Abstract

Background: Due to the concern of flow competition or retrograde steal, it has been generally suggested that the right gastroepiploic artery(RGEA) pedicled graft should be used in critical coronary stenosis lesion. The study was designed to evaluate the potential of retrograde flow competition in the RGEA pedicled graft by measuring the native pressure differences(PD) between the normal coronary artery and celiac arterial pressure, which would be compared with trans-stenosis pressure gradients(TSPG) in coronary artery occlusive disease. Material and Method: Between July, 1998 and February, 1999, pressures of the right coronary artery and the right gastroepiploic artery(or the celiac artery) were measured in patients with the patent right coronary artery(n=12). The PD between the arteries was compared with the TSPG in the occlusive coronary arteries(n=32). Result: The pressures of the normal right coronary artery and celiac artery were 143$\pm$23 vs. 134$\pm$17mmHg in systole(p<0.005), 74$\pm$13 vs. 73$\pm$14mmHg in diastole(p=NS), and 100$\pm$16 vs. 97$\pm$15mmHg in mean (p<0.05). The PD between the arteries were -8~25mmHg in systole, -4~7mmHg in diastole, and -1~10mmHg in mean. The TSPG measured in the occlusive coronary arteries were -4~19(7$\pm$5.8)mmHg in the lesion less than 75% stenosis vs. 7~74(27$\pm$18.3)mmHg in the 75% or over stenosis lesion(p<0.005). The normally existing pressure difference between the coronary arteries and RGEA(15~20mmHg) was significantlyless than the TSPG in .the occlusive coronary artery with 75% or over stenosis(p<0.001). Conclusion: If the pressure gradient between the RGEA and the coronary artery distal to the stenosis is the main determinant of development of retrograde flow competiton in the RGEA pedicled graft, the above data suggests that there will be little chance of competition when It is used in the coronary lesion with 75% or over stenosis.

배경: 관상동맥수술에서 동맥도관의 장점이 확인되면서, 우위망동맥(right gastroepiploic artery)의 사용이 점차 늘고 있다. 우위망동맥을 근위부 협착이 심하지 않은 관상동맥에 유근이식편(pedicled uaft)으로 사용할 경우 역행성 혈류가 발생할 수 있다는 보고들이 많아지면서, 수술 전에 역행성 혈류를 예측하려는 시도가 계속되고 있다. 본 연구는 정상 관상동맥과 우위망동맥 사이에 생리적으로 존재하는 혈압차(Vessure difference: PD)를 증명하고 협착 관상동맥의 경협착 맥압차(trans-stenosis pressure gradient: TSPG)와의 상관관계를 분석함으로써, 우위대망동맥을 유근이식편으로 사용할 때 역행성 혈류가 발생할 수 있는 근위부 협착의 정도를 예측하기 위해 고안되었다. 대상 및 방법,. 1998년 7월부터 1999년 2월까지 관상동맥 조영술에서 정상으로 판정된 12명의 환자에서 우관상동맥과 우위망동맥(혹은 복강동맥; celiac uef)의 압력을 측정하여 혈관 사이의 혈압차(PD)를 측정하였다. 관상동맥협착이 확인된 29명의 환자에서는 경협착 맥압차(TSPG)를 측정하였다. 결과:정상 환자군에서 우관상동맥과 우위망동맥의 수축기혈압은 143$\pm$23 : 134$\pm$17 mmHg(p<0.005), 이완기혈압은 74$\pm$13 : 73$\pm$14 mmHg(p=NS), 평균혈압은 100$\pm$16 : 97$\pm$15mmHg이었다(p<0.05). 동맥 사이의 압력차(PD)는 수축기혈압 -8~25 mmHg, 이완기혈압 -4~7 mmHg, 평균혈압 -1 ~ 10mmHg이었다(p<0.05). 관상동맥협착 환자군에서 경협착맥압차(TSPG)는 75% 미만의 협착의 경우 -4~l9(7$\pm$5.8) mmHg이고, 75% 이상의 협착의 경우 7~74(27$\pm$18.3) mmHg이었다(p<0.005). 75% 이상의 협착에서는 관상동맥의 경협착 맥압차(TSPG)가 우위망동맥과의 생리적 혈압차(PD) 보다 크고, 협착 원위부 관상동맥의 혈압도 우위망동맥 혈압보다 유의하게 낮았다(p<0.001). 결론: 관상동맥우회술 후 역행성 혈류의 발생원인이 우위대망동맥과 협착하부 원위부 관상동맥 사이의 압력차이라고 가정할 때, 본 연구의 결과는 우위대망동맥을 75%이상 협착병소에 유근이식편으로 사용할 경우 역행성 혈류가 발생할 가능성이 적어진다는 것을 시사할 수 있다.
