장관의 문합부전에 대하여 장관내 삽관이 치료에 도움이 될 수 있을 것으라고 생각되고 있으나, 이에 대한 보고는 찾아보기 드물다. 저자들은 식도와 위의 중복암 환자에서 식도-공장 문합술후에 발생한 문합부전에 대하여 식도내 삽관으로 매우 효과적이고 빠른 호전을 경험하였다. 식도내 삽관은 술후 제28병일에 시행하였으며, 삽입후 약 3주후부터 문합부 유출 및 염증소견들이 소실되었다. 수술후 약 11개월이 경과한 현재, 삽관은 약 1 cm 가량 하방으로 이동되어 있으나 더 이상의 변화는 없으며, 환자는 고형식사을 지속하고 있다. 따라서 저자들은 장문합부전의 제한된 경우에 있어서는 장관내 삽관이 도움을 줄 수 있을 것이라고 생각한다.

Stenosing airway disease is classified as intraluminal obstruction, extrinsic compression, and malacia by the anatomical site of the lesion. Stenting therapy is indicated for symptomatic relief of life-threatening dyspnea caused by the last two types. Airway stents are made with metal mesh and/or silicone rubber, and currently more than 20 kinds of stent are available. Among many kinds of silicone stent, the Dumon stent is mostly widely used for benign and malignant airway stenoses, but general anesthesia and rigid bronchoscopy are needed for insertion. It can be removed when the stenosing airway disease subsides completely. In many clinical studies, most patients $(85-90\%)$ improved immediately after stenting, and procedure-related mortality was low $(<3\%)$ in experienced centers. Stent displacement, mucus impaction, and granulation tissue formation are potential complications. Stenting is one of many effective therapeutic modalities for stenosing central airway disease. Careful patient selection, experiences, and continuous development of new technology will bring better results.

10살된 암컷 요오크셔테리어(체중 3 kg)가 심한 호흡곤란 청색증, 간헐성 발작 증상으로 진료가 의뢰되었다 신체검사 결과 지속성 맥박결손을 동반한 불규칙 서맥이 부정기적으로 관찰되었다. 심전도 검사에서 고도의 방실차단이, 방사선검사에서 중증 기관허탈이 진단되었다. 피부경유 심박조절 하에 자동확장 기관내 스텐트를 성공적으로 장착할 수 있었다.

Objective : To evaluate the safety and efficacy of an overlapped stenting-assisted coiling technique in treating vertebral artery dissecting aneurysm (VADA) via Low-profile Visualized Intraluminal Support (LVIS) stent-within-Neuroform EZ stent. Methods : From January 2017 to June 2019, 18 consecutive patients with VADAs (ruptured : unruptured=5 : 13) were treated with the overlapping stents assisted-coiling technique in our center. The overlapping manner was a Neuroform EZ stent being deployed first, followed by LVIS stents placement using the 'shelf' technique. The patients' clinical characteristics, technical feasibility and safety, and immediate and follow-up angiographic results were retrospectively reviewed. Results : Seventeen (94.4%) procedures were technically successful with an exact deployment of the stents and patent parent or perforator arteries. The immediate angiographies after procedure confirmed Raymond class I, II, and III occlusion of VADAs were in 12 (66.7%), two (11.1%), and four cases (22.2%), respectively. Post-procedural complications developed in one patient (5.6%) with minor brainstem infarctions, which resulted from an in-stent thrombosis during the procedure. Angiographic follow-up at 5.7 months (range 3 to 9 months) demonstrated Raymond class I and II occlusion were in all cases (100%). The modified Rankin Scale scores at 21.3 months (range 15 to 42 months) 0-2 in 17 cases (94.4%) and three in one case (5.6%). Conclusion : Overlapping stents via LVIS stent-within-Neuroform EZ stent combined with coiling is safe and effective for patients with VADA in the midterm results.
