Re-188은 반감기가 17시간이고 진단을 위한 영상화가 가능한 감마선(155keV)을 방출하며 치료용으로 적당한 베타선(2.12MeV)을 동시에 방출하여 혈관성형술 풍선에 넣어 조사하는 접촉 베타선 방출체 치료용 방사성핵종으로 유력하다. 이 연구에서는 Re-188-DTPA를 관상동맥풍선 성형술시 풍선에 주입하는 방사성 동위원소로 쓸 수 있을지 알기 위해 우선 표지법과 풍선에서 혈관내로 샜을 때의 생체내 분포를 조사하였다. Re-188과 DTPA를 표지하는 방법을 확립하였고 표지효율은 95%, 실온과 사람 혈청에서 안정하였다. 마우스의 체내분포와 랫트와 실험견에서 얻은 신장 시간방사능곡선이 Re-188-DTPA가 신장을 통해 빠르게 제거된다는 것을 밝혔다. 이러한 결과는 Re 188-DTPA를 관상동맥의 재협착을 방지하기 위해 관상동맥풍선 성형술시 풍선에 주입하는 방사성 동위원소로 사용하여도 좋음을 시사한다.

Purpose: This study aimed to compare surgical revisions and balloon angioplasty after surgical thrombectomy on thrombosed dialysis access as a first event. Materials and Methods: Records of patients undergoing creation of arteriovenous grafts (AVGs) at the Gachon University Gil Medical Center between March 2008 and February 2016 were reviewed. Among them, patients who underwent treatment on first-time thrombotic occlusion after AVG creation were identified. Outcomes were primary, primary-assisted, and secondary patency. The patency was generated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and patency rates were compared by log-rank test. Results: A total of 59 de novo interventions (n=26, hybrid interventions; n=33, surgical revisions) for occlusive AVGs were identified. The estimated 1-year primary patency rates were 47% and 30% in the surgery and hybrid groups, respectively. The estimated primary patency rates were not different between the two groups (log-rank test, P=0.73). The Kaplan-Meier estimates of 6 and 12 months for primary-assisted patency rates were 68% and 57% in the surgery group and 56% and 56% in the hybrid group. The Kaplan-Meier estimates of 12 and 24 months secondary patency rates were 90% and 71% in the surgery group and 79% and 62% in the hybrid group. There were no differences in the estimated primary-assisted and secondary patency rates between the two groups. Conclusion: Our results showed no significant difference between the two groups in terms of primary patency (P=0.73), primary-assisted patency (P=0.85), and secondary patency (P=0.78). However, percutaneous transluminal angioplasty can give more therapeutic options for both surgeons and patients.

Background and Objectives: Atherectomy as a pretreatment has the potential to improve the outcomes of drug-coated balloon (DCB) treatment by reducing and modifying atherosclerotic plaques. The present study investigated the outcomes of atherectomy plus DCB (A+DCB) compared with DCB alone for the treatment of femoropopliteal artery disease. Methods: A total of 311 patients (348 limbs) underwent endovascular therapy using DCB for native femoropopliteal artery lesions at two endovascular centers. Of these, 82 limbs were treated with A+DCB and 266 limbs with DCB alone. After propensity score matching based on clinical and lesion characteristics, a total of 82 pairs was compared for immediate and mid-term outcomes. Results: For the matched study groups, the lesion length was 172.7±111.2 mm, and severe calcification was observed in 43.3%. The technical success rate was higher in the A+DCB group than in the DCB group (80.5% vs. 62.2%, p=0.015). However, the A+DCB group showed more procedure-related minor complications (37.0% vs. 13.4%, p=0.047). At 2-year follow-up, primary clinical patency (73.8% vs. 82.6%, p=0.158) and the target lesion revascularization (TLR)-free survival (84.3% vs. 88.2%, p=0.261) did not differ between the two groups. In Cox proportional hazard analysis, atherectomy showed no significant impact on the outcome of DCB treatments. Conclusions: The pretreatment with atherectomy improved technical success of DCB treatment; however, it was associated with increased minor complications. In this study, A+DCB showed no clinical benefit in terms of TLR-free survival or clinical patency compared with DCB treatment alone.

경피적 관상동맥 성형술의 성공율과 그에 영향을 주는 인자들을 알아보기 위하여 1992년 9월부터 1993년 8월까지 영남대학교 의과대학 부속병원에 입원하여 급성 심근경색증, 불안정형 협심증, 안정형 협심증, 경색후 협심증으로 진단된 172개소의 협착병소를 대상으로 하여 경피적 관상동맥 조영술 및 성형술을 시행하였다. 임상적 변수들로 나이, 성별, 협심증기간, 심혈관 위험인자, 임상적 진단명으로 구분하였고, 협착병변의 특정 및 술기적 변수들로는 American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology에 따른 분류, 병변혈관의 위치, 협착병소의 길이, 석회화 유무 그리고 팽창압력과 팽창시간들로 구분하였고 성공군과 실패군에서 각각의 혈관탄성반도를 구하였다. 관상동맥 성형술의 전체성공율은 87.2%이고 성별로는 여성이 93.5%로 남성보다 높았으며 임상적 진단에 따라서는 안정형 협심증이 93.7%로 가장 높았고 경색후 협심증이 77.7%로 가장 낮았다. 협착부위의 소견중 45도 이상 굴곡된 병변과 혈전이 있는 병변에서 성공율이 낮았고 성공군과 실패군의 비교에서 관상동맥 성형술 전의 지름 협착율, 혈관탄성반도, 그리고 병변의 길이가 실패군에서 유의하게 크게 나왔다(p<0.05). American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology 분류에서는 C형에서, 단일 혈관 질환보다는 다혈관 질환에서 성공율이 낮았고 그외 관상동맥 성형술전에 혈전용해 요법을 시행했을 때가 관상동맥 성형술만을 시행했을 때보다 성공률이 높았다. 결론적으로 관상동맥 성형술의 성공율에 영향을 미치는 인자로는 다혈관 질환, 45도 이상 굴곡된 병소, 혈전이 동반된 병소, Type C인 병소(p<0.05), 협착정도(p<0.05), 혈관탄성반도(p<0.05), 협착길이 (p<0.05)로 보이며 앞으로 더 많은 례에서의 연구, 검토가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

Bee sting causes mild symptoms such as urticaria and localized pain, and severe symptoms including anaphylaxis, cardiovascular collapse, and death. We reported on a patient with arterial thrombotic occlusion and severe ischemia in the lower limb after multiple bee stings. The patient was stung 5 times and complained of pallor, pain, and coldness in the left toe, and did not have dorsalis pedis pulsation. Computed tomography angiography showed multiple thrombotic occlusion of the anterior and posterial tibial artery below the knee. Local thrombolytic therapy using urokinase was administered and the occluded arteries were successfully recanalized.

Budd- chiari syndrome resulting from a membranous obstruction of the inferior vena cava[IVC is a rare congenital anomaly. From January 1989 to December 1993, 8 cases of IVC obstruction was treated in Kyung Hee Univ. Hospital. There were 2 male and 6 female patients between 34 and 66 years of age[mean 47.3$\pm$11.9 years of age . 4 patients were treated with angioplasty by balloon catheter and 4 patients were treated with operative correction using cardiopulmonary bypass, profound hypothermia and total circulatory arrest. These 4 patients were repaired the constricted IVC with autologous pericardial patch. In surgically treated patients, all of the specimens were confirmed to be membranous web histopathologically. Postoperative outcome in operative correcting patients was uneventful and postoperative angiography showed unobstructed flow through the IVC with filling of the hepatic veins.The above 8 patients were followed up from 10 months to 56 months [ mean 36.43 17.24 months and recurrent IVC obstruction or stenosis was not seen.

Objective : Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the Republic of Korea. Time is the most important factor in hyperacute stroke. Yet, there had been no protocol for mechanical thrombolysis. We have treated patients with hyperacute stroke by mechanical thrombolysis for 3 years. In current study, we analyzed the outcome of mechanical thrombolysis. Methods : From March 2008 to February 2011, 36 patients were treated with mechanical thrombolysis. Initially we treated the patients by aggressive mechanical clot disruption (AMCD) who were admitted within 6 hours after the symptom onset. If revascularization was not achieved, balloon angioplasty was performed, followed by stenting or temporary endovascular bypass was performed. The result in 15 cases was not so successful. Since then, we started using the thromboaspiration method as the first line treatment of the mechanical thrombolysis. Results : After using the thromboaspiration, we had better results in recanalization rate, modified Rankin Score (mRS) and reperfusion injury compared to AMCD. The recanalization rate was 80.85%, mRS is 2.85, and there was only 0.09% hemorrhagic formation. Conclusion : Even though thromboaspiration is not statistically significant due to the limited numbers of patients enrolled in this study, we think it is a good way in mechanical thronbolysis for hyperacute stroke.

Behcet's disease is a rare multisystemic disorder whose main pathological defectis vasculitis, and superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome without thrombosis is a very rare manifestation of the disease. These authors encountered a case of SVC syndrome without thrombosis caused by Behcet's disease. A 33-year-old man visited the hospital for aggravated dyspnea without any related medical and familial history. He had a threeday history of abrupt swelling of the face, neck, and right arm. He suffered from recurrent oral ulcer, and there were acneiform nodules on his face as well as redness and swelling at the site of the intravenous injection. On the multi-detected computed tomography (CT) chest angiograms (chest angio MDCT), the SVC narrowed without thrombosis. Venogram was carried out, and percutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty of the SVC stenotic site was performed. The following day, the swelling was found to have subsided. The details of the case are reported herein.
