본 연구에서는 심장의 박동영상을 방사선 투시법으로 관찰하여 심장질환을 진단하기 위한 실시간 처리 심장 디지탈 감산 조영 영상기법(cardiac digital subtraction angiography)을 개발하여 임상실험을 시행하였다. 평균 1초에 1번의 심장박동에 따른 주변부위의 운동에 의한 오차의 영향을 감소하면서, 좌심실 박동상을 32프레임까지 실시간으로 감산 처리하는 고속기억(512X512 해상도와 256 gray level) 및 고속 데이타링크 시스템과 프로세서를 개발하였다. 기억된 영상을 컴퓨터에 입력하고, 심장의 경계면을 Dynamic Programming을 사용하여 검출하고, 부피를 구하여 심장의 박동에 따른 최대부피(ESV)와 박동후 최소부피(ESV), 최대와 최소부피의 비율(EF)로서 표시되는 심박출계수 등 심장의 좌심실기능을 나타내는 생리계수를 영상으로 부터 구하는 알고리듬을 개발해서 임상실험을 시행하였다.

Purpose : To observe the patency of anastomosis site and the findings of circulation of grafted fibula in osteonecrosis of femoral head treated with vascularized fibular graft by use of digital subtraction angiography. Materials and Methods : 17 cases of 11 patients who underwent vascularized fibula graft for osteonecrosis of femoral head. We performed digital subtraction angiography(DSA) for them at second week postoperatively in 12 cases, at sixth week in 1 case, at sixth month in 2 cases, at twelfth month in 1 case, and eighteenth month in 1 case which had been got DSA at second week before. We observe the patency of pedicle, and the circulation of grafted fibula such as periosteal and intraosseous vessels with time. Results : All cases except one which were thought failure of selective angiogram showed good passage of blood flow through anstomosed pedicle on DSA. We found the differences in appearance of circulation of grafted fibula with time. DSA at 2nd and 6th week postoperatively revealed both of periosteal and intraosseous vessels along the fibula and blood pooling at the tip of fibula. DSA at 6th month showed maintenance of periosteal and intraosseous vessels along the fibula but did not clearly reveal blood pooling at the tip of fibula. The findings of DSA at 12th and 18th month were similar each other. The periosteal vessels were not seen as the grafted fibular bone were incorporated into surrounding femoral bone but intraosseous vessels were still seen. Conclusion : It was thought that DSA could be used for evaluation of the status of pedicle including anastomsed site and vessels of grafted fibula with time. The periosteal vessels of fibula were decreased with time but intraosseous vessels were still seen until 18th month after vascularized fibula graft.

Percutaneous techniques for femoral arterial access are increasingly being performed due to advances in endovascular cerebral procedures, as they provide a less morbid and minimally invasive approach than open procedures. Common complications associated with this peripheral puncture include hematoma, bleeding, pseudoaneurysm, arteriovenous fistula, retroperitoneal bleeding, inadvertent venous puncture, dissection, etc. The retrograde femoral access is currently the most frequently used arterial access as it is technically straightforward, allows for the use of larger size sheaths and catheters, allows repeated attempts, etc. Although being technically less challenging, grave complications can occur due to hardware failure. Here, we present a case of unruptured posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) aneurysm, who underwent uneventful diagnostic cerebral digital substraction angiography (DSA) via right femoral artery route on first attempt, but on second attempt for therapeutic intervention, landed up with stuck guide wire and faced decannulation difficulty due to unravelling of guide wire and multiple knot formation, which was finally removed after multiple attempts at pulling and improvised manoeuvres. Such cannulation and decannulation difficulties have been reported multiple times for central venous access, but extremely rarely for femoral routes, making this case a rarity and worth reporting.
