Aberrant right subclavian arteries were experienced in two young children. This is a rare aortic arch anomaly that usually does not produce symptoms. Symtomatic patients require surgical interventions.We describe two young children who had aberrant right subclavian artery with symptoms of difficulty in swallowing and respiratory problems. Diagnosis was made by esophagography, aortography and 3-Dimension chest CT. Operation had been advocated through right thoracotomy without difficulty for ligation, division and anastomosis to the ascending aorta. Dysphagia lusoria was immediately relieved and postoperative course was uneventful. We consider that the right thoracotomy is the choice of operative approach and noninvasive diagnosis by 3-Dimension chest CT is easily made for infant with aberrant right subclavian artery.

58세 남자 환자가 좌쇄골하동맥협착이 동반된 관상동맥 질환으로 하이브리드술식을 시행받았다. 쇄골하동맥에 대한 스텐트 삽입과 좌내흉동맥의 좌전하행지 문합을 포함한 심폐 바이패스 없이 관상동맥 우회술을 시행하였다. 수술 후 시행한 관상동맥 조영술과 컴퓨터 단층촬영(CT)상에서 이식편의 개방성은 양호하였고 스텐트의 삽입부위는 적절한 것으로 보였고 개방성도 양호하였다. 술 후 8일째 퇴원하였고, 현재 6개월째 외래 경과관찰 중이다.

Central venous catheterization through a subclavian approach is indicated for some special purposes but it may cause many complications such as infection, bleeding, pneumothorax, thrombosis, air embolization, arrhythmia, myocardial perforation, and nerve injury. A case involving a mistaken central venous catheterization into the right vertebral artery through the subclavian artery is presented. A 33-year-old man who had deteriorated mentality after head injury underwent an emergency craniotomy for acute epidural hematomas on the right frontal and temporal convexities. His mentality improved rapidly, but he complained of continuous severe pain in the right posterior neck even though he had no previous symptom or past medical history of such pain. Three-dimensional cervical spine computed tomography (3D-CT) was performed first to rule out unconfirmed cervical injuries and it revealed a linear radiopaque material intrathoracically from the level of the 1st rib up to the level of C6 in the right vertebral foramen. An additional neck CT was performed, and the subclavian catheter was indwelling in the right vertebral artery through right subclavian artery. For the purpose of proper fluid infusion and central venous pressure monitoring, the subclavian vein catheterization had been performed in the operation room after general anesthesia induction before the craniotomy. Sufficient anatomical consideration and prudence is essential because inadvertent arterial cannulation at a non-compressible site is a highly risky iatrogenic complication of central venous line placement.

쇄골하 동맥류는 매우 드문 질환으로 전체 말초혈관동맥류의 약 1%로 알려져 있다. 원인은 동맥경화증이 가장 흔하며 파열, 혈전 및 색전증, 국소적 압박 등을 야기할 수 있다. 치료는 외과적 수술이 일반적이다. 저자들은 우측 쇄골하 동맥의 근위부에 발생한 동맥류를 배제법으로 수술하여 좋은 결과를 얻었기에 보고하는 바이다.

A 30-year-old male with a symptomatic aberrant right subclavian artery underwent surgical intervention on January 17, 1990. An aberrant right subclavian artery is a rare congenital anomaly, but it is the most common one of the aortic arch anomalies. This anomalous vessel usually does not produce symptoms, but occasionally symptomatic patients require surgical intervention. Although ligation and division of the aberrant right subclavian artery through left thoracotomy has been advocated by many surgeons, the ischemic symptoms of the upper extremity or the brain can occur. In the procedure described here, ligation and division of the aberrant artery and its anastomosis to the ascending aorta with Gore \ulcornerTex vascular graft was performed simultaneously through midsternotomy. With this procedure, we relieved the esophageal obstruction and established normal blood flow to the right arm. Hoarseness developed postoperatively. We consider that above symptom has been attributed to the injury of the left recurrent laryngeal nerve during dissection.

This case report concerns a young patient with an extremely rare combination of d-transposition of the great arteries (d-TGA) and anomalous origin of the right subclavian artery. In our patient, the right subclavian artery originated from the pulmonary artery, which is why he did not show reversed differential cyanosis. We conclude that the presence of an aortic arch anomaly should be considered in patients with d-TGA who do not present with reversed differential cyanosis. A further imaging work-up, including computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging, might be helpful.

빗장밑혈류빼앗김증후군은 왼쪽 근위부 빗장밑동맥이나 오른쪽 팔머리동맥에 심한 협착 혹은 폐색으로 인해 반대쪽 척추동맥으로부터 관류압이 감소된 병변쪽 빗장밑동맥으로 혈류가 역으로 유입되는 현상이 나타나게 되고, 그 결과로 척추-뇌바닥혈류부전이나 허혈성 말초동맥질환 증상이 동반되는 경우를 말한다. 빗장밑동맥을 포함한 뇌혈관 협착증에서 신경중재술을 이용한 혈류의 회복 및 방향 교정은 환자의 증상과 예후를 좋게 한다고 알려져 있다. 저자는 오른팔에 비해 왼팔 혈압이 12 mmHg 낮은 환자에서 이중초음파검사를 시행하였고, 왼쪽 척추동맥에서 빗장밑혈류빼앗김증후군의 특징적인 혈류파형이 관찰되어 혈관성형술 및 스텐트 설치술을 통해 성공적으로 치료된 증례를 보고하고자 한다. 6개월 후 추적검사에서 왼쪽 척추동맥의 혈류파형은 정상으로 회복되었고, 양팔의 혈압 차는 5 mmHg로 감소하였다.

Recently we experienced a case of Takayasu`s arteritis involving the major aortic branches. A 30 year-old female patient admitted with the complaints of dizziness, visual disturbance, headache and tingling sensation of upper extremities. Aortogram revealed nearly complete obstruction of the origin site of both common carotid arteries and right vertebral artery, and irregular luminal narrowing of the origin site of innominate artery and left subclavian artery, but opacification of right subclavian artery and left vertebral artery. Successful surgical treatment was accomplished with a bypass from the ascending aorta to the left common carotid artery using a tube graft. The left subclavian artery and right axillary artery were revascularized distal to the stenosis with tube grafts that extended from the aortic graft. Postoperative complications were atelectasis, lymph leakage and left phrenic nerve palsy. She discharged uneventually at postoperative 22 days and most of symptoms were relieved.

The case of a 40-year-old male with symptom related to a anomalous right subclavian artery [dysphagia lusorium] combined with thymoma is described. He was treated by removal of the thymoma and resection of the retroesophageal right subclavian artery with anastomosis of its distal end to the ascending aortic arch by Gore-Tex. This procedure relieved the dysphagia and provided the right arm with normal arterial circulation.

MDCT의 3D 유용성을 입증하기 위해 쇄골하 혈전증을 수반한 73세 남자 환자를 대상으로 MIP, 볼륨렌더링, MPR의 3D 영상을 획득하여 쇄골하동맥의 혈전증을 명확하게 탐지하고 위치를 확인하여 임상에서 기초자료를 제공하여 환자의 진단 및 치료에 적용하고자한다. 스캔 데이터를 3차원 CT영상인 MIP, 볼륨렌더링, curve multiplanar reformation (MPR), virtual endoscopy 영상을 획득하였다. CT검사 환자의 데이터를 3D 프로그램으로 전송한 영상에서 3D 프로그램에서 측정한 상행대동맥은 364.28 HU, 좌총경동맥 413.77 HU, 좌쇄골하동맥 15.72 HU로 낮게 산출되었다. MIP coronal 영상으로 좌측의 쇄골하동맥의 혈전으로 폐쇄를 정확하게 보여주고 있다. 볼륨렌더링 3차원 영상으로 투과도 100%, 87-1265 HU를 적용하여 쇄골하동맥과 뼈를 동시에 묘출하고 있으며, 좌측 쇄골하동맥의 폐쇄 영상을 선명하게 보여주었으며 coronal curved MPR 및 sagittal curved MPR 영상으로 혈전의 의한 쇄골하동맥의 폐쇄를 3D 영상 처리 기능을 이용하여 정확하게 묘출하고 있다. 혈전에 의한 쇄골하동맥 폐쇄 증상 환자를 MDCT로 스캔하여 3D 영상 기법을 응용하여 쇄골하동맥의 폐쇄를 확인할 수 있어 임상에서 3D 기법을 응용하여 적절하게 진단에 적용할 수 있다.
