Following intracoronary stenting, antiplatelet therapy lead to greater protection from thrombotic complication. A few data are available about the effect of clopidogrel versus cilostazol, an antiplatelet commonly used after intracoronary stenting. To evaluate the efficacy and safety of clopidogrel plus aspirin compared with those of cilostazol plus aspirin in coronary stenting and to evaluate the efficacy of clopidogrel loading dose prior to coronary stealing in clopidogrel group. Data were retrospectively collected from medical charts of patients who had undergone coronary stenting and received either clopidogrel with or without loading 300 mg followed by 75 mg/d (n=58), or 200 mg/d cilostazol(n=72) for 1 year, between January 2000 and May 2002. All patients in both groups received aspirin 200 mg/d throughout the study. The primary endpoints at 7, 30, 180 and 365 days after stealing were the composite of death, Myocardial Infarction, stroke, angina, and revascularization in the intent to treat population and restenosis at follow up angiography. The secondary endpoints were the incidence of bleeding complications at 7, 30, and 365 days, and durg adverse effects at 365 days after stenting. At 180 and 365 days after stenting, the combined primary endpoints were significantly reduced in clopidogrel plus aspirin group (relative risk 0.39; 95% CI 0.17 to 0.92; p=0.021, RR 0.43; 95% CI 0.22 to 0.84; p=0.0085, respectively). However, the combined primary endpoints were not significantly different between the two groups at 7 and 30 days (p:1.00, p=0.79, respectively). Angiographic restenosis rate was 14.3% in clopidogrel plus aspirin uoup and 32.1% in cilostazol plus aspirin group (p=0.19). 300mg of clopidogrel loading dose did not significantly reduce the combined primary endpoints at 30 days after stenting (RR 0.14; 95% CI 0.01 to 2.65; p=0.23). The rate of bleeding complications and drug adverse effects were not different between the two groups. In patients undergoing intracoronary stenting, clopidogrel plus aspirin therapy is more beneficial than cilostazol plus aspirin in reducing major adverse cardiac events with similar rate of bleeding complication. A loading dose of clopidogrel did not lead to a statistically significant reduction in major adverse cardiac events.

Purpose: This study was to test the effects of the positional change on low back pain, discomfort, and bleeding complications during the period of bed rest following transarterial chemoembolization (TACE). Methods: The research design for this study was a non-equivalent control group quasi-experimental design. The participants were 23 patients for the experimental group, and 23 patients for the control group. The experimental group received positional change of taking the semi-Fowler's position and the 30-degree lateral position alternatively during the period of bed rest after TACE for 4 hours at one-hour intervals. The control group maintained the supine position continuously during the period of bed rest after TACE. Results: There were statistically significant differences in low back pain and discomfort between the experimental and the control group after intervention. And no significant difference was found in bleeding complication between two groups. Conclusion: The results of the study suggest that the positional change is an effective nursing intervention to reduce low back pain and discomfort without increasing the risk of bleeding after TACE.

A Le Fort I osteotomy is a common procedure for correcting dental and facial deformities in orthognathic surgery. In rare cases, a delayed hemorrhage can occur as early as several hours or up to 12 weeks, postoperatively. The most frequently involved blood vessels in a delayed hemorrhage are the descending palatine artery, the internal maxillary artery, and the pterygoid venous plexus of veins. Intraoral bleeding accompanied by severe epistaxis in these cases makes it difficult to locate the precise bleeding focus. Eventual uncontrolled bleeding would require Merocel packing or surgical intervention. In general, a severe late postoperative hemorrhage is most effectively managed by angiography and embolization. Herein we describe a delayed hemorrhage case in which the cause was not evident on angiography. We were able to detect the bleeding point through an endoscopic nasal approach and treat it using direct cauterization.

A total of 30 cases of the peptic ulcer in children, who underwent operations from January 1981 to December 1995 because of complications at Department of the Surgery, Chonbuk National University Medical School, is reviewed. Twenty-three were males (76.7%), 7 females (23.3%) and male was preponderant at 3.3:1. There were 25 cases (83.3%) age 10 to 15 years, 3(10.0%) between 2 and 9 years, and 2 (6.7%) below 2. The ulcer was located at duodenum in 27(90.0%), and at stomach in 3 cases (10.0%). Complications were perforation in 19 cases (63.3%), pyloric obstruction in 9 (30.0%) and bleeding in 2 (6.7%). For perforation, truncal vagotomy with pyloroplasty was done in 11 cases, truncal vagotomy with hemigastrectomy and gastrojejunostomy in 6, and simple closure in 2 cases. For obstruction, truncal vagotomy with hemigastrectomy and gastrojejunostomy was done in 5, and truncal vagotomy and pyloroplasty in 3 cases. For bleeding lesions, truncal vagotomy and pyloroplasty was performed in 2 cases. Ten postoperative complications developed in 9 patients: adhesive ileus in 5, recurrence in 2, pneumonia 2, and wound seroma 1 case. One patient developed a primary duodenal perforation and another a recurrent obstruction. Both of patients had symptoms for more than 3 years and were treated with truncal vagotomy and pyloroplasty for the primary operations. Hospital stay was 11.5 days for the patient with perforated ulcer, 11.0 days for the patient with pyloric obstruction, and 14.5 days for the child with bleeding. Average hospital period was 11.6 days. To reduce recurrences after operation, extensive procedure such as distal gastrectomy with vagotomy at the first operation should be considered in case with severe complication or with patients who have been symptomatic for long periods.

Purpose: Tumor bleeding is a major complication in inoperable gastric cancer. The study aim was to investigate the effects of proton pump inhibitor (PPI) treatment for the prevention of gastric tumor bleeding. Materials and Methods: This study was a prospective double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial. Patients with inoperable gastric cancer were randomly assigned to receive oral lansoprazole (30 mg) or placebo daily. The primary endpoint was the occurrence of tumor bleeding, and the secondary endpoints were transfusion requirement and overall survival (OS). Results: This study initially planned to enroll 394 patients, but prematurely ended due to low recruitment rate. Overall, 127 patients were included in the analyses: 64 in the lansoprazole group and 63 in the placebo group. During the median follow-up of 6.4 months, tumor bleeding rates were 7.8% and 9.5%, in the lansoprazole and placebo groups, respectively, with the cumulative bleeding incidence not statistically different between the groups (P=0.515, Gray's test). However, during the initial 4 months, 4 placebo-treated patients developed tumor bleeding, whereas there were no bleeding events in the lansoprazole-treated patients (P=0.041, Gray's test). There was no difference in the proportion of patients who required transfusion between the groups. The OS between the lansoprazole (11.7 months) and the placebo (11.0 months) groups was not statistically different (P=0.610). Study drug-related serious adverse event or bleeding-related death did not occur. Conclusions: Treating patients with inoperable gastric cancer with lansoprazole did not significantly reduce the incidence of tumor bleeding. However, further studies are needed to evaluate whether lansoprazole can prevent tumor bleeding during earlier phases of chemotherapy (ClinicalTrial.gov, identifier No. NCT02150447).

Purpose: Operative morbidity and mortality from gastric cancer have decreased in recent years, but many studies have demonstrated that its prevalence is still high. Therefore, we investigated the risk factors for morbidity and mortality considering the type of complication in patients with gastric cancer. Materials and Methods: A total of 259 gastrectomies between 2004 and 2008 were retrospectively reviewed. Results: Overall morbidity and mortality rates were 26.6% and 1.9%, respectively. A major risk factor for morbidity was combined resection (especially more than two organs) (P=0.005). The risk factors for major complications in which a re-operation or intervention were required were type of gastrectomy, upper location of lesion, combined resection, and respiratory comorbidity (P=0.042, P=0.002, P=0.031). Mortality was associated with preexisting neurologic disease such as cerebral stroke (P=0.016). In the analysis of differen complication's risk factors, a wound complication was not associated with any risk factor, but combined resection was associated with bleeding (P=0.007). Combined resection was an independent risk factor for a major complication, surgical complication, and anastomotic leakage (P=0.01, P=0.003, P=0.011, respectively). Palliative resection was an independent risk factor for major complications and a previous surgery for malignant disease was significantly related to anastomosis site leakage (P=0.033, P=0.007, respectively). Conclusions: The risk factors for gastrectomy complications of gastric cancer were combined resection, palliative resection, and a previous surgery for a malignant disease. To decrease post-gastrectomy complications, we should make an effort to minimize the range of combined resection, if a palliative gastrectomy is needed for advanced gastric cancer.

목적 : 자궁경부암의 경우 종양에 충분한 양의 방사선을 조사하기 위해서는 직장도 고선량의 방사선을 받게 된다. 이로 인해 직장염을 비롯한 만성부작용이 발생하며 직장 출혈 빈도를 $5\~30\%$ 보고하고 있다. 저자는 완치 목적의 방사선치료를 받은 자궁경부암 환자들을 대상으로 직장 출혈 빈도와 그와 관련된 위험인자들을 분석하고 치료 방법을 살펴보고자 한다. 대상 및 방법 : 1994년 9월과 1999년 12월 사이에 방사선 단독치료를 받은 213명의 자궁경부암 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 90명이 외부 방사선치료의 일부를 하루 2회씩 받았다(변형된 다분할 방사선치료). 자궁주위조직의 외부 방사선량은 총 $51\~59\;Gy$였고 근접방사선치료로 A점에 총 $28\~30\;Gy$ (4 Gy씩 7회 혹은 5 Gy씩 6회)를 조사하였다. 직장에 조사된 선량은 ICRU 38에서 정한 위치와, 모의촬영필름에서 바리움에 의해 구분되는 직장 앞쪽 벽의 한 점을 선정하여 계산하였다. 직장출혈의 정도는 LENT/SOMA에 따라 분류하였다. 추적관찰 기간은 $12\~86$개월(중앙값 39개월)이었다. 결과 : 27명$(12.7\%)$의 환자에서 직장출혈이 발생하였다(등급 2와 3:각각 16명과 2명, $8.5\%$). 이들 중에서 추적관찰 기간동안 질-직장루 또는 폐쇄로 진행된 경우는 없었다 발생시기는 대부분의 환자에서$(92.6\%)$ 치료 종료 후 2년 이내였다(중앙값 16개월). 단변량분석에서 위험인자로 icruCRBED (직장이 받은 총 생물학적 동등선량), 자궁주위조직의 방사선량, 및 병기였다. icruCRBED가 100 미만인 경우와 100 이상인 경우 $4.2\%$ 대 $19.7\%$, 자궁주위조직에 대한 조사선량 55 Gy 미만과 그 이상인 경우가 $5.1\%$ 대 $22.1\%$, 병기 II 이하인 경우와 III 이상인 경우가 $10.5\%$ 대 $31.8\%$였다. 다변량분석에서는 icruCREED 만이 유의하였다(0=0.0432). 등급 1 출혈은 자연적으로 소실되거나(3명) $1\~2$개월의 sucralfate 관장으로 멈추었다. 등급 2의 환자 6명은 $1\~2$개월 동안 sucralfate 관장으로 출혈의 빈도와 양이 줄어들었고 이 중 4명은 전기응고술을 추가로 시행하였다. 다른 9명은 전기응고술을 먼저 시행하였다(4명; sucralfate 관장 병행). 모두 $3\~10$개월 내에 정지되었다. 등급 3의 출혈은 잦은 전기응고술과 수혈을 요하였다. 결론 : 본 연구에서 중등도 이상의 직장출혈빈도가 $8.5\%$로 타 문헌에서 보고된 빈도와 유사한 결과였다. 직장에 조사된 총 생물학적 동등선량이 100 Gy 이상인 경우에 직장출혈이 유의하게 증가하므로, 치료계획시 생물학적 동등선량을 고려함으로써 휴유증 감소에 도움이 될 것으로 생각된다. 직장출혈이 발생한 환자에서 조기에 적극적으로 치료를 시행함으로써 출혈로 인한 불편함을 신속하게 해결하고 이로 인한 심리적 불안감을 해소할 수 있으며 나아가 삶의 질 향상에도 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Vascular injury during lumbar disc surgery is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication. It has been managed by open vascular surgical repair. With recent technologic advance, endovascular treatment became one of effective treatment modalities. We present a case of a 32-year-old woman who suffered with common iliac artery injury during lumbar disc surgery that was treated successfully by endovascular repair with temporary balloon occlusion and subsequent insertion of a covered stent. Temporary balloon occlusion for 1.5 hours could stop bleeding, but growing pseudoaneurysm was identified at the injury site during the following 13 days. It seems that the temporary balloon occlusion can stall bleeding from arterial injury for considerable time duration, but cannot be a single treatment modality and requires subsequent insertion of a covered stent.
