In this report, four unusual communications between external and internal iliac veins of the left side have been presented. The lowest communication was the narrowest measuring about 2 mm in diameter, the second measured 6 mm, the third had a diameter of 7 mm and the last communication measured 5 mm in breadth. The upper three communications were twisted in a helical manner. The internal iliac vein had its normal tributaries except that the iliolumbar vein drained into the external iliac vein at the level of the third communication. The external iliac vein was slightly dilated just below the level of lowest communication.

This study was performed to investigate the placental transfer and the human fetal utilization of amino acids at term of pregnancy. The plasma levels of 23 free amino acids in both the umbilical circulation ( umbilical vein and artery ) and the uterine circulation ( uterine vein and iliac artery ) of 34 pregnant women were measured at delivery by the cesarean section. In the umbilical circulation, 9 amino acids ( alanine, lysine, valine, leucine, arginine, isoleucine, ornithine, cystine, ${\alpha}-aminobutyrate$ ) were significantly higher and 2 amino acids ( glutamate, aspartate ) were significantly lower in the umbilical vein than in the umbilical artery. In the uterine circulation, alanine, tyrosine and methionine were significantly lower in the uterine vein than in the iliac artery. Glutamate was significantly lower in the uterine vein than in the iliac artery. According to these results, the origin of fetal plasma amino acids was discussed in terms of the metabolic conversions which would occur in the Placenta and the fetal utilization of amino acids was estimated.

임신말 여성의 태반을 중심으로 모체와 태아사이의 아미노산 이동 현상을 이해하고저 모체쪽의 antecubital vein, uterine vein과 iliac artery에서 태아쪽의 umbilical vein과 artery에서 혈액을 채취하여 23개의 혈장 유리아미노산 농도를 측정 비교하였다. 본 실험에서 얻어진 결과들을 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, glutamate를 제외하고는 모체의 antecubital vein과 태아의 umbilical vein의 아미노산 농도의 비는 1.21에서 3.21의 범위를 보여주고 있어 태아의 혈장 유리아미노산 농도가 모체에서 보다 훨씬 높았다. 둘째, 모체쪽의 iliac artery의 아미노산 농도와 태아의 umbilical vein의 아미노산 농도 사이에 존재하는 상호관계를 살펴보았을 때, 대부분의 아미노산들은 직선의 관계를 보였다. 이와같은 결과는 직선의 기울기가 1에 가까운 중성 아미노산은 단순확산, 직선의 기울기가 1과 상이한 염기성 및 산성아미노산은 단순확산과 능동적 이동과의 동적평형으로 해석되었으며, 따라서 태반은 아미노산에 대하여 단순한 장벽만의 역할을 하는 것이 아님을 의미하고 있다.

A 40-year-old male developed the swelling of the right leg one month after trauma on cycling. Conservative measures to relieve the swelling of the right leg for three months were failed. Venogram showed complete obstruction of the right common iliac vein. Crossover bypass [Palmas operation] with great saphenous vein graft for relief of venous stasis of the right leg was performed. Postoperatively, the swelling of the right leg was subsided and able to walk without edema of the right leg.

Inferior vena cava (IVC) injuries, while accounting for fewer than 0.5% of blunt abdominal trauma cases, are among the most difficult to manage. Despite advancements in prehospital care, transportation, operative techniques, and perioperative management, the mortality rate for IVC injuries has remained at 20% to 66% for several decades. Furthermore, 30% to 50% of patients with IVC injuries succumb during the prehospital phase. A 65-year-old male patient, who had been struck in the back by a 500-kg excavator shovel at a construction site, was transported to a regional trauma center. Injuries to the right side of the infrarenal IVC and the right external iliac vein (EIV) were suspected, along with fractures to the right iliac bone and sacrum. The injury to the right side of the infrarenal IVC wall was repaired, and the right internal iliac artery was ligated. However, persistent bleeding around the right EIV was observed, and we were unable to achieve proximal and distal control of the right EIV. Attempts at prolonged manual compression were unsuccessful. To decrease venous return, we ligated the right superficial femoral vein. This reduced the amount of bleeding, enabling us to secure the surgical field. We ultimately controlled the bleeding, and approximately 5 L of blood products were infused intraoperatively. A second-look operation was performed 2 days later, by which time most of the bleeding sites had ceased. Orthopedic surgeons then took over the operation, performing closed reduction and external fixation. Five days later, the patient underwent definitive fixation and was transferred for rehabilitation on postoperative day 22.

The problem of phlebothrombosis is an important one, not only because of its local effects, but because of the propensity for portions of the venous clot to berak off and travel back to the heart and into the pulmonary Artery. The result of pulmonary embolism, unfortunately is still as prominent a cause of death today as it was before the advant of modern advances in treatment and prevention. This paper reports a case of thrombosis of left common iliac vein left hypogastric vein and left common femoral vein, who had been bedmidden for two weeks because of left knee joint arthritis. Successfully treated with transabdominal direst venous thrombectomy and anticoagulant heparin. Authors also reviewed the references.

중심정맥혈전증은 흔히 관찰되는 질병이다. 그러나 그 원인 중 오른총장골정맥이 왼총장골동맥의 눌림과 협착에 의해 정맥 흐름이 방해받는 경우가 드물게 있으며, 이를 May-Thurner 증후군 또는 장골눌림증후군(Iliac compression syndrome)이라 한다. 이에 대한 치료는 중심정맥혈전증이 있을 경우에 카테터를 이용한 혈전 용해술과 혈전 용해 후 왼총장골정맥 내 스텐트(Stent) 삽입이 추천되고 있다. 저자들은 좌측 하지 부종으로 내원하여 시행한 정맥조영술상 May-Thurner syndrome으로 진단된 2예에서 혈전용해술 및 풍선확장술과 왼총장골정맥 내에 스텐트를 삽입하여 성공적으로 치료하였기에 관련 문헌과 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.

We performed three replacement operations of great venous obstruction with Dacron prosthesis from July, 1980 to Nov. 1980. Summary of 3 cases as belows: 1) Inferior vena cava obstruction . 43 years old male was admitted because of abdominal distension and marked superficial collateral circulation on chest and abdomen. Inferior vena cavogram showed complete obstruction of I. V .C. just below hepatic vein. Bypass operation was done between Rt atrium '||'&'||' I. V.C. (just above renal vein) with Woven Dacron prosthesis (22mm in Diameter) under ex tracorporeal ci rculation. 2) Superior vena cava obstruction . 21 years old male was admitted because of facial edema and irritative cough. Well circumscribed lobulated mass was located at ant. superior mediastinum and extended to Rt. thorax in chest P-A view. Woven Dacron prosthesis (10mm in Diameter) was replaced at involved S.V.C. segment after Rt. upper '||'&'||' middle lobectomy with tumor resection. 3) Common iliac vein obstruction (Lt) . 64 years old female was admitted because of generalized edema and tenderness of Lt. lower extremity. Venography of Lt leg showed complete obstruction of common iliac vein. Woven Dacron prosthesis (10mm in Diameter) was replaced at obstruction site.eplaced at obstruction site.

52세 여자 환자가 호흡곤란을 주소로 내원하였다. 환자는 2개월 전에 침습성 흉선종으로 광범위 흉선절제술을 받았다. 전산화단층촬영에서는 양측 폐에 수많은 소결절들이 발견되었다. 급성 호흡곤란 증후군이 악화되어 혈관외과의는 정맥-정맥 체외막산소공급(extracorporeal membrane oxygenation; 이하 ECMO)을 계획하였다. 왼쪽 대퇴동맥을 통해 경피적 삽관술을 시행하는 도중에 혈관외과의는 혈관 손상을 의심하였고 환자의 활력 징후가 불안정해졌다. 8일 전에 촬영한 복부 컴퓨터단층촬영에서 May-Thurner 증후군이 있었고, 이후 시행한 혈관조영술에서 좌측 총장골정맥의 파열이 발견되어 stent-graft를 삽입하여 출혈을 멈추었다. 8일 전 시행된 복부 전산화단층촬영을 확인해 보니 May-Thurner 증후군이 있었다. 이에 May-Thurner 증후군 환자에서 ECMO 삽관으로 인한 혈관 손상이 발생하여 스텐트 삽입술을 시행하였던 드문 증례를 보고하고자 한다.
