In pulmonary arteriovenous fistula, there are abnormal communications between the pulmonary arteries and the pulmonary veins; the capillary networks that normally separate arteries from veins is absent. The only available treatment of this uncommon variety is an excision. We report a case of pulmonary arteriovenous fistula cured by segmentectomy with a review of literatures.

Intralobar pulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital malformation characterized by a cystic portion of the lung that derives its arterial blood supply through aberrant vessel directly of systemic circulation. Two forms of pulmonary sequestration occur; intralobar sequestration is usually contained within the visceral pleura of a pulmonary lobe and its venous drainage to the pulmonary venous system. We presented on case of intralobar pulmonary sequestration with A-V fistula. The patient was 8 years old male and chief complaints are mild fever and exertional dyspnea. Aortogram revealed an aberrant artery originated from thoracic aorta just above the diaphragm and its vessel directly communicated pulmonary vein in sequestrated segment. At time of operation, sequestrated lobe measuring 6x5x5cm, well demarcated at the lower lobe was noted. Aberrant, measuring 1.0cm in diameter and 1cm in length and directly connected pulmonary vein. After division and ligation of the aberrant artery, only excision of sequestrated lobe was performed and complication is not during postoperative course.

Fourteen Infants with congenital cardiac anomalies underwent primary surgical Intervention within the first 12 months of life. There were eight patients with ventricular septal defect, two with total anomalous pulmonary venous return [TAPVR], and the remainders with tetralogy of Fallot, transposition of great arteries [d-TGA], Taussing-Bing malformation, and coronary A-V fistula. The age of the patients ranged from 5 to 12 months, with a mean age of 9.9 months. The mean weight was 6.7 Kg [3.8 to 9.5 KS]. Congestive heart failure persisting despite intensive medical treatment was present In 8 patients [56%], and was the most common indication for operation. Early operation was necessary in 5 of these patients [35%], because of failure to thrive and recurrent pulmonary infection. In one patient with TOF, frequent hypoxic spell prompted the necessity for early operation. In cases of VSD, TAP. VR, TOF, and coronary A-V fistula, Intracardiac repair was done with conventional cardiopulmonary bypass, chemical cold cardioplegia, and topical myocardial cooling. Deep hypothermic circulatory arrest with surface induced cooling, followed by core cooling and core rewarming, was employed .for better exposure in the cases of d-TGA and Taussing-Bing malformation. The results were however, not satisfactory. The overall mortality was 28 per cent. There were no deaths in the eight patients with VSD. The one with coronary A-V fistula survived. The other 5 cases all expired either on the table or immediately after operation. The non-fatal post-operative complications included low cardiac output, respiratory insufficiency, bleeding, and temporary A-V block. The causes of death were prolonged circulatory arrest time in d-TGA, complete A-V block and low cardiac output in TOF and Taussing-Bing malformation and prolonged bypass time and Inadequate correction in TAPVR.

Benign lung tumors compose a heterogeneous group of solid growths that present variations in clinical features, depending on whether the origin is within the bronchus on lung parenchyma or from visceral pleura. Benign tumors of the lung are relatively uncommon, and series are to be found in the literature and the classification of benign tumors of the lung continues to be controversial because of disagreement concerning the origin and prognosis of many common lesions. We adopt Liebows original classification but excluded bronchial adenoma which no longer considered as benign tumor and added pulmonary A-V fistula and congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation. We analyzed 61 cases of benign tumors which were composed of 16 original Korean cases and 45 cases which were reported on journal of Thoracic & Cardiovascular Surgery. The results were. [1] Incidence; Of 61 cases, chondromatous hamartoma was 2 cases [41 %], congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation 10 cases [16.4 %], pulmonary A-V fistula 5 cases [8.1 %], sclerosing hemangioma 4 cases [6.5 %], teratoma, plasma cell granuloma & mesothelioma were 3 cases [4.9%], Castlemans disease 2 cases [3.3%], and mucous gland adenoma, paraganglioma, and leiomyoma 1 case [1.6 %]. [2] Age & Sex distribution; Male 30 cases and female 31 cases. Mean age was 31.4 years old. [3] Main symptom; was coughing, 32.8%, and no symptom, 24.6%. [4] Sixty eight percentage of chest film showed mass density, and 4 cases showed calcification, 2 cases had lobulation. [5] Size of mass was large and multiple mass was 2 cases. Endobronchial tumors were 9 cases, 14.9 %. [6] Three cases of endobronchial tumor were preoperatively diagnosed by bronchoscopy and 2 cases of pulmonary A-V fistula were diagnosed by pulmonary arteriography. [7] Seven cases, 11.5%, had associating diseases such as bronchogenic cyst, thymic cyst, Schwannoma, situs inversus, bronchiectasis and bronchogenic carcinoma. [8] Minor resection such as excision 8i: wedge resection were 15 cases, 26.2 %, and 6 cases, 75.4 %, of lobectomy were performed including 5 cases of pneumonectomy 5 cases had. [9] Postoperative complications; One case, 1.6 %, expired due to respiratory insufficiency. Two cases had re-operation due to bleeding and hemoptysis.

연구배경 : 기관지 동맥색전술은 일시적 혹은 영구적인 지혈효과를 기대할 수 있고, 지혈효과이외에도 수술이 불가능한 환자나 수술이 필요한 환자의 경우에 수술전 환자상태를 호전시키기 위한 목적으로 이응퇴고 있다. 저자들은 대량객혈환자에서 동맥색전술의 효과 및 객혈의 재발율을 알아보고 재발된 환자의 임상적, 방사선학적 특징과 임상경과 및 예후를 조사하여 동맥색전술의 유용성을 평가해보고자 하였다. 그리고 색전술후에 재출혈이 일어나는 원인과 재발을 예측할 수 있는 인자를 알아보고자 하였다. 방법 : 객혈을 주소로 입원한 환자중 1회 100cc이상, 1일 500cc이상의 대량객혈로 동맥색 전술을 시행한 47명의 환자를 대상으로 의무기록과 혈관조영술 사진을 후향적으로 조사하였다. 결과 : 1)대량객혈의 원인질환으로는 폐결핵(35예), 기관지확장증(5예), 국균종(2예), 폐암(2예) 폐동정맥기형(1예)와 원인미상(2예)이 있었다. 2) 기관지 동맥색전술의 지혈성공율은 94%였으며, 추적관찰중 객혈의 재발은 40%였다. 3) 초기 기관지 동맥조영술 소견상 색전대상이 양측성인 경우, 체측부동맥-폐동맥간단락이 있는 경우, 기관지동맥이외의 체측부동맥이 영양동맥으로 관여한 경우와 과도한 신생혈관형성이 있었던 경우 등 이들 모두에서 재출혈군과 비재출혈군 사이에서 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 4) 재색전술을 시행한 경우는 18예(13명)였다. 이들 중 14예(78%)에서 혈관의 재개통이 있었으며, 8예(44%)에서 초기에 색전하지 못하였던 혈관들의 과증식으로 인한 새로운 영양동맥의 형성에 의한 재출혈이 있었다. 5) 동맥색전술의 합병증은 발열, 흉통, 기침, 배뇨장애 등 경미한 합병증이 대부분(27예,87%)이었고, 마비성장폐색, 무기폐, 하반신마비, 비장경색 등 장기합병증이 각각 1예씩으로 13%를 차지하였다. 결론 : 기관지 동맥색전술은 대량객혈시 지혈율이 높고 심각한 합병증의 빈도가 적어 효과적이면서도 비교적 안전하게 시행할 수 있는 치료방법으로 사료된다. 대량객혈시 초기 기관지 동맥조영술 소견으로 색전술후 재발을 예측하기는 어려우며, 재출혈이 있는 경우 대부분의 원인은 이전 색전동맥의 재개통과 새로운 영양동맥의 형성이 관여함을 알 수 있었다.
