Purpose: This study compared the characteristics of and the prognosis for intraperitoneal and retroperitoneal/pelvic contrast extravasation, which had been confirmed by enhanced abdominal CT scan, after blunt trauma in patients who had undergone angiographic embolization. Methods: From January 2001 to March 2009, data were retrospectively collected regarding patients who had undergone contrast extravasation (CE) on CT scanning and arterial embolization after blunt trauma. The study patient group was divided into the intraperitoneal and the retroperitoneal/pelvic groups according to the area of contrast extravasation. We reviewed the initial demographic data, the location of injury, the solid organ injury, the embolized vessel, and the clinical outcome. Results: The mean age of the study subjects was $40.2{\pm}2.6$ years old, and there were 24 male patients. The intraperitoneal group included 10 patients, and retroperitoneal/pelvic group was comprised of 17 patients. The amount of transfusion from presentation to intervention and during the first 24 hours was greater in the retroperitoneal/pelvic group than in the intraperitoneal group. The intraperitoneal group showed a higher frequency and severity of liver injury than the retroperitoneal/pelvic group. Angiography revealed that the hepatic artery (n=4) was the most frequently embolized vessel in the intraperitoneal group, while the internal iliac artery (n=6), followed by the renal artery (n=4), internal pudendal artery (n=3), and the gluteal artery (n=2), were the most frequently injured vessels in the retroperitoneal/pelvic group. Conclusion: In patients with intra-abdominal contrast extravasation found on CT scanning and arterial embolization after blunt trauma, the need for transfusion was less in the intra-abdominal group than in the retroperitoneal/pelvic group. Liver injury was also more frequent and severe in the intraperitoneal group than in the retroperitoneal/pelvic group.

신성 고혈압은 신동맥의 협착 혹은 폐색으로 인해 유발되는 전신성 고혈압이다. 최근에는 신동맥의 재개통을 위해 PTRA가 선호되고 있지만, 복잡한 경우에 있어서는 신 자가이식이 대안적인 치료방법으로서 시행되어 왔다. 저자들은 심각한 고혈압 증상을 보인 14세 남자 환아를 PTRA 및 신 자가이식을 시행하여 성공적으로 치료하였기에 보고하는 바이다. 도플러 초음파 검사와 CT 혈관조영술상 우측 신동맥 기시부에서 약간의 좁아짐과 다발적인 측부순환을 동반한 좌측 신동맥 기시부의 완전폐색이 확인되었다. 우측 신동맥 협착의 치료를 위해 PTRA와 스텐트 삽입술을 시행하였으나 좌측 신동맥은 완전폐색으로 인해 시술이 불가능하여 좌측 신장을 절제한 후 동측 장골와에 자가이식하였다. 수술 후 시행한 도플러 초음파 검사와 MAG-3 신주사 검사상 신혈류와 신기능은 정상이었다. 혈압은 정상화되었으며 항고혈압제 투여도 점차 중단하였다. 임상적인 특성을 고려할 때 신성 고혈압의 원인은 섬유근성 형성이상으로 생각되었다. 결론적으로 신 자가이식은 혈관내 중재적 시술이 실패하였거나 불가능한 경우에 선택할 수 있는 치료방법이다.

We performed 17 intraarterial scintigraphies in six patients with recurrent cervix cancer. With Seldinger method, the agent (four different radiopharmaceuticals) was perfused at the same speed of infusion of anticancer drugs (25 cc/hour) through internal iliac artery. There were four different radiopharmaceuticals; I-131-Lipiodol, Tc (Technetium)-99m-HSa (Human Serum Albumin), $^{99m}Tc-Sucralfate$ and $^{99m}Tc-MAA$ (Macroaggraegated Albumin). We evaluate the distribution pattern of radioactivity by the use of ratio of Tumor/Extratumor uptake (T/ET ratio). Our results reveals that $^{99m}Tc-MAA$ scan showed the highest T/ET ratio and the other were not ideal agents for intraarterial therapy of recurrent cervix cancer. In conclusion, an ideal radioisotope and tracer which can block capillary, for example MAA, should be re-evaluated or produced in order to treat the patient with recurrent cervix cancer.

We introduce a convenient method of urethrography before catheterization for patients with pelvic trauma that can be used in a resuscitation area. A 10-mL syringe without a needle was used. X-ray contrast medium (Iohexol, 300 mg I/mL) was administered through the urethral orifice using a 10-mL syringe without needle and a simple pelvic anteroposterior film was taken (70 kilovolt [peak], 50 mAs). A 36-year-old soldier with a saddle injury from a gun barrel was taken to a trauma center. He had a pelvic fracture and complained of hematuria. Bedside urethrography above described was performed. The anterior urethra showed nonspecific findings, but dye leaked from the posterior urethra. Bedside Foley catheter insertion was attempted, but the catheter could not be advanced past the membranous urethra. Thereafter, suprapubic catheterization was performed. On the day of the injury, iliac artery embolization was carried out. The dislocated sacroiliac joint was also treated using open reduction and internal fixation. On hospital day 7, guidewire Foley insertion was performed. This bedside urethrography technique is simple and useful for pelvic fractures in which urethral injury is suspected.

Hematoma is quite a common complication of femoral arterial catheterization. However, to the best of our knowledge, there have been no previous studies regarding deep vein thrombosis (DVT) caused by compression of a vein due to a hematoma. We report a case of a hematoma developing after femoral arterial catheterization and causing extensive symptomatic DVT. A 59-year-old male was seen in our Emergency Department with right lower leg swelling 15 days after coronary stent implantation performed using right femoral artery access. Computed tomographic (CT) scanning revealed a large hematoma (45 mm in its longest diameter) compressing the common femoral vein and with DVT from the right external iliac vein to the popliteal vein. Due to the extensive DVT involvement, we decided to release the compressed common femoral vein by surgical evacuation of the large hematoma. However, even following evacuation of the hematoma, as the DVT did not resolve soon, further mechanical thrombectomy and catheter-directed thrombolysis were performed. Angiography then showed nearly resolved DVT, and the leg swelling was improved. The patient was discharged with the anticoagulation medication, warfarin.

메이-터너 증후군은 좌측 장골정맥이 우측 총장골동맥에 눌러져 발생하는 장골-대퇴정맥의 심부정맥 혈전증이다. 비록 카테터를 이용한 혈전제거 술과 혈전용해 및 스텐트 삽입술이, 기술적 수월함과 낮은 재발율로 인해 급성기 혹은 아급성기의 메이-터너 증후군 환자들에게 보편적인 치료법으로 인식되고 있지만 일부 환자에서는 치명적인 합병증을 일으킬 수 있다. 더군다나 만성 메이-터너 증후군 환자에서의 궁극적인 적절한 치료법은 아직 정립되어 있지 않다. 저자들은 2예의 만성 메이-터너 증후군 환자에서 혈관 내 치료법 실패 후 수술적 혈전제거 술과 스텐트 삽관술, 동정맥루 조성술을 적용하였다. 이러한 수술적 치료법은 일부 혈관 내 치료가 적응증이 될 수 없는 환자에게 유의한 치료법으로 이용될 수 있을 것이다.

A군 사슬알균에 의한 감염성 가성동맥류는 심장 수술 과거력이나 혈관 질환이 있는 환자에서 보고 되어 왔다. 저자들은 이전에 건강하던 5세 남아가 성홍열이 의심되는 상태에서 하지 통증을 호소하여 원인을 찾던 중 A군 사슬알균 균혈증과 함께 오른쪽 내장골동맥의 감염성 가성동맥류를 확인한 사례를 경험하였다. 기저 질환이 없던 성홍열 환자에서도 균혈증뿐만 아니라 가성동맥류와 같은 심각한 침습성 합병증이 생길 수 있으므로 성홍열 환자 진료 시 주의가 필요하다.

Purpose: This study was to evaluate the effect of arterial embolization on survival in patients with pelvic bone fractures and arterial bleeding. Methods: From January 2001 to December 2007, in all, 18 patients with pelvic bone fractures that had been treated with interventional arterial embolization were included in this retrospective study. The Injury Severity Score (ISS), the Revised Trauma Score (RTS), the initial hemodynamic status, the blood gas analysis, blood transfusion data, and mortality were the main outcome measurements. Results: Pelvic bone fractures were classified into lateral compression (LC), antero-posterior compression (APC), vertical shear (VS), and combined (CM) type according to the Young-Burgess classification. The Survivor group included 11 patients (61.1%), and the non-survivor group included 7 patients (38.9%). The mean ages for the survivor and the non-survivor groups were 40.0 and 45.6 years (p=0.517). The types of pelvic bone fractures were LC 11 (61.1%), APC 6 (33.3%), and VS 1 (5.6%): LC 7 (63.6%), and APC 4 (36.4%) in the survivor group and LC 4 (57.1%), APC 2 (28.6%), and VS 1 (14.3%) in the non-survivor group. The internal iliac artery was the predominant injured vessel among both the survivors (n = 5, 45.5%) and the non-survivors (n = 4, 57.1%). No differences in initial blood pressures, ISS, and RTS existed between the two groups, but the arterial pH was lower in the non-survivor group (pH 7.09 (${\pm}0.20$) vs 7.30 (${\pm}0.08$), p=0.018). The number of transfused 24-hour units of packed RBC was greater in the non-survivor group ($24.1{\pm}12.5$ vs $14.4{\pm}6.8$, p=0.046). Conclusion: No differences in initial blood pressure and trauma scores existed between survivors and non-survivors with pelvic bone fractures, who had been treated with arterial embolization, but arterial pH was lower the in non-survivors.
