Abstract

Background: Left main coronary artery (LMCA) angioplasty is another option in the surgical treatment for LMCA disease because of its advantages over the conventional coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Material and Method: Between July 1994 and December 1997, 15 patients underwent left main coronary angioplasty for the stenoses of LMCA. There were 8 males and 7 females with the mean age of 53.3${\pm}$8.8 years. The locations of the LMCA stenoses were proximal one-third of the LMCA in 9, middle one-third in 1, distal one-third in 3, and the whole length of the LMCA in 2 cases. Nine patients had peripheral coronary lesions in addition to the LMCA stenosis. The LMCA was approached anteriorly with or without transsection of the main pulmonary artery. The angioplasty was performed with onlay patch widening using an autologous pericardium (14 cases) or saphenous vein (1 case). Additional graftings were required in 9 cases, and both LMCA angioplasty and right coronary ostial angioplasty were done in 1 case. Result: There was no operative mortality. One case needed redo CABG due to the stenosis of the angioplasty site which developed 4 months postoperatively. Coronary angiography was performed in 8 cases one year postoperatively, and revealed good patency of the angioplasty site except for one who showed 50% stenosis at the angioplasty site. No patient complained of angina with a mean follow up of 23${\pm}$11 months. Conclusion: Surgical angioplasty of the LMCA stenosis can be performed in selected cases with safety and good mid-term results.

배경: 좌주관상동맥 협착의 외과적 치료로 일반적으로는 관상동맥 우회술이 시행되지만, 정상적인 전향적 혈행을 유지시켜준다는 장점 때문에 좌주관상동맥의 성형술이 시행되기도 한다. 대상 및 방법: 저자들은 1994년 7월부터 1997년 12월까지 15례에서 좌주관상동맥 병변에 대한 혈관성형술을 시행하였다. 남자가 8명, 여자가 7명이었으며 연령은 평균 53.3$\pm$8.8 세이었다. 수술은 심낭의 비후가 있어서 복재정맥을 이용한 1례를 제외한 14례 모두에서 자가심낭편을 이용하여 협착부위를 확장하였고, 4례에서는 시야확보를 위해 폐동맥을 절단후 시행하였다. 5례에서 좌주관상동맥 성형술을 단독 시행하였고, 9례에서 관상동맥 우회술을 병행하였고, 1례에서 좌, 우 관상동맥 개구부의 동시 성형술을 시행하였다. 결과: 수술사망은 없었고, 1례에서 술후 4개월째에 좌주관상동맥 성형부위의 유의한 협착으로 관상동맥 우회술을 다시 시행하였다. 재수술을 시행한 1례를 제외한 14례중 8례에서는 수술후 1년째에 관상동맥 조영술을 실시하였는데, 50%의 국소협착을 보인 1례를 제외한 7례에서는 우수한 개존성을 보였으며, 평균 추적 기간 23$\pm$11개월(7-43)동안 15례 모두 흉통의 재발을 보이지는 않았다. 결론: 좌주관상동맥 협착에 대한 혈관성형술은 향후 장기적인 추적관찰이 필요하나, 비교적 우수한 수술 및 중기 성적을 보였다.
