Seven patients [six women and one man] with obstruction of hepatic portion of inferior vena cava was operated on, from May, 1969 to January, 1985. Of seven patients, six were undergone corrective operation for IVC obstruction and another one was not operated because of far advanced liver cirrhosis. The occlusions were found at or close to the level of diaphragm and they were membranous or diffuse with or without thrombi. Most of their symptoms were referable to either inferior vena caval or hepatic venous obstruction and onset of the symptoms was usually gradual, beginning between the age of their thirties and forties. Most of the patients showed marked elevation of peripheral venous pressure of lower extremity [29-40 cm H2O] preoperatively, which decreased significantly after corrective operation [17-30 cm H2O]. Venous catheterization for pressure study and venography were essential for confirming the diagnosis. Of six cases, in which corrective operations were done, Transatrial membranotomy with or without IVC dilatation were performed in five cases [case 1, 2, 3, 5, 6], using cardiopulmonary bypass and in another one case, bypass operation between IVC, distal to obstruction, and RA was done using Dacron tube graft under the thoracoabdominal incision. All survived and their conditions were improved.

하대정맥에 생기는 평활근육종은 매우 드문 악성종양이다. 평활근육에서 기원하는 종양은 대정맥의 가장 흔한 원발성 종양이며, 하대정맥이 가장 흔히 발생하는 곳이다. 환자는 65세의 여자 환자로 입원 3주전부터 시작된 호흡곤란과 복부 불쾌감을 호소하여 내원 하였다. 복부 전산화 단층촬영과 하대정맥 조영술에서 우심방에서 우측 신정맥 위까지 확장된 하대정맥 종양이 보였으며, 또한 하대정맥을 폐쇄시키고 있었다. 하대정맥의 평활근육종으로 진단 후 수술은 종양을 제거하고, 하대정맥을 인조혈관 패치를 이용하여 재건하였다. 수술 후 6개월 간의 추적 관찰 중에 실시한 복부 전산화 단층촬영에서 재발과 하대정맥의 폐쇄소견은 없었다.

Budd-Chiari syndrome은 하공정맥에서 우심방으로의 혈류장애로 인한 간부전증이다. 본 증례의 남자 45세 환자는 1987년 선천적인 막의 하공정맥 폐쇄로 인한 하공정맥 폐색막 제거와 확장술을 자가심낭으로 이용하여 수술을 받았다. 술후 10년이 경과한 후 하공정맥이 재협착되어 비침습적인 방법인 Gianturco stent 확장술을 받았으나 치료적인 효과를 얻지 못하였다. 재수술은 Gore-Tex 인조 혈관의 일부를 오각형으로 재단하여 하공정맥의 협착 부위를 절개한후 부착 봉합후 손가락 두행지가 통과할수 있도록 확장하였다. 수술후 출혈이나 합병증없이 양호한 경과를 보였으며 항응고제 사용없이 수술 2주 경과후 퇴원 하였다. Gore-Tex 인조혈관을 일부 제단한 patch를 수술에 사용하여 좋은 결과를 얻었으며 Budd-Chiari syndrome의 재수술의 경우로 인공심폐기하에도 수술시야에 심한 출혈이 발생 하므로 신속하고 정확한 지혈 수기가 요구된다고 할수 있다.

A technique applicated for physiologic correction of complex congenital cardiac disease suitable for Fontan procedure in which drainage of left superior vena cava and hepatocardiac vein to left atrium combined is described. We made one systemic venous baffle from left hepatocardiac vein to left superior vena cava and another systemic venous baffle from right inferior vena cava to the right superior vena cava with rigid prosthetic material[0.5mm thickness PTFE patch]. And then we anastomosed directly between the right sided atrial appendage and right pulmonary artery, and left-sided atrial wall beneath the appendage and left pulmonary artery. We believe that this procedure is superior to the method using intraatrial tube graft to divert the left hepatocardiac venous blood to right atrium, and applicable for physiologic correction of any complex congenital cardiac disease suitable for Fontan-type procedure in which anomalies of systemic venous drainage combined.

Anomalous drainage of the right superior vena cava into the left atrium is a very rare congenital cardiac anomaly. Recently a patient with this venous anomaly was surgically corrected and forms the basis of this report. Patient findings were as follows: The patient has no other symptom but cyanosis which prompted cardiac evaluation Chest PA and electrocariogram were usual. Cross-sectional echocardiogram showed normally connected heart without intracardiac defect, Inferior vena cava drained normally into right atrium and coronary sinus was not dilated. Contrast, given into the right atrium, appeared in the left atrium This rare venous anomaly was confirmed by surgery. Surgical correction consisted of division of superior vena cava above the junction of left atrium and reanastomosis into right atrial appendage. Postoperative digital subtracion angiography confirmed the successful repair. She has doing well for 6months since operation. Systemic venous anomalies without intracardiac defect are very rare. However this anomalies should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cyanosis. The successfully corrected case is reported and literature is reviewed.

A 21 year-old male patient had a diagnosis of Budd-Chiari syndrome caused by inferior vena caval obstruction. Conservative medical therapy failed to control the symptoms of both portal hypertension and inferior vena caval stasis. Portocaval or mesocaval shunts may relive the symptoms of chronic forms of Budd-Chiari syndrome. But when inferior vena caval stenosis is severe, another procedure has to be used. Cavoatrial or portoatrial shunt has been suggested. Therefore, a long Dacron graft was placed from the inferior vena cava just below the left renal vein to the right atrium. He exhibited almost complete relief of symptoms for 1.5 year postoperatively. And there was angiographic proof of patency of the graft. This simple procedure should be encouraged in treatment of these patients.

본 증례의 39세 남자는 전신부종과 간부전증을 일으키는 Budd-Chiari syndrome과 상대정맥 폐색증을 가지고 입원하였다. 보존적 내과 치료 후 방사선과의 침습적 방법에 의한 확장술에 실패하여 하공정맥-우심방 단락술을 시행하였다. 수술은 정중흉골 절제술 및 직사행 복부 절제술을 통하여 직경 24 mm의 Dacron graft를 사용하여 좌신정맥 하에서 하공정맥-우심방 단락술을 체외순환을 하지 않고 시행하였다 수술후 출혈이나 합병증없이 양호한 결과를 보였으며 수술당일부터 항응고제 치료를 병행하였다. 술후 26일째 시행한 복부 도플러 초음파 상에서 graft의 유통성이 양호함을 확인하였다. 퇴원시 상대정맥 폐색 증상은 남아 있었으나 외래 추적 검사시 상대정맥 폐색 증상도 호전되었음을 확인할 수 있었다

Background: The inferior vena cava filter (IVCF) is very effective for preventing pulmonary embolism in patients who cannot undergo anticoagulation therapy. However, if a filter is placed in the body permanently, it may lead to other complications. Methods: A retrospective study was performed of 159 patients who underwent retrievable Cook Celect IVCF implantation between January 2007 and April 2015 at a single center. Baseline characteristics, indications, and complications caused by the filter were investigated. Results: The most common underlying disease of patients receiving the filter was cancer (24.3%). Venous thrombolysis or thrombectomy was the most common indication for IVCF insertion in this study (47.2%). The most common complication was inferior vena cava penetration, the risk of which increased the longer the filter remained in the body (p=0.032, Exp(B)=1.004). Conclusion: If the patient is able to retry anticoagulation therapy and the filter is no longer needed, the filter should be removed, even if a long time has elapsed since implantation. If the filter cannot be removed, it is recommended that follow-up computed tomography be performed regularly to monitor the progress of venous thromboembolisms as well as any filter-related complications.
