배경: 중심정맥 도관은 1979년 처음 사용된 이래로 암환자의 치료에 있어 많은 편의를 제공하였다. 이에 본원 흉부외과에서는 완전 거치형 정맥도관의 임상 양상 및 사용에 따른 합병증 등을 분석하여 향후 치료에 도움이 되고자 본 연구를 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2004년 11월부터 2006년 2월까지 완전 거치형 정맥도관 시술을 받은 100명의 환자를 대상으로 후향적 연구를 하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 결과: 완전 거치형 정맥 도관 시술의 삽입정맥으로는 우측 쇄골하정맥 삽입이 74예(74%)였으며 좌측쇄골하 정맥(21예, 21%), 우측 경정맥(3예, 3%), 좌측 경정맥(1예, 1%)을 사용하였으며 1예에서는 우측 대퇴정맥을 사용하였다. 초기 합병증으로는 위치 이상이 5예(5%)와 동맥천자한 경우 5예 있었다. 만기 합병증으로는 쇄골하 정맥 혈전 형성이 한 예 있어 현재 항응고제 복용중이며 pinch off 증후군이 2예 있었다. 그 외의 초기 또는 만기 합병증은 없었다. 결론: 완전 거치형 도관의 사용은 합병증의 발생률은 낮고 비교적 안전한 방법이지만 감염, 혈전 형성, 도관의 절단 등은 장기간 사용시 나타날 수 있는 합병증으로 초기에 진단 및 치료가 된다면 더 큰 합병증을 예방할 수 있다.

Lemierre's syndrome is rare disease characterized by anaerobic sepsis, internal jugular vein thrombosis, septic emboli that resulted from head and neck infection. Lemierre's syndrome has significant morbidity, so immediate, accurate diagnosis and treatment is needed. It is necessary to perform contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) for diagnosis. Systemic antibiotics is recommended, and surgical interventions, anticoagulation may beis considered for treatment. We report misdiagnosed case as a simple deep neck infection on initial ultrasonography with simultaneous abscess aspiration but finally diagnosed and treated internal jugular vein thrombophlebitis (Lemierre's syndrome) on CT scan. We report a case of a 45-year-old patient, who was diagnosed with a simple deep neck infection and treated with simultaneous abscess aspiration, but finally diagnosed and treated internal jugular vein thrombophlebitis (Lemierre's syndrome) on CT scan.

We are reporting one case of right subclavian vein thrombotic occlusion as a result of previous hemodialysis catheter placement in a patient with a functioning right brachio-cephalic arteriovenous fistula. Its complication was painful right arm swelling, limitation of motion and cellulitis. Diagnosis was confirmed by right subclavian venography and the complication was successfully managed by right subclavian vein-superior vena cava bypass with a GoreTex vascular graft. The arteriovenous fistula had remained to protect patency of the bypass at first, but two months later after the operation, the arteriovenous fistula had to be occluded because of the heart failure resulting from shunt over flow. After ligation of arteriovenous fistula, heart failure improved, and uncomfortable arm swelling did not develop again.

Purpose: Radial and ulnar arteries are two major arteries responsible for the blood supply of the hand. We experienced early recurrent thrombosis of ulnar artery after arteriorrhaphy in a patient with rupture of ulnar and radial arteries due to glass injury. Thus, we thought this would require reviews. Method: 41 - year - old female patient was presented for the laceration of right wrist due to glass injury. Operative findings revealed the rupture of radial artery, ulnar artery, ulnar nerve and most of the flexor tendons. We performed three consecutive operations because of the recurrent arterial thrombosis in ulnar artery. Arteriorrhaphy was performed in each operation and the interpositional vein graft was performed in the final operation. Result: Consequently, doppler ultrasonography was performed on twentieth postoperative day and fair flow in the ulnar artery was visualized. Pathologic examination of the artery revealed no histopathologic abnormalities. Conclusion: It is not a matter of ease to follow up the patients with rupture of radial or ulnar arteries. Obstruction of the repaired artery is also not easy to detect because it usually presents no definite symptoms. We could detect the obstruction of the artery following arteriorrhaphy with the doppler ultrasonography in less than a week postoperatively, and repeated operations were followed. We reviewed the causes and factors affecting the thrombosis and hereby report with literature review.

Prior to the advent of efficacious antimicrobial agents, the mortality rate from cavernous sinus thrombosis (CST) was effectively 100%. There have been very few reports of CST associated with tooth extraction. A 40-year-old female presented to the emergency room with swelling over the right side of the face and history of extraction in the upper right region by an unregistered dental practitioner. The patient presented with diplopia, periorbital ecchymosis, and chemosis of the right eye. A computed tomography scan revealed venous dilatation of the right superior ophthalmic vein. The patient was immediately treated with incision and drainage, intravenous antibiotics, and heparin (low molecular weight). Unfortunately, the patient died two days after surgery due to complications from the disease. CST is a rare disease with a high mortality rate. Therefore, dental health education in rural areas, legal action against unregistered dental practitioners, early diagnosis, and aggressive antibiotic treatment can prevent future mortality resulting from CST.

Radionuclide venographies were performed in 138 limbs of 58 patients and X-ray contrast venographies were performed in 23 paitents of them. Positive radionuclide venography findings were area of decreased sponding to the region of thrombosis, abnormal collateral flows below the lesion. The success rate of radionulide venography was 89% and the overall concordance between radionuclide venography and X-ray contrast venography was 91%. Radionuclide venography is simple and easy to perform and less invasive than X-ray contrast venography. These results indicate that radionuclide venography is the most ideal screening test for the detection of venous thrombosis in patient with signs & symptoms of deep vein thrombosis.

From november, 1985 to May, 1993, 222 arteriovenous fistulae were made in 201 patients with chronic renal failure. Among them, a total of 183 arteriovenous fistulae in 173 patients were reviewed to evaluate the factors influencing patency rate of the vascular access. The results were revealed as follows: There were 102 men and 71 women,aged 10 to 76 years [mean = 45.7 years]. Sixteen patients of them had previous shunts. The procedures included establishment of 214 radiocephalic or brachioocephalic fistulae, 203 side to end, 9 side to side, 2 end to end, 2 autologous saphenous vein grafts, 6 Gore-Tex grafts. There were 28 early shunt failures[12%] due to use of 23 inadequate veins and 5 thrombosis.There were 32 late complications[14%]; 19 thrombosis, 4 aneurysm, 4 venous hypertension, 3 steal syndrome, 2 infections. There were 32 diabetic patients [17 %]. No significant differences in graft patency were noted between diabetic and nondiabetic individuals. There were no significant difference in graft patency between male and female. Overall shunt patency in 183 cases with chronic renal failure was 96% at I month, 95% at 3 months, 93% at I year, 91% at 2 years, 84% at 3 years, 56% at 5years.This Study showed that early postoperative thrombosis and diabetic vasculopathy were most causes of the vascular access failure and suggested that prevention of thrombi and well control of diabetes mellitus were most important to enhance patency rates of the vascular access.

Pulmonary embolism (PE), which can originate as a consequence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), is the most frequent and potentially fatal venous thromboembolic event. Despite the fact that the incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in Asians is lower than that in the Western populations, a recent epidemiologic study demonstrates an increasing incidence of VTE in the Korean population. Anticoagulants, including low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) and vitamin K antagonist (VKAs), have been the main treatments for PE, however, recently new oral anticoagulants (NOACs) were introduced. We will review how well patients with PE can be managed with the existing anticoagulants and NOACs along with the time span of treatment, which still pose some challenges for clinicians.
