Moyamoya disease (MMD) is characterized by progressive steno-occlusive lesions of the distal or proximal branch of the internal carotid arteries, and cerebrovascular symptoms are its major complications. Extracranial vascular involvement including the coronary artery has been reported, and some case reports have described variant angina or myocardial infarction. However, no report has yet described a case of myocardial infarction after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Here, we present a patient with MMD who suffered cardiac arrest caused by myocardial infarction due to a coronary spasm after offpump CABG and who was discharged successfully after treatment with a veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenator and percutaneous coronary intervention.

The authors have performed operations on vascular system of 108 cases from 1972 through 1979, and analyzed the diseases, surgical procedures and results. They were 1. Arterial system; 45 cases P.D.A. : 20 Occlusive diseases : 13 Coarctation of aorta : 4 Aneurysm : 4 A-V fistula : 2 Trauma : 2 2. Venous system; 6 cases Esophageal varix : 4 S.V.C. syndrome : 1 Varicose vein : 1 3. Arteriovenous shunt for hemodialysis; 57 cases Of the arterial diseases, the worst results came from Burger`s disease. For the bleeding esophageal varices, we have performed ligations of varices or collateral circulations rather than emergency splenorenal shunt with good results. External A-V shunt for hemodialysis had much more complications than the A-V fistula.

Extra-anatomic bypass is indicated for the limb salvage of patients with threatened limb loss especially those who have high risk of infection and death after general anesthesia. We did extra-anatomic bypass procedure nineteen times over a seven year, two month period on sixteen patients. Their mean follow up period was 41.3 months. Male to female ratio was 7:1. Major complaints were resting pain[36.8%], claudication[31.6%], cyanosis[15.8%] and ulcerative change[15.8%]. Associated diseases were hypertension, tuberculosis, chronic renal failure, atrial fibrillation, complete heart block and laryngeal cancer. Postoperative patency rates were 76.9% at 1 year, 72.7% at 2 years and 70% at 3 years. Limb salvage rate was 78.9%. Postoperative mortality rate was 10.5%.

배경: 폐쇄성 혈관 질환을 가진 환자에서 폐쇄된 혈관 자체의 문제를 해부학적으로 해결하기에는 환자의 상태나 병변의 종류, 수술 위험도 등이 문제가 된다. 이때 환자의 연령이나 상태에 따라 선택할 수 있는 고식적인 치료 방법으로 extra-anatomic bypass나 교감신경 절제술 등이 있다. 우리는 이러한 고식적 치료의 장기 성적과 적응증에 관하여 관찰하고자 하였다. 방법: 1996년부터 2000년까지 고식적 치료가 필요했던 폐쇄성 혈관 질환을 가진 38명의 환자를 대상으로 수술의 결과를 후향적으로 고찰하였다. 남자가 32명, 여자가 6명 이었으며 평균 연령은 60.37$\pm$17.65세이다. 이 중 원인 질환으로는 동맥경화증이 32명으로 가장 많았으며, Buerger씨 병이 4명, Raynaud씨 증후군과 상대정맥 증후군이 각각 1명씩이었다. 결과: 수술은 extra-anatomic bypass가 40회, 요추 교감신경 절제술이 17회, 혈전제거술이 7회, 대퇴동맥 혈관 간치술이 1회 등이었고, 혈관 우회술 없이 요추 교감신경 절제술 혹은 혈전 제거술만을 시행한 환자는 7명이었다. 수술 후 6명에서 재수술이 필요하였는데, 이 중 5명은 원위부 혈류 폐쇄 혹은 약화로 발목 관절이나 족지 절단 혹은 요추 교감신경 절제술을 시행한 경우이었고, 1명은 혈관 우회술 1달 후에 인조혈관 원위부의 동맥류가 발생하여 다시 우회술이 필요한 경우였다. 폐쇄성 혈관 질환에 대한 고식적 치료 3년 후의 1차 혈관 개통률은 78.29 $\pm$ 3.81%이었으며, 수술 방법과 혈관 개통률 사이의 통계적 유의성은 없었다. 결론: 여러 논란에도 불구하고 폐쇄성 혈관 질환 환자의 일부에서는 여러 고식적 수술이 이루어지는데, 적절한 환자의 선택과 수술 전후의 적절한 환자 교육, 추적 관찰이 이루어진다면 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Contrast-enhanced MR angiography (CE-MRA) gradually occupies its position as a primary evaluation tool forsteno-occlusive disease of supra-aortic cervical arteries. It has several advantages over time-of-flight (TOF) technique such as shorter imaging time, less saturation effect, and less flow- and motion-related artifacts. Diverse methods of k-space sampling, imaging sequences, and strategies for image acquisitiontiming have been introduced since its early clinical application. Especially, methods of k-space sampling and image acquisition timing are very important to achieve maximal arterial enhancement and suppress venous signal while maintaining large scan coverage and high spatial resolution. In addition, regardless of several advantages over TOF technique, it still has a tendency to overestimate the degree of stenosis in patients with carotid or vertebralartery disease. In this exhibit, we will overview the current techniques of CE-MRA with special attention to methods of k-space sampling and image acquisition timing. We will also discuss diagnostic accuracy of CE-MRA in patients with supra-aortic cervical artery stenosis and artifacts frequently misinterpreted as steno-occlusive lesion on CE-MRA.

Single photon emission computed tomography(SPECT) and positron emission tomography(PET) are modern imaging techniques that allow for both qualitative and quantitative assessment of hemodynamic changes in cerebrovascular diseases. SPECT has been becoming an indispensable method to investigate regional cerebral blood flow because equipment and isotope are easily available in most general hospitals. Acetazolamide stress SPECT has also been proved to be useful to evaluate the cerebrovascular reserve of occlusive cerebrovascular diseases and to select surgical candidate. PET has gained wide spread clinical use in the evaluation of the hemodynamic and metabolic consequences of extracranial or intracranial arterial obstructive disease despite its complexity and limited availability. PET has been established as an invaluable tool in the pathophysilogy investigation of acute ischemic stroke. The potentials, limitations, and clinical applications of SPECT and PET in various cerebrovascular diseases will be discussed in this article with reviews of literatures.

Occlusive coronary artery disease presents a potential threat to a significant population in the United States. According to many case reports, the increasing incidence of coronary artery disease due to atherosclerosis is noted in Korean, recently. Operative vascular procedures have increased steadily in number over the past 20 years in the United States. There have been many isolated case reports about coronary artery surgery, but these had little clinical impact. Nowadays, major three coronary bypass surgery has developed principally at three cardiac centers in the United States since 1967. Among three coronary bypass operation, the aorta-coronary artery saphenous vein bypass graft was first demonstrated by Favolaro and Effler at the Cleveland Clinic in 1967. We experienced one case of coronary artery disease, which was treated successfully by aorta-coronary saphenous vein graft with mild hypothermia under extracorporeal circulation in May, 1977. Saphenous vein was removed from above the knee and was 2.5 mm in diameter. The left ventricle was not vented for the left ventricle was not overdistended. Temporary artificial pace-maker-Medtronic-was implanted for the prevention and treatment of post-operative arrhythmia and heart block in post-operative first day. He is a 57 year old male businessman who had been suffered from hypertension [200 mmHg in systolic pressure] since 4 years ago, who had intermittent conservative treatment at local clinic. He had been afflicted with severe chest pain with choking sensation for 50 days. This symptom was aggravated exposing cold weather, or cold water, but was respond to rest. Pre-operative ECG revealed no any other ischemic sign except sinus bradycardia. Significant S-T segment depression was noted at lead II, AVF after double 5 minutes exercise, indicating positive Master`s test. Serum cholesterol was slight elevated to 253 mg/dl. Final pre-operative diagnosis was made by coronary arteriogram, which showed about 1.0-cm segmental 90 % occlusive atherosclerotic lesion in the proximal part of right coronary artery above the origin of acute marginal artery. Left coronary artery revealed good patency and there was no collateral circulation between right and left coronary artery .Hospital course was not eventful. He was discharged with good result on the post-operative day. He has been free from chest pain for longer than 2 years. And also the arterial flow in the coronary bypass graft is auscultated with the pocket-sized ultrasonic velocity detector, which shows the patency of the coronary bypass graft good.

배경: 동맥 재건술 후에 발생하는 폐쇄성 합병증은 치료가 어렵고 재발 가능성이 높은 것으로 알려져 있다. 저자들은 동맥 재수술에 관하여 임상양상 및 수술방법, 사용된 이식편, 술 후 결과들을 분석하여 이식편 폐쇄에 영향을 미치는 인자를 알아보고 효율적인 치료 방침을 세우는 데 도움을 얻고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1998년 1월부터 2002년 12월까지 부산대학교병원 흉부외과에서 시행된 173명의 동맥재건술 후 재수술을 받은 33명(55예)을 대상으로 조사하여 임상적 특성과 치초 수술의 유형, 재수술시까지의 경과한 시간, 사용한 이식편, 치료의 결과 등을 후향적으로 분석하였다. 결과: 33명 중 32명이 남자였고 재수술 당시의 평균연령은 63.5세였다. 첫 수술에서 재수술까지의 기간은 11.9개월이었고 원인질환은 동맥경화증이 28예, 버거씨병 5예였다. 동반된 질환은 고혈압 19예, 당뇨병 11예, 심부전 6예 등의 순이었다. 한 환자당 평균 1.67회의 재수술이 시행되었고 치초의 수술유형은 대퇴동맥-슬와동맥 우회술이 19예로 가장 많았다. 수술에 사용되었던 이식편은 PTFE가 25예, Dacron이 6예였고 이식편에 따른 재수술률은 차이가 없었다. 재수술은 혈전제거술이 20예, 혈관 성형술 18예, 우회로 재조성술이 13예, 요부 교감신경절제술이 4예에서 시행되었다. 재수술의 결과는 하지의 기능회복이 15명, 하지보존 7명, 슬상부절단 5명, 슬하부 절단 3명, 사망 3명이었다. 걸론· 하지 동맥 재건술 후 발생하는 폐쇄성 합병증은 유입 동맥이나 유출동맥의 폐쇄가 발생하며 생기는 경우가 많았다 치료의 방침은 최초의 수술방법과 사용된 이식편에 따라 다를 수 있고 무엇보다도 이식편의 감시가 중요한데 이차 수술의 시행빈도가 가장 높은 시기인 술 후 1년 이내의 이식편 감시가 중요하다고 생각한다. 또한 재우회로술 뿐만 아니라 방사선학적 중재술 및 교감신경 절제술과 같은 부가적인 치료도 적극적으로 시행하여야 하지 보존율의 향상을 기대할 수 있을 것이다.

Arterial bypass for the chronic ischemia of the lower extremities underlying atherosclerotic obliterans has been performed with a number of alternative conduits from 1941 by Kunlin. It is indicated for the limb salvage of patients with threatened limb loss despite of several controversies in surgical treatment of atherosclerotic obliterans. From March 1991 to January 1995, 26 arterial bypasses were performed in 23 patients with the chronic ischemia of the lower extremities in our hospital. Their mean follow up period is 18.9 months ranging from 4 months to 44 months. Mean age is 60.9 years ranging 47 years to 76 years and the most prevalent incidence is the 6th decade. 21 patients are male and 2 patients are female. 19 of 23 patients are smokers. Clinical classifications by Fontaine are class II[21.7% , class III[34.8% and class IV[43.5% .Diabetes mellitus[47.8% , hypertension[43.5% , hyperlipid-emia[26% , tuberculosis[21.7% , cerebrovascular accident[13.0% and cardiac diseases[8.7% are associated. Aorto-single femoral bypass in 4 cases, aorto-bifemoral bypass in 5 cases, aortofemoral & femoropopliteal bypass in 2 cases, femoropopliteal bypass in 10 cases, popliteotibial bypass in 3 cases, femoropedal bypass[composite graft bypass in 2 cases were surgically approached. There are complicated early thrombosis in 4 cases those are required immediately reoperation, wound infection in 3 cases, hematoma in 3 cases, and so on. Postoperative complication rate is 53.8%.Postoperative patency rates are 84.6% at 6 months, 75.0% at 1 year, 70.0% at 2 years and 66.7% at 3 years. We usually used 6 mm & 8 mm graft for bypass, and the rate of thrombosis formation is 28.6%[2/7 in 6 mm graft and 12.5%[2/16 in 8 mm separately. In according to the graft materials, the rate of thrombosis formation is higher in the group using artificial graft than in that using autologous saphenous vein[16.6% vs 12.5% . Limb salvage rate is 76.9%. Postoperative mortality rate is zero %.
