본 증례는 73세 남자 환자가 십이지장 3부에서 발생한 상부위장관 출혈로 인해 경동맥 색전술로 치료한 드문 증례이다. 환자는 혈변을 주소로 내원하여 시행한 초기 상부 및 하부 위장관 내시경과 전산화단층촬영에서 출혈 부위를 발견하지 못하였다. 입원 3일째에 혈색소 수치가 지속적으로 감소하여 테크네슘-적혈구 스캔을 시행하였고 십이지장 3부의 게실 내에 출혈이 의심되어 혈관조영술을 시행하였다. 상장간동맥 혈관조영술에서 십이지장 게실에 혈류를 공급하는 하췌십이지장동맥의 활동성 출혈이 관찰되어 색전술을 시행하였다. 이후 7일 동안 재출혈이나 합병증이 없어 퇴원하였다. 이에 발생빈도가 매우 낮고 초기 진단이 어려웠던 십이지장 게실 출혈의 보고와 관련된 문헌고찰을 하고자 한다.

Background/Aims: Few studies have measured the accuracy of prognostic scores for upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) among cancer patients. Thereby, we compared the prognostic scores for predicting major outcomes in cancer patients with UGIB. Secondarily, we developed a new model to detect patients who might require hemostatic care. Methods: A prospective research was performed in a tertiary hospital by enrolling cancer patients admitted with UGIB. Clinical and endoscopic findings were obtained through a prospective database. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to gauge the power of each score. Results: From April 2015 to May 2016, 243 patients met the inclusion criteria. The AIMS65 (area under the curve [AUC] 0.85) best predicted intensive care unit admission, while the Glasgow-Blatchford score best predicted blood transfusion (AUC 0.82) and the low-risk group (AUC 0.92). All scores failed to predict hemostatic therapy and rebleeding. The new score was superior (AUC 0.74) in predicting hemostatic therapy. The AIMS65 (AUC 0.84) best predicted in-hospital mortality. Conclusions: The scoring systems for prognostication were validated in the group of cancer patients with UGIB. A new score was developed to predict hemostatic therapy. Following this result, future prospective research should be performed to validate the new score.

Purpose: This study was conducted to examine the effects of bed side exercising on back pain and bleeding during absolute bed rest in patients who had received transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE). Methods: A nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design was used. A total 46 patients were sampled from a gastrointestinal unit of a urban general hospital in Seoul. The control group received 8 hours of bed rest and conservative care. The experimental group received 8 hours of bed rest and bed side exercising every one hour from the time having absolute bed rest for 3 hours after TACE. Results: The experimental group with bed side exercising experienced significantly less back pain compared to the control group. There was no significant difference in the incidence of bleeding complications between two groups. Conclusion: The results indicate that a bed side exercising is associated with a reduction of back pain and with no increased risk of bleeding complications in patients after TACE.

소화기계 Leakage환자 검사 시 Planar 영상만으로 담즙누출 및 출혈여부와 위치감별이 쉽지 않다. SPECT-CT를 이용하여 담즙누출 및 위장관출혈 확인과 위치 감별을 통한 유용성을 평가하고자 한다. 본원에 내원한 환자 중 담즙누출 의심 환자 8명 및 위장관출혈이 의심되는 환자 5명, 총 13명을 대상으로 Planar영상 획득 후 판독실요청에 따라 SPECT-CT를 진행했다. 장비는 SIEMENS사의 Symbia T16과 GE사의 Discovery 670을 사용했다. Planar 및 SPECT-CT 영상은 4명의 경험 있는 핵의학 의사에 의해 1~10점의 점수로 평가했다. 민감도 및 특이도를 이용하여 ROC 곡선에 의한 검사 평가를 시행했다. 최종 진단은 재수술 결과 및 추적 관찰을 통해 확인했다. SPECT-CT의 민감도, 특이도 및 정확도는 각각 91.7%, 100% 및 94.2%였다. Planar영상은 각 각 83.3%, 68.8% 및 78.8%였다. Planar영상은 SPECT-CT와 비교하여 낮은 진단 정확도를 보였다(78.8%, 94.2%, p<0.05). 또한 ROC곡선 분석에서 SPECT-CT의 진단 신뢰도는 Planar영상보다 유용한 결과를 나타냈다(p<0.05). SPECT-CT는 담즙누출 및 위장관출혈 진단과 위치 감별에 민감도와 특이도가 높게 나타났다. Planar영상과 함께 SPECT-CT를 추가로 시행한다면 담즙누출 및 위장관출혈 환자의 진단과 위치 감별평가를 향상 시킬 것으로 사료된다. SPECT-CT는 다른 장기와의 중첩으로 진단이 어려울 경우 유용성이 있지만 추가적인 CT피폭에 대한 고려는 충분히 이루어져야 할 것이다.

Background/Aims: Gastric varices (GVs) are a major cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding in patients with liver cirrhosis. The current treatments of choice are balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (BRTO) and the placement of a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS). We aimed to compare the efficacy and outcomes of these two methods for the management of GV bleeding. Methods: This retrospective study included consecutive patients who received BRTO (n=157) or TIPS (n=19) to control GV bleeding from January 2005 to December 2014 at a single tertiary hospital in Korea. The overall survival (OS), immediate bleeding control rate, rebleeding rate and complication rate were compared between patients in the BRTO and TIPS groups. Results: Patients in the BRTO group showed higher immediate bleeding control rates (p=0.059, odds ratio [OR]=4.72) and lower cumulative rebleeding rates (logrank p=0.060) than those in the TIPS group, although the difference failed to reach statistical significance. There were no significant differences in the rates of complications, including pleural effusion, aggravation of esophageal varices, portal hypertensive gastropathy, and portosystemic encephalopathy, although the rate of the progression of ascites was significantly higher in the BRTO group (p=0.02, OR=7.93). After adjusting for several confounding factors using a multivariate Cox analysis, the BRTO group had a significantly longer OS (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR]=0.44, p=0.01) and a longer rebleeding-free survival (aHR=0.34, p=0.001) than the TIPS group. Conclusions: BRTO provides better bleeding control, rebleeding-free survival, and OS than TIPS for patients with GV bleeding.

Patients with symptomatic gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) typically present with gastrointestinal bleeding and abdominal pain. This report presents an unusual case of fundic GIST complicated by gastroduodenal intussusception, manifesting as acute pancreatitis. The patient presented with epigastric pain and pancreatic enzyme elevation; thus, he was diagnosed with acute pancreatitis. Computed tomography showed evidence of pancreatitis and a 4×4.7 cm well-defined hyperdense lesion in the 2nd part of the duodenum, compressing the pancreatic head and pancreatic duct. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed invagination of the gastric folds into the duodenum, causing pyloric canal blockage consistent with gastroduodenal intussusception. Spontaneous reduction of the lesion during endoscopy revealed a 4 cm pedunculated subepithelial mass with central ulceration originating from the gastric fundus. Endoscopic ultrasound demonstrated a heterogeneous hypoechoic lesion originating from the 4th layer of the gastric wall. Laparoscopic-endoscopic intragastric wedge resection of the fundic lesion was subsequently performed, and surgical histology confirmed GIST.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumor is the most common mesenchymal tumor in the gastrointestinal tract and is most frequently developed in the stomach in the form of submucosal tumor. The incidence of gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumor is estimated to be as high as 25% of the population when all small and asymptomatic tumors are included. Because gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumor is not completely distinguished from other submucosal tumors, a surgical excisional biopsy is recommended for tumors >2 cm. The surgical principles of gastrointestinal stromal tumor are composed of an R0 resection with a normal mucosa margin, no systemic lymph node dissection, and avoidance of perforation, which results in peritoneal seeding even in cases with otherwise low risk profiles. Laparoscopic surgery has been indicated for gastrointestinal stromal tumors <5 cm, and the indication for laparoscopic surgery is expanded to larger tumors if the above mentioned surgical principles can be maintained. A simple exogastric resection and various transgastric resection techniques are used for gastrointestinal stromal tumors in favorable locations (the fundus, body, greater curvature side). For a lesion at the gastroesophageal junction in the posterior wall of the stomach, enucleation techniques have been tried preserve the organ's function. Those methods have a theoretical risk of seeding a ruptured tumor, but this risk has not been evaluated by well-designed clinical trials. While some clinical trials are still on-going, neoadjuvant imatinib is suggested when marginally unresectable or multiorgan resection is anticipated to reduce the extent of surgery and the chance of incomplete resection, rupture or bleeding.
