최근 혈관 질환의 진단을 위한 비침습적 영상이 발달하면서, 기존의 도자술은 중재적 치료에 국한되는 실 정이다. 그러나 관상동맥이나 우회로는 작은 직경, 심박동 움직임 등으로 도자술이 아직도 진단에 필수적이 며, 비침 응\ulcorner영상 진단의 마지막 도전 영역이다. 전자선 단층 촬영기는 높은 시간 해상능으로 심장 영상을 얻을 수 있다. 전자선 단층 촬영을 이용하여 모관상 동맥 협착이나 관상동맥 우회로 이식술 후 개존성의 평 가가 시도되고 있으며, 이중 관상동맥 우회로술 평가의 정확도는 매우 높아서 임상 적용이 가능하다. 저자와 다른 연구자의 경험에 의하면 복재 정맥은 넓은 직경, 비교적 짧고 직선적인 경로, 심박동에 덜 영 향 받음으로써 EBT조영술의 정확도가 높았다. 전향적 민감도와 특이도가 각각 92%, 97%를 보였다. 그러나 위양성과 위음성을 보인 두 예는 후향적으로 분석 할 때 경험 부족에 의한 초기의 판독 오류로 사료되어 복 재 정맥의 경우 후향적으로는 100%의 정확도를 보였다. 반면 내유동맥 이식혈관은 작은 내경과 주변의 수술 클립에 의한 인공산물로 개존성을 확인하기가 대체로 어려웠고, 역동적 검사를 병행하여 우회로내 혈류를 확인하는 것이 필요하다. 내유동맥의 경우 상대적으로 정확도가 낮아 민감도, 특이도가 각각 100%, 80%를 보였으며, 위양성을 보인 2예는 후향적으로도 개존을 확인할 수 없었다. 전자선 단층 촬영 혈관 조영술은 관상 동맥 우 막\ulcorner이식술 후의 우회 혈관 개존성의 평가, 특히 복재 정맥 우회로의 경우 매우 정확도가 높은 비침습적 검사로써, 임상 적용이 기대된다. 앞으로 촬영 기기와 영상 재구성 software의 발달로 정확도를 더욱 높일 수 있는 잠재성이 있다.

Aneurysms of the subclavian artery are rare in comparison with other peripheral aneurysm. Most of these aneurysms arise from atherosclerosis, thoracic outlet obstruction, or trauma. We have experienced two cases of false aneurysms occurring the subclavian artery. One was occurred in right subclavian artery distal to right thyrocervical trunk due to trauma [falling] and was corrected with resection of the aneurysm and replacement with right external jugular vein. The other was occurred in the left subclavian artery lateral to the left internal mammary artery with complication of left hemothorax probably due to infection and was corrected with resection of aneurysm and replacement with Dacron graft. Postoperative course of both were uneventful without complication.

Takayasu`s arteritis is one of chronic inflammatory disease characteristically involving the aorta and its major branches. Symptoms and signs of the disease are various depending on the involved area. We experienced a surgical case of Takayasu`s arteritis mainly involving both renal arteries with renovascular hypertension in a 13 year old girl. Hypertension was not controlled by medical treatment including diuretics and captopril [160/140 mmHg]. Aortogram showed severely stenosed right renal artery, nearly obstructed left renal artery and not visulalized superior mesenteric artery. Angioplasty was performed for the right renal artery but aorta-renal bypass graft with greater saphenous vein was inevitable for the left renal artery. Blood pressure was controlled sufficiently with some adjunct of captopril postoperatively [130/90 mmHg]. While the patient was discharged with much improvement, she was lost follow up and died of not identified definitive cause 3 months later.

Two patients with uncorrectable cyanotic cardiac anomalies underwent total cavopulmonary shunt[modified Fontan operation]. Case I was a 14 years old male with dyspnea and cyanosis after birth. Aortogram showed TGA combined with overriding of aorta, pulmonary stenosis, complete atrioventricular septal defect, interruption of inferior vena cava, and situs inversus totalis. We had performed total cavopulmonary shunt using with 16 mm Gortex Graft in single atrium to bypass the hepatic vein to pulmonary artery. Postoperatively, patient sustained low PaCO2 and low cardiac output and then expired at 19th postoperative day. The cause of death of the patient would be low cardiac output. Case II was a 6 years old female with dyspnea and cyanosis after birth. Aortogram showed tricuspid atresia[Type IIb], transposition of great arteries, atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect and pulmonary stenosis, We had performed total cavo-pulmonary shunt using intraatrial baffle[tunnel] with Goretex patch. The postoperative course of this patient was good without event.

A 37-year old man was admitted due to the left subauricular mass of 6 month duration which was 3 x 4cm sized, pulsatile and slowly growing He was suffered from the intermittent left facial and auricular pain radiating to the occipital area. The carotid angiography revealed 3x4cm sized saccular aneurysm of the left internal carotid artery just above the carotid bifurcation, extending to the mandibular angle level. He was planned to be operated under the direct clamp of internal carotid artery or shunting procedure. But, the back pressure of the internal carotid was 35mmHg, which suggested adequate cerebral collateral. Thereby, aneurysmectomy and restoration of cerebral blood flow with saphenous vein graft was done under the direct clamp of internal carotid artery for 25 minutes. Although mild transient neurologic sequelae such as mydriasis, tongue deviation for 10 days, he recovered completely without any complication. The aneurysmal sac had no thrombus and pathologic finding was compatible with congenital origin.

A 3,480 g male neonate showed tachypnea symptom with a serum ionized calcium level of 0.66 mmol/L by routine clinical analysis. He was injected calcium gluconate intravenously through femoral vein catheter to treat the hypocalcemia. On second day after the injection, he started to show erythema in the flank area. The lesion became firm and changed into whitish crust consist of small crystals. Abdominal X-ray and ultrasonography showed the accumulation of calcium deposit in the subcutaneous layer of the lesion. Surgical debridement was performed to remove the crust with calcium deposit and acellular fish skin graft rich in omega-3 (Kerecis) was applied to the defect site for secondary intention of the defect wound. After 2 months, the skin and soft tissue defect were fully covered with healthy normal skin without depression or contracture. This report is a first case of iatrogenic calcinosis cutis without extravasation symptom.

Purpose: For reconstruction of craniomaxillofacial defects caused by tumor, trauma, infection etc, free flap transplantation with microvascular surgery is a very useful method. Thrombus formation at the anastomosis site is the major cause of graft failure. 4-Hexylresorcinol (4-HR) is generally known as an antiseptic and antiparasitic agent. This study was conducted in order to evaluate the effect of 4-HR on blood coagulation in vitro. In addition, we investigated thrombus formation and endothelial repair of an injured vessel in an animal model. Methods: In the in vitro experiment, we compared blood coagulation time between the 4-HR treated group and normal blood. Thirty rats were used for in vivo animal experiments. After exposure of the right femoral vein, a micro vessel clamp was placed and the femoral vein was intentionally cut. Microvascular anastomosis was performed on all rats using 10-0 nylon under microscopy. The animals were divided into two groups. In the experimental group (n=15), 4-HR (250 mg/kg) mixed with olive oil (10 mL/kg) was administered per os daily. Animals in the control group (n=15) were given olive oil only. The animals were sacrificed at three days, seven days, and fourteen days after surgery and rat femoral vein samples were taken. Vascular patency and thrombus formation were investigated just before sacrifice. Histologic analysis was performed under a microscope. Results: Results of an in vitro blood coagulation test showed that coagulation time was delayed in the 4-HR treated group. The results obtained from an in vivo 4-HR administered rat model showed that the patency of all experimental groups was better at thirty minutes, seven days, and fourteen days after microvascular anastomosis than that of the control group at seven and fourteen days after anastomosis, and the amount of thrombus in the experimental groups was much less than that of the control group. Endothelial repair was observed in the histologic analysis. Conclusion: Findings of this study demonstrated that blood coagulation was delayed in the vitro 4-HR treated group. In addition, good vascular patency, anti-thrombotic effect, and repair of venous endothelial cells were observed in the vivo 4-HR administered rat group.

After transplantation of groin free flap was sucessed by the Daniel and Taylor in 1973, the reconstruction of plastic surgery was extensive and universal due to rapidly developement of anatomic study of the donor site and technique of microvascular surgery. The free tissue transfers is possible to be early activity and rehabilitation by one stage operation. It currently available allow transfer of specific tissue quality as bone, muscle, nerve to achieve a functional and cosmetic result as well as the most favorable secondary defect. But free flaps require critical, skillful technique and lengthy operating time. Also it has disadvantage of donor site morbity at the large tissue transfer. Authors were transferred with 107 cases in 103 patients from May 1987 to June 1996, and then we analysed free tissue transfer to acquire more increased sucess rate, satisfactory functional and cosmetic results. The sexual distribution was male prominent in 79 cases(76.7%), female in 24(23.3%) and age was variable distribution from 3 to 76 years old. The cause of defects was most prevalent in trauma of traffic and industrial accident in 51 cases(49%). The common recipient site were lower extremities in 47 cases(43.9%), upper extremities in 28 cases(26.5%), head and neck in 25 cases(23.4%), and trunk in 7 cases(6.5%). The type of transfer were free skin flaps in 46 cases(43%), free muscle or musculocutaneous flaps in 31 cases(29%), free vasculized or osteocutaneous flaps in 10 cases(9.3%), and specilized free flaps in 20 cases(18.7%). The anastomosis of artery was end to end anastomosis in 94 cases(87.9%), end to side anastomosis in 13 cases(12.1%) and all vein was end to end anastomosis. The number of anastomosed vessels were one artery one vein in 62 cases(57.9%), one artery two vein in 45 cases(42.1%) and vein graft was performed only one case. The postoperative mornitoring were used with temperature, color of flap, capillary refilling time, ultrasonogram, bone scan, doppler, and endoscopy. The reexploration was performed in 9 cases(8.4%), and then flap was loss in 3 cases(2.8%). Accordingly overall success rate was 97.2%. The postoperative complication was early vascular occlusion, hematoma, partial necrosis and late bulkiness, scarring, color dismatch etc. Therefore, free tissue transfer is the preferred method of treatment, even through conventional local and distant flaps are available.

Objective : The standard treatment strategy of intracranial aneurysms includes either endovascular coiling or microsurgical clipping. In certain situations such as in giant or dissecting aneurysms, bypass surgery followed by proximal occlusion or trapping of parent artery is required. Methods : The authors assessed the result of extracranial-intracranial (EC-IC) bypass surgery in the treatment of complex intracranial aneurysms in one institute between 2003 and 2007 retrospectively to propose its role as treatment modality. The outcomes of 15 patients with complex aneurysms treated during the last 5 years were reviewed. Six male and 9 female patients, aged 14 to 76 years, presented with symptoms related to hemorrhage in 6 cases, transient ischemic attack (TIA) in 2 un ruptured cases, and permanent infarction in one, and compressive symptoms in 3 cases. Aneurysms were mainly in the internal carotid artery (ICA) in 11 cases, middle cerebral artery (MCA) in 2, posterior cerebral artery (PCA) in one and posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) in one case. Results : The types of aneurysms were 8 cases of large to giant size aneurysms, 5 cases of ICA blood blister-like aneurysms, one dissecting aneurysm, and one pseudoaneurysm related to trauma. High-flow bypass surgery was done in 6 cases with radial artery graft (RAG) in five and saphenous vein graft (SVG) in one. Low-flow bypass was done in nine cases using superficial temporal artery (STA) in eight and occipital artery (OA) in one case. Parent artery occlusion was performed with clipping in 9 patients, with coiling in 4, and with balloon plus coil in 1. Direct aneurysm clip was done in one case. The follow up period ranged from 2 to 48 months (mean 15.0 months). There was no mortality case. The long-term clinical outcome measured by Glasgow outcome scale (GOS) showed good or excellent outcome in 13/15. The overall surgery related morbidity was 20% (3/15) including 2 emergency bypass surgeries due to unexpected parent artery occlusion during direct clipping procedure. The short-term postoperative bypass graft patency rates were 100% but the long-term bypass patency rates were 86.7% (13/15). Nonetheless, there was no bypass surgery related morbidity due to occlusion of the graft. Conclusion : Revascularization technique is a pivotal armament in managing complex aneurysms and scrupulous prior planning is essential to successful outcomes.
