Abstract

Chronic pulmonary artery thromboembolism is a relatively rare phenomenon causing hypoxia and pulmonary hypertension that eventually leads to respiratory failure and right heart failure. Patients with acute pulmonary artery thromboembolism are generally treated with antithrombotics and thrombolytics. However, in cases with chronic pulmonary artery thromboembolism the fibrinized thrombus is so strongly adhered to the pulmonary artery wall that medical treatment becomes ineffective and surgical treatment must then be considered. We report a 47year old patient, with a history of repeated admission due to unresolved chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and chronic pulmonary artery thromboembolism at a local hospital, who underwent a successful endarterectomy of pulmonary artery thromboemboli using intermittent total circulatory arrest.

만성 폐동맥 색전증은 비교적 드문 질환으로 저산소증과 폐동맥 고혈압을 일으켜 결국 호흡부전 및 우심부전을 초래한다. 급성 폐동맥 색전증 환자들은 대부분 혈전 방지제, 혈전용해제 등의 내과적 치료에 잘 치료되나 만성 폐동맥 색전증의 경우 섬유화된 혈전이 폐동맥벽에 견고히 붙어있어 내과적 치료에는 별 효과가 없어, 수술적 치료를 고려할 수 있겠다. 본원에서는 만성 폐쇄성 폐질환 및 만성 폐동맥 색전증으로 진단 받고 타 병원에서 수 차례 입원 치료를 받아 오던 47세 남자환자를 간헐적인 완전 순환 정지를 이용하여 폐색전증에 대한 내막 절제술을 시행하여 좋은 결과를 얻었기에 보고하는 바이다
