Objective : To investigate the efficacy of extracranial-intracranial (EC-IC) bypass surgery using a radial artery interposition graft (RAIG) for surgical management of cerebrovascular diseases. Methods : The study involved a retrospective analysis of 13 patients who underwent EC-IC bypass surgery using RAIG at a single neurosurgical institute between 2003 and 2009. The diseases comprised intracranial aneurysm (n=10), carotid artery occlusive disease (n=2), and delayed stenosis in the donor superficial temporal artery (STA) following previous STA-middle cerebral artery bypass surgery (n=1). Patients were followed clinically and radiographically. Results : Bypass surgery was successful in all patients. At a mean follow-up of 53.4 months, the short-term patency rate was 100%, and the long-term rate was 92.3%. Twelve patients had an excellent clinical outcome of Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) 5, and one case had GOS 3. Procedure-related complications were a temporary dysthesia on the graft harvest hand (n=1) and a hematoma at the graft harvest site (n=1), and these were treated successfully with no permanent sequelae. In one case, spasm occurred which was relieved with the introduction of mechanical dilators. Conclusion : EC-IC bypass using a RAIG appears to be an effective treatment for a variety of cerebrovascular diseases requiring proximal occlusion or trapping of the parent artery.

Brachial artery aneurysms are rare diseases that may be caused by infection or trauma. We report a case of a 71-year-old man who presented with a mass in his right antecubital fossa that increased in size slowly over time. Three years ago, the patient underwent ascending and total-arch replacement with artificial vessel graft to treat aortic root and ascending aorta aneurysm. Preoperative physical examination of right upper extremity showed a nonpulsatile mass with normal pulse of axillary, brachial, and radial arteries. The mass was removed and brachial artery reconstruction was done initially using saphenous vein graft. Two months later, the patient revisited with recurrent pseudoaneurysm, involving the bifurcation point of brachial artery. Aneurysm was totally resected and the brachial artery was reconstructed by interposition graft using a bifurcated GORE-TEX artificial vessel graft. The patient healed without complication and no recurrence was observed. Artificial vessel graft is an available option for reconstruction, and revascularization of vessel defect after excision of brachial artery aneurysm may involve bifurcation point.

Introduction: Surgical treatment of subclavian artery (SA) injury is challenging because approaching the lesion directly and clamping the proximal artery is difficult. This can be overcome by using an endovascular technique. Case 1: A 37-year-old male was drawn into the concrete mixer truck. He had a right SA injury with multiple traumatic injuries: an open fracture of the right leg with posterior tibial artery (PTA) injury, a right hemothorax, and fractures of the clavicle, scapula, ribs, cervical spine and nasal bone. The injury severity score (ISS) was 27. Computed tomography (CT) showed a 30-mm-length thrombotic occlusion in the right SA, which was 15 mm distal to the vertebral artery (VA). A self-expandable stent($8mm{\times}40mm$ in size) was deployed through the right femoral artery while preserving VA flow, and the radial pulse was palpable after deployment. Other operations were performed sequentially. He had a viable right arm during a 13-month follow-up period. Case 2: A 25-year-old male was admitted to our hospital due to a motorcycle accident. The ISS was 34 because of a hemothorax and open fractures of the mandible and the left hand. Intraoperative angiography was done through a right femoral artery puncture. Contrast extravasation of the SA was detected just outside the left rib cage. After balloon catheter had been inflated just proximal to the bleeding site, direct surgical exploration was performed through infraclavicular skin incision. The transected SA was identified, and an interposition graft was performed using a saphenous vein graft. Other operations were performed sequentially. He had a viable left arm during a 15-month follow-up period. Conclusion: The challenge of repairing an SA injury can be overcome by using an endovascular approach.

관상동맥우회술은 인공심폐기 및 심근보호의 안정성으로 인공심폐기 사용하에 시행하는 것이 보편화된 방법이다. 그러나 좌전하행지 및 우관상동맥에 병소가 위치하는 경우는 인공심폐기의 사용 없이 심장이 박동하는 상태에서 관상동맥우회술을 시행하는 방법도 일부에서는 시행되어 왔으며 최근에는 최소한의 절개하에서 관상동맥우회술을 시행하는 방법도 대두되었다. 본 병원에서는 1996년 3월부터 8월까지 시행한 35례의 관상동맥우회술중 6례에서 인공심폐기를 사용하지 않고 관상동맥우회술을 시행하였다. 환자는 남자 4례와 여자 2례였으며 나이는 55세에서 76세로 평균 64세였다. 수술전 관상동맥의 병소는 6례 모두 좌전하행지에 90%이상의 협착을 보였으며 1례는 대각지가 50%, 또 다른 1례에서는 좌주관상동맥이 50%정도의 협착을 동시에 보였다. 수술에 필요한 개흉방법은 통상적인 정중흉골절개가 1례, 부분흉골절개술을 시행한 경우가 2례, 좌측전흉부를 개흉한 경우가 3례였다. 관상동맥우회술은 5례에서 좌측내흉동맥을 좌전하행지에 문합하였으며, 1례에서는 좌측내흉동맥에 요골동맥편을 단단문합한후 좌전하행지에 문합하였다. 또한 1례는 복재정맥을 이용하여 대각지에도 동시에 우회술을 시행하였다. 수술후 기관발관시간은 4시간에서 14시간으로 평균 9시간이었다. 수술에 사용한 혈액의 양은 평균 800 ml였으며 2례에서는 전혀 혈액을 사용하지 않았다. 이들중 5례에서 수술후 추적관상동맥조영술을 술후 7일에서 10일사이에 시행하여 100%의 개통율을 보였다. 결론적으로 좌전하행지나 우관상동맥에 협착이 있는 경우나 상기병소에 경피적풍선확장술이 실패한 경우에 인공심폐기를 사용하지 않고 최소한의 개흉하에 관상동맥우회술을 시행하는 것도 하나의 방법이라 사료되며 앞으로 기술적 발전과 더불어 적응대상군이 증가할 것으로 판단된다.32, 88.67$\pm$10.22 mmHg로 감소하였고 폐동맥압의 평균은 수술전에 11.4$\pm$5.68 mmHg에서 25.94$\pm$11.53, 29.67$\pm$9.31 mmHg로 증가 하였으나 모두 통계적 의의는 없었다(p>0.05). 양측 폐이식수술에서인 폐동정맥문합부위의 파열, 협착, 뒤틀림 등의 수술수기상의 문제점을 예방하면서 우측폐를 먼저 이식하면서, 폐수술시야를 충분히 확보하고, 재관류손상을 방지하는 경우 cystic fibrosis, pulmonary hypertention, emphysema와 같은 심한 호흡부전증 환자의 치료방법으로 적합하리라 사료된다.에서 선택수술 (elective coronary artery bypass graft)에 비하여 특별한 위험 요소의 증가 관상 동맥 우회술을 적용하여 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 있었으며 이들에 대한 장기 추적이 릴요할 된다.착군에 비하여 의미있게 작았는데 이는 아마도수술 당시 협 착 부위의 완전제거가 이루어지지 않은 것이 원인이라고 사료되었다. 본 분석에서는 어린 연령(3개월 이하), 3개월이하에 시행한 쇄골하동맥편 교약성형술이 의미있는 재협착의 위험요소로 밝혀졌다. 결론 적으로 저자등은 본연구를 통하여 대동맥협부지수, 횡대동맥 지수 등이 개개 대동맥교약 환아의 해부학 적, 임상적 특징을 파악하는데 도움이 되는 도구라는 사실을 발견하였고 아울러 교약의 해부학적 특성, 동반 심기 형, 연령, 수술방법 등이 수술사망 및 재협착에 영향한다는 사실을 입증하였다.t was resulted from increase of weight of single cocoon.
