7년령 수컷 핏불테리어에서 두드러진 복부팽창과 심각한 운동 불내성으로 내원했다. 진단검사에서 우심의 확장과 확연한 폐동맥의 확장, 간질성 폐침윤과 우심방과 우심실에 많은 수의 사상충이 발견 되었다. 심초음파의 컬러와 연속 도플러에서 역시 심각한 폐성 고혈압을 동반한 삼첨판과 폐동맥의 역류가 나타났다. 104마리의 심장사상충이 루프 스네어(Snare, Boston Scientific, USA)를 이용한 심장중재술을 통해 제거되었다. 사상충의 제거 후 임상컨디션은 눈에 뛰게 회복되었다. 본 증례는 한국에서 첫 번째로 시행된 루프를 이용한 사상충 제거 케이스이다.

Background: Pinch-off syndrome (POS) is a rare complication after totally implantable venous access device (TIVAD) implantation. In cancer patients, it is important to prevent this rare complication and to recognize it early if it does occur. We present a case series of POS after TIVAD implantation and the results of a literature search about this complication. Methods: From July 2006 to December 2015, 924 permanent implantable central venous catheter implantation procedures were performed. The most common indication was vascular access for chemotherapy. Results: POS occurred in 5 patients in our clinic. Two patients experienced POS within 2 weeks, and the other 3 patients were admitted to department of surgery, Istanbul Faculty of Medicine at 6 to 14 months following implantation. The catheters were found to be occluded during medication administration, and all patients complained of serious pain. The transected fragments of the catheters had migrated to the heart. They were successfully removed under angiography with a single-loop snare. Conclusion: POS is a serious complication after TIVAD implantation. It is important to be aware of this possibility and to make an early diagnosis in order to prevent complications such as drug extravasation and occlusion events.
