We experienced a case of partial anomalous pulmonary venous return from righ lung to inferior vena cava, which combined with Scimitar sign in 18 years old female patient. Diagnostic procedures were simple chest x-ray chest CT, and cardiac catheterization. We redirected the anomalous venous flow from inferior vena cava to left atrium through the intracardiac tunnel which was made with autologous pericardium. Postoperative course was not eventful.

Central venous catheterization via an internal jugular vein or subclavian vein has become a common procedure in monitoring CVP and managing severely ill patients. However, there have beennumerous reports of complications associated with central venous catheterization. These include vessel injury, pneumothorax, hemothorax, nerve injury, arrhythmias, arteriovenous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and infection at the insertion site. We report a case of hemothorax after subclavian vein catheterization failure, along with successful treatment.

Intralobar pulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital malformation characterized by a cystic portion of the lung that derives its arterial blood supply through aberrant vessel directly of systemic circulation. Intralobar pulmonary sequestration Is usually contained within the visceral pleura of a pulmonary lobe and its venous drainage to the pulmonary venous system. We experienced a case of pulmonary sequestration preoperatively confirmed. The patient was 17 year old female whose complaints were mild fever and profuse purulent sputum. Chest film showed a large thin walled cystic lesion with air-fluid level at the left lower posterior basal lung field. Aortogram revealed an aberrant artery originated from thoracic aorta just above the diaphragm and that drained via pulmonary vein into the left atrium. At time of operation, a large abscess cavity measuring 9x8x3 cm in dimension at the left lower lobe was noted. And the aberrant artery, measuring 0.5 cm in diameter and 2 cm in length, arising from thoracic aorta just above the diaphragm was noted. After division and ligation of the aberrant artery, a left lower lobectomy was performed and the patient`s postoperative course was uneventful.

선천성 낭종성 선종양 기형과 외엽형 폐격리증은 아주 드문 질환이다. 본원에서는 4세 된 여자환자에서 좌폐화엽의 선천성 낭종성 선종양 기형을 수술하던 중 우연히 외엽형 폐격리증이 동반된 것을 알고 좌폐하엽 절제술과 외엽형 폐격리증 절제술을 시행하였는데, 외엽형 폐격리증은 흉부대동맥에서 비정상적으로 직접 1개의 동맥으로 유입되고, 늑간정맥을 통하여 기정맥으로 유출되었다. 환자는 수술 후 건강하게 퇴원하였다.

선천성 낭종양 선종양 기형과 외엽형 폐격리증은 각각드문 질환으로 이 두가지 질환이 퐁반되는 경우는 매우 드물다 본원에서는 출생 후 호흡시 흥벽 함몰과 빈호흡을 보인 생후 3주된 남아에서 컴퓨터 단층촬영을 통해 우폐하엽의 선천성 낭종성 선종양기형을의심하여 개흥술을시행하였다. 수술소견상 우폐하엽의 낭종성 병변 이외에 독립된 늑막에 둘러싸인채 비정상적인 혈류 공급을 받고 있는 종괴를 발견하여 하행 흉부 대동맥으로 부터 공급되는 2개의 동맥 가지와기정맥으로 유입되는 정맥분지를 결찰한 후 우하엽절제술과 더불어 격리폐를 절제하였다. 병리검사로 상기 두질환의 동반례로확진 하였고 환자는 건강한 모습으로 퇴원할 수 있었다.

Pulmonary arteriovenous fistula is unusually congenital malformation consisting of an abnormal connection between a pulmonary artery and vein. It may appear as an isolated anomaly or with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasis. In the classic form, symptoms and signs are caused by the abnormal right to left shunt. since severe clinical symptoms such as paradoxical embolism, infection, and spontaneous rupture with massive bleeding may occur, surgical treatment is often indicated. Recently we have experienced a surgical treatment of pulmonary arteriovenous fistula in 54 years old housewife. She was admitted in May 1986 with recurrent hemoptysis for 1 month. On admission, the PaO2 was 65.2 mmHg without specific findings. Pulmonary arteriovenous fistula was confirmed by preoperative pulmonary arteriography. A well circumscribed cystic mass was noted in visceral subpleural and inferior lingular segment of left upper lobe. Left upper lobectomy was performed with good results. Histologically angiomatous dilatation of abnormal vessels embedded in lung parenchyma was noted. Postoperative PaO2 was 90 mmHg. Postoperative results were good.

Venous thromboembolism (VTE), which includes pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis, is an important cause of morbidity and mortality. The aim of this review is to summarize the findings from clinically important publications over the last year in the area of VTE. In this review, we discuss 11 randomized controlled trials published from March 2013 to April 2014. The COAG and the EU-PACT trials indicate that pharmacogenetic testing has either no usefulness in the initial dosing of vitamin K antagonists or marginal usefulness in the Caucasian population. Recent clinical trials with novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs) have demonstrated that the efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban, apixaban, edoxaban, and dabigatran are not inferior to those of conventional anticoagulants for the treatment of VTE. The PEITHO and ULTIMA trials suggested that rescue thrombolysis or catheter-directed thrombolysis may maximize the clinical benefits and minimize the bleeding risk. Lastly, riociguat has a proven efficacy in treating chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. In the future, NOACs, riociguat, and catheter-directed thrombolysis have the potential to revolutionize the management of patients with VTE.

An 8 month-old male Maltese (weighing 2.0 kg) was referred with loud heart murmur at routine physical exam in local animal clinic. Electrocardiogram found left ventricular hypertrophy pattern (4.5 mV R-wave). Diagnostic imaging studies revealed the elongation of left ventricle (LV) with classic triple bumps on the main pulmonary artery, aorta and left atrium on the ventrodorsal view of radiograph. Echocardiography revealed patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) duct and continuous turbulent shunt flow (maximal velocity 4.83 m/s) between the aorta and pulmonary artery with left to right direction. The PDA in this dog was successfully closed through femoral vein (transvenous approach) using a 5 mm Amplatz$^{(R)}$ Canine Duct Occluder. To the best of author's knowledge, this is the first case of PDA occlusion treated with Amplatz Canine Duct Occluder through femoral vein.

복잡한 체정맥 그리고/혹은 폐정맥 환류를 동반한 단심실 환자에서, 심방내 폰탄술식은 체정맥 및 폐정맥 입구들간의 복잡한 위치관계로 인하여 기술적으로 어려울 수 있다. 저자등은 간정맥과 하대정맥이 멀리 떨어져서 공통 심방으로 환류되며, 간정맥의 심방내 입구가 좌하폐정맥과 근접하였던 단심실 환자에 대해 변형 심장외 폰탄술식을 성공적으로 시행하여 이를 보고하는 바이다.

In Western patient populations, the reported incidence of imaging-demonstrated deep vein thrombosis (DVT) after total hip arthroplasty (THA) is as high as 70% without prophylaxis. The reported rates of symptomatic pulmonary embolism (PE) after THA in recent studies range from 0.6% to 1.5%, and the risk of fatal PE ranges from 0.11% to 0.19% in the absence of prophylaxis. Predisposing factors to DVT in western patients include advanced age, previous venous insufficiency, osteoarthritis, obesity, hyperlipidemia, dietary and genetic factors. However, Asian patients who have undergone THA have a strikingly low prevalence of DVT and virtually no postoperative PE. Some authors suggest low clinical prothrombotic risk factors and the absence of some DVT-related genetic factors in Asian patient populations decrease the risk of DVT, PE or both. In Korea, the prevalence of DVT after THA without thromboprophylaxis have ranges from 6.8% to 43.8%, and asymptomatic PE have ranges from 0% to 12.9%; there have been only two reported cases of fatal PE. Deep-wound infections resulting from postoperative hematomas or prolonged wound drainage have been reported with routine thromboprophylaxis. The prevalence of DVT differs varies based on patient ethnicity. Guidelines for the use of thromboprophylaxis were altered and focus on the potential value of outcomes compared with possible complications (e.g., bleeding).
