We report a case of a postinfarction ventricular septal defect caused by an acute recurrent occlusion after the implantation of a covered stent, which was performed as a rescue procedure for the ruptured left anterior descending artery during a percutaneous coronary intervention. Although the emergent implantation of a covered stent for the ruptured coronary arteries such as the left main coronary artery or the origins of the left anterior descending artery can be performed during a percutaneous coronary intervention, and a coronary bypass surgery should be considered in order to decrease the risk of complete occlusion, thus providing a superior long term patency.

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) technique has been much developed but CABG under cardiopulmonary bypass has the unavoidable deficits such as generalized inflammatory reaction from cardiopulmonary bypass and myocardial ischemia from aortic-cross clamp. There has been remarkable advancement of CABG without cadiopulmonary bypass. We performed CABG successfully without cardiopulmonary bypass. We performed CABG successfully without cardiopulmonary bypass in two patients with multivessel coronary disease who were failed to intervene with percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. We herein report the two cases.

Purpose: This study aimed to provide basic data for vascular health of patient who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) by verifying the mediating effect of compliance in the relationship between risk level of coronary artery disease (CAD) and blood vessel elasticity. Methods: This is a descriptive study with 115 patients, who underwent the PCI a year ago and visited in the cardiology department from January to March, 2015. The risk level of CAD, blood vessel elasticity and the compliance were measured. For data analysis, SPSS/WIN 21.0 and AMOS (IBM) 21.0 were used. Results: There were a positive correlation with blood vessel elasticity score (i.e. inelasticity of the blood vessel wall) (r=.189) and a negative correlation with compliance (r=-.658) in mediating effect of risk level of CAD. There was a negative correlation between compliance and blood vessel elasticity (r=-.482). The direct effect (${\beta}=-.226$), indirect effect (${\beta}=.415$) and total effect (${\beta}=.186$) of mediating effect of risk level of CAD on blood vessel elasticity were significant. Compliance had a partial mediating effect of risk level of CAD on blood vessel elasticity. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that managing and preventing moderating effect of risk level of CAD on compliance is helpful in restoring blood vessel elasticity.

Background: A previous percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) may affect the outcomes of patients who undergo coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The objective of this study was to compare the early in-hospital postoperative outcomes between patients who underwent CABG with or without previous PCI. Methods: The present study included 160 patients who underwent isolated elective on-pump CABG at the department of cardiothoracic surgery, Minia University Hospital from January 2010 to December 2014. Patients who previously underwent PCI (n=38) were compared to patients who did not (n=122). Preoperative, operative, and early in-hospital postoperative data were analyzed. The end points of the study were in-hospital mortality and postoperative major adverse events. Results: Non-significant differences were found between the study groups regarding preoperative demographic data, risk factors, left ventricular ejection fraction, New York Heart Association class, EuroSCORE, the presence of left main disease, reoperation for bleeding, postoperative acute myocardial infarction, a neurological deficit, need for renal dialysis, hospital stay, and in-hospital mortality. The average time from PCI to CABG was $13.9{\pm}5.4$ years. The previous PCI group exhibited a significantly larger proportion of patients who experienced in-hospital major adverse events (15.8% vs. 2.5%, p=0.002). On multivariate analysis, only previous PCI was found to be a significant predictor of major adverse events (odds ratio, 0.16; 95% confidence interval, 0.03 to 0.71; p=0.01). Conclusion: Previous PCI was found to have a significant effect on the incidence of early major adverse events after CABG. Further large-scale and long-term studies are recommended.

경피적 혈관 봉합기는 혈관 조혈술 및 중재시술 후에 환자와 의사의 불편을 덜 수 있는 비교적 안전하고 간편한 방법으로 알려져 있으나 몇몇 합병증이 보고되고 있다. 본원에서는 경피적 혈관 봉합기를 사용하여 지혈을 받은 후 대퇴동맥 혈관내막염이 발생한 62세 남자 환자를 적절한 항생제 치료 및 자가 대복재정맥을 이용한 혈관 재건술로 성공적으로 치료하였기에 보고하는 바이다.

관상동맥병 환자의 치료에 풍선팽창스텐트 치료는 현재 가장 흔히 시행되는 관상동맥재개통 치료법이다. 그러나 경피적 관상동맥 중재술 이후 재협착은 여전히 주요 합병증으로 남아 있다. 스텐트 재협착을 진단하기 위한 도구로서 관상동맥 CT 조영술(coronary CT angiography; 이하 CCTA)는 과거에는 주로 번짐허상과 움직임허상으로 인해 내강을 정확히 판단하기 어려워 그 역할이 제한적이었다. 따라서 정확한 확인을 위해서 침습적인 고식적 관상동맥 조영술로 넘어가는 경우가 많았다. 그러나 근래 CT 기술의 발달로 민감도와 특이도가 모두 개선되면서 그 역할이 중요해지고 있으며, 특히 일관되게 음성예측도가 높게 보고되고 있다. 본 종설에서는 CCTA를 이용한 관상동맥 스텐트 재협착 진단의 과거와 현재, 그리고 최신 동향에 대해 알아보고자 한다.

Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between uncertainty in illness and the future, sick role behavior with what diet, weight control, no smoking, abstinence, doctor visits, medications, etc, and quality of life of rehospitalized patients after percutaneous coronary intervention in a cardiology ward. Methods: A total of 120 patients participated in the study. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, $Scheff{\grave{e}}$ test, and Pearson's Correlation Coefficient. Results: The mean score for uncertainty was $3.45{\pm}1.08$. Sick role behavior of the patients showed a moderate value with a mean of $3.68{\pm}0.79$. The mean score for quality of life was $3.52{\pm}0.64$. Uncertainty in illness and the future was significantly correlated to sick role behavior with that diet, weight control, no smoking, abstinence, doctor visits, medications, etc (r=-.27, p=.002), and quality of life (r=-.35, p<.001), and sick role behaviors were significantly correlated to quality of life (r=.62, p<.001). Conclusion: The results implicate that there is a need to decrease the levels of uncertainty and reinforce positive behaviors by patients in order to improve their quality of life.

Purpose: This study investigated the degree of stress, depression, mindfulness and life satisfaction of elderly patients who had undergone percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and identified factors influencing life satisfaction. Methods: Participants were 106 patients over 60 years who had undergone PCI in a university hospital. Results: The mean scores for stress, depression, mindfulness, and life satisfaction were $9.10{\pm}2.53$, $7.77{\pm}3.32$, $88.57{\pm}8.47$, and $17.40{\pm}5.38$ respectively. There were statistically significant differences in life satisfaction by main source of income (F = 4.74, p = .004) and perceived health status as compared with peer (F = 4.80, p = .010). Depression (p < .001) explained 38 % of the total variance of life satisfaction, and the explanatory power increased to 42 % when mindfulness (p = .035) was added. There were significant correlations among stress, depression, mindfulness and life satisfaction of the patients. Conclusions: Depression and mindfulness were significant influencing factors on subjects' satisfaction in life. To enhance the life satisfaction of the elderly patients after PCI, it is necessary to reduce depression and to develop mindfulness-based interventions.
