A 2-year-old, female Pomeranian dog was referred for dyspnea. Thoracic radiographs revealed left-sided mediastinal shift, increased soft tissue opacity in the caudal aspect of left thorax with loss of the left diaphragmatic silhouette, and dorsal elevation of mediastinal structures and heart from the sternum by lung tissue. The left main bronchus was visualized as an air-bronchogram and observed to abruptly discontinue at the level of the 10th rib. Thoracic computed tomography (CT) revealed absence of the left lung parenchyma and left pulmonary vessels with a rudimentary left main bronchus. The case was congenital pulmonary aplasia diagnosed via radiography and CT.

Pulmonary arteriovenous fistula is a rare congenital vascular malformation in the lung, resulting from erroneous capillary development, with incomplete formation or disintegration of the vascular septa that would normally divide the primitive connection between the venous and arterial plexus. The pathogenesis of its symptom is that unoxygenated and desaturated arterial blood enter into the pulmonary venous system directly. Recently we have experienced a case of multiple pulmonary arteriovenous fistula in a 15 year old male patient, who presented the symptom of cyanosis and dyspnea on exertion. The operation revealed well circumscribed and multilobulated aneurysmal lesion in left lower lobe with its subpleural and posterolateral basal location, and another aneurysmal lesion in inferior lingular segment of left lung. There was no abnormal connection between the fistula and systemic circulation. The left lower lobectomy was performed along with local extirpation of the inferior lingular segment of left lung. Both lesions showed angiomatous dilatation of the various sized vessels embedded in the parenchyma microscopically. Postoperative clinical course disclosed much improvement in symptoms and in the value of blood gas analysis. The patient was discharged without any complication.

Two groups of left pulmonary-subclavian artery anastomosis were done in 26 adult mongorel dogs. For the first group. the distal end of the subclnvian artery was nnastomosed to the side of the left pulmonary artery, and for the second group, the subclavian end wns anastomosed to the proximal end of the left lower lobe pulmonary artery. Among them, 6 died of bleeding or anesthetic failure during the day of operation, 10 survived 1 to 106 days and the other 10 were sacrificed at various interval. To investigate the relationship between hemodynamic stress and temporal evolution of the pulmonary vascular lesions. the pulmona try and femoral artery pressures, arteriogram and pathohistological specimens were obtained. The following results were obtained. 1. The postoperative pulmonary artery pressures were within normal limits except 2 dogs in the first group, but in nil 12 dogs of the second group, they were in moderate to maked pulmonary hypertension level. 2 After subclavian pulmonary anastomosis, both groups dogs showed increased femond artery pulse pressure. 3. The pulmonary vascular changes were more severe and appeared earlier in the second group dogs compared with the first group.4. The earliest vascular changes appeared in the media of the small muscular arteries and arterioles. 5. Various vascular chaDges were produced in 2 or 3 months. Thereafter, the changes were stationary. 6. Among the first group, two long-term servivors (No. 705 & 713) which had normal pulmonary artery pressure under the anesthesia, also showed various vascular changes as other pulmonary hypertensive dogs. 7. In the early stage medial hypertrophy. interruptio~l of elastic lamellae were found in the small muscular arteries and arterioles, which were followed by intimal proliferation and thrombosis. These findings may suggest some evidences of trauma to the vessels. 8. Pulmonary arteriograms showed irregularity of the intima of the large and medium sized arteries, abrupt ending of some of the small arteries and narrowing of the anastomosis.

각종 폐혈관 질환의 발생에 따른 정확하고 빠른 진단의 필요성이 강조되었다. 몇 가지 폐혈관 조영술의 제약사항의 존재로 흉부 CT에 대한 영상 처리의 필요성을 인지하였고 의료 영상처리의 다양성을 위해 ITK를 이용한 폐혈관 분할을 제안하였다. 본 논문은 명암 값을 기반한 방법으로 두 단계의 폐 영역 분할과 혈관 분할의 과정을 수행한다. 각 단계로 폐 영역 분할은 영상 향상, 문턱치 값, 관심영역 잘라내기로 결과 영상을 획득하고 폐 혈관 분할은 획득된 폐 영역에 영역 채우기를 적용하여 얻는다. 분할된 폐혈관 영상을 바탕으로 3차원 시각화 영상을 획득하여 폐혈관에 대한 다양한 관점의 분석 및 진단이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

Pulmonary arteriovenous fistula is a congenital malformation resulting from errant capillary development, with incomplete formation or disintegration of the vascular septa that normally divide the primitive connections between the venous and arterial plexuses. It generally occurs as part of the disorder known as hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia [Rendu-Osler-Weber disease]. The hereditary lesion is transmitted as a simple non-sex-linked dominant trait. It may be single or multiple, too small to see on plain chest films or large and easily recognized. One third of the lesions are multiple on plain chest film. The pathogenesis of its symptoms is that unoxygenated, desaturated arterial blood enters into the pulmonary venous system, directly. Recently we have experienced a case of the pulmonary arteriovenous fistula in 26 years old male soldier, which was confirmed by pulmonary angiography preoperatively. 2 thumb-tip sized, well circumscribed cystic masses filled with bright red colored blood were seen in subpleural and anterolateral portion of the right upper lobe. Right upper Iobectomy was performed due to close approximation of the fistula with pulmonary vein. Microscopically, it shows angiomatous dilatation of the abnormal vessels embedding in the parenchyma. Postoperative physiologic studies show nearly normal arterial oxygen saturation, hemoglobin and RBC count. There was good, uneventful postoperative course.

배경: 심장판막 및 그 주변의 큰 혈관들의 내피세포는 다른 부위와 달리 훨씬 완화된 면역 반응을 보이는 것에 착안하여, 고정액이나 면역학적 처치를 거치지 않은 이종 판막의 대동맥 판막의 임상적 유용성을 돼지-염소 간 이종 폐동맥 판막도관 이식 실험을 통해 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 돼지 폐동맥 판막도관은 특별한 면역학적 처치를 거치지 않은 채 준비하여 인공심폐기 가동 하에 염소의 우심실 유출로에 이식하였다. 염소들은 군당 2마리씩 배정하여 이식 후 하루, 1주, 3개월, 6개월, 12개월 동안 각각 관찰하였다. 실험동물을 희생하기 전 심초음파검사를 시행하여 판막의 움직임을 관찰하였고, 이종 장기를 적출한 후 판막도관의 조직학적 변화를 관찰하였다. 결과: 총 12마리 중 10마리에서 정해진 기간 동안 생존하였다. 이식된 폐동맥의 전벽의 동맥류가 12개월과 3개월 관찰한 각각 한 마리의 염소에서 발견되었다. 심초음파 검사에서는 다양한 정도의 폐동맥 판막 폐쇄부전의 소견을 보였으나 판막의 협착이나 혈전형성, 증식증은 관찰되지 않았다. 조직학적 관찰에서 이식 세포의 핵은 핵농축 및 핵융해를 통해 없어졌지만, 이식된 이종 판막도관의 세 구역(폐동맥, 폐동맥 판막, 누두부)은 구조가 보존되면서 점차적으로 시간에 따라 숙주 세포로 대체되었다. 결론: 면역학적 처리를 거치지 않은 이종 폐동맥 판막도관이 돼지-염소 간 이종 이식실험에서 다소의 문제점이 발견되기는 하였지만 성공적으로 숙주 세포로 대체되어 기존의 조직판막의 대안이 될 가능성을 제시하였다.

A coronary arteriovenous fistula represents an abnormal communication from a coronary artery that may enter any cardiac chamber, a pulmonary artery, the coronary sinus, the superior vena cava or the pulmonary vein. We had a successful experience with 46 year-old male who complained exertional dyspnea[NYHA classification II] and anginal pain since 5 years ago. In intensive study of cardiac catheterization and coronary cineangiography, multiple bilateral coronary arteriovenous fistulas and mitral stenoinsufficiency with left atrial thrombi were recognized. The coronary arterio-venous fistula of left coronary artery was revealed large tortuous aberrant vessels that were connected between just distal portion of first diagonal branch of left anterior descending artery and main pulmonary artery. Other fistula was small tortuous vessel which was originated from left atrial branch of left circumflex artery, was drained into left atrium. The fistula of right coronary artery was communicated conal branch of right coronary artery to main pulmonary artery. But there was no 0y step-up in the right cardiac catheterization. The operative procedure were suture-ligation of draining orifice of coronary arteriovenous fistula in main pulmonary artery, mitral valve replacement[Ionescu-Shiley 25mm] with removal of left atrial thrombi and plication of left atrium under the extracorporeal circulation. The postoperative course was uneventful without any complication and discharged without problem at 17th postoperative days.

Anomalous origin of right coronary artery from pulmonary artery is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly. Anomalous right coronary artery often be a incidental finding without serious cardiovascular sequale. The only characteristic physical finding is a continuous murmur with diastolic accentuation. There are no diagnostic EKG or chest X-ray changes. Diagnosis is made best by selective left coronary arteriography showing retrograde filling of right coronary artery from collateral vessels. Here, we present a case of twenty-four months old aged girl with anomalous origin of right coronary artery combined with pulmonary stenosis. This is the first pediatric patient with anomalous right coronary artery and the first patient to have surgical correction for this malformation.
