This 32 year old female patient underwent left radical mastectomy due to ductal carcinoma on May 1990, and treated with FAM (5-fluorouracil, Adriamycin and Mitomycin C) regimen postoperatively. However, right cervical Iymph node enlargement and facial edema progressively developed since December 199). On April 1994, operation was performed, and findings were as followes; x4$\times$5$\times$7 to 1 : 1 $\times$ 1 cm sized multiple enlarged and hyperemic Iymph nodes were scatterred throughout submandibular area to the junction of superior vents cave and pericardium, and partially invaded both anterior segmental lobe, sternum and both distal tip of clavicles. After radical dissection of the nodes of neck and mediastinal nodes, and wedge resection of both anterior segments of lung, and partial resection of both clavicle tips and total sternum. The both innominate veins and superior vena cava were partially obstructed by invaded cancer SVC reconstruction was done with preclotted 10$\times$ 10$\times$ 18mm Y shap d woven Dacron graft, which was anastomosed to the point of the junction of subclavian vein and jugular vein after cross clamping both veins and 2cm above the pericardial junction with one arm clamp. After maintaining blood drainage to the SVC from the right side, left innominate vein was anastomosed with 4-0 Prolene continuous running suture. Bone cement was used for resected sternal portion and clavicular ends were fixed to postal portion with 18 Gauge wires. The patient was treated with radiation and chemotherapy after discharge, and there were no evidence of regrowing of the mass nor obstruction of the graft inspite of no antithrombotic therapy.

This represents a case report of the retained polyethylene catheter fragment in superior vena cava. A 39 year old male was admitted to this Korea University Hospital a short time after compression wound on abdomen with heavy cement material in emergency room, a polyethylene catheter was introduced into the right subclavian vein through a needle. But when the polyethylene catheter was attempted to withdraw the catheter was severed by the beveled tip of the needle. Later that day, chest X-ray disclosed the presence of the fragment extending from right subclavian vein to the superior vena cava. {Fig. 1 and Fig. 2]. Local exploration by way of an infraclavicular incision was unsuccessful in locating the catheter fragment. Another attempt was then made remove the catheter by means a biotome, which is originally a device for the biopsy of the myocardium, introduced through the right great saphenous vein. This procedure, though well tolerated by the patient, was in vain. After 11 days later, during that time he was taken a laparotomy with drain, another operation for removal of retained catheter fragment was performed through median sternotomy. After exposure of the right subclavian vein, innominate vein, and superior vena cava, an incision 1 cm in |length was made directly over the palpated catheter. The catheter immediately was picked upward and removed. The length of the catheter was approximately 8 cm. [Fig 3 ] There was no evidence of thromboembolism from the catheter or other complications. The patient made an uneventful recovery, and was discharged asymptomatic on the 9th postoperative day.

무명동맥은 길이가 짧고 가슴 골격에 의해 보호되기 때문에 외상에 의한 무명동맥의 파열은 드문 질환으로 알려져 있다. 본 증례는 자동차 사고로 내원한 25세 남자로 흉부 전산화 단층촬영 및 혈관 조영술로 무명동맥 파열이 진단되어 우측 쇄골하 절개를 동반한 정중 흉골 절개술을 이용하여 응급 수술을 시행하였다. 다른 동반 손상이 많아 인공 심폐기를 사용하지 않고 수술을 하였으며, 손상은 무명동맥의 중위부부터 우측 쇄골하 동맥 및 총경동맥의 기시부까지 약 3 cm 정도로 동맥 내막까지 완전히 찢어져 있었다. 복제정맥을 이용하여 첩포 혈관 성형술을 시행하였으며, 수술 후 환자는 별 다른 이상 없이 외래 추적 관찰 중이다.

In 1989, We experienced 2 cases of T.A.P.V.D. corrected successfully under cardiopulmonary bypass. The first case was 27 years old male with mild dyspnea on exertion and easy fatigability. All clinical symptoms, physical examinations, laboratory findings, echocardiogram, cardiac catheterization and angiogram revealed supracardiac type T.A.P.V.D. drained through left innominate vein. Operation was done by manner of modified Schumacker procedure. The other case was 6 years old male with cardiac type drained to right atrium through coronary sinus. Two patients were well in postoperative 15 and 8 months.

A patient with benign superior vena cava syndrome caused by the thrombus and fibrotic membrane in superior vena cava is described. Surgical treatment of superior vena cava syndrome remains controversial still. After endvenectomy and thrombectomy of superior vena cava, angioplasty with use of Gore-Tex patch and bypass graft using 10mm diameter Dacron vessel graft from left innominate vein to right atrial appendage were performed. The early postoperative course was uneventful with achievement of good decompression. But 12 months later, the symptoms of superior vena cava syndrome were reoccurred.

In 1987, we experienced 2 cases of T.A.P.V.D. corrected successfully under cardiopulmonary bypass. The first case was 28 years old male with supracardiac type drained through left innominate vein. He was oldest patient among T.A.P.V.D. which was reported in Korea. The other case was 14 years old male with cardiac type drained to right atrium directly without communication with coronary sinus. Two patients were well in postoperative 9 and 10 months and have NYHA functional class I.

The bronchopleural fistula is the most common and serious complication of postpneumonectomy empyema. We experienced one case of postpneumonectomy empyema with bronchopleural fistula which treated with Abruzzini operation using residual long bronchial stump. Median sternotomy was used with extension about 3cm incision toward cephalic side. We ligated and divided the innominate vein. We did not open the pericardium with extrapericardial approach. Stapler was used to distal bronchial side and additional interupt sutures were used on proximal side.

우측 팔의 부종과 압통을 주소로 내원한 51세 만성 신부전증 환자에서 정맥 촬영술의 결과 반복된 쇄골하정맥 도관삽관술후에 생긴 중심정맥(우쇄골하정맥, 우내경정맥, 우상완두정맥과 좌무명정맥)의 폐쇄증을 Goretex 인조혈관을 이용하여 우쇄골하정맥-상공정맥에 10 mm Goretex 인조혈관 우회로 조성술과 좌쇄골하정맥-10 mm Goretex 인조혈관사이에 8 mm Goretex 인조혈관 우회로 조성술을 실시하여 좋은 결과를 얻었다.

This is a case report of total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage with Atrial septal defect, which was corrected surgically by intracardiac procedure under total cardiopulmonary bypass. This 9 years old girl, she complained mild cyanosis, exertional dyspnea, and frequent upper respiratory infection from 3 months age. The chest X-ray showed cardiomegaly and a "snow man appearance", she has systolic murmur with splitting of S2. The diagnosis was confirmed with right heart catheterization, the catheter was reached to right pulmonic vein passed through right atrium, right superior vena cava, innominate vein, left superior vena cava, and common venous trunk. On 28th, Dec. 1979, an anastomosis between common pulmonary venous trunk and left atrium, Pericardial patch closure of ASD, and ligation of left superior vena cava were performed with Extra-corporeal circulation. The postoperative course was uneventful and discharged with excellent general condition.Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Drainage with A.S.D. with A.S.D.
