A 44-year-old woman presented with recurrent, transient episodes of left-side hemiparesis. She had received a radiation dose of 6120 cGy to her cervical region for parotid gland carcinoma 13 years previously. Cerebral angiography revealed a long, irregular tight stenosis involving the right extracranial internal carotid artery [ICA] and common carotid artery [CCA], measuring approximately 90% at the most severe narrowing according to North American Symptomatic Carotid Endarterectomy Trial criteria. Endovascular stent placement resulted in restoration of the carotid lumen to about 80% of its original diameter. She showed no further ischemic events during the follow-up period of 48 months. Our clinical and angiographic findings suggest that carotid stenting is considered a safe and effective treatment option in patients with radiation-induced carotid stenosis.

Seventeen cases of vascular injuries treated in Chungnam National University Hospital during the period from Apr. 1980 to Sep. 1988 were reviewed. Common causes of injuries were stab wound, automobile accidents and iatrogenic injuries. Of the 11 arterial injuries, 3 were femoral artery which was the commonest in frequency, the next was 2 cases of subclavian, common carotid, iliac artery. Of the 10 venous injuries, the subclavian vein and internal jugular vein were common in frequency. The most frequent type of injuries was laceration[13 cases in 21]. Vascular reconstruction was done by lateral suture repair in 8 cases, autogenous vein graft in 2, prosthetic vascular graft in 5, direct anastomosis in 1 case. Simple ligation was done in 5 cases. There was 1 case of visual field defect as a sequelae in right common carotid artery transaction and 1 case of mortality.

Coarctation of the aorta usually occurs just distal to the origin of the left subclavian artery, but may involve proximal to this vessel. One unusual type of coarctation of the aorta which located proximal to the left subclavian artery is presented. The patient was 23 year old soldier whose primary complaints were occipital headache and dizziness. Examination showed a unilateral hypertension in the right arm. The aortogram demonstrated coarctation between the left common carotid artery and left subclavian artery. On Jun. 14, 1983, patch graft aortoplasty was performed but failed due to pliable poststenotic aortic wall. And bypass graft from origin of the left common carotid artery to the descending thoracic aorta was performed. Postoperative course was uneventful for 4 months follows up periods. We now report a unusual type of coarctation of the aorta and its surgical treatment.

배경: 경동맥 내막절제술은 심한 경동맥 협착증이 있는 환자에서 발생 가능성이 높은 뇌졸중을 예방하는 데 효과적인 것으로 알려져 있으나 술 후 사망이나 뇌졸중 등의 심각한 합병증을 유발할 수 있다. 이에 저자들은 경동맥 협착증에 대한 수술적 치료의 결과를 분석하여 향후 수술의 합병증을 줄이고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1996년 2월부터 2004년 7월까지 경동맥 협착증으로 한 명의 술자에 의해 경동맥 내막절제술을 시행 받은 74명(76예)의 의무기록을 후향적으로 분석하였다. 결과: 남자가 64명, 여자가 10명이었고 평균연령은 63.6세($40{\sim}77$세)였다. 경동맥 내막절제술만을 시행한 경우가 63예, 내막절제술과 함께 패취를 이용하여 경동맥 성형술을 시행한 경우가 8예, 내막절제술과 함께 경동맥의 일부를 절제한 후 단단 문합한 경우가 5예였다. 수술 중 동맥내 션트는 29예에서 사용되었다. 총경동맥과 외경동맥을 겸자한 후의 평균 내경동맥 역류압은 뇌파의 허혈성 변화가 있었던 25예(A군)의 경우 $23.48{\pm}10.04$ mmHg이었고, 뇌파의 허혈성 변화가 없었던 51예(B군)의 경우 $47.16{\pm}16.04$ mmHg이었다. 두 군 간의 내경동맥 역류압의 평균치는 통계학적으로 차이가 없었으나 (p=0.095) 뇌파의 허혈성 변화가 나타난 환자의 내경동맥 역류압은 모두 40 mmHg 이하였다. 내경동맥 역류압에 관계없이 뇌파의 허혈성 변화가 없으면 동맥내 션트를 시행하지 않고 수술하였다. 합병증은 일시적인 설하신경 마비 4예, 기존의 뇌경색 부위에 발생한 뇌출혈 2예, 경미한 뇌경색 1예, 봉합 부위의 혈액 누출에 의한 혈종 1예, 술 중 과도한 견인에 의해 유발된 것으로 생각되는 후두 부종에 의한 상기도 폐쇄 2예였다. 기존의 뇌경색 부위에 발생한 뇌출혈 2예 중 1예는 응급 수술을 시행한 경우로 뇌출혈이 심해 보존치료 도중 사망하였다. 결론: 경동맥 내막절제술은 수술 사망률이 낮은 비교적 안전한 수술 방법이다. 허혈성 뇌손상을 예방하기 위해 사용되는 동맥내 션트는 내경동맥 역류압보다는 뇌파의 허혈성 변화 여부에 따라 사용되어야 한다고 생각한다. 후두 부종을 예방하기 위해 수술 중 과도한 견인을 피하고 수술 직후 혈압을 엄격히 관리해야 하며, 후두 부종이 의심되면 작은 구경의 튜브를 이용한 기관 삽관이나 응급 기관절개술 등을 통하여 신속하게 기도를 확보해야 한다.

총경동맥 폐쇄는 비교적 드물고 거의 연구되지 않은 질병이다. 총경동맥 폐쇄는 여러 신경학적 증상을 유발하지만 다양한 문합의 발달 덕분에 때때로 무증상일 수 있다. 저자들은 문합을 통한 혈류로 인한 무증상 총경동맥 폐쇄 환자의 증례를 보고하고자 한다. 환자는 경대퇴동맥 뇌혈관 조영술을 시행하여 총경동맥 폐쇄와 후두 동맥-척추 동맥 연결을 포함한 두 가지 측부 경로가 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 저자들은 총경동맥 폐쇄가 의심되는 경우 경대퇴동맥 뇌혈관 조영술 시행이 중요함을 강조하고, 총경동맥 폐쇄의 유형 및 문합 경로를 문헌고찰하였다.

This study is aimed to optimize a location of region of interest (ROI) in test bolus carotid contrast enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (CE-MRA) at 3.0T. A total of consecutive 270 patients with no cardiovascular and vessel diseases were selected. Patients underwent elliptical centric 3D CE-MRA with the test bolus technique to identify the individual arterial arrival time. Quantitative measurements were performed by drawing ROIs of $25mm^2$ and signal intensities (SI) were measured in the center of common carotid artery (CCA), internal carotid artery (ICA) and aortic arch (AA). As a result, ROIs located within AA showed a significantly clarified arterial peak and over three times increased SI, while no significant arterial peak time differences were observed compared to ROIs located within CCA. In conclusion, it was demonstrated that the aortic arch is the optimal position to locate ROI in test bolus images of the carotid CE-MRA.

The patient was 17 years old female who complained of coldness of right arm and occasional dizziness, since 4 months prior to admission. On physical examination, the right radial, brachial and common carotid arterial pulses were not palpable. Aortography revealed narrowing of innominate and right common carotid arteries, and complete obstruction of right subclavian artery. The right axillary artery was faintly visualized on the delayed film. Axillo-axillar bypass was done using Gore-Tex graft of 8 mm I.D.. By bilateral subclavicular incision, both side axillary arteries was exposed. End to side anastomosis was made between graft and right axillary artery and the graft was brought out to the left side, subcutaneously, over the sternum, and the anastomosis was made between graft and left axillary artery. Postoperatively, both radial pulses were equally palpable. On follow-up visiting, there were no subjective symptoms and blood pressure in both arms was equal.

Recently, evaluation of brain transport of taurine which is possible to effect on Alzheimer's disease has investigated in rats. Also, internal carotid artery perfusion (ICAP) method is very useful for measuring of blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability in rats. But ICAP has difficulties to evaluate of BBB permeability in mice especially. In the present study examines neuropharmaceutials permeability through the BBB in mice by common carotid artery perfusion (CCAP) method that modify ICAP method and require simple surgery. The external carotid artery (ECA) is cannulated with coagulating pterygopalatine artery (PPA) on ICAP method, while CCA is cannulated without coagulating PPA on CCAP method. The CCAP method require 4-5 fold higher infusion rate than ICAP method because an additional factor of 2 must be incorporated to adjust for fluid loss to the extracerebral circulation.

We present a metastatic carcinoma from the breast to the neck soft tissue around common carotid artery, with a rare finding of voice change. A 60 year-old female patient presented with voice change for 7 months. Neck ultrasound revealed a soft tissue mass between internal jugular vein and common carotid artery. Result of fine needle aspiration biopsy was a metastatic carcinoma. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance image revealed $2.5{\times}3.0cm$ sized irregular marginated soft tissue mass in right lower neck encasing common carotid artery and internal jugular vein. Surgical resection was performed and pathologic result with immunohistochemical analysis confirmed the diagnosis of a metastatic invasive ductal carcinoma originated from breast.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the mechanism of vasodilation of Lespedezea cuneata(LC) in rabbit common carotid artery and cavernosal smooth muscle. LC relaxed arterial strips precontracted with norepinephrine and cavernosal strips precontracted with phenylephrine. The arterial relaxation effects of LC was endothelium-dependent. $N{\omega}$-nitro-L-arginine(L-NNA), NOS inhibitor, methylene blue(MB), cGMP inhibitor, indomethacin(IM), cyclo-oxygenase inhibitor and tetraethylammonium chloride(TEA), KCa-channel blocker attenuate the relaxation responses of LC in arterial strips. In $Ca^{2+}$-free krebs-ringer solution, pretreatment of LC extract significantly reduced the contraction induced by addition $Ca^{2+}$. L-NNA reduced LC extract-induced relaxation in cavernosal strips, but IM, TEA and MB didn't affect LC extract-induced relaxation. When LC extract was applicated on human umbilical vein endothelial cell, the nitric oxide concentration was increased. We conclude that in rabbit common carotid artery, LC may suppress influx of extra-cellular $Ca^{2+}$ through the release of endothelium derived relaxing factor including nitric oxide, prostacyclin, endothelium derived hyperpolarizing factor. And LC exerts a relaxing effect on corpus cavernosum through activating the NO.
