Pulmonary vein wedge angiography was applied to two patients of 2 years old TOF with PFO. Left pulmonary artery was not visualized by standard right ventriculogram and catheter was not entered into main pulmonary artery. Through PFO and left atrium, pulmonary vein wedge angiography at left lower pulmonary vein was done. The ipsilateral pulmonary artery & its trees in both cases and the contralateral pulmonary artery in one case were well visualized. Dangerous complication, such as massive bronchoconstriction due to extravasation of contrast material into the bronchus, was not developed. Mild coughing was occurred, but well tolerable in both cases. We recommended a dose of 0.8 mL/Kg of contrast material at a rate of 2 to 3 mL/sec and 1 to 2 mL/Kg of flush solution at the same rate by the hand, and routine use of pulmonary vein wedge angiography in cyanotic patients whose pulmonary artery was not visualized by the standard angiography.

연구배경: 폐색전증은 조기진단으로 신속한 치료를 요하는 치명적인 질환으로 관심여부에 따라서는 비슷한 조건의 병원규모라 하더라도 진단율이 상이한 차이를 나타내는 것으로 알려져있다. 폐색전증 진단에서 나선식 전산화 단층촬영 혈관조영술은 높은 민감도와 특이도를 나타낸다고 알려져있다. 저자들은 폐색전증에서 나선식 전산화 단층촬영 혈관조영술의 2, 3차원 영상소견과 진단적 가치를 평가하였고, 나선식 전산화 단층촬영 혈관조영술과 폐관류 스캔을 비교하였다. 방 법: 1997년 9월에서부터 1998년 8월까지 20명의 환자에서 나선식 전산화 단층촬영 혈관조영술을 시행하였고, 이 중 14명의 환자에서 폐관류 스캔을 동시에 시행하여 그 임상적 기록과 함께 분석하였다. 또한 색전의 위치에 따른 혈관 분포 및 동반된 폐실질의 변화를 분석하였다. 결 과: 폐색전증의 색전의 위치에 따른 분포양상을 보면, 좌측 혜(n=103) 보다 우측 폐(n=129)에, 좌 우측폐의 상엽과 중엽을 합친 것(n=101)보다 하엽(n=116)에 많은 빈도를 보였고, 세분절이하로 갈수록 많은 빈도를 보이는데 하엽에서는 5 번째에서 감소되는데, 이것은 세분절이하 혈관 색전에서 나선식 전산화 단층촬영 혈관조영술의 낮은 발견율 및 동반된 폐경색과 무기폐 등이 주로 하엽에 생기기 때문에 가려진 것으로 생각된다. 나선식 전산화 단층촬영 혈관조영술로 폐색전증 진단시, 1명에서 위음성을 보여 95%(19명/20명)의 발견율을 보였고, 급성 및 만성 소견이 각각 16명, 3명이었고, 폐경색, 무기폐, 흉막삼출이 각각 9명(45%), 4명(20%), 6명(30%)이었다. 결 론: 2, 3차원 영상이 포함된 나선식 전산화 단층촬영 혈관조영술은 폐색전증에서 비침습적인 진단 방법으로 1) 폐실질을 포함하여 색전의 전체적 분포를 용이하게 알 수 있으며, 2) 진단시 높은 발견율을 보이며, 3) 비교적 급성과 만성의 구분이 되고, 4) 동반된 폐실질의 변화와 흉막삼출을 보는데 유용한 진단방법이며, 5) 폐관류 스캔 소견과 높은 연관성을 보였다. 제한점으로는 세분절이하에서 인지 장애(perception error)가 있다. 또한, 만성 폐쇄성 폐질환, 천식, 결핵 등이 동반된 호흡기 질환에서는 색전이 나선식 전산화 단층촬영 혈관조영술에서 간과(missing) 될 수 있다.

This study was performed to identify the normal anatomic orientation of pulmonary arteries and to obtain the normal baseline parameters and the optimal contrast material delivery methods of computed tomographic pulmonary angiography (CTPA) on normal beagle dogs. Based on the contrast injection flow rate, the contrast volume, and the administration methods, the experimental groups were divided into 4 groups such as group 1 : 2 ml/s, 3 ml/kg, and monophasic administration; group 2 : 5 ml/s, 3 ml/kg, and monophasic administration; group 3 : 5 ml/s, 4 ml/kg, and monophasic administration; group 4 : 5 ml/s and 2 ml/kg in first phase, 0.3 ml/s and 2 ml/kg in second phase, as biphasic administration. Normal anatomic orientation of pulmonary arteries in CTPA was evaluated through reformatted and 3D images after retro-reconstruction. Normal parameters for great arteries and peripheral pulmonary arteries were obtained on the factor of basement hounsfield unit (HU) values, contrast enhanced HU values, delay time, and peak time. And the optimal contrast delivery methods were evaluated on the factor of contrast enhanced HU values, image quality, and artifact. The monophasic administration with 5 ml/s contrast injection flow rate and 3 ml/kg contrast volume was optimal in canine CTPA.

Bilateral coronary artery-pulmonary artery fistula is very uncommon congenital heart disease which occupy small percentage of all coronary arterio-venous fistulas. We experienced a case who was 52 years old female with bilateral coronary artery-pulmonary artery fistula. She complained exertional dyspnea k angina[coronary steal syndrome]. On physical examination, any cardiac murmur was not audible. There was no 0y step-up in right heart catheterization. But selective coronary angiography revealed tortuous aberrant vessels which originated from the canal branch of the right coronary artery k the left anterior descending coronary artery. Both aberrant vessels traversed the right ventricular outflow tract, and conjoined just proximal the pulmonic annulus and drained into the main pulmonary artery. The operation was performed under the extracorporeal circulation with beating heart. The procedures were suture-ligation of the draining orifice in main pulmonary artery & the feeding vessels on the right ventricular outflow tract. Postoperatively her complaints were completely disappeared and the selective coronary angiography revealed no left-to-right shunt.

Pulmonary arteriovenous fistula is a rare congenital vascular malformation resulting from abnormal capillary development with incomplete formation of vascular septum normally dividing the primitive connections between the venous and arterial plexuses. Recently we have experienced a case of the bilateral pulmonary arteriovenous fistula in 7 years-old female patient. On admission, clinical manifestations were cyanosis of lips, clubbing and cyanosis of digits, and exertional dyspnea. The PO2 in arterial blood gas analysis was 43.3mmHg. In left upper and right lower lobe pulmonary arteriovenous fistulas were confirmed by bilateral pulmonary angiography. Left upper lobectomy and wedge resection of right lower lobe were performed respectively. Postoperative results were good.

Bilateral intralobar and extralobar pulmonary sequestration is an extremely rare anomaly. At present, four pathologically proven cases and two possible cases have been reported in the literature insofar as we know. We have found no previous reports in the literature in which simultaneous bilateral intralobar and extralobar pulmonary sequestration were present. We report a first case presenting as bilateral intralobar and extralobar pulmonary sequestration, recently performed staged bilateral resection, and emphasize the importance of computed tomography and angiography in diagnosis and operation.

Pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum is a extremely rare congenital cardiac anomaly. With the history of cyanosis and failure to thrive, this anomaly should not be excluded and emergency management is necessary. Our patient was 69 day-old male with pulmonary atresia which was confirmed by cardiac angiography. Prostaglandin E1 was used for maintenance of pulmonary blood flow preoperatively. Right ventricular outflow reconstruction with pericardial patch and concomitant pulmonary valvotomy were done on beating heart for palliation. With this method, growing of right ventricle and tricuspid annulus are highly expected.

Background: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of EBT(Electron Beam Tomography) in the diagnosis of conotruncal anomaly and to determine whether it can be used as a substitute for cardiac angiography. Material and Method: 20 patients(11M & 9F) with TOF(n=7, pulmonary atresia 2), DORV(n=7), complete TGV(n=4), & corrected TGV(n=2) were included. The age ranged from 7 days to 26 years(median 60 days). We analyzed the sequential chamber localization, the main surgical concenrn in each disease category (PA size, LVED volume and coronary artery pattern for TOF & pulmonary atresia, the LV mass, LVOT obstruction, coronary artery pattern for complete TGV, and type of VSD and TV-PV distance for DORV, etc) and other associated anomalies(e.g., VSD, arch anomalies, tracheal stenosis, etc). Those were compared with the results of echocardiography(n=19), angiography (n=9), and surgery(n=11). The interval between EBT and echocardiography/angiography was within 20/11 days, respectively except for an angiography in a patient with corrected TGV (48 days). Result: EBT correctly diagnosed the basic components of conotruncal anomalies in all subjects, compared to echocardiography, angiography or surgery. These included the presence, type and size of VSD(n=20), pulmonic/LV outflow tract stenosis(n=15/2), relation of great arteries and the pattern of the proximal epicardial coronary arteries(16 out of 20). EBT proved to be accurate in quantitation of the intrapericardial and hilar pulmonary arterial dimension and showed high correlation and no difference compared with echocardiography, angiography, or surgery(p>0.05) except for left pulmonary arterial & ascending arterial dimension by echocardiography. LVED volume in seven TOF(no difference: p>0.05 & high correlation: r=0.996 with echocardiography), and LV mass in 4 complete TGV were obtained. Additionally, EBT enabled the cdiagnosis of subjlottic tracheal stenosis and tracheal bronchus in 1 respectively. Some peripheral PA stenosis were not detected by echocardiography, while echocardiography appeared to be slightly more accurate than EBT in detecing ASD or PDA. Conclusion: EBT can be a non-invasive and accurate modality of for the evaluation of most anatomical alteration including peripheral PS or interruption in patients with conotruncal anomalies. Combined with echocardiography, EBT study provides sufficient information for the palliative or total repair of anomalies.
