배경: 경피적 관상동맥 성형술(angioplasty, translumial, percutaneous coronary, PTCA)은 현재 거의 모든 관상동맥 협착증 환자에서 시도되고 있다. 따라서 PTCA 실패로 인한 치명적인 응급 상황도 나타나고 있다. 이 연구에서는 PTCA의 실패로 응급 관상동맥 우회술이 필요했던 환자의 임상결과를 분석하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 1988년 5월부터 2005년 5월까지 총 5,712예의 PTCA를 시행했고 그 중 실패 후 발생한 응급 환자는 84명(1.4%)이었고 이 중 응급 수술이 가능했던 27명(32.1%)을 대상으로 하였다. 환자들의 평균 연령은 $63.7{\pm}8.9\;(46{\sim}80)$세이었고, 그 중 남자가 14명(51.9%)이었다. PTCA 전 진단은 급성 심근경색(12명), 불안정형 협심증(13명), 안정형 협심증(2명)이었다. 결과: PTCA 실패의 원인으로는 새로운 색전에 의한 관상동맥 폐쇄가 4명, 시술 도중 관상동맥 박리가 17명, 관상동맥 파열이 3명, 기타가 3명이었다. 수술이 가능했던 환자들은 6시간 내로 응급수술을 시행했고 그 중 22명은 고식적 관상동맥 우회술(coronary artery bypass grafting, CABG)을 받았고 5명은 off-pump CABG (OPCAB)을 받았다. 평균 사용된 이식편의 수는 $2.58{\pm}0.95$개였다. 수술 환자 중에서는 18.5%의 사망률을 보였다(5/27). 단변량 분석에서는 수술 환자들의 사망률은 좌전하행지 침범유무, 수술 전 쇼크상태, 수술 후 2가지 이상의 수축 촉진제의 사용, 수술 후에도 대동맥 풍선 펌프를 사용한 경우가 통계적으로 유의하게 나타났다. 결론: PTCA는 환자들이 수술에 비해 상대적으로 안전하다고 생각하지만 PTCA 실패로 인한 응급상황이 발생 시에는 매우 높은 사망률을 보이며 관상동맥 우회술을 시행하더라도 수술 사망률 및 수술 부작용이 상대적으로 높다. 따라서, 치명적인 합병증이 생길 수 있으므로 신중한 환자의 선택이 요구되며 합병증의 발생 시 적극적인 수술 치료를 준비해야 한다.

Since the introduction of percutaneous; transluminal coronary angioplasty[PTCA] by Grunt-zig in 1977, this is widely used in some patients with coronary artery disease and is an effective alternative to surgery for many patients. Indications for emergency coronary artery bypass graft[CABG] after PTCA are prolonged chest pain, worsening of coronary artery obstruction, "current of injury" by electrocardiogram, cardiogenic shock, and in a lesser incidence, ventricular fibrillation, coronary artery dissection[without obstruction], heart block, and intractable cardiac arrest. Recently, we have experienced one case of emergency CABG following unsuccessful PTCA. The patient was 54 year-old male and admitted with complaint of angina pectoris. The routine electrocardiogram revealed within normal limit. The treadmill test revealed severe chest pain after 2 min. exercise. Coronary cineangiogram revealed 95% segmental stenosis of the proximal right coronary artery. Our cardiologist was planned PTCA. During PTCA, severe chest pain and ischemic pattern on electrocardiogram were developed. But they were not relieved even by morphine and nitroglycerin till 90 min. So we performed emergency single coronary artery bypass graft from aorta to proximal right coronary artery with great saphenous vein. The patient had an excellent postoperative recovery and was free from anginal attack. He has shown striking improvement in general status[NYHA functional class 1] during 6 months after operation.operation.

PTCA(1,2,3-propanetricarboxylic acid) and BTCA(1,2,3-butanetetracarboxylic acid) are selected as new nonformaldehyde agents for ester crosslinking of cotton cellulose to replace the traditional DMDHEU reagent. A goal of this research is to propose unknown ester mechanism of cotton cellulose by PTCA or BTCA using crystal structure model suggested by Meyer and Takahashi. In pursuit of these goals, we have treated 100% cotton broad cloth with PTCA or BTCA and different catalysts. They were used with $NaH_2PO_2,\;NaH_2PO_4,\;Na_2HPO_4,\;NaH_2PO_2,\;Na_3PO_4,$ catalysts to produce nonformaldehyde fabric finishes. Treatments were applied to all cotton fabrics using a pad-dry -cure process. The esterfication of cotton treated with BTCA or PTCA was investigated using Fourier transform infrared(FT-IR) spectra and the breaking strength, abrasion retention and discoloration properties were determined to prove the durable finished fabrics. Patterns with respect to abrasion resistance were more complex. Because PTCA and BTCA add-ons were comparable, the data suggest that the more effective catalysts, $NaH_2PO_2$ and mixed phosphate $NaH_2PO_2/NaH_2PO_4$) are effecting either a great number of crosslinks in the cotton or producing crosslinks that differ in actual structure.

Objectives : To explore the relationship between Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty(PTCA) volume and the associated immediate outcome. Methods : A total of 1,379 PTCAs were peformed in 25 hospitals in Korea between October 8 and December 31 in 1997. Data from 1,317 PTCAs (95.5%) were collected through medical record abstraction. Inter-observer reliability of the data was examined using the Kappa statistic on a subsample of 110 PTCA procedures from five hospitals. Intra-observer reliability of the data was also examined. PTCA success and immediate adverse outcomes were selected as the outcome variables. A successful PTCA was defined as a case that shows less than 50% diameter stenosis and more than 20% reduction of diameter stenosis. Immediate adverse outcomes included deaths during the same hospitalization, emergency coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) within 24 hours after PTCA, and acute myocardial infarction within 24 hours after PTCA. The numbers of PTCAs performed in 1997 per hospital were used as the volume variables. Results : Without adjusting for patient risk factors that may affect outcomes, procedures at high volume hospitals ($\geq200$ cases per year) had a greater success rate (P=0.001) than low volume hospitals. There was a marginally significant difference (P=0.070) in major adverse outcome rates between high and low volume hospitals. After adjusting for risk factors, there were significant differences in procedural failure and major adverse outcome rates between high and low volume hospitals. Conclusions : After adjusting for patient clinical risk factors, the hospital volume of PTCA was associated with immediate outcomes. It is recommended that a PTCA volume per year be established in order to improve the immediate outcome of this procedure in Korea.

Purpose: According to Lazarus & Folkman (1984), appraising a stressor as a threat is associated with negative psychological and physical adjustment, whereas appraising a stressor as a challenge is positive psychological and physical adjustment. This study examined how cognitive appraisal of PTCA(heart disease threat and treatment appraisal) related to the cardiac risk reduction behaviors(smoking cessation, low salt and low cholesterol diet, regular exercise and stress management) 6 weeks following discharge. Method: Data were collected from 50 subjects with successful primary PTCA. Result: Heart disease threat was negative related to treatment appraisal (r=-0.240, p=0.046). Psychological well-being was negative related to heart disease threat (r=-0.317, p=0.012) and positive related to treatment appraisal(r=0.402, p=0.002). The cardiac risk reduction behaviors score was negative related to heart disease threat(r= -0.296, p=0.018) and positive related to treatment appraisal(r=-0.291, p=0.020). Conclusion: More negative appraisal was related to lower the cardiac risk reduction behaviors score. But more positive appraisal was related to higher the cardiac risk reduction behaviors score. So, there is a need to develop the cognitive-behavioral intevention that increase the coping strategy to replace with positive appraisal.

This study was designed to determine the outcomes of the team-based cardiac rehabilitation programs for patients with Ischemic Heart Disease(IHD) on their level of health behavior performance, anxiety, and quality of life. A total of 19 in-patients with IHD who have had PTCA treatment at G.Hospital in Inchon were selected as subject to data collection from 1 May 1998 to 30 Oct. 1998. The experimental group, consisting of 11 patients participated in the Hospital's cardiac rehabilitation program was compared with the non-rehabilitation control group of 8 patients. The experimental group has been trained on the cardiac rehabliltation programfor 120-150minute during hospitalization by a team consisted of four specialists, those are cardiologist, head nurse, dietian, and the author. Also individual follow-up training and interview were performed for the members of experimental group at their every visit to the Hospital after discharge. For all subjects, scores on health behavior performance, anxiety, and quality of life were collected two days and 12 weeks after PTCA treatment by questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed with the SPSS. The results of this study were summarized as follows : 1) The experimental group shows significant increase in health behavior performance score compared to the control group(-2.27, p=.022). 2) There was no significant difference between two group's anxiety scores (-.24, p= .803) and quality of life scores(-1.86, p= .061). 3) The correlation between health behavior performance and anxiety ( .07, p= .771), and that between health behavior performance and quality of life( .12, p= .621) respectively were not significant statistically. But the correlation between anxiety and quality of life were significant reversely ( .49, p= .032).

During the period from September 1989 through December 1992, 118 cases of coronary arterial bypass graft were performed at Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Asan Medical Center. Twenty-one of these had history of recent or remote percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. They consisted of 13 males[age,58.7 + 5.4 years] and 8 females[age, 63.6 + 2.8years] with the mean age of 60.6. History of old myocardial infarction was noted in 24%[5/21] of the patients and congestive heart failure in 2 cases. The angina by type of presentation is unstable in all of the patients. The patterns of involvement of coronary arterial disease were left main disease[1], single vessel disease[5], double vessel involvement[10], and triple vessel involvement[5]. We performed 4 cases of single bypasses, 7 cases of double, 8 cases of triple, and 2 cases of quadruple bypasses. Total of 51 grafts[LIMA:12, RSVG:39] were inserted in 21 cases with average of 2.4 grafts per patient. The methods of myocardial protection were cold blood cardioplegia[8 cases], intermittent aortic occlusion[11], and continuous coronary perfusion with local coronary sharing[2]. There were no operative or late death. The only cardiac complication was 1 case of low cardiac output required IABP. The other complications were 1 case of sternal wound infection and 1 case of postoperative bleeding required reoperation. And there was no case of perioperative myocardial infarction. Postoperatively, 3 cases of recurrent angina were detected at 5, 7, and 18months after surgery. One of them was managed successfully with repeat PTCA[who was recurred 18 months postoperatively], and the other two with medication. I conclude that we can approach the patients more aggressively with PTCA, because of our acceptable operative risks.

Purpose. 1) To identify the time taken from symptom onset to the arrival at the hospital (pre-hospital delay time) and time taken from the arrival at the hospital to the initiation of the major treatment (in-hospital delay time) 2) to examine whether rapid treatment results in lower mortality. 3) to examine whether the pre- and in-hospital delay time can independently predict in-hospital mortality. Methods. A retrospective study with 586 consecutive AMI patients was conducted. Results. Pre-hospital delay time was 5.25 (SD=10.36), and in-hospital delay time was 1.10 (SD=1.00) hours for the thrombolytic therapy and 50.24 (SD=121.18) hours for the percutaneous transluminal coronary angio-plasty (PTCA). In-hospital mortality was the highest when the patients were treated between 4 to 48 hours after symptom onset using PTCA (p=.02), and when treated between 30 minutes and one hour after hospital arrival using thrombolytics (p=.01). Using a hierarchical logistic regression model, the pre- and in-hospital delay times did not predict the in-hospital mortality. Conclusion. Pre- and in-hospital delay times need to be decreased to meet the desirable therapeutic time window. Thrombolytics should be given within 30 minutes after arrival at the hospital, and PTCA should be initiated within 4 hours after symptom onset to minimize in-hospital mortality of AMI patients.

A purpose of this research is to prove unknown relation -ship between finish bath pH and crosslinking. In pursuit of these goals, we have treated 100% cotton broad cloth with PTCA and BTCA at different pH values. They were used with H$_{3}$PO$_{4}$, NaH$_{2}$PO$_{2}$, NaH$_{2}$PO$_{4}$, Na$_{2}$HPO$_{4}$, Na$_{3}$PO$_{4}$, catalysts to produce nonformaldehyde fabrics finishes. Treatments were applied to all cotton fabrics using a parletry-cure process. For the fully understood on the relationship of finish bath pH effect and cotton cellulose esterification, the relative concentrations of chemical species were calculated from ionization constants. The effect of pH on the cotton cellulose ester was investigated using Fourier transform infrared spectra, the surface area measurement by BET method and wrinkle recovery analysis. Results of differential FT-IR spectra and their relative concentration analysis were compared with those of catalyst treated controls. FT-IR and wrinkle recovery data indicated that the esterfication by polycarboxylic acids is pridependent. A similar phenomenon also occurred when a phosphate or hypophosphite was used. Therefore, it is necessary to choose the optimum pH range of a finishing bath in order to achieve the most effective esterification.
