Objectives: This study was aimed to report changes in clinical symptoms and signs after treatment with Korean medicine in patients who suffered from calf edema due to deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Methods: A 46-year-old male patient, who discharged home after receiving standardized treatment for acute DVT in the right leg, suffered pain and heat sense due to edema of the affected calf. Oral administration of herbal medicine (Gyejibongnyeong-hwan 4 g, twice daily) and acupuncture therapy were given to him for 6 weeks. The change in chief complaints, Villalta score, the right and left side difference of the circumference and the skin surface temperature of both calves, and blood level of D-dimer were observed before and after treatment. Results: The patient's chief complaints began to significantly improve from 2 weeks after treatment, and disappeared completely within 4 weeks. At the end of the treatment, a substantial decrease in the difference between the right and left calves in the circumference and skin surface temperature was observed. This effect was maintained even at the time of follow-up 3 months after the end of treatment, and the patient completely recovered indoor and outdoor life to the level before onset. Conclusions: This case suggests that Korean medicine treatment, including Gyejibongnyeong-hwan administration and acupuncture therapy, can be a viable option to improve edema and related clinical problems in the affected limbs due to DVT.

This case report shows the effect of Korean medicine treatment in a patient with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) after cerebral infarction who is suspected of having post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) due to the loss of thrombus after receiving new oral anticoagulant (NOAC) treatment. The patient was treated with Korean medicine (Boyanghwano-tang and Hyulbuchuko-tang) three times a day. Acupuncture, moxibustion, infrared, and extra-physical therapy were given to the patient for 24 days. Clinical assessment - grading of edema and circumference of the left lower extremity were observed twice a week until the end of the treatment. NOAC treatment was continued for 24 days. After treatment, the patient's edema grade and circumference of the extremity improved. On the 24th day, the patient's chief complaints improved, and she requested termination of treatment. The results suggest that Korean medicine treatments, including Boyanghwano-tang, Hyulbuchuko-tang, and acupuncture therapy, can be effective in improving the clinical symptoms of DVT and PTS.

목적: 고관절 주위 골절 환자에서 술 전 색 도플러 초음파 검사를 이용하여 심부 정맥 혈전증을 진단하고 그 발생 빈도를 알아 보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2013년 6월부터 2014년 5월까지 본원에 내원한 고관절 주위 골절 환자 중 이전에 심부 정맥 혈전의 과거력이 없으며 술 전 색 도플러 초음파 검사에 동의한 환자 27예를 대상으로 하였으며 남자가 8예, 여자가 19예이었다. 평균 연령은 74.3세(41-87)였다. 고관절 주위 골절의 진단명은 대퇴 경부 골절 15예, 대퇴 전자간 골절 11예, 비구 골절이 1예였다. 모든 수술은 본원 내원 후 48시간 이내에 시행하는 것을 원칙으로 하였으며 내원 24시간 이내에 색 도플러 초음파 검사를 시행하였다. 결과: 심부 정맥 혈전은 총 6예(22.2%)에서 발견되었다. 이중 2예(7.4%)는 근위 심부 정맥 혈전이었고 4예(14.8%)는 원위 심부 정맥 혈전이었다. 심부 정맥 혈전 발생 군이 평균 79세(75-87), 발생하지 않은 환자 군이 평균 72세(65-86)로 유의하게 많았다(p=0.038). 결론: 고관절 주위 골절 환자에게 수술 이전 실시한 색 도플러 초음파 검사상 22.2%로 비교적 높은 빈도로 심부 정맥 혈전이 발견되었다. 고관절 주위 골절 환자에서 술 전 심부 정맥 혈전증에 대한 보다 적극적인 검사가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

저자들은 객혈을 주소로 내원하여 선천성 폐동맥 부발육증으로 오인한 32세 여자환자를 폐색전증으로 진단하였고, 항응고제 투여를 통해 호전된 예를 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

하지 정맥의 심부정맥 혈전 제거술의 통례적 수기는 포가티 풍선 카테타를 이용하는 것이었다. 풍선 카테타는 정맥 내에 존재하는 판막의 방해 때문에 수기 상 불편한 것이 단점이다. 겸자(겸자, stone-forceps, Fig. 1)를 사용하면 장골-대퇴정맥 내의 혈전을 판막의 방해를 받지 않고 용이히 제거할 수 있다. 이 기구가 혈전을 꺼내는 동안 판막을 열어 제쳐주기 때문이다. 판막이 열린 상태를 유지 해주므로 이 기구는 장골정맥으로부터의 역혈류(back-flow)를 판단하는 데에도 유용하다. 서혜부 절개 이하의 하지 정맥 내 혈전은 종아리와 허벅지 근육을 효과적으로 압박하는 것만으로 성공적으로 제거할 수 있다. 수술의 순서는 장골 정맥 쪽을 먼저 하는 것을 권한다.

A rare syphilitic abdominal aortic aneurysm associated with pulmonary embolism and deep vein throbosis is reported. We have experienced a huge infrarenal syphilitic abdominal aortic aneurysm which caused venous compression at left common iliac vein. A 29 year-old female was admitted via emergency room due to several episodes of hemoptysis. Clinical evaluation for this patient revealed a couple of small ill-defined masss densities on the both lung field and abominal aortic anuerysm. Emergency wedge resections of left upper and lower lobes were performed because of a massive hemoptysis. Pathologic diagnosis showed pulmonary infarction. 20 days after thoracotomy an elective operation on abdominal aortic anuerysm was successfully carried out and post operative pathology finding showed syphilitic aortitis.

Lemierre's syndrome is rare disease characterized by anaerobic sepsis, internal jugular vein thrombosis, septic emboli that resulted from head and neck infection. Lemierre's syndrome has significant morbidity, so immediate, accurate diagnosis and treatment is needed. It is necessary to perform contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) for diagnosis. Systemic antibiotics is recommended, and surgical interventions, anticoagulation may beis considered for treatment. We report misdiagnosed case as a simple deep neck infection on initial ultrasonography with simultaneous abscess aspiration but finally diagnosed and treated internal jugular vein thrombophlebitis (Lemierre's syndrome) on CT scan. We report a case of a 45-year-old patient, who was diagnosed with a simple deep neck infection and treated with simultaneous abscess aspiration, but finally diagnosed and treated internal jugular vein thrombophlebitis (Lemierre's syndrome) on CT scan.

Venous aneurysms are uncommon in the lower limb and are more frequently found in the neck and thoracic and visceral veins. However, they have been reported to cause thrombosis, pulmonary thromboembolism, and other related complications. Popliteal venous aneurysms are often undetected because they are usually asymptomatic, but they may cause pulmonary thromboembolic events. We experienced a case of a 44-year-old man who was referred for recurrent pulmonary thromboembolism. He showed no other symptoms or signs except shortness of breath. A popliteal venous aneurysm was diagnosed incidentally because the examinations were performed to detect a deep vein thrombosis in relationship to the patient's history of pulmonary thromboembolism. We report a case of surgical treatment for a popliteal venous aneurysm that was complicated by pulmonary thromboembolism.
