Background: Subclavian vein (SV) catheterization is a method for the delivery of fluids, drugs, and blood products, venous blood sampling, and central vein pressure monitoring in cardiac surgery. Catheter occlusion is a serious complication of SV catheterization during cardiac surgery, especially after sternal retractor expansion. Methods: In this observational study, 303 patients who had successful right infraclavicular SV catheterization from September 2019 to April 2020 were enrolled to determine the incidence of catheter occlusion. After catheterization, the lumens of all catheters were checked for the ability to infuse and withdraw blood from the catheter before and after sternal retractor expansion. The patients' characteristics, cannulation approach, on-pump or off-pump technique, occlusion of the catheter and its lumens, and any associated complications were recorded. The data were analyzed using IBM SPSS ver. 22.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA). Results: Of the 303 patients studied, 205 were male (67.7%) and 98 were female (32.3%). Catheter occlusion occurred in 11 patients with on-pump cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) (227 patients) and 4 patients with off-pump CPB (76 patients) (p=0.863). The incidence of catheter occlusion was 4.95% (15 of 303 patients) with no cases of simultaneous 3-lumen occlusion in a catheter. The most commonly occluded lumen was the distal lumen (57.92%). Simultaneous 2-lumen occlusion occurred in 4 patients. Catheter occlusion was found in 3 of 13 malpositioned catheters (23.07%). Conclusion: The current study showed that malpositioning of the catheter tip was a risk factor for catheter occlusion and that the distal lumen of a triple-lumen catheter was the most commonly occluded lumen.

본 연구는 요도 카테터 삽입술에서의 리도카인 윤활제의 통증 감소 효과를 검증하기 위해 수행된 체계적 문헌고찰 및 메타분석연구이다. 문헌검색은 PRISMA 가이드라인에 의거하여 데이터베이스 7개(MEDLINE, Cochrane Central, CINAHL, RISS, Koreamed, KISS, NDSL)와 회색문헌을 통해 수행되었다. 비뚤림 위험은 Risk of Bias(RoB) 도구를 통해 평가되었으며 자료의 분석은 RevMan 5.3 프로그램을 이용하였다. 문헌의 선택배제기준에 따라 합계 성인 대상자 1904명이 포함된 16편의 문헌이 최종 선정되었으며 funnel plot에서 비뚤림 위험이 관찰되지 않았다. 리도카인 윤활제의 통증 점수는 대조군과 비교할 때 표준화된 평균차이가 SMD -0.96(95% CI: -1.43, -0.49)로, 전반적으로 유의한 통증 감소효과를 보였다(p<.001). 이질성(($I^2=95%$, p<.001)의 원인을 탐색하기 위해 카테터 종류(도뇨카테터, 경성 및 연성방광경 카테터)에 따라 하위집단 분석을 실시하였으며 표준화된 평균차이가 각각 SMD -0.88(95% CI:-1.51, -0.26), -0.31(95% CI:-0.63, 0.01), -1.93(95% CI:-2.88, -0.97)이었다. 도뇨카테터 삽입에서는 성별에 관계없이 통증 감소 효과가 있었으나 경성방광경 카테터에서는 남성에서만 유의한 통증 감소 효과가 있었다. 용량에 있어 경성 방광경 카테터에서는 리도카인 윤활제를 10-11ml 이상을 사용한 경우 통증 감소 효과가 관찰되었다. 도뇨카테터에서는 리도카인 윤활제를 도포하는 방법만으로도 시간에 관계없이 유의한 통증 감소 효과가 있었다. 본 연구 결과 리도카인 젤은 남성의 요도 내로 경성방광경 카테터를 삽입하는 경우, 남녀 모두에게 도뇨카테터 삽입을 하는 경우에 유용한 통증 감소용 윤활제로 확인되었다.

Unroofed coronary sinus syndrome is an uncommon anomaly which is caused by incomplete formation of the left atriovenous fold and it is usually associated with persistent left superior vena cava. It may be diagnosed by cardiac catheterization and cineangiography but, if it is not diagnosed, it can bring out significant complications due to right to left shunt, such as brain abscess, cerebral embolism, transient ischemic attack, arterial desaturation and there will reduced patient`s life expectancy. Therefore corrective operation was needed. A case of unroofed coronary sinus syndrome which combines with valvular heart disease was experienced at the department of thoracic & cardiovascular surgery of Kosin medical college. The patient was 49 years old female and she complained dyspnea on exertion for 2 yrs. Cardiac catheterization with cineangiography and both superior venacavogram were performed for diagnosis and she was diagnosed as unroofed coronary sinus syndrome combined with mitral and tricuspid regurgitation. Surgical correction was accomplished by reroofing of coronary sinus with pericardial patch, closure of atrial septal defect and annuloplasty of both atrioventricular valves. Postoperative results were satisfactory and course of recovery was uneventful. We report a case of unroofed coronary sinus syndrome with review.

Congenital coronary fistula is a rare condition, and with widespread use of cardiac catheterization, angiography and selective coronary arteriography are being recognized with increasing frequency. Fistula originating from the right coronary artery are more common than those from the left coronary artery. The fistula empties into the right side of the heart in 90% of the cases with the right ventricle being the most common recipient chamber, followed by the right atrium and the pulmonary artery. We report a case of congenital coronary artery fistula of the right coronary artery to the left ventricle with significant shunt in a 20 - year old female. It was detected by transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography and confirmed by cardiac catheterization and coronary angiography. The fistula opening was closed with 6-0 Prolene continuously under cardiopulmonary bypass and moderate hypothermia [ 28 oC ]. Postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged without specific problem.

It is common practice to use epidural catheter for anesthesia or for postoperative analgesia and other kinds of pain control. However, Intraspinal infection associated with this practice is rare event. We report a case of spinal subdural abscess occuring in patient who had recently received epidural catheterization. The cause in this case is not certain, although infection from the epidural catheter is the best possibility. We recommand an aseptic technique in all procedure for epidural or spinal analgesia.

Continuous epidural block can be useful in the management of acute and chronic pain. For the most effective analgesia, it is important to localize the tip of epidural catheter and the spread of radiopaque dye. Epidural catheterization was performed in 12 patients on the sitting position. Catheters were advanced by 10 cm cephalad in the cervical epidural space by median approach and radiopaque dye 3 ml was injected through the catheters. The position of cervical epidural catheters and the spread of dye was confirmed by radiography. The course of epidural catheter were: coiled 3/12 (25%), loop 2/12 (16.7%), straight 2/12 (16.7%). In 8 cases, the tip of epidural catheters were located within one vertebral segment from the level of insertion site. Radiopaque dye spreaded average 3.68 vertebral segment to cranially and 1.67 vertebral segment to caudally from the insertion site.

A 67-year old man with a history of cardiac disease underwent epidural catheterization for pain control of postherpetic neuralgia. Patient had severe back pain and pus discharge at catheter insertion site after dischange from medical part. Patient received anticoagulant therapy with $Aspirin^{(R)}$ and $Coumadin^{(R)}$ prescribed for 15 days in medical part. Magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) showed a diffuse $T_{4-7}$ anterior epidural mass compressing the spinal cord. Emergency surgical exploration revealed a thoracic epidural hematoma without abcess formation. Operation was successful and patient recovered satisfactory without any sequelae.

Anomalous origin of right pulmonary artery from ascending aorta is a rare congenital heart disease. We experienced a case of anomalous origin of right pulmonary artery from ascending aorta with associated patent ductus arteriosus and patent foramen ovale, which was diagnosed by angiocardiography and cardiac catheterization. The ductus was ligated just before bypass, and a Dacron-graft with a diameter of 16 mm was interpolated posteriorly to the aorta between the right pulmonary artery and the pulmonary trunk. The postoperative course was uneventful. The right heart catheterization and right ventriculography performed on postoperative twelfth day revealed widely patent anastomotic site between the right pulmonary artery and the pulmonary trunk without residual stenosis. She was discharged on postoperative fourteenth day.
