The result are summerized as follows ; 1. The incidence of peripheral arterial disease were as follows that : Arterial injury was in 21 cases(38.2%), arteriosclerosis oblitrans 18cases(32.7%), thromboembolism 9cases(16.4%), Buerger's disease was in 7cases(12.7%). 2. Overall male to female ratio was 6.8 : 1, the prevalent age was 3rd and 4th decade in arterial injury, 7th and 8th decade in atherosclerosis and thromboembolism and 5th and 6th decade in Buerger's disease. 3. The farmer was the first ranked occupation of these patients with chronic occlusive arterial disease, which was composed of 17 cases (68%). 4. 23 cases of patients with chronic occlusive disease has been smoking and most of them have been smoking over 10 years. 5. The clinical symptoms in acute and chronic arterial obstruction were pain, claudication, gangrene and coldness in order. 6. The duration of symptom of chronic arterial occlusive disease was less 1 years in 15 cases(60%). 7. The lower extremity were more affected than upper extremity in peripheral arterial disease. 8. The cause of arterial injury was traffic accident 9 cases(42.9%) stab wound 8 cases (38.1%), postangiography 2 cases(9.5%) and belt injury 1 case. 9. The etiologic factors of acute arterial occlusion was arterial fibrillation myocardial ischemia and postangiography in order. 10. Lumber sympathectomy in Buerger's disease, artificial bypass graft in atherosclerosis and thromboembolctomy in thromboembolism, end to end with vein graft in arterial injury were performed frequently. 11. Conclusively overall result was satis factory but 3 cases was below knee amputated after operation of chronic arterial occlusive disease.

Ischemic monomelic neuropathy and myopathy are rare complications of peripheral arterial occlusive disease. We report a case of ischemic monomelic neuropathy of the right sural, common peroneal and posterior tibial nerves and ischemic myopathy of the right tibialis anterior resulting from the occlusion of the right common femoral arteries despite successful revascularization. Ischemic monomelic neuropathy and myopathy can occur as a result of occlusion of the specific peripheral artery.

Prostaglandin E1(PGE1) is a potent vasodilator and is a useful drug for the treatment of occlusive peripheral vascular disease. It has been used systemically via intravenous route or regionally via intraarterial route. We tried intravenous regional administration of PGE1 for the treatment of a patient with occlusive arterial disease involving left fingers. During the 13th injection, the patient complained of severe pain at the injection site during the drug administration. Thereafter, the patient developed painful and severe swelling with blebs on his left hand. Systemic antibiotics were given together with stellate ganglion block of the affected left side. PGE1 was substituted to reserpine, which is subcutaneously injectable, for the second term treatment.

말초동맥질환은 하지혈관을 흔히 침범하는 폐쇄성 질환이다. 대동맥-장골동맥 부위에서 이를 치료하기 위한 재개통술은 전통적으로 수술적인 접근을 통한 우회술을 근간으로 하였으며, 최근에는 국소적이고 단순한 병변들을 위주로 혈관 내 접근법을 통한 치료법이 우선 권고되고 있다. 혈관 내 접근법은 그 최소침습적인 특성으로 인하여 수술의 위험성이 높은 환자에 대해서 활용하는 것이 일반적이었으나, 근래의 다양한 기법 및 기구의 발전으로 보다 다양한 질병 상태를 가진 환자에서 활용되어 수술적인 치료에 근접하는 결과가 보고되고 있다. 이 종설에서는 말초동맥 질환에 대한 진단 및 대동맥-장골동맥 부위의 혈관 내 재개통술에 활용되는 기법 및 기구들에 대해 살펴보고 그 역할에 대해 살펴보고자 한다.

From 1968 through September 1986, the authors have experienced 34 cases of peripheral arterial surgery using various vascular grafts. Almost all patients [32] were men, and age distribution was variable according to the disease entities. There were twenty eight cases of chronic occlusive peripheral vascular disease including ASO [21], Buerger`s disease [6], Aortoenteric fistula complicating infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm [1], four cases of vascular trauma, one case of acute arterial embolism [1] and one case of unknown etiology. The indications of operations for chronic vascular disease was intermittent claudication in 48%, rest pain in 45%, ischemic pregangrene or gangrene in 28%, and sensory change in 10% of patients. Types of operation used were arterial bypass in 28 cases [Aortobifemoral in 5, Aortoiliac in 3, Aortofemoral in 4, Aortoiliac with Aortofemoral in 1, Femorofemoral in 1, Femoropopliteal in 8, Femoroperoneal in 2, Axillofemoral in 3 cases of patients], graft interposition in four and patch angioplasty in three cases. Thirty four prosthetic vascular grafts including Dacron, Gore-Tex, Nylon and two autogenous saphenous vein graft and patch were used for vascular reconstruction in thirty four patients. Unfortunately recently performed one vein bypass was failed immediate postoperatively due to severity of disease and poor case selection. The authors experienced five post operative complications: wound infection [1], graft infection [1], bleeding [1], great saphenous neuralgia [1], pseudoaneurysm [1]. Twenty two of thirty four patients were followed up for more than one month and their cumulative patency rate was 81% [17/22] at 1 month and, 31% [7/22] at 5 month.

Purpose: Diabetic foot wound (DFW) is known as a major contributor of nontraumatic lower extremity amputation. We aimed to evaluate overall amputation rates and risk factors for amputation in patients with DFW. Materials and Methods: From January 2014 to December 2017, 141 patients with DFW were enrolled. We determined rates and risk factors of major amputation in DFW and in DFW with peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD). In addition, we investigated rates and predictors for amputation in diabetic foot ulcer (DFU). Results: The overall rate of major amputation was 26.2% in patients with DFW. Among 141 DFWs, 76 patients (53.9%) had PAOD and 29 patients (38.2%) of 76 DFWs with PAOD underwent major amputation. Wound state according to Wagner classification, congestive heart failure, leukocytosis, dementia, and PAOD were the significant risk factors for major amputation. In DFW with PAOD, Wagner classification grades and leukocytosis were the predictors for major amputation. In addition, amputation was performed for 28 patients (38.4%) while major amputation was performed for 5 patients (6.8%) of 73 DFUs. Only the presence of osteomyelitis (OM) showed significant difference for amputation in DFU. Conclusion: This study represented that approximately a quarter of DFWs underwent major amputation. Moreover, over half of DFW patients had PAOD and about 38.2% of them underwent major amputation. Wound state and PAOD was major predictors for major amputation in DFW. Systemic factors, such as CHF, leukocytosis, and dementia were identified as risk factors for major amputation. In terms of DFU, 38.4% underwent amputation and the presence of OM was a determinant for amputation.

Purpose: This study compared and analyzed the risk factors that affect a wound healing group and healing failure group. Materials and Methods: From 2010 to 2018, 39 patients who had suffered a single toe amputation were evaluated retrospectively. The patients were divided into two groups (wound healing group and healing failure group - within at least 3 months following the amputation). Regarding the possible risk factors, age, gender, Wagner and Brodsky classifications, duration of diabetes mellitus, whether the patient had peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) or cardiovascular disease, body mass index, HbA1c, total cholesterol, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), smoking, and alcohol were investigated. Results: The mean duration of diabetes mellitus was 140 months in the healing group and 227 months in the healing failure group, and the duration of diabetes was significantly longer in the failure group (p=0.009). A significant difference in eGFR was observed between the two groups ($59.17mL/min/1.73m^2$ in the healing group and $31.1mL/min/1.73m^2$ in the failure group) (p=0.022). Sixteen patients with PAOD were found, all 10 patients in the healing failure group were PAOD patients. Conclusion: To reduce the additional complications in single toe amputation patients, the underlying disease and appropriate treatment are the most important factors. In addition, a more proximal level of amputation also should be considered in cases of patients with PAOD, high BUN and low eGFR, and patients with long-term diabetes.

발을 향해 가는 혈류의 중요한 길목인 무릎 밑 동맥은 다리 혈관 중 가장 가늘며, 협착 등의 병변이 발생하거나 폐쇄가 발생하게 되면 중증하지허혈을 유발할 수 있다. 중증하지허혈이란 말초동맥 질환의 가장 심한 임상 양상 중 하나로서 휴지기 동통, 족부궤양 또는 괴저의 형태로 나타난다. 일반적으로 동맥경화 질환의 진행은 미만성으로 나타나며 대다수의 환자에서 무릎 밑 동맥을 침범한다. 치료의 목표는 동맥혈류 재개통과 사지구제이다. 기술적으로 가능한 경우, 그리고 환자가 걷지 못하는 상태가 아니라면 중증하지허혈이 있는 환자는 혈관의 재개통이 즉시 이루어져야 한다. 따라서 혈관 내 치료는 무릎 밑 동맥을 포함한 모든 환자의 표준 치료가 될 것이며, 혈관재건술을 시행하는 외과의의 임상적 역할은 줄어들 것이다.

말정혈관확장제(末精血管擴張劑)인 Ethaverine의 임상효과(임상(臨床效果)는 말초동맥질환(末梢動脈疾患)을 갖인 29명(名)의 당뇨질환자(糖尿疾患者)를 대상으로 이중맹검(二重盲檢) 비교차(非交叉) 방법(方法)에 의(依)하여 연구검토(硏究檢討)하였다. 임상적(臨床的)인 개선(改善)은 간헐성파행증(間歇性跛行症)의 발생빈도(發生頻度)를 포함하는 환노(患老)들의 병역(病歷)으로부터 평가(評價)하였다. Ethaverine을 사주(四週) 치료후(治療後)는 임상증상(臨床症狀)을 개선(改善)하는데 있어 위약(僞藥)에 비(比)하여 효과가 없었다. 어째든 간에 Ethaverine은 위약(僞藥)보다는 혈관확장제(血管擴張劑)로서 효력이 있었다. Ethaverine에 의(依)하여 유발(誘發)되는 혈관확장제(血管擴張劑)의 성질(性質)은 alcohol의 그것과 유사하였다. 말초혈관확장제(末梢血管擴張劑)를 연구(硏究)하는 새로운 임상적(臨床的) 방법(方法)을 제시(提示)하였다. 하지(下肢)의 말초혈관(末梢血管) 동맥질환(動脈疾患)의 임상증상(臨床症狀)은 촉맥강도(觸脈强度)의 감소냉감(減少冷感) 및 피부(皮膚)의 변색(變色)등을 들 수 있다. 간헐성파행증(間歇性跛行症)도 수반하는 수가 있다. 혈관조직(血管組織)에 있어서의 병변(病變)이 이같은 증상(症狀)에 선행(先行)하여 일어나며 위중(危重)한 혈관부전(血管不全)의 입증(立證)은 혈관확장제료법(血管擴張劑療法) 또는 외과적(外科的) 처치(處置)를 택하는데 있어서의 결정적(決定的)인 요인(要因)이 된다. 만성 말초동맥질환(末梢動脈疾患)이 있는 술후환자(術後患者)들도 차후혈관확장제(次後血管擴張劑)의 치료(治療)를 받아야한다. 임상보고((臨床報告)에 의(依)하면 말초혈관확장제(末梢血管擴張劑)는 폐새성(閉塞性) 혈관질환(血管疾患)에 대(對)해서 보다는 혈관경련성(血管痙攣性) 말초혈관장해(末梢血管障害)에 대해서 보다 유효하며 비교적 큰 혈관상(血管床)보다는 작은 모세혈관상(毛細血管床) 일때의 혈관(血管)이 가장 잘 감응(感應)한다고 한다. 최근(最近)에 이르러 말초혈관확장제(末梢血管擴張劑)의 임상(臨床)효과는 수많은 임상연구가(臨床硏究家)들 및 임상의(臨床醫)들의 연구대상(硏究對象)이 되고있다. 본연구(本硏究)에서 연구자(硏究者)들은 혈관경련성말초동맥질환(血管痙攣性末梢動脈疾患)을 갖인 환자(患者)들에 대(對)한 말초혈관확장제(末梢血管擴張劑)로써의 Ethaverine HCl의 임상(臨床)효과를 재평가(再評價)하였다. Ethaverine은 각종임상시험결과(各種臨床試驗結果)에 의(依)하면 항경련제(抗痙攣劑)로서는 papaverine 보다도 2배(倍) 내지 4배(倍)정도 그 약효가 강력(强力)하다고 한다.
