연구배경: 폐색전증은 조기진단으로 신속한 치료를 요하는 치명적인 질환으로 관심여부에 따라서는 비슷한 조건의 병원규모라 하더라도 진단율이 상이한 차이를 나타내는 것으로 알려져있다. 폐색전증 진단에서 나선식 전산화 단층촬영 혈관조영술은 높은 민감도와 특이도를 나타낸다고 알려져있다. 저자들은 폐색전증에서 나선식 전산화 단층촬영 혈관조영술의 2, 3차원 영상소견과 진단적 가치를 평가하였고, 나선식 전산화 단층촬영 혈관조영술과 폐관류 스캔을 비교하였다. 방 법: 1997년 9월에서부터 1998년 8월까지 20명의 환자에서 나선식 전산화 단층촬영 혈관조영술을 시행하였고, 이 중 14명의 환자에서 폐관류 스캔을 동시에 시행하여 그 임상적 기록과 함께 분석하였다. 또한 색전의 위치에 따른 혈관 분포 및 동반된 폐실질의 변화를 분석하였다. 결 과: 폐색전증의 색전의 위치에 따른 분포양상을 보면, 좌측 혜(n=103) 보다 우측 폐(n=129)에, 좌 우측폐의 상엽과 중엽을 합친 것(n=101)보다 하엽(n=116)에 많은 빈도를 보였고, 세분절이하로 갈수록 많은 빈도를 보이는데 하엽에서는 5 번째에서 감소되는데, 이것은 세분절이하 혈관 색전에서 나선식 전산화 단층촬영 혈관조영술의 낮은 발견율 및 동반된 폐경색과 무기폐 등이 주로 하엽에 생기기 때문에 가려진 것으로 생각된다. 나선식 전산화 단층촬영 혈관조영술로 폐색전증 진단시, 1명에서 위음성을 보여 95%(19명/20명)의 발견율을 보였고, 급성 및 만성 소견이 각각 16명, 3명이었고, 폐경색, 무기폐, 흉막삼출이 각각 9명(45%), 4명(20%), 6명(30%)이었다. 결 론: 2, 3차원 영상이 포함된 나선식 전산화 단층촬영 혈관조영술은 폐색전증에서 비침습적인 진단 방법으로 1) 폐실질을 포함하여 색전의 전체적 분포를 용이하게 알 수 있으며, 2) 진단시 높은 발견율을 보이며, 3) 비교적 급성과 만성의 구분이 되고, 4) 동반된 폐실질의 변화와 흉막삼출을 보는데 유용한 진단방법이며, 5) 폐관류 스캔 소견과 높은 연관성을 보였다. 제한점으로는 세분절이하에서 인지 장애(perception error)가 있다. 또한, 만성 폐쇄성 폐질환, 천식, 결핵 등이 동반된 호흡기 질환에서는 색전이 나선식 전산화 단층촬영 혈관조영술에서 간과(missing) 될 수 있다.

During the period of seven years from Jan. 1976 to Jan. 1983, one hundred cases of pulmonary tuberculous residual lesions were resected at the Department of Thoracic Surgery, Paik Hospital in Seoul, Korea. During the period of this study, 1764 patients were admitted with the diagnosis of pulmonary and/or pleural tuberculosis in the medical and surgical department as a primary or associated conditions. Among these 1764 patients, one hundred selective cases were operated. The results were as follows; l. Extents of the disease by the predominant clinical pictures were: totally destroyed lung; 18, destroyed lobe; 6, cavitary lesion with or without positive sputum; 35, bronchiectasis; 7, bronchostenosis with atelectasis; 2, empyema with or without BPF; 20, pleural thickening; 4, tuberculoma; 3, bullous cyst with tuberculosis; 5 cases, or per cent [Table 1]. 2. Male and female ratio was 1.2:1 or 55 and 45 per cent. Age distribution ranged 15 and 55 with average of 33 years [Table 2]. 3. Type of procedures were: pleuropneumonectomy; 15, pneumonectomy; 25, lobectomy; 37, bilobectomy; 6, lobectomy plus segmentectomy; 3, pleurectomy; 14 cases, or percent, Site of resections were: right; 58 and left; 42 cases, or per cent [Table 3]. 4. Incidence of complications were 10 per cent and the mortality was 4 per cent. The causes of morbidity were analyzed. The main causes of death were pulmonary insufficiency; 2, cardiac arrhythmia; 1, and hepatic insufficiency; 1 case or per cent [Table 4]. 5. Pathologic examinations of the resected pulmonary and pleuropulmonary lesions were observed by gross specimen, correlating with the pre-operative indications of the disease [Fig. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6].>br> 6. Anti-tuberculous chemotherapy was done for 6 to 18 months, post-operatively, in 80 patients. Of these 49 cases were need medication for 12 months [Table 5]. Except the four operative mortality and a case of post-operative recurrent buberculosis under medication, all the other 95 cases are well in activity and free from the disease at the moment.

Prior to availability of antibiotics, lung abscess has been recognized as one of the most serious pulmonary disease, and despite of diminished morbidity and mortality rate with the advent of antibiotics and development of better technique in the fields of surgery on pulmonary disease it continues to be a virulent form of pulmonary supuration. It is the purpose of this paper to present a clinical review of 115 lung abscess treated by surgically at "The National Medical Center" during past 9 years. 1. The most common age of occurrence is between the age of 30 and 50, and 105 cases were male and 31 cases occurred in female. 2. Numerous etiological factors may play a role in the formation of a pulmonary abscess; aspiration in 36 patients of which 2 patients had diabetes, 54 patients had preceding URI or pneumonia, and 5 patients followed liver abscess, one of which in hematogenous route. In 20 patients, no predisposing factor could be determined- 3. Clubbing digits were presented in 26 of 1315 patients suggesting chronicity of the disease, and gastric ulcer were combined in 3 of 136 patints. 4. Apparently the onset was insidious, and the progress was masked by indiscriminate administration of antibiotics for URI and TB remedies under impression of pul. tbc. Previous TB treatments were done in 56.%[76 cases] for one week to two years and administration of antibiotics in 51 cases. 5. 89 cases were on tbe right and 2t5 cascs were on the left side. 51 cases of pneumonectomy and 8 of open drainage, of which 4 of Monaldi procedure, were made and operative mortality rate was 5.2%. Numerous complications such as 8 of empyema, 4 of each bleeding and atelectasis, 2 of BPF, 1 of esophageal fistula and one of pneumothorax which were responded well to prolonged treatment with good results, were obtained. 6. The incidence of Klebsiella and Pseudomonas were increased recently. In these results, we submit the surgery should be performed if the conservative therapy had failed. The resection was most favorable operation for pulmonary abscess though drainage procedure may be of value in certain patients with grave systemic menifestations. In chronic long standing abscess, more complications and high mortality rate were assumable although the prognosis has been improved with the advent of antibiotics, the development of improved surgical technique and complete preoperative care.

During the past six years from July 1977 to June 1983, fifteen adult patients of patent ductus arteriosus were surgically treated. The results were as follows: 1. Of the 15 patients, their age range was 17 to 34 years with a mean of 24 years, and sexual predominance was women [9. cf. 6 men]. 2. The most common symptom showed exertional dyspnea, and 10 patients were classed in NYHA class II, the rest were all class III. 3. On physical examination, all patients were auscultated continuous murmur, but concomitantly diastolic murmur was noted apical region in 2 patients. 4. On roentgenogram of chest, normal finding was 3 patients, and the other patients were revealed the evidence of pulmonary congestion. 5. The electrocardiogram was normal in 6 patients, but LVH was seen in 5, and 2 patients were LVH+ LAH. 6. Cardiac catheterization was performed in 12, and mean value of SO2[LPA-RV] was 6.3%, Q/Q 2.09, peak systolic pulmonary arterial pressure 45.3 mmHg, and Rp/Rs 0.365. 7. All operations were carried out by posterolateral thoracotomy. In 6 patients, division and suture of ductus were possible, the other patients were treated by division and ligation with heavy silk or Dacron patch. 8. Postoperative complications were hoarseness, persistent murmur, reoperation for bleeding, and atelectasis. Early and late mortality was 20% [3 patients], and cause of death was mainly aneurysmal rupture of previous operative site.

A 61 year-old woman underwent perfusion and inhalation lung scan for the evaluation of pulmonary thromboembolism. Tc-99m MAA perfusion lung scan showed multiple round hot spots in both lung fields. Tc-99m DTPA aerosol inhalation lung scan and chest radiography taken at the same time showed normal findings (Fig. 1, 2). A repeated perfusion lung scan taken 24 hours later demonstrated no abnormalities (Fig. 3). Hot spots on perfusion lung scan can be caused by microsphere clumping due to faulty injection technique or by radioactive embolization from upper extremity thrombophlebitis after injection. Focal hot spots can signify zones of atelectasis, where the hot spots probably represent a failure of hypoxic vasoconstriction. Artifactual hot spots due to microsphere clumping usually appear to be round and in peripheral location, and the lesions due to a loss of hypoxic vasoconstriction usually appear to be hot uptakes having linear $borders^{1-3)}$. Although these artifactual hot spots have been well-known, we rarely encounter them. This report presents a case with artifactual hot spots due to microsphere clumping on Tc-99m MAA perfusion lung scan.

With the decreasing incidence of new cases and the highly effective results with antituberculous drug therapy, there is a marked decline in the need for surgery which was formerly such an important part in the successful program of management of this disease. During the period of two years and a half from Jun. 1984 to Dec. 1986, this study represents an analysis of 163 cases of several surgical management for eventual control of pulmonary tuberculosis at National Kon-ju tuberculosis Hospital. 1. Mode of surgical treatment was: Resection; 123 cases [Pneumonectomy: 83, lobectomy: 35, lobectomy plus segmentectomy; 4 segmentectomy: 1], thoracoplasty: 20 and others: 20. 2. Age distribution ranged 16and 68 with average of 34 years. Male and female ratio was 1.2: 1. 3. Surgical indications were: totally destroyed lung; 64, Destroyed lobe of segment; 13, cavity positive sputum; 10, cavity c negative Sputum; 6, Bronchostenosis c atelectasis; 2, empyema c or s BPF; 46, Aspergilloma; 8, Questions of Associated tumor; 4 and other 5. 4. Incidence of Complications was 10.4% and the mortality was 5.5 percent. The cause of mortality were analyzed. The main causes of death were respiratory insufficiency; 4, fulminant hepatitis; 1, hemorrhage; 1 and unknown; 1 in pneumonectomy, and asphyxia; 1 in lobectomy and sepsis; 1 in other procedure. 5. Conversion rare of positive sputum to negative state related to resectional surgery was 91.5%. In pneumonectomy, drug resistant group preoperatively showed 88.1% conversion rate postoperatively and drug sensitive group showed that 100% conversion rate. In lobectomy, both drug resistant and sensitive groups showed that 100% conversion rate postoperatively.

Between October 1964 and August 1979, 2,537 patients underwent operation for pulmonary disease including tuberculosis at the National Kongju Hospital. Ages at operation ranged from 6.6 to 67.6 years with a mean age of 30.8 years and the male to female ratio was 3.07: l. Indications for operation were, respectively, as follows; destroyed lobe or segment with /without cavity[68.6%], ipsilateral total destroyed lung[14.8%], empyema with/wit-hout fistula[6.0%], atelectasis with bronchostenosis[2.6%], bronchiectasis[2.4%], tuberculoma[1.6%], lung abscess[1.7%], etc. There were 1,416 thoracoplasties[most common], 915 lobectomies, 591 pneumonectomies, etc. 1,073 patients with hemoptysis were found, streaking[23.8%], mild[42.3%], moderate[26.6%], severe[3.4%] and massive[3.9%] as the severity. Tuberculosis was the most common cause of severe and massive hem-optysis. Postoperative complications were developed 16.% of the operated cases, bleeding was the most frequent complication found in these cases. The mortality of operation was 8%, the most common cause of death was bleeding also.

Achalasia is a functional disorder of a short segment of the lower esophagus showing obstruction of the esophagogastric junction. Dysphagia. regurgitation and weight loss are outstanding features,however, complicated pulmonary troubles aspiration pneumonitis, bronchiectasis, lung abscess etc. --are sometimes more apparent than the disease entity in children though achalasia is rarely encountered in children. During the period of January, 1961, to May, 1968, the authors experienced 9 cases of achalasia of the esophagus in Chest Surgery Department,N.M.C. 1. Seven of nine were male and four were under 5 years of age. 2. So-called symptoms triad noted in almost every case, and 3 of 4 children showed recurrent attacks of pneumonitis. 3. Chest film showed widened superior mediastinum by dilated esophagus in 6 cases, and pulmonary infiltrations in 3 cases of children. 4. Preoperative diagnosis were achalasia,esophageal stricture by rodent-cidal ingestion and suggestive esophageal cancer in 7 cases,one case and remaining one case. respectively. 5. Modified Heller procedure was performed in all cases with definite diagnosis of achalasia at operation table in misdiagnosed 2 cases. 6. Immediate postoperative complications were 2 cases of wound infection and one case of atelectasis and no operative mortality encountered. 7. Seven of nine showed excellent result of operation, and good in one case. Remaining one case failed relieving obstruction and underwent interposition of ileocolonic segment with excellent result.

With the ligation of patent ductus arteriosus by Gross in 1938, surgeons first entered the field of congenital heart disease. Interruption of a ductus is one of the most satisfactory and curative operations in the field of surgery for congenital heart disease. 27 cases of isolated patent ductus arteriosus were operated from Jan. 1978 to July 1984 at the Department of Thoracic & Cardiovascular Surgery in Kyung-Hee University Hospital. Retrospective clinical analysis of these patients were: 1. Sex ratio, female: male, was 2:1. 2. Mean age at operation was 9.85\ulcorner.58 years. The youngest patient was a 23 month-old girl and the oldest one was a 24 year-old male. 3. More than half of the patients had less than 50 percentile of growth retardation. 4. Chief complaints of the patients were frequent URI [52%], dyspnea on exertion [33%], generalized weakness [22%], palpitation [7%], but 7 patients [26%] had no subjective symptoms. 5. Continuous machinery murmur could be heard at the 2nd or 3rd intercostal space on the left sternal border in 22 patients [81%]. The other S patients made systolic murmur with accentuation of the second heart sound and those were associated with pulmonary hypertension. 6. Radiologic findings of Chest P-A were cardiac enlargement in 15 patients [55%], enlargement of pulmonary conus and/or increasing density of pulmonary vascularity in 20 patients [74%]. 7. Electrocardiographic findings of the patients were within normal limit in 13 patients [48%], LVH in 4 patients [15%], biventricular hypertrophy in 3 patients [11%]. 8; echocardiogram was obtained from 11 patients. Ductus was directly visualized in 7 patients. Left atrial enlargement is the secondary change of left to right shunt, 10 patients had LA/Ao ratio more than 1.2. 9. Cardiac catheterization performed in 25 patients. The mean value of the results were:SO2[PA-RV]= 14.72\ulcorner6.01%, Qp/Qs=2.22\ulcorner.80, peak systolic pulmonary arterial pressure=48.28\ulcorner1.60 mmHg. 10. 26 patients were operated through the left posterolateral thoracotomy: closure of ductus by double ligation in 14 cases, triple ligation in 5 cases, and division with suture in 8 cases. One patient suffer from aneurysmal rupture of main pulmonary artery, endocarditis, hemopericardium was treated with cardiopulmonary bypass via median sternotomy and closure of ductus through the ruptured main pulmonary artery. 11.There was no death associated with the operation, but 3 cases were experienced with intraoperative rupture around the ductus resulting in massive bleeding. The other complications were transient hoarseness in one patient, atelectasis in left lower lobe in 3 patients, and postoperative systemic hypertension in 4 patients with unknown etiology. 12. Pulse pressure was reduced, 11.47+5.92 mmHg, postoperatively, as compare to preoperative status. 13. Intraoperative wedge lung biopsy from lingular segment for the evaluation of the pulmonary vascular disease was taken in S patients with severe pulmonary hypertension. The result was Heath-Edward grade I in one case, grade II in two cases, and grade III in two cases.
