The isolated coronary ostial stenosis is rare and a critical lesion which requires urgent surgical intervention. Recently direct angioplasty is assumed as a preferable approach to conventional bypass grafting. From Mar. 1990 to Aug. 1993, six patients underwent direct angioplasty in Sejong Heart Institute. The mean age of 6 patients was 48 years [range 37 to 63 and they consisted with 5 females and one male. All had severe angina [class III or IV of short duration [mean 5.3 months and a low incidence of risk factors. Despite the crucial location of the lesion, most patients had well preserved left ventricular function and normal wall motion. We performed direct angioplasty with autologous pericardium via anterior approach except one patient who underwent direct angioplasty and CABG. One patient died 4 hours after angioplasty probably due to acute coronary dissection. The survived 5 patients maintain normal life without symptoms during 26.2 months follow up [range 5 to 47 months .Our preliminary results suggest that angioplasty of isolated coronary ostial stenosis in highly selected patient can be carried out with good results and relatively low operative risks.

배경: 좌주관상동맥 협착의 외과적 치료로 일반적으로는 관상동맥 우회술이 시행되지만, 정상적인 전향적 혈행을 유지시켜준다는 장점 때문에 좌주관상동맥의 성형술이 시행되기도 한다. 대상 및 방법: 저자들은 1994년 7월부터 1997년 12월까지 15례에서 좌주관상동맥 병변에 대한 혈관성형술을 시행하였다. 남자가 8명, 여자가 7명이었으며 연령은 평균 53.3$\pm$8.8 세이었다. 수술은 심낭의 비후가 있어서 복재정맥을 이용한 1례를 제외한 14례 모두에서 자가심낭편을 이용하여 협착부위를 확장하였고, 4례에서는 시야확보를 위해 폐동맥을 절단후 시행하였다. 5례에서 좌주관상동맥 성형술을 단독 시행하였고, 9례에서 관상동맥 우회술을 병행하였고, 1례에서 좌, 우 관상동맥 개구부의 동시 성형술을 시행하였다. 결과: 수술사망은 없었고, 1례에서 술후 4개월째에 좌주관상동맥 성형부위의 유의한 협착으로 관상동맥 우회술을 다시 시행하였다. 재수술을 시행한 1례를 제외한 14례중 8례에서는 수술후 1년째에 관상동맥 조영술을 실시하였는데, 50%의 국소협착을 보인 1례를 제외한 7례에서는 우수한 개존성을 보였으며, 평균 추적 기간 23$\pm$11개월(7-43)동안 15례 모두 흉통의 재발을 보이지는 않았다. 결론: 좌주관상동맥 협착에 대한 혈관성형술은 향후 장기적인 추적관찰이 필요하나, 비교적 우수한 수술 및 중기 성적을 보였다.

Background: The major limitation of arteriovenous graft access is the high incidence of thrombotic occlusion. This study investigated the outcomes of our salvage strategy for thrombosed hemodialysis arteriovenous grafts (including surgical thrombectomy with balloon angioplasty) and evaluated the efficacy of intragraft curettage. Methods: Salvage operations were performed for 290 thrombotic occluded arteriovenous grafts with clinical stenotic lesions from 2010 to 2018. Of these, 117 grafts received surgical thrombectomy and balloon angioplasty from 2010 to 2012 (group A), and 173 grafts received surgical thrombectomy and balloon angioplasty, with an additional salvage procedure using a curette and a graft thrombectomy catheter, from 2013 to 2018 (group B). Outcomes were described in terms of post-intervention primary patency and secondary patency rates. Results: The post-intervention primary patency rates in groups A and B were 44.2% and 66.1% at 6 months and 23.0% and 38.3% at 12 months, respectively (p=0.003). The post-intervention secondary patency rates were 87.6% and 92.6% at 6 months and 79.7% and 85.0% at 12 months, respectively (p=0.623). Multivariate Cox regression analysis demonstrated that intragraft curettage was a positive predictor of post-intervention primary patency (hazard ratio, 0.700; 95% confidence interval, 0.519-0.943; p=0.019). Conclusion: Surgical thrombectomy and balloon angioplasty showed acceptable outcomes concerning post-intervention primary and secondary patency rates. Additionally, intragraft curettage may offer better patency to salvage thrombotic occluded arteriovenous grafts with intragraft stenosis.

Surgical revascularization for patients with Buerger's disease is possible only in a few cases, due to the diffuse segmental involvement and the lack of distal runoff vessels available for bypass surgery. We encountered a case of resting pain in the right foot, coldness with dysesthesia, and cyanosis on the right 1st toe. The patient was treated with an endovascular intervention after vein patch angioplasty failed due to an inflammatory reaction of Buerger's disease. We suggest that an endovascular procedure can be an effective treatment, even in addition to more conservative and surgical management, in patients with Buerger's disease and critical limb ischemia.

One patient developing left main coronary stenosis following double valve replacement is reviewed. Angina pectoris developed 5 months postoperatively. Coronary perfusion with a balloon tip perfusion catheter was performed during previous operation and was considered technically satisfactory. Coronary angiography confirmed stenosis of the left main coronary artery. There was no further coronary arterial disease. An anterior approach between the aorta and pulmonary artery to expose the left main coronary artery was used and patch angioplasty was done. Repeat coronary angiography showed a widely patent left main coronary artery with excellent runoff. A careful search for coronary arterial injury should be made in all symptomatic patients following aortic valve replacement.

좌주관상동맥및 좌전하챙지기시부의 협착이 있는 환자에서 수술적 혈관성형술을시행하면 기존의 관 상동맥우회술에 비해 혈류방향이 전향적이 되어 심근으로의 산소공급에 도움을 주며, 향후 원위관상동맥협착이 생길 경우 경피적혈관성 형술이 시행 가능하고, 이식 편을 사용하지 않음으로 이 차로 관상동맥우 회술 시행 시용이 하다. 한림대학교 강동성심병원 흉부외과에서는 1994년 7월부터 1995년 12월가지 55례에서 관상동맥우회술을 시행하였고, 이중 7례의 좌주관상퐁맥 협착환자에서 좌주관상동맥성형술을 시행하였다. 좌주관상동 맥의 협착의 정도는 60-95%였고, 동반병변으로는 좌전하행지기시부 협착이 2례, 우관상동맥협착이 1 례, 둔각지 협 착이 1례 였다. 수술은 환자자신의 심낭 또는 우심낭을 이용하여, 좌주관상동맥 절개부위를 확장하였고, 좌전하행 지 기시부 협착이 동반된 2례에선 절개선을 좌전하행지의 협착원위부가지 연장하여 좌전하행지기시부도 함께 확장하였다 우관상동맥협착이 동반된 1례에선 우측내유동맥으로 관상동맥 우회 술을 같이 시행하였다. 수술후 심근경색과 조기사망은 없었고, 1례에서 심전도상 57-T파의 이상소견이 猾暳퓸\ulcorner추가로 좌 전하행지와 둔각지에 관상동맥 우회 술을 시행하였다. 퇴원전 시행한 관상동맥조영술상 7례에서 확장된 좌주관상동맥이 관찰되었고, 2례에서 경미한 봉합부협착이 보였으나, 흉통의 재발없이 외래추적관찰중이다. 이상에서, 좌주관상동맥협착 환자중 원위관상동맥에 이상이 없는 경우수술적 혈관성형술로 직접 확장하는것이 기존의 관상동맥 우회술의 대안이 될 수 있다.

Background: The left pulmonary artery (LPA) may be kinked and stenotic, especially in tetralogy of Fallot, because of ductal tissue and anterior deviation of the conal septum. If LPA stenosis is not effectively treated during total correction, surgical angioplasty is occasionally performed. However, whether pulmonary artery (PA) angioplasty in adolescents or adults improves perfusion in the ipsilateral lung remains unclear. Methods: This retrospective review enrolled patients who underwent PA angioplasty for LPA stenosis between 2004 and 2019. Among patients who underwent a lung perfusion scan (LPS) or cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI) pre- and post-pulmonary angioplasty, those aged >13 years with <40% left lung perfusion (p-left) in the pre-angioplasty study were included. Preoperative and postoperative computed tomography, LPS, and cMRI data were collected. The perfusion ratio was analyzed according to the LPA's anatomical characteristics. Results: Seventeen adolescents and 16 adults (≥18 years old) were finally included (median age, 17 years). The most common primary diagnosis was tetralogy of Fallot (87.9%). In all patients, LPA angioplasty was performed concomitantly with right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction. No patients died. Preoperative p-left was not significantly different between adolescents and adults; however, adolescents had significantly higher postoperative p-left than adults. P-left significantly increased in adolescents, but not in adults. Seven patients had significant stenosis (z-score <-2.0) confined only to the proximal LPA and demonstrated significantly increased p-left. Conclusion: PA angioplasty significantly increased ipsilateral lung perfusion in adolescents. If focal stenosis is confined to the proximal LPA, PA angioplasty may improve ipsilateral lung perfusion, regardless of age.

Objectives : Despite advance in the surgical treatment of the intracranial aneurysm, we have to be surgical complication. The aim of this report is to evaluate the complication and its management in intracranial aneurysm operation. Methods : We reviewed our exprience with interesting cases of surgical complication of intracranial aneurysm : 1) rebleeding, 2) intra-operative premature rupture, 3) missed aneurysm in angiography, 4) vasospasm. Results : The risk of rebleeding was not related to the patients' initial comdition, but all other intracranial complications occurred significantly more often in patients graded poor compared with patients in good clinical condition. Rebleeding before early surgery remains as major cause of unfavorable outcome. The causes of intraoperative premature ruptures were as follows : 1) dural opening and arachnoid opening(8.3%), 2) hematoma removal(12.5%), 3) brain retraction(16.7%) 4) aneurysm dissection(62.5%). The double suction technique and primary hemostasis using a small piece of cotton or temporary clip resulted in good outcome even in cases with premature rupture. The incidence of missed aneurysm in angiography occurred in 10%. The causes were as thrombosed aneurysm, vasospasm on feeder artery. The most common missed aneurysm is also the most common aneurysm(anterior communicating artery aneurysm). The repeated angiography were documented in missed aneurysm. Balloon angioplasty is superior topapaverine for treatment of proximal vessel vasospasm by viture of a more sustained effect on the vessel. Papaverine can be useful as an adjunct to ballon angioplasty and also for the treatment of distal vessels that are not accessible for ballon angioplasty. Conclusion : The minimization of the complications and active treatment can reduced the mortality and morbidity of ruptured aneurysm patients.
