肺塞栓症は,我国においては比較的まれな疾患とされていたが,近年の生活様式の変化や診断技術の向上からかその頻度は増加傾向にある1)。一般に急性肺塞栓症に対してはヘパリン等による抗凝固療法や,urokinaseなどによる血栓溶解療法により,大きな治療効果が期待できるが,肺塞栓の反復性再発による慢性反復性肺塞栓症は治療抵抗性であり,肺高血圧の合併による右心不全や呼吸不全のため,その予後はきわめて不良である2〜4)。
今回我々は,約4年間にわたり肺塞栓症を繰り返し,肺高血圧,右心不全を呈した慢性反復性肺塞栓症例に対して,肺動脈血栓別除術を施行し,自覚症状,他覚所見ともに著明な改善が認められたので報告する。
A successfully operated case of recurrent pulmonary thromboembolism with disabling chronic cor pulmonale was reported. A 39-year-old man with dyspnea and chest pain on exertion for four years was admitted to our hospital. A marked jugular vein distension, a prominent P2, and a Grade 3/6, soft holosystlic tricuspid regurgi-tant murmur were noted. The liver was palpated 4. 5cm below the right costal margin. Chest X-ray film showed mild cardiomegaly and the lung vascularity was decre-ased in the right lung. ECG demonstrated abnormal Q waves in III, and aVF, and ST segments were depressed in V2~4, and T waves were inverted in leads II, III, aVF, and V1~6. A perfusion lung scan revealed that the blood How to the right middle and lower lung was totally absent, and several areas of perfusion defects were also observed in the left lung. Right-sided cardiac catheterization revealed that the PA pressure was 75/15 mean 57) mmHg, and the CO was 2.6L min. Pul-monary arteriogram demonstrated complete occlusion of the right middle and lower lobe arteries and partial occlusion of the left pulmonary arteries. Right pulmon-nary arteries distal to the occluded segments were found to be patent and filled by collaterals from the right coronary artery and bronchial artery. Pulmonary embo-lectomy was performed. Large, organized, adherent thrombi were found and removed from the right main PA as well as from middle and lower lobe branches.After operation, his exercise capacity markedly improved with significant fall in the PA pressure. Post operative pulmonary angiogram confirmed the re-establishment of the blood flow in the right lung.
This case indicates that there exist some cases of recurrent pulmonary thromboembolism in whom surgi-cal operation can dramatically improve their conditions.
