This report is a review of 55 cases of peripheral arterial disease, who were treated at the department of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, Masan Koryo General Hospital from January, 1986 to December, 1990. The result are summerized as follows ; 1. The incidence of peripheral arterial disease were as follows that : Arterial injury was in 21 cases(38.2%), arteriosclerosis oblitrans 18cases(32.7%), thromboembolism 9cases(16.4%), Buerger's disease was in 7cases(12.7%). 2. Overall male to female ratio was 6.8 : 1, the prevalent age was 3rd and 4th decade in arterial injury, 7th and 8th decade in atherosclerosis and thromboembolism and 5th and 6th decade in Buerger's disease. 3. The farmer was the first ranked occupation of these patients with chronic occlusive arterial disease, which was composed of 17 cases (68%). 4. 23 cases of patients with chronic occlusive disease has been smoking and most of them have been smoking over 10 years. 5. The clinical symptoms in acute and chronic arterial obstruction were pain, claudication, gangrene and coldness in order. 6. The duration of symptom of chronic arterial occlusive disease was less 1 years in 15 cases(60%). 7. The lower extremity were more affected than upper extremity in peripheral arterial disease. 8. The cause of arterial injury was traffic accident 9 cases(42.9%) stab wound 8 cases (38.1%), postangiography 2 cases(9.5%) and belt injury 1 case. 9.

Prostaglandin E1(PGE1) is a potent vasodilator and is a useful drug for the treatment of occlusive peripheral vascular disease. It has been used systemically via intravenous route or regionally via intraarterial route. We tried intravenous regional administration of PGE1 for the treatment of a patient with occlusive arterial disease involving left fingers. During the 13th injection, the patient complained of severe pain at the injection site during the drug administration. Thereafter, the patient developed painful and severe swelling with blebs on his left hand. Systemic antibiotics were given together with stellate ganglion block of the affected left side. PGE1 was substituted to reserpine, which is subcutaneously injectable, for the second term treatment.

Background: This study reports the result of endovascular treatment for arterial occlusive disease limited to femoropopliteal lesions, focusing on the recurrence of symptoms instead of patency. Methods: This was a retrospective, single-center study. From April 2007 to November 2011, 48 limbs in 38 patients underwent endovascular stenting or balloon angioplasty to treat femoropopliteal arterial occlusive disease. The factors affecting the recurrence of symptoms were analyzed. Results: The mean age of the patients was $69.60{\pm}7.62$ years. Among the baseline characteristics of the patients, initial hyperlipidemia was the most important factor affecting the recurrence of symptoms (relative risk=5.810, p=0.031). The presence of a dorsal arch was also a significant factor (relative risk=0.675, p=0.047). Conclusion: The major factors that affect the recurrence of symptoms after endovascular treatment for femoropopliteal arterial occlusive lesions are hyperlipidemia and the presence of a dorsal arch. Therefore, the usage of lipid-lowering agents after endovascular treatment and taking the presence of a dorsal arch into consideration are important elements of managing the recurrence of symptoms.

Ischemic monomelic neuropathy and myopathy are rare complications of peripheral arterial occlusive disease. We report a case of ischemic monomelic neuropathy of the right sural, common peroneal and posterior tibial nerves and ischemic myopathy of the right tibialis anterior resulting from the occlusion of the right common femoral arteries despite successful revascularization. Ischemic monomelic neuropathy and myopathy can occur as a result of occlusion of the specific peripheral artery.

Aggressive revascularization of the ischemic lower extremities in atherosclerotic, occlusive diseases or acute embolic arterial occlusion due to cardiac valvular disease by thromboembolectomy or an arterial bypass operation has been advocated by some authors. We have performed 68 first time vascular operations, including thromboembolectomies on RR patients with ischemic lower extremities, within an 11-year-and-6-month period, from January 1974 to June 1984. We have reviewed and analyzed our vascular operative procedures and post operative results. The patients upon whom thromboembolectomies were performed were 42 males and 13 females ranging from 5 to 72 years of age. The major arterial occlusive sites were common iliac artery in 20 cases, femoral artery in 21 cases, popliteal artery in 8 cases, common iliac artery and femoral artery in 4 cases, and femoral artery and popliteal artery in 3 cases. The underlying causes of arterial occlusive disease were atherosclerosis obliterans in 34 cases; Buerger`s disease in 3 cases; emboli due to cardiac valvular disease in 13 cases; and vascular trauma in 4 cases, including cardiac catheterization in I of those cases. Arterial bypass operations with autogenous or artificial vascular prosthesis were done in 31 cases. Amputations were done on 2 patients carrying out any more vascular operative procedures would have been of no benefit to them. Our bypass operations for ischemic lower extremities were classified as follows: those done between the abdominal aorta and the femoral artery in 17 cases, including those done between the aorta and the bifemoral arteries with a Y graft in four of those cases and long ones done from the axillary to the femoral artery in 4 cases. Five patients died in the hospital following vascular surgery for ischemic lower extremities, the causes of death were not directly related to the vascular reconstructive operative procedures. The leading causes of death were respiratory failure due to metastatic lung carcinoma: renal failure due to complications from atherosclerosis obliterans; sepsis from open, contaminated fractures of the tibia and fibula; and myocardial failures due to open heart surgery in one case and reconstructive surgery of the ascending aorta in another.

말초동맥질환은 하지혈관을 흔히 침범하는 폐쇄성 질환이다. 대동맥-장골동맥 부위에서 이를 치료하기 위한 재개통술은 전통적으로 수술적인 접근을 통한 우회술을 근간으로 하였으며, 최근에는 국소적이고 단순한 병변들을 위주로 혈관 내 접근법을 통한 치료법이 우선 권고되고 있다. 혈관 내 접근법은 그 최소침습적인 특성으로 인하여 수술의 위험성이 높은 환자에 대해서 활용하는 것이 일반적이었으나, 근래의 다양한 기법 및 기구의 발전으로 보다 다양한 질병 상태를 가진 환자에서 활용되어 수술적인 치료에 근접하는 결과가 보고되고 있다. 이 종설에서는 말초동맥 질환에 대한 진단 및 대동맥-장골동맥 부위의 혈관 내 재개통술에 활용되는 기법 및 기구들에 대해 살펴보고 그 역할에 대해 살펴보고자 한다.

The vascular surgery is the field that has developed in early 20 century and is progressing nowadays. Recent advance in surgical technique accompanying with excellent medical diagnosis and treatment, prompt angiographic usage, development of variable prosthetic material, and concomitant use of anti-coagulant have made remarkable results of vascular surgery. 83 cases of vascular surgery have been performed at Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery Department of Pusan National Unversity Hosaital since 1971 till 1990, for 20 years and their results are followed. Patient ductus arteriosus and Buerger`s disease were omited in this study. 1. The age distribution shows that the fifth and sixth decades are most frequently affected and mean age was 56.1 years old. Male to female ratio is 1: 2.32. 2. Among the 83 cases of all, number of occlusive vascular disease is 46 and that of aneurysmal disease is 33. 3. In clinical manifestation, most common symptom of occlusive disease is pulselessness and pain was next. Mass sensation is most commonly complained by patients of aneurysmal disease. 4. CT scan was more important in diagnosis of aneurysmal diseases and angiogram was more commonly used in occlusive diseases. 5. The common site of arterial occlusion was common iliac artery, femoral artery, aortic bifurcation, and external iliac artery, as its frequency rate. The most commonly affecting portion of aortic aneurysm was abdminal aorta, and descending thoracic aorta and femoral artery were next 6. Preoperative associated diseases were atherosclerosis[41 cases], hypertension[21 cases], valvular heart disease[11 cases], and diabetes mellitus[9 cases], etc, 7. Operative methods in ocllusive diseases were thrombectomy[36.9%], endarterectomy [10.9%], and bypass graft insertion[52.7%]. Among the bypass graft, Y-graft was used in 7 case, straight graft was used in 17 cases, and saphenous venous graft was used in 2 cases. 8. Postoperative complications were developed in 17 cases, and morbidity rate was 36. 9. Eleven patient were died within 1 month after operation, so operative mortality rate was 13.3%. 10. Duration of patency was beteween 7 and 58 months[average 27.5 months] in occlusive diseases and their 5-year patency rate was 56.3%. Duration of patency of aneurysmal disease was 20 months in aveage and their 5-year patency rate was 51.3%. 11. Patients of eleven cases of occlusive disease and two cases of aneurysmal disease required reoperation for variable reason. 12. 35 cases of patient have used anticoagulants: coumadin, ticlid, and persanthin-ASA combination.

동맥혈관 폐쇄 질환의 원인 중 동맥경화증에 의한 경우가 60% 이상을 차지하고 있다. 부위별로는 복부대동맥 및 하지동맥의 폐쇄가 가장 많은 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 2예의 증례는 양측 하지의 간헐적 파행이 지속되어 혈관조영술 시행 후 양측 대동맥-장골동맥 및 대퇴동맥-슬와동맥의 동반 폐색을 진단받고 각각 내과적 치료 및 혈관성형술을 시행하였으나 실효성을 거두지 못하여 본과에서 수술적 방법으로 근치술을 시행한 경우이다. 수술은 Hemashield Y graft를 이용한 복부대동맥-양측 대퇴동맥간 우회술과 자가복재대정맥을 이용한 양측 대퇴동맥-슬와동맥 우회술을 동시에 시행하였다. 수술후 환자의 증상은 소실되었으며 복부창상결손 외에는 특별한 합병증이 없었고 수술 후 시행한 혈관 조영술상 이식혈관의 유통성이 양호하였다. 환자들은 증상의 재발 없이 외래에서 관찰 중이다.
