Abstract

Background : Varicose vein is a very common vascular disease and has recently become a matter of concern for thoracic and cardiovascular surgens. Material and Method : We analyzed 209 cases or 269 feet with varicose vein retrospectively, which had been treated in our hospital from April 1999 to December 2000. Result : Male : Female ratio was 1:3(Male : 52 cases, Female : 157 cases), mean age was 42.2$\pm$9.7 years old, mean duration of varicosities was 12.2$\pm$9.7 years, and mean follow up was 14.8$\pm$6.1 months from July 2001. Most common symptom was leg pain(122 cases, 58.4%). Long standing job(44 cases), pregnancy(37 cases), and family history related to varicose vein came to 79.9% as the major predisposing or precipitating factors. Anatomic classifications of main lesion were GSV (greater saphenous vein,126 cases), LSV(lesser saphenous vein,18 cases), and reticular veins and telangiectasias(65 cases). Main treatments were stripping of GSV, stab avulsion, ligation of saphenofemoral junction, sclerotherapy, and conservative treatment. Comparing A group (stripping of GSV) with B group(sclerotherapy of GSV), A group had more complications than B group; however, A group had less recurrences than B group(p 0.05). Comparing C group(stab avulsion of LSV) with D group(sclerotherapy of LSV), there were 2 cases of recurrence in D group; however, there were no statistical differences between the two groups in complication and recurrence(p>0.05). Comparing B group(sclerotherapy of GSV) with E group(sclerotherapy of reticular vein and telangiectasia), there were no differences in complication; however, B group had more recurrences than E group. Post-stripping complications were ankle numbness and tingling(2 cases), ankle pain(2 cases),ankle swelling(2 cases), and wound pain(1 case). Postsclerotherapy complications were thrombophlebitis(1 case) and skin ulcer(1 case). Conclusion: Sclerotherapy for varicose vein involving GSV had more recurrences than stripping for lesions involving GSV. Sclerotherapy for reticular vein and telangiectasia had less recurrences than sclerotherapy for lesion involving GSV. Sclerotherapy is a very convenient method without operation and admission, thus further research is demanded in case of varicose vein involving GSV.

배경 : 하지정맥류는 주변에서 흔히 볼수 있는 혈관 질환으로 흉부외과 영역에서도 최근 관심의 대상이 되고있다. 대상 및 방법 : 본 연구는 1999년 4월부터 2000년 12월까지 본원에서 치료한 하지정맥류 환자 209명 혹은 269족의 임상기록을 후향적으로 연구 관찰하였다. 결과 : 남자는 52명, 여자는 157명으로 1:3의 비율이었고, 연령은 평균 42.2$\pm$9.7세 이었으며, 평균 발생기간은 12.2$\pm$9.7년이었고, 평균 추적간은 2001년 7월을 기준하여 평균 14.8$\pm$6.1개월이었다. 증상은 하지 통증이 122례(58.4%)로 가장 많았다. 장시간 서있는 직업(44명), 임신(37명), 가족력이 있는 경우(7명) 및 이들의 조합이 주원인으로 전체의 79.9%를 차지하였다. 주병소는 대복제정맥까지 침범한 경우가 126례, 소복제 정맥까지 침범한 경우가 18례, 망상혈관 및 모세혈관확장증만 있었던 경우가 65례 있었다. 치료는 대복제정맥 발거,분절 절제술, 대복재정맥-대퇴정맥 연결부위 결찰, 혈관 경화요법 및 보존적 치료를 시행하였다. 대복재정맥을 침범한 경우 발거를 시행한 군(A군)과 혈관경화요법을 시행한 군(B군)을 비교했을때, 시술후 합병증은 A군에서 많았고(p 0.05), 재발은 B군에서 많았다(p 0.05). 소복재정맥까지 침범한 경우 stab avulsion을 시행한 경우(C군)와 혈관 경화요법을 시행한 경우(D군)의 비교시 D군에서 2례의 재발이 있었으나 합병증 및 재발에서 통계적 차이는 없었다. 혈관 경화요법에서 대복재정맥을 침범한 경우(B군)와 망상정맥 및 모세혈관확장증이 있는 경우(E군)의 비교시 합병증은 차이가없었으나(p 0.05), 재발률은 B군에서 높았다(p 0.05). 발거후 합병증으로는 발목 무감각 및 저린 느낌(2례), 발목 통증(2례), 족부부종(2례),창상감염(1례)등이 있었고, 혈관 경화요법의 경우 정맥혈전염(1례), 피부궤양(1례)등이 있었다. 결론 : 대복재정맥의 혈관경화요법은 발거술 보다 재발률이 높았지만. 망상정맥 및 모세혈관확장증에서의 혈관경화요법은 대복재정맥을 침범한 정맥류의 혈관 경화요법을 시행한 경우보다 재발률이 낮았다. 하지만, 혈관경화요법은 수술 및 입원이 필요없는 간편한 치료이기에 대복재정맥의 경우에도 더욱 연구 보완하여 적용하는 것이 필요하리라 생각된다.
