The treatment of chronic digital pain and cold intolerance due to Raynaud's phenomenon is quite difficult especially it is combined with scleroderma. Several surgical trial such as cervicothoracic sympathectomy have been attempted for the medically unresponsible Raynaud's phenomenon, but their results were unsatisfactory. We have tried peripheral periarterial sympathectomy for the 44 years old female patient who had medically unresponsible severe Raynaud's phenomenon with scleroderma. Periarterial adventitial stripping was performed at the level of wrist, superficial palmar arch, common digital artery and proper digital artery about 1.5-2 cm in length. Preoperative angiography and radioactive angiography were done and preoperatively and postoperatively the blood flow was measured by the desk top computer-aided histogram. Both hands digital pain were markedly reduced after operation and blood flow increased as compaired with the preoperative measure.

From 1976 through 1986, authors have experienced 127 cases of peripheral vascular surgery which had been done in this department. There were 29 cases of atherosclerosis obliterances including 7 Leriche syndrome, 32 Buerger`s diseases, 25 arterial thromboembolisms, 21 vascular injuries, 2 peripheral arterial aneurysms, 2 renovascular hypertensions, 1 congenital A-V malformation, 13 varicose vein of lower extremities, and 2 Jugular venous ectasia. Cases with vena caval disease and aortic disease were excluded. The mean age of ASO and Buerger`s disease was 56.1 yrs, 33.8 yrs respectively. The male to female ratio showed marked male preponderance [27:2, and 30:2], and almost every male patient was smoker. The indication of operation was similar in both disease entities. The method of operation for ASO were bypass procedure [17], thromboendarterectomy [6], and lumbar sympathectomy [5], and for Buerger`s disease were mainly sympathectomy and few bypass procedures and amputations. Seventeen patients with ASO were followed from 3 to 75 month and overall patency rate for bypass or endarterectomy in one and two months and 2 1/2 yr were 93%, 87%, and 31% respectively. Post operatively patient`s symptoms was relieved or alleviated in almost ASO patients, and about 60% of Buerger`s disease. We concluded that in patient with ischemic limb, we must revascularized aggressively for symptomatic relief. And choice of graft for bypass procedure was to be evaluated further.

This report is a review of 55 cases of peripheral arterial disease, who were treated at the department of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, Masan Koryo General Hospital from January, 1986 to December, 1990. 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.

Causalgia is an extremely incapacitating disease often associated with a major peripheral nerve injury, which is characterized by sustained diffuse burning pain, allodynia and hyperpathia. The condition follows traumatic nerve lesions, often combined with vasomotor and sudomotor disturbances and later trophic changes. While sympathectomy has been the classical treatment of causalgia, others nonsurgical therapies such as regional sympathetic block, IV regional sympathetic block, oral adrenolytic drugs, transcutaneous electrical nerve simulation, physical theraphy, cryotheraphy and psychotheraphy have been used. Causalgia is rare in children and early treatment is controversial because of the possibility of many different complications following aggressive treatment. This is a report of a 6-year-old girl with causalgia suffered after a right posterior tibial nerve injury following an intragluteal injection of an antipyretics. We successfully treated this syndrome with continuous epidural block using 0.5% lidocaine and no specific complication was encountered.

Efforts from many different approaches have been made to cure Raynaud's phenomenon using dosal sympathectomy and topical injection of nitroglycerine, phentolamine or procaine and oral or parenteral administration of various drugs. However, there has been no successful management proven yet. In recent years, it was reported that intra-arterial adminstriation of various drugs in normal subjects as well as patients with Raynaud's syndrome, had emonstrated a significant increase in blood flow to the hands. We used an intermittent stellate ganglion block in conjunction with intra-arterial injection of reserpine and procaine in the patient suffering from finger necrosis caused by accidental intraarterial antibiotic (cephamezine) injection. The stellate ganglion block was performed via a paratracheal approach by injection of 0.5% bupivacaine 6 ml, and 1% lidocaine 6 ml, and followed by administration of reserpine 1 mg and procaine 50 mg through a butterfly needle inserted in the radial artery. The administration of reserpine and procaine was done twice. The stellate ganglion block was performed every day for about 3 days, then once every a 5 days as needed for 15 days. As the procedure was carried out, the discolored tissue improved and the pain was progressively relieved. In conclusion, it was suggested that the intra-arterial administration of reserpine and procaine helped initiate and accelerate the increasing blood flow to the hand and the stellate ganglion block continued to help revascularization by dilating the peripheral beds.

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.
