1 대한혈관외과학회지 : 제 25 권제 2 호 Vol. 25, No. 2, November 2009 최신 VNUS ClosureFAST System 을이용한정맥내고주파열제거술과평면고위결찰술을병행한하지정맥류의조기결과 대구보훈병원흉부외과 1, 안동병원흉부외과 2 공준혁 1 ㆍ허진 2 The Early Results of Endovenous Radiofrequency Ablation Combined with Flush High Ligation for Patients with Varicose Veins Joon Hyuk Kong, M.D. 1 and Jin Hur, M.D. 2 Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Daegu Veterans Hospital 1, Daegu, and Andong Hospital 2, Andong, Korea Purpose: Radiofrequency ablation of the great saphenous vein has proven efficacy with an excellent side effect profile, but it has the disadvantage of a lengthy pullback procedure. A new generation catheter (ClosureFast) was recently introduced to address the aforementioned procedural speed and the ease of use issues with using the principles of the segmental ablation technique. This study is done to report the early results after radiofrequency ablation with high ligation and using the ClosureFast catheter. Methods: One hundred and nineteen limbs in 85 patients with great saphenous vein incompetence were treated between November, 2007 and June, 2009 with radiofrequency ablation with high ligation, and usually with adjunctive stab-avulsion phlebectomies. The patients were examined preoperatively and at 1 to 2 months postoperatively by using duplex sonography to determine the treatment s efficacy, as well as the adverse sequalae. Results: The patients had an average age of 61.3±10.1 years (range, 32 to 80 years), and 22 (25.9%) were women. The pretreatment vein diameter measured in the supine position ranged from 5.0 to 20.0 mm (median, 8.5 mm). The total average operation time of the radiofrequency ablation with high ligation, except when performing phlebectomies, was 18.5±9.5 minutes. Serious complications such as deep vein thrombosis or neural injury were not observed. Paresthesia occurred in 7 limbs (5.8%). A thermal skin injury and thrombophlebitis were presented in one limb each, respectively, at the beginning period. The occlusion rate was 98.9% in 98 limbs on the follow-up at 1 to 2 months. Conclusion: Radiofrequency ablation with high ligation is feasible, safe and effective. However, long-term follow-up is needed in the future.

2 Joon Hyuk Kong and Jin Hur:Radiofrequency Ablation Combined with Flush High Ligation 147 방식으로알려져왔다. 그리고, 최근에는최소침습적치료 (minimal invasive treatment) 방법에대한환자의요구가증가되고있어혈관내레이저시술 (endovenous laser), 고주파열제거술 (radiofrequency ablation), 광투시전동형정맥제거술 (tranilluminated powered phlebectomy, TIPP) 등이시행되고있다 (1-3). 대복재정맥의치료에있어기존의정맥내고주파열제거술 (endovenous radiofrequency ablation) 은회복이빠르고, 술후통증이적은것으로알려져있었으나긴시술시간이단점이었다. 저자는최근개발된 2세대 ClosureFAST 카테터와 RFGPlus TM Generator로구성된 Closure system (VNUS Medical Technologies, San Jose, CA, USA) 을이용한고주파열제거술과평면고위결찰술 (flush high ligation) 로하지정맥류수술을시행하여그조기결과를보고하는바이다. 방법 1) 대상및술전진단 2007년 11월부터 2009년 6월까지대복재정맥역류로인한하지정맥류환자 119예 (85명) 을대상으로서혜부최소절개를이용한고위결찰술과고주파열제거술을시행하였다. 수술전초음파를실시하여복재-대퇴정맥접합부와대복재정맥의역류를진단하고, 심부정맥혈전증등의금기사항이없는경우에시행하였다. 이전대복재정맥의치료병력이있거나소복재정맥역류가더심한경우는연구대상에서제외하였고술전환자의동반질환, 증상여부및대복재정맥의최대직경을조사하였다. 2) 수술방법기립상태에서충분히정맥류가노출되도록하고사진을촬영후정맥류부위에유성펜으로표시하였다. 마취는척추마취를기본으로하였다. 수술중환자의의식이깨어있는상태이므로환자와충분한대화를나누어긴장을풀어주기위해배려하였으며, 필요시에는 midazolam 등의정맥마취제도주입하였다. 앙아위에서서혜부에 1.5 cm 정도의횡절개를가한후복재정맥이대퇴정맥으로유입되는복재-대퇴정맥접합부를확인하고, 주위조직손상을최소화하며주의깊게박리하여복재정맥으로유입되는모든분지들을결찰및분리하였다. 대복재정맥발거술 (stripping) 을시행시에는발거술시행후발생하는대퇴부내측의혈종을방지하기위해복재- 대퇴정맥접합부의 5 10 cm 하방에서분지하는내측및외측부복재정맥을결찰하는경우도있다. 하지만, 저자는대퇴부의대복재정맥은정맥내시술을시행하므로내측및외측부복재정맥의결찰은시행하지않았다. 이후대퇴정맥의협착방지및대복재정맥결찰기부에발생할수있는혈전형성을방지하기위하여반드시평 면고위결찰술을시행하였다. 고주파열제거술을시행하기위해술중접근성이용이한발목부근처대복재정맥를육안으로확인하고경피적접근으로유도초를삽입하였다. 18 게이지혈관주사침으로정맥접근부위에천자하고 0.035인치유도와이어를삽입후 18 게이지혈관주사침을제거하고가이드와이어에 7 Fr 유도초를삽입하였다. 발목부에서서혜부까지카테터를삽입하여야하므로, 60 cm (CF7-7-60) 과 100 cm (CF ) 길이의 ClosureFAST catheter 중 100 cm (CF ) 길이를사용하였다. 7 Fr 유도초 (introducer) 내 7 Fr 고주파카테터 (ClosureFAST catheter) 를삽입하여카테터의끝을손으로촉진하면서, 카테터가대복재정맥의주행방향대로이동하는지확인하였다. 카테터끝이서혜부의결찰된대복재정맥부위에닿으면더이상밀어넣지않았다. 대복재정맥주위로무릎상방부위까지국소침윤마취법 (tumescent fluid infiltration) 을시행하였다. 0.1% 국소침윤마취용액 (tumescent local anesthesia, TLA) 을정맥 1 cm 당약 10 cc사용하였는데, 국소침윤마취법은혈관주변마취뿐만아니라신경이나동맥등혈관주변조직을보호하는열흡수원의작용과정맥혈관을압박하는작용도있어안전하고효율적으로고주파에너지의혈관전달을가능하게한다. 적절한정맥압박을위해부종유도액 (tumescent fluid), Trendelenburg 자세및외부압박을이용하였다. 외부압박은손가락이나손바닥을이용한수기압박을시행하였고, 초음파유도시에는초음파소식자를이용하여압박할수있다. 카테터를대복재정맥내최상부에거치시키고고주파열제거술을실시하였다. 20초동안 120 o C의온도를발생시키면, 이전도열로정맥에는 o C의온도가가해진다. 이후카테터를 6.5 cm 간격으로하방으로후퇴시켜 0.5 cm의중복구역 (overlap zone) 을형성한다. 분절제거술 (segmental ablation) 은시술속도를향상시켜 45 cm 정맥인경우 3 5분정도의시간이소비되었다. 무릎이하부위의정맥류는다발성정맥류제거술을시행하였다. 수술후거즈를댄후압박드레싱을하고수술을마쳤다. 대부분수술다음날붕대를제거하고정맥류치료용압박스타킹을착용시켰다. 3) 술후평가수술시동반수술여부, 술후합병증여부그리고술후 1 2개월에대복재정맥의재관류여부를초음파로확인하여치료성공률을알아보았다. 결과 1) 대상환자의임상적특성하지정맥류환자 85명을대상으로 119예에서서혜부

5 150 대한혈관외과학회지 : 제 25 권제 2 호 2009 표준기법에서는복재-대퇴정맥접합부를고주파열제거술로치료한다. 초음파유도하에카테터팁의위치를상복부정맥의직하방이나복재-대퇴정맥접합부에서 cm 떨어진곳에위치시키고, 초음파유도하복재-대퇴정맥주위에부종유도액 (tumescent solution) 을주입하여고주파열제거술을 2회시행한다. 하지만, 저자는정맥혈역류의완벽한제거를위해복재-대퇴정맥접합부의고위결찰술과주위분지결찰및분리를시행하였다. 복재 -대퇴퇴정맥접합부위에서분지되는모든분지를결찰및분리한후, 술후대퇴정맥협착방지및대복재정맥결찰기부에발생할수있는혈전형성을방지하기위하여반드시평면고위결찰술을시행하는것을원칙으로치료하였다. 복재-대퇴정맥접합부와대복재정맥의역류로발생한하지정맥류의치료를위해서는역류된정맥의최상부를우선치료하여야하며, 이와더불어기능부전을보이는정맥분절을제거하는것이수술적치료의표준방식으로알려져왔다. 그러나근래고위결찰술후발생하는신생혈관에의한하지정맥류의재발이거론되면서과연하지정맥류의치료로고식적인고위결찰술이반드시필요한가에대한논란이있어왔다 (5). 하지만, 아직이문제는완전히해결되지못하고있으며장기적으로면밀한연구가필요한실정이다. 저자의지난 3년간경험에서는아직신생혈관에의한서혜부정맥류의의미있는재발을관찰할수없었다. 재발은임상적재발과혈류역학적재발로구분할수있으며, 전자는일반적으로표현하는재발이며후자는복재-대퇴정맥접합부의역류가관찰되는경우이다 (6). 임상적인재발률은첫수술시의완벽함과검사자의주관등에의해영향을받을수있으며, 혈류역학적재발률은다소객관적인자료로이에대해서는많은보고가있다 (7-12). Fisher 등 (13) 은고위결찰술과주위분지결찰및분리를시행하고평균 34년추적관찰한 125 다리에서접합부및주위접합부연결을 64% 에서발견하였다고한다. 고주파열제거술개발초기에는대복재정맥의직경이비교적크지않은경우에시술을하였으나 (1), 최근에는시술경험이쌓이면서효과적인혈관의눌림과카테터정맥벽접촉이가능하여대복재정맥의직경이 mm까지에도시행하고있다 (14,15). 하지만고위결찰술을동시에시행시는이보다직경이큰대복재정맥인경우에서도적용될수있다는장점이있다. 표준기법에서는정맥접근시초음파유도하무릎상방 ( 대퇴부하방 ) 이나무릎하방의대복재정맥에카테터를삽입하나, 저자는술중접근성이용이한발목부근처대복재정맥에육안으로카테터를삽입하였다. 7 Fr 유도초를삽입하므로정맥접근부위외부상처가작지는않아표준기법시술시술후에는환자가반바지착 용시상처부위가두드러질수있다. 하지만, 발목부근처에정맥접근을하면, 술후환자가양말착용만으로상처부위가쉽게가려질수있는장점이있다. 그리고대퇴부하방의대복재정맥까지고주파열제거술을시행하려면, 표준기법에서는대상대복재정맥내유도초가거치되어있을경우유도초의후퇴가필요하나변형기법에서는대퇴부하방에유도초가없으므로용이하게시행할수있는장점도있다. 결 ClosureFAST 카테터와 RFGPlus TM Generator로구성된 Closure system을이용한고주파열제거술과평면고위결찰술은대복재정맥정맥류를안전하고효과적으로치료하는방법으로, 본연구는단기간의연구결과로향후더큰모집단을대상으로장기적인추적관찰이필요하며, 궁극적으로완전하고지속적인대복재정맥폐쇄를위한연구에도움이되었으면한다. 론 REFERENCES 1) Puggioni A, Kalra M, Carmo M, Mozes G, Gloviczki P.
