기관지 동맥류는 드물긴 하지만 파열의 위험성이 높고 파열시에는 치명적이므로 발견 즉시 치료를 요하는 질환이다. 20년 전부터 기관지 확장증으로 치료 받아 오던 78세 여자 환자가 종격동 종양이 발견되어 전원되었다. 경피적 기관지 동맥 색전술을 시행하였으나 실패하여 수술을 시행하였다. 수술은 개흉술 하에 심폐바이패스의 도움 없이 유입 및 유출 동맥을 결찰하고 동맥류 제거술을 시행하였다. 환자는 특별한 합병증 없이 수술 후 8일 만에 퇴원하였고 오래 추적 검사상 이상 소견 얼었다.

A 71-year-old male with known bronchiectasis and atrial fibrillation was admitted to Seoul St. Mary's Hospital with recurrent transient ischemic attack. R adiofrequency ablation was performed to resolve the patient's atrial fibrillation, but failed. However, a fistula between the left circumflex artery and the bilateral bronchial arteries was found on computed tomography. Fistula ligation and a left-side maze operation were planned due to his recurrent symptom of dizziness, and these procedures were successfully performed. After the operation, the fistula was completely divided and no recurrence of atrial fibrillation took place. A coronary-bronchial artery fistula is a rare anomaly, and can be safely treated by surgical repair.

Background: Recently, many institutions have acquired multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) systems. This made it easier and more convenient to use MDCT as a initial diagnostic modality for hemoptysis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of MDCT before bronchoscopy and/or bronchial arterial embolization (BAE) for hemoptysis. Methods: We studied a total of 125 patients with hemoptysis who underwent, between 2006 and 2008, MDCT in a routine protocol before bronchoscopy and/or BAE. One hundred two patients underwent bronchoscopy and 29 patients underwent BAE. We compared the usefulness of MDCT and bronchoscopy for detecting the bleeding site and identifying the cause. We also evaluated our ability, using MDCT, to detect instances where the bronchial artery caused hemoptysis. Results: The rate of detection of a bleeding site was 75.5% on MDCT and 50.9% on bronchoscopy. MDCT and bronchoscopy detected the bleeding site in agreement in 62.7% of patients. MDCT alone found the bleeding site in 27.5% of cases. MDCT identified the cause of hemoptysis in 77.5% and bronchoscopy in 11.8%. In 29 patients who underwent BAE, we detected a total of 37 hypertrophied bronchial arteries that were causing hemoptysis. Of 37 bronchial arteries, 23 (62.2%) were depicted on MDCT. Conclusion: MDCT is superior to bronchoscopy for detecting the bleeding site and identifying the cause of hemoptysis. MDCT can also predict the side of affected bronchial artery with depiction of hypertrophied bronchial artery and localizing the bleeding site. Doing MDCT before bronchoscopy and BAE can provide a guideline for the next step.

A bronchial artery aneurysm (BAA) is uncommon and usually associated with chronic inflammatory lung disease or a systemic vascular condition, which is rarely the etiology of mediastinal hemorrhage. A middle-aged person presented with spontaneous hemothorax and hemomediastinum. A diagnostic evaluation identified a bronchial artery aneurysm as the source. To prevent further rupture, we performed a bronchial artery embolization. In the absence of trauma or other causes for hemothorax and mediastinal hemorrhage, the possibility of a BAA should be considered. A bronchial artery aneurysm can be managed by interventional techniques as well as surgery.

연구배경 : 기관지 동맥색전술은 일시적 혹은 영구적인 지혈효과를 기대할 수 있고, 지혈효과이외에도 수술이 불가능한 환자나 수술이 필요한 환자의 경우에 수술전 환자상태를 호전시키기 위한 목적으로 이응퇴고 있다. 저자들은 대량객혈환자에서 동맥색전술의 효과 및 객혈의 재발율을 알아보고 재발된 환자의 임상적, 방사선학적 특징과 임상경과 및 예후를 조사하여 동맥색전술의 유용성을 평가해보고자 하였다. 그리고 색전술후에 재출혈이 일어나는 원인과 재발을 예측할 수 있는 인자를 알아보고자 하였다. 방법 : 객혈을 주소로 입원한 환자중 1회 100cc이상, 1일 500cc이상의 대량객혈로 동맥색 전술을 시행한 47명의 환자를 대상으로 의무기록과 혈관조영술 사진을 후향적으로 조사하였다. 결과 : 1)대량객혈의 원인질환으로는 폐결핵(35예), 기관지확장증(5예), 국균종(2예), 폐암(2예) 폐동정맥기형(1예)와 원인미상(2예)이 있었다. 2) 기관지 동맥색전술의 지혈성공율은 94%였으며, 추적관찰중 객혈의 재발은 40%였다. 3) 초기 기관지 동맥조영술 소견상 색전대상이 양측성인 경우, 체측부동맥-폐동맥간단락이 있는 경우, 기관지동맥이외의 체측부동맥이 영양동맥으로 관여한 경우와 과도한 신생혈관형성이 있었던 경우 등 이들 모두에서 재출혈군과 비재출혈군 사이에서 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 4) 재색전술을 시행한 경우는 18예(13명)였다. 이들 중 14예(78%)에서 혈관의 재개통이 있었으며, 8예(44%)에서 초기에 색전하지 못하였던 혈관들의 과증식으로 인한 새로운 영양동맥의 형성에 의한 재출혈이 있었다. 5) 동맥색전술의 합병증은 발열, 흉통, 기침, 배뇨장애 등 경미한 합병증이 대부분(27예,87%)이었고, 마비성장폐색, 무기폐, 하반신마비, 비장경색 등 장기합병증이 각각 1예씩으로 13%를 차지하였다. 결론 : 기관지 동맥색전술은 대량객혈시 지혈율이 높고 심각한 합병증의 빈도가 적어 효과적이면서도 비교적 안전하게 시행할 수 있는 치료방법으로 사료된다. 대량객혈시 초기 기관지 동맥조영술 소견으로 색전술후 재발을 예측하기는 어려우며, 재출혈이 있는 경우 대부분의 원인은 이전 색전동맥의 재개통과 새로운 영양동맥의 형성이 관여함을 알 수 있었다.

Massive and untreated hemoptysis is associated with a mortality of greater than 50 percents. Since the bleeding was from a bronchial arterial source in the vast majority of patients, embolization of the bronchial arteries has become an accepted treatment in the management of massive hemoptysis because it achieves immediate control of the patients. We have controlled massive hemoptysis in a case with selective bronchial arteral embolization with Gelfoam.

Systemic arterial supply from the descending thoracic aorta to the basal segment of the left lower lobe without a pulmonary arterial supply is a rare congenital anomaly within the spectrum of sequestration lung disease. The most common pattern of anomalous systemic artery to the lung arises from the descending thoracic aorta and feeds the basal segments of the left lower lobe. We report an extremely rare case of a 29-year-old woman who underwent a successful left upper lobectomy for the treatment of recurrent massive hemoptysis from anomalous bronchial arterial supply to the lingular segment of left upper lobe.

A 8 year old male was admitted to the Department of Thoracic Surgery, Korea University Hospital on June 22, 1978. The chief complaints were cyanosis and exertional dyspnea since at birth. EKG shows BVH and dextrocardia, phonocardiogram revealed the accentuation of second heart sound in aortic area. Echocardiogram from the left ventricle to the base of the heart, there is a discontinuity between the ventricular septum and the anterior aortic margin with a large aortic root & aortic overriding. His cardiac catheterization data and cardiac angiogram shows situs inversus totalis, dextrocardia, right aortic arch, large ventricular septal defect etc., and finally diagnosed Truncus Arteriosus. Edwards type IV with retrograde aortogram and selective bronchial angiogram. This is the first operative case reported as Rastelli operation for Truncus Arteriosus type IV in the literatures in Korea. Authors have experienced I case of Truncus Arteriosus, Edward type IV and Rastelli operation with Dacron Arterial Conduit Graft under cardiopulmonary bypass on July 3, 1978. The procedures were as follows; 2] Cardiopulmonary bypass: Origin of bronchial arteries excised from descending aorta bilaterally; defects in aorta closed. 2] Horizontal incision made high in right ventricle. 2] Ventricular septal defect [Kirklin type I+II] closed with Teflon patch. 4] Bifurcated dacron arterial graft with pericardial monocusp sutured to the bilateral pulmonary arteries. [Diameter 9 mm: Length 7 cm]. 5] Proximal end of the conduit graft anastomosed to right ventricle. [Diameter 19 mm: Length 5 cm]..Total perfusion time was 220 min. The result of operation was poor due to anastomotic leakage and increased pulmonary vascular resistance resulting acute right heart failure. The patient was died on the operation table. Literatures were briefly reviewed.

This study was conducted to observe the condition of the ramifications of the bronchus and pulmonary blood vascular system by injecting the vinylite into the bronchial tree and pulmonary blood vessels in 100 normal adult dogs. The results obtained were summarized as follows: 1. Lungs of dog were composed of the same pulmonary territories as in lungs of human. 2. Cardiac lobe corresponding to R.medio-bassalis of human lungs was well developed and situated as a independent cardiac lobe, in ventral side of right lung. 3. Bronchial tree were in the patterns of axial divergency and blood vascular systems were (in general) branched along the bronchial tree, arteries lying near the bronchial tree but veins apart from it. 4. Among the branching patterns of bronchus pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein in each lobe, the type presented most frequently were noted, which were designated basic type by the author. 5. Pulmonary blood vessels were not always branched in accordance with bronchial tree, diverged inmore complex patterns, especially in venous vascular system. 6. Ramus anterior (lobe apicalis) was always observed in all casting specimen. 7. There was a case of peculiar variation patterns of the ramification in the bronchi directing into the left apical and cardiac lobe, arose respectivelly, at independent origin of bifurcation in the left bronchial stem, and a case of peculiar variation pattern of the artery entering left apical lobe and cardiac lobe, had a same origin of the bifurcation at rami pulmonary artery, and then divided respectivelly into the rami medi artery and rami left apical lobe artery. 8. In the classification based on the patterns of bronchial and blood vasculor divergencys, there were a lot of significant combination cases in their patterns.
