Abstract

Background: Peripheral arterial disease is frequently accompanied with systemic arteriosclerosis and more than half of the cause of deaths is due to the development of coronary arterial disease. Moreover, it is known that the most frequent cause of death after a bypass surgery of chronic arterial obstruction is heart related complications. Especially in patients with atherosclerotic arterial obstruction in the lower extremities who had no history of heart disease or had no presenting symptoms of ischemic heart disease showed a high rate of postoperative mortality and for this reason we suggest preoperative evaluation in these patients to evaluate whether or not coronary arterial disease is accompanied. Material and Method: Since Feb. 2001 to Oct. 2004, we analyzed 52 patients who were operated on for atherosclerotic arterial obstruction in the lower extremities, with the exception of patients with a past history of heart disease or symptoms of ischemic heart disease. They underwent on the same day a coronary and femoral angiography for evaluation of accompanying coronary arterial disease. Of among these patients, we compared those who received bypass surgery of the arteries of the peripheral extremities alone to those who underwent combined coronary artery bypass surgery. Result: 63% of the reported cases of atherosclerotic arterial obstruction in the lower extremities were accompanied with coronary arterial disease. Old age, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, smoking, and hypercholesterolemia are known risk factors for arteriosclerosis and of these, only old age and hypertension had statistically significance in patients with severe atherosclerotic arterial obstruction in the lower extremities accompanied with coronary arterial disease. Diabetes, smoking, and hypercholesterolemia showed no statistical significance in this group. With the increase in severity of the range and the degree of atherosclerotic arterial obstruction, coronary arterial disease is frequently accompanied and its severity also increased. Patients who received both peripheral artery and coronary artery bypass surgery showed no difference in the period of hospitalization and ICU stay period compared with patients who received bypass surgery of the arteries of the lower extremities alone. Conclusion: Patients with atherosclerotic arterial obstruction in the lower extremities without symptoms of ischem to evaluate coronary arterial disease for active treatment, especially in the patients with old age, hypertension and high AVD scores.

배경: 죽상동맥경화성 하지동맥폐쇄증은 대부분의 경우에 전신 동맥 경화증이 동반되며 사망의 원인으로는 주로 반 이상이 관상동맥질환에 의하여 발생한다. 또한 만성 동맥폐쇄증 수술 후 수술 사망 원인은 심장 합병증에 의한 사망이 가장 빈번한 것으로 알려져 있다. 특히 죽상동맥경화성 하지동맥폐쇄증 환자에게 과거에 심질환이 없거나 허혈성 심질환의 주증상이 없던 경우에 수술 후 높은 사망률을 보이는데 이런 이유로 이 환자군에 대한 관상동맥질환의 동반 여부에 대한 수술 전 검사의 필요성이 제기되는 바이다. 대상 및 방법: 2001년 2월부터 2004년 10월까지 죽상동맥경화성 하지동맥폐쇄증으로 입원한 환자 중 과거력상 심질환이 있었거나 허혈성 심질환이 주증상이었던 환자를 제외한 52명의 환자를 대상으로 관상동맥조영술과 하지동맥조영술을 동시에 시행하여 죽상동맥경화성 하지동맥폐쇄증에서 관상동맥질환의 동반 빈도를 파악하였다. 또한 죽상동맥경화성 하지동맥폐쇄증의 중증도를 나타내는 AVO score와 동반된 관상동맥질환과의 상관관계를 비교하였다. 결과: 죽상동맥경화성 하지동맥폐쇄증에서 관상동맥질환을 동반한 경우는 63%(33명)였고, 고령, 당뇨, 고혈압, 흡연력, 고콜레스테롤혈증 등의 동맥 경화증의 위험인자 중 고령과 고혈압이 관상동맥 질환을 동반하는 죽상동맥경화성 하지동맥폐쇄증의 중증도와 통계학적인 의미를 보였다. AVO score가 높을수록 관상동맥 질환의 동반이 흔하였고 관상동맥질환의 중증도 역시 증가되는 소견을 보였다. 관상동맥질환이 동반된 죽상동맥경화성 하지동맥폐쇄증 환자에서 관상동맥 우회술 및 관상동맥 중재적 시술을 병합하여 하지동맥 우회술을 시행한 경우, 하지동맥 우회술의 단독시행에 비해 사망률이 현저히 감소하였다. 결론: 과거력상 심질환이 없거나 허혈성 심질환의 주증상이 없는 죽상동맥경화성 하지동맥폐쇄증 환자에서 특히, 고령, 고혈압, AVO score가 높은 환자군에서는 수술 전 관상동맥조영술을 시행하여 동반되는 관상동맥 질환을 파악한 뒤 이에 대한 적극적인 치료를 시행하여야 한다.
