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.

There was no significant difference in morbidity and mortality between those that received simultaneous operation for coronary artery disease and peripheral vascular disease versus those that received coronary artery bypass graft alone. Simultaneous operation is also cost effective. A 46 year-old patient with resting chest pain and intermittent claudication was diagnosed as unstable angina and Leriche's syndrome. We performed simultaneous revascularization for coronary artery stenosis with internal mammary artery and right gastroepiploic artery and a bifurcated vascular graft interposition between in the aorta, left common iliac and right femoral arteries for Leriche's syndrome. The postoperative coronary angiogram and aortogram revealed a good patency of the arterial conduits and vascular graft. He has been followed for 12 months without any problem.

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.

We present a rare case of a patient with aortoiliac occlusive disease on the background of type A crossed renal ectopia, for whom open surgical intervention was required. Aortic exposure in patients with concomitant crossed renal ectopia can present technical challenges to the vascular surgeon. The knowledge of variations in the ectopic renal blood supply is of paramount importance when performing surgery to treat this condition and affects the choice of surgical exposure. We present and discuss the operative details of our patient and outline an approach to this subset of patients.

Kawasaki disease (KD), an acute vasculitis that primarily affects young children, is the most common acquired paediatric cardiovascular disease in developed countries. While sequelae of arterial inflammation in the acute phase of KD are well documented, its late effects on vascular health are increasingly unveiled. Late vascular dysfunction is characterized by structural alterations and functional impairment in term of arterial stiffening and endothelial dysfunction and shown to involve both coronary and systemic arteries. Further evidence suggests that continuous low grade inflammation and ongoing active remodeling of coronary arterial lesions occur late after acute illness and may play a role in structural and functional alterations of the arteries. Potential importance of genetic modulation on vascular health late after KD is implicated by associations between mannose binding lectin and inflammatory gene polymorphisms with severity of peripheral arterial stiffening and carotid intima-media thickening. The changes in cholesterol and lipoproteins levels late after KD further appear similar to those proposed to be atherogenic. While data on adverse vascular health are less controversial in patients with persistent or regressed coronary arterial aneurysms, data appear conflicting in individuals with no coronary arterial involvements or only transient coronary ectasia. Notwithstanding, concerns have been raised with regard to predisposition of KD in childhood to accelerated atherosclerosis in adulthood. Until further evidence-based data are available, however, it remains important to assess and monitor cardiovascular risk factors and to promote cardiovascular health in children with a history of KD in the long term.

목적 : 당뇨병 환자에서는 관동맥질환의 이환율이 높고 무통성 심근경색과 심근허혈의 빈도가 높아 조기발견이 어렵다. 또한 진단될 당시에 이미 심각한 수준의 관동맥질환을 가지고 있는 경우가 많다. 본 연구에서는 Tc-99m MIBI 심근관류 SPECT을 이용하여 당뇨병 환자에서 관동맥질환의 빈도를 평가하고 전통적인 심장위험 인자들을 포함한 여러 임상시험인자들 중에서 진단이 필요한 고위험군 환자들을 예측할 수 있는 인자들을 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 2000년 1월부터 2004년 7월 사이에 심근관류 SPECT 검사가 의뢰된 203명의 당뇨병환자(남 64명, 평균연령 $64.9{\pm}9.0$세)를 대상으로 하였다. 심장사망 및 비치명적 심근경색을 중증심장사건으로 정의하였고, 검사 후 60일 이후에 경피적 관동맥성형술이나 관동맥 우회수술을 시행한 정도의 심근허혈의 악화를 경증심장사건으로 정의하였다. 환자들은 운동 부하 (n=6) 혹은 adenosine (n=197) 부하 Tc-99m MIBI 심근관류 SPECT을 시행하였다. 이중검출기(ADAC, USA) 혹은 삼중검출기 감마카메라(PRISM 3000, Picker, USA)를 이용하여 SPECT 영상을 획득하였다. 결과: 심근관류 SPECT 결과 관동맥질환이 진단된 환자들은 58명으로 전체 대상 환자 중 28.6%였다. 총 11건의 중증심장사건, 즉 비치명적 심근경색이 발생하였고 10건의 경증심장사건이 관찰되었다. 전체 대상 당뇨병 환자들의 연간 심장사건 발생률은 1.1%였다. 임상인자들의 단변량 분석 결과, 전형적인 협심증상, 말초혈관병증, 다발성 말초신경병증, 그리고 안정시 심전도상 이상이 심장사건의 발생과 유의한 관련성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 다변량 분석에서는 전형적인 협심증상, 말초혈관병증, 그리고 안정시 심전도상 이상만이 비치명적 심근경색 발생에 대한 독립적인 예측인자인 것으로 나타났다. SPECT 검사상 관류 이상 소견이 있었던 환자들에게서 중증 심장사건이 일어나는 빈도도 높았으나 심장사건의 독립적인 예측인자는 아니었다. 결론: 당뇨병 환자에서 관동맥질환의 빈도는 정상건강인들에 비해 높았다. 특히 남자, 20년 이상의 긴 당뇨병 이환 기간, 말초혈관병증, 다발성 말초신경병증, 또는 안정시 심전도 이상을 가지고 있는 환자들에서 유의하게 더 높은 빈도로 관동맥질환이 나타남을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 전형적인 협심증상, 말초혈관병증, 다발성 말초신경병증, 안정시 심전도 이상이 있는 환자들에서 이후 중증 심장사건이 발생할 위험이 더 큰 것으로 나타났다.

Purpose: This study is to assess the involvement of vessels in lower extremity in diabetics, using color doppler ultrasonogram. Materials and Methods: Arteries of both lower extremities were divided into 3 groups-large vessel (above-knee arteries), popliteal vessel, and small vessel(below-knee arteries) -, and evaluated using color doppler ultrasonogram in 60 diabetics. In color doppler ultrasonogram, the wave forms of all vessels were divided into 5 grades; grade I was triphasic wave form, grade II was spectral broadening form, grade III was monophasic wave form, grade IV was pulsus tardus et parvus form, grade V was absence of wave. Grade III, IV, V were grouped into vessel obstruction. We reviewed the correlationships among the degree of the peripheral vascular involvement, duration of dibetes, existence of bilaterality, types of dibetes. Results: Bilateral involvement was high in both lower extremity. Luminal stenosis, vascular calcification and vessel obstruction were high incidence in the patients over ten years of diabetic duration. Prevalence of vascular calcification and vessel obstruction were high in the small vessel of ankle level. But, insulin injection was not related to the incidence of vascular abnormality. Conclusion: Color doppler ultrasonogram seems to be useful for evaluation of peripheral vascular status, decision making for necessity of additional test, periodic follow -up tool in diabetes patients.
