high keV images using dual-energy CT. Low keV images generally provide higher contrast than high keV images but also feature more severe image noise. The noise-reduced virtual MEI reconstruction algorithm, called the Mono+ technique, was recently introduced to overcome such image noise. Therefore, this pictorial review aimed to present the imaging findings of PAD on LE-CTA and compare low and high keV images with those subjected to the Mono+ technique. We found that, in many cases, the overall and segmental image qualities were better and metal artifacts and venous contamination were decreased in the high keV images.

A 47-year-old male with hypertension, diabetes mellitus and heavy smoking, but no anginal symptoms, presented with claudication of the lower extremities. Extremity angiography with coronary angiography revealed peripheral arterial lesions including a left subclavian artery occlusion with coronary artery disease. The patient underwent an initial off-pump coronary artery bypass with an ascending aorto-axillary bypass. The right internal mammary artery was anastomosed to the left anterior descending coronary artery. The greater saphenous vein graft was connected from the ascending aorto-axillary bypass graft to the diagonal branch. At postoperative day 18, femorofemoral and bilateral femoropopliteal bypasses were performed. We report a case of the combined repair of coronary artery disease and a left subclavian artery occlusion.

대혈관 합병증은 중간크기 이상의 혈관(동맥 및 정맥)에서 동맥경화증이나 죽상경화증에 의한 변화로 발생하는 질환으로 관상동맥, 뇌혈관 및 말초혈관에 주로 발생하며 당뇨병환자의 주된 사망원인과 관련이 있기 때문에 매우 중요합니다. 당뇨병환자에서 대혈관 합병증인 죽상경화증은 가장 흔하고 중대한 만성합병증으로 관상동맥질환에 의한 관상동맥질환, 말초혈관질환 및 뇌혈관질환이 발생합니다. 발생률은 당뇨병이 없는 사람에 비해 2$\sim$5배 높으며 제 2형 당뇨병뿐만 아니라 제 1형 당뇨병환자의 주된 사망원인이 됩니다. 대혈관 합병증과 관련된 질환은 유병기간이 오래된 당뇨병환자에서 이환율, 장애 정도, 사망률 및 치료비용에 심각한 영향을 미칩니다. 당뇨병환자의 사망은 대부분이 대혈관 합병증과 관련이 있으며, 이중에서도 관상동맥질환으로 인한 사망률이 2$\sim$4배 증가합니다. 당뇨병성 만성합병증은 건강관리를 위한 지출에 상당히 영향을 미칩니다. 총 의료관리 예산의 약 25%가 당뇨병 및 당뇨병성 만성합병증의 치료에 지출됩니다. 위험요소를 감소시키거나 제거하면 만성합병증의 85%가 지연되거나 진행을 늦출 수 있습니다. 이것으로 미국의 경우 매년 170억 달러의 의료관리 예산을 절감할 수 있다고 합니다.

Peripheral arterial disease is an occlusive condition commonly involving the lower extremity vessels. When the aortoiliac region is affected by this disease, conventional management involves surgical bypass and endovascular treatment has been mainly recommended for patients with focal and simple lesions. It has been common strategy to perform endovascular treatment for selected patients with high surgical risk due to its minimally invasive nature. However, recent advances in the devices and techniques for endovascular treatment have resulted in its utilization for treating patients with various disease status and its clinical outcomes are comparable to those of conventional surgery. This review discusses the current diagnostic strategies for peripheral artery disease in the aortoiliac region, followed by the introduction of techniques and devices, and the role of endovascular treatment.

당뇨병환자의 주된 사망 원인은 심장병이다. 당뇨병환자는 동맥경화증이 잘 생기고 이와 관련해 협심증, 심근경색증, 말초혈관질환, 뇌졸중이 잘 생기는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그중에서 관상동맥이 동맥경화증에 의해 막혀 생기는 대표적인 심혈관질환이 바로 협심증과 심근경색이다.

심혈관계 질환(CVD, Cardiovascular disease, CHD, Coronary heart disease)은 심장의 관상동맥에 염증반응과 혈전으로 인해 죽상경화중이 생겨 관상동맥이 좁아지거나 막히는 결과를 초래하는 질환으로 관상동맥질환, 고혈압, 말초혈관질환, 협심증, 심근경색증, 중풍 등이 포함된다. 심혈관계 질환의 위험인자들에는 서구화된 식생활, 유전, 나이, 성, 고혈압, 당뇨, 고지혈증, 비만, 운동부족, 스트레스, 흡연, 가족력 등이 있다. 그러나 식생활의 변화로 인한 심혈관계 질환과 생화학적 지표의 변화 및 관련 기전에 대한 연구는 거의 없었다.(중략)

A retrospective analysis was performed on the 72 cases of peripheral artery occlusive disease treated at Yonsei Medical School Yongdong Severance Hospital, from March 1, 1990, through July 31, 1992, focusing on the operative procedures, surgical results and perioperative complications. The etiologic causes of vascular obstruction were atherosclerosis in 28 cases, Buerger's disease in 31, traumatic orgin in 7, operative complications in 4, and malignancy and arteritis in one case each. Treatment modalities, actually performed include bypass graft.(27), infusion of PGE1 (23), Embolectomy (16), Sympathectomy (4) and end-to-end anastomosis (2). There were 21 satisfactory cases and 9 unsatisfactory cases of atherosclerotive occlusive disease, defining the operative outcome as“satisfactory”if the obstructive symptoms disappeared completely and “unsatisfactory”if they did not. The patients of TAO induced Buerger's disease with preoperative Foutain class III or IV were surgically converted to class 0 in 14 cases, class I in 12 and class II in 3.

Peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) of the femoropopliteal artery is commonly caused by atherosclerosis. It can present with varying clinical symptoms depending on the degree of disease, ranging from intermittent claudication to critical limb ischemia and tissue loss. Therefore, appropriate and timely treatment is required to improve symptoms and salvage the affected limbs. Interventional approaches for femoropopliteal arterial disease commonly include percutaneous transluminal angioplasty, atherectomy, and stent placement. Over the years, endovascular recanalization has been widely performed for treating PAOD due to continuous developments in its techniques and availability of dedicated devices with the inherent advantage of being minimal invasive. In this review, we introduce various types of endovascular treatment methods, discuss the results of clinical research from existing literature, and illustrate the treatment procedures using representative images.
