1. Objectives The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of Sasang Constitutional medical diagnosis and treatment on Soyangin Edema caused by Deep Vein Thrombosis. 2. Methods The Subject is a 75 years old woman who has a left lower limb edema caused by Deep Vein Thrombosis, we had diagnosed her as Soyangin and prescribed Sasang Constitutional Medicine. We evaluated with length of patient's calf, thigh, ankle circumference and pitting edema, skin flare after medication. 3. Results Lower limb edma of a Soyangin patient responded well to the treatment with Dojeokganggi-tang(導赤降氣湯). 4. Conclusions This case study shows an efficient result by using Dojeokganggi-tang in treatment of Soyangin edema patient.

In the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, patients with trismus can be easily identified. If the cause of trismus is infection of the masticatory space near the pterygoid plexus, the possibility of cavernous sinus thrombosis should be considered. We report the case of a patient who presented with limited mouth opening and progressed to cavernous sinus thrombosis, along with a review of the relevant literature.

The efficacy of injection sclerotherapy for treatment of acute esophageal variceal bleeding is well established. But several complications of endoscopic sclerotherapy have been reported. One of the complications is mesenteric venous thrombosis which develops when vasopressin is used for the sclerotherapy. We report a case of superior mesenteric venous thrombosis which developed after endoscopic sclerotherapy for control of esophageal variceal bleeding.

Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) can be a rare risk factor of cerebral venous thrombosis. We describe a case of isolated cortical vein thrombosis (CVT) secondary to SIH and discuss the value of susceptibility-weighted imaging for the detection of isolated CVT.

Three-dimensional steady and pulsatile flows in an end-to-side anastomosis were investigated using a finite difference method in order to understand the flow dynamics in the preferential development of distal anastomotic intimal hyperplasia or thrombosis. Steady flow results revealed that a double helical vortex was formed in the host artery and flow recirculations near toe find heel regions were restricted due to the secondary flow. Oscillating wall shear stress with significant secondary flow might be flow dynamic reason of developing intimal hyperplasia or thrombosis near the anastomotic region.

We experienced one case of the calcified giant thrombosis in the enlarged right atrium and coronary sinus with markedly dilated persistent left superior vena cava and absent right superior vena cava in 29year old female patient. We supposed that the dilatation of persistent left superior vena cava was due to poststenotic dilatation secondary to obstruction on orifice of coronary sinus by thrombosis. The giant thrombosis in the right atrium and coronary sinus was successfully resected. She had improvement on preoperative chest discomfort but, the moderate hepatomegaly was developed and then she was discharged with incompletely recovered state due to economical poverty on postoperative 6th weeks. The continuous follow-up and study are indeed necessary for further evaluation of pathology and etiology.

Subclavian vein thrombosis in thoracic outlet syndrome is an uncommon disease. Thrombolysis, venoplasty with a balloon and stent insertion are needed for treating this condition. Sometimes, trans-axillary first rib resection is also needed. We report here on a case of subclavian vein thrombosis that was successfully treated with the medial calviculectomy, internal jugular vein transposition and stent insertion.

A 5-year-old boy was admitted to the hospital with a high fever and abnormal gait. Magnetic resonance imaging showed extensive swelling of the quadriceps and adductor muscles around the right hip and anterior thigh. A duplex scan demonstrated a thrombus from the external iliac vein to below the popliteal vein. The blood culture revealed Streptococcus pyogenes. The patient was immediately treated with antibiotics and anticoagulants. Follow-up sonography demonstrated complete disappearance of the venous thrombosis. We report a case of streptococcal myositis complicated by deep vein thrombosis.

The use of free flaps is an essential and reliable method of reconstruction in complex head and neck defects. Flap failure remains the most feared complication, the most common cause being pedicle thrombosis. Among other measures, thrombolysis is useful when manual thrombectomy has failed to restore flap perfusion, in the setting of late or established thrombosis, or in arterial thrombosis with distal clot propagation. We report a case of pedicle arterial thrombosis with distal clot propagation which occurred during reconstruction of a maxillectomy defect, and was successfully treated with thrombolysis using recombinant tissue plasminogen activator. We also review the literature regarding the use of thrombolysis in free flap surgery, and propose an algorithm for the salvage of free flaps in head and neck reconstruction.

The aim of this study is examine the protection effect for artery and antithrombotic effect of Sokmyong-tang(SMT; xuming-tang) on carotid artery thrombosis in a rat model. Thirty minutes before $FeCl_3$ treatment, SD rats were intraperitoneal injected with SMT. We tested the effects of SMT on time to occlusion (TTO) in thrombosis model by induced $FeCl_3$ using the laser Doppler flow meter and accessed thrombus weight (TW) inhibition and measured collagen fibers in the vessel after injury using Masson's trichrome stain. SMT(100 mg/kg, i.p.) showed significantly delayed TTO ($13.17{\pm}1.33$ min, P < 0.001) compared to vehicle control group ($8.63{\pm}0.92$ min) and inhibiting effect on TW with $0.72{\pm}0.02$ mg/mm (P < 0.05). In addition, SMT prevented collagen fibres damage in injured vessel ($22.24{\pm}4.48%$, P < 0.001). These results provide experimental evidence for SMT can be used to prevent vascular injury and thrombosis such as hypertension, arteriosclerosis, and so on.
