Objective: To determine the incidence and etiologies of celiac axis stenosis in asymptomatic individuals. Materials and Methods: This prospective study involved 400 consecutive patients (male: 319, female: 81) referred to us for celiac arteriography between April and July 1999. When celiac axis branches were opacified by collateral circulation during superior mesenteric arteriography, the presence of celiac axis stenosis was suspected; lateral projection celiac arteriography was performed and the pressure gradient was measured. The indicators used to determine whether or not celiac axis stenosis was significant were luminal narrowing of more than 50% and a resultant pressure gradient of at least 10 mmHg. Its etiology was determined on the basis of angiographic appearances and CT findings. Results: Twenty-nine patients (7.3%) had celiac axis stenosis. The etiology of the condition was extrinsic compression due to the median arcuate ligament in 16 patients (55%) and atherosclerosis in three (10%), while in ten (35%) it was not determined. The incidence of celiac axis stenosis did not vary significantly according to sex, age and the presence of calcified aortic plaque representing atherosclerosis. Conclusion: The incidence of hemodynamically significant celiac axis stenosis in this asymptomatic Korean population was 7.3% and the most important etiology was extrinsic compression by the median arcuate ligament of the diaphragm. Atherosclerosis was only a minor cause of the condition.

We report a case of celiac artery dissection after abdominal blunt trauma. A 29-year-old man visited the emergency room for acute left periumbilical pain after abdominal blunt trauma from his child. Computed tomography showed a wedge-shaped splenic infarction with splenic artery thrombus. He was hospitalized for careful observation, and after two days, follow-up computed tomographic angiography showed a progressed celiac artery dissection that involved common hepatic artery and an increased extent of splenic infarction. He underwent conventional angiography, and a self-expandable stent was placed between the celiac axis and the common hepatic artery. After two days, follow-up computed tomographic angiography showed good hepatic arterial blood flow via the stent and no progression of splenic infarction. After ten days, he was discharged without complications.

We report a redo coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in a 55-year-old man. Angina recurred 7 years after the initial surgery. Coronary angiography showed all patent grafts except a faint visualization of the in situ right gastroepiploic artery (RGEA) graft, which was anastomosed to the posterior descending coronary artery, associated with celiac axis stenosis. Redo-CABG was performed at postoperative 10 years because of aggravated angina and decreased perfusion of the inferior wall in the myocardial single photon emission computed tomography. The saphenous vein graft was interposed between the 2 in situ grafts used previously; the right internal thoracic artery and RGEA grafts. Angina was relieved and myocardial perfusion was improved.

복부 전산화단층촬영 후 3차원 볼륨렌더링으로 재구성한 영상을 분석하여 복부대동맥에서 분지하는 복강축과 위창자간막동맥을 기준으로 해부학적 변위를 분류하여 평가하고자 하였다. 복부 전산화단층혈관촬영을 시행한 613명 환자의 3차원 볼륨렌더링 영상을 이용하여 해부학적 변위를 형태별로 분류한 결과 552명(Type I, II)은 정상 구조에 속하였고, 61명(Type III~XII)은 변위로 분류하였다. Type I이 339명 (55.31%), Type II가 213명(34.74%)으로 나타났으며 변위로 분류된 경우는 Type III은 18명(2.93%), Type IV는 12명 (1.95%), Type V는 11명 (1.79%), Type VI는 9명 (1.46%), Type VII는 6명 (0.97%)으로 나타났으며, Type VIII~XII는 각각 1명 (0.16%)으로 전혀 새로운 변위형태로 분류되었다. 결론적으로 복강축과 위창자간막동맥을 기준으로 변위를 분류한 결과 그동안 간동맥 중심의 해부학적 변위 분류에서는 관찰되지 않았던 9가지의 새로운 변위형태를 파악할 수 있었다. 이는 새로운 혈류지도를 만드는 중요한 자료로 이용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

A recent successful prospective randomized control study comparing open distal pancreatectomy with laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy (LDP) has shown that LDP is a safe and effective surgical modality in treating left-sided pancreatic pathological conditions requiring surgical extirpation. With the accumulating surgical experiences and improved surgical techniques, we recently reported several cases of successful LDP in advanced pancreatic cancer following neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Herein, we report a case of LDP with celiac axis resection (LDP-CAR) in locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) following neoadjuvant chemotherapy. A 58-yearold female with LAPC was referred to our institution. Computed tomography (CT) findings revealed a 24-mm mass in the pancreatic body that showed celiac artery (CA), common hepatic artery abutment. There was no abutment with superior mesenteric artery, superior mesenteric vein, and portal vein. From these findings, Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (FORFIRINOX) was performed biweekly. After 8 cycles of chemotherapy, the tumor size was slightly decreased (24 mm to 16 mm), but still abutting to CA. After 14 cycles of chemotherapy, CT revealed the same tumor size (16 mm) still abutting to CA. LDP-CAR was performed. Intraoperative ultrasonography gastric perfusion and hepatic perfusion were confirmed using indocyanine green. The patient recovered without complications and was discharged from the hospital nine days after the surgery.

하췌십이지장동맥 동맥류는 드물다. 진성 하췌십이지장동맥 동맥류의 약 50%가 복강동맥의 협착 또는 폐색과 관련이 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 하췌십이지장동맥 동맥류는 발견되는 즉시 치료해야 하는데, 파열 시 사망률이 50%에 이르기 때문이다. 최근에 가장 널리 쓰이는 치료법은 카테터 경유 동맥 색전술이다. 저자들은 복강동맥의 협착 또는 폐쇄를 동반한 하췌십이지장동맥 동맥류를 색전술로 치료한 세 개의 증례를 소개하고, 이에 대한 문헌을 고찰하고자 한다.

Twenty-three patients with aneurysm were operated between Jan. 1956 to July 1983 at the Department of Thoracic surgery, Seoul National University Hospital. There were 18 males and 5 females in this series. The age ranged from 14 to 68 years with the mean age of 41 years. The etiology of aortic aneurysms was atherosclerosis in 10, trauma in 2, annuloaortic ectasia in 4, syphilis in 1, and unknown etiology in six cases. Among the 4 patients with ascending aortic aneurysm, aortic valve replacement with aneurysmorrhaphy in three patients and Bentall operation in one patient were performed successfully. One patient with entire aortic arch aneurysm was received Dacron graft replacement with anastomosis of brachiocephalic arteries separately under cardiopulmonary bypass. There was no complication. Among 6 patients involving the descending thoracic aorta, three patients were managed by prosthetic bypass graft and aneurysm resection, and another three patients were also managed by prosthetic graft replacement. There were three hospital deaths. There were two thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm. One patient in shock state due to preoperative rupture died from cardiac arrest during operative procedure. In another patient who had extensive involvement from the midportion of descending thoracic aorta to the terminal abdominal aorta, the aneurysm was successfully repaired with Dacron graft. In this instance celiac axis, superior and inferior mesenteric arteries and right renal artery were anastomosed separately. Eight of the 10 abdominal aortic aneurysms was replaced with prosthetic graft. One saccular aneurysm was treated by resection and primary closure. In another patient, cardiac arrest occurred during operation before definitive procedure. There was one another hospital death in the patient with preoperative rupture.
