Total hip replacement is an available rnethod of treatment for various causes of disabled hips in adults, especially in painful stiff hips. In many cases, malposition has led to degenrative changes in the opposite hip, the lumbar spine or knee, often with severe loss of function due to pain. Between March, 1979 and February, 1983, twenty hips in sixteen patients with painful and deformed hips were operated at Kosin Medical College, and we obtained relif of pain and increase of range of motion of the hip joints. Furthermore we found relife of adjacent joint pain in several cases, and in addition correction of inequality of leg lenght.

Angiographic procedures and their applications maybe divided into following roups: I) procedures used to increased blood folw, as the angioplasty, II) procedures used to decreased blood flow, as the embolization and local infusion of vasoconstrictors and III) miscellaneous procedures. Transcatheter vessel occlusion was first performed in 1930 by Brook to occlude the carotid cavernous fistula by embolization of the surgically exposed carotid artery with muscle marked with a sliver clip injected directly into the internal carotid artery. Autologous clot, first used by Doppman(1968) to occlude a spinal arteriovenous malformation was quickly adopted use in traumatic hemorrhage with pelvic fracture, nonoperable aneurysm, gastrointerstinal hemorrhage and diagnosis and treatment of the tumors. In Kores, there have been several reports of transcatheter vessel occlusion after Han(1978) made a first report in the radiology part. In orthopedics part of Korea, Kim(1981) and Yoo(1982) reported the cases of surgical treatments of arteriovenous malformation without embolization. Also, in Korea, there has been no report of transcather embolizations of vascular diseases of the extremities, such as huge arterial aneurysm and dilated varicose vein. We reported the 4 cases who were treated at the Chonbuk National University Hospital between January 1987 and April 1988. Transcatheter vessel occlusion have such advantages : 1. The vascular status of the mass can be recognized prior to operation, such as biopsy. 2. Since the bleeding can be reduce, the operation can be performed easily. 3. Nonoperable huge arterial aneurysm could sometimes be treated only with transcatheter vessel occlusion adequately. 4. It can make a differential diagnosis with other vascular anomaly easy.

From January to December 1984, 191 patients with associated ventricular septal defect(VSD) were studied in the cardiac cathetherization laboratory. Among theses 191 cases, 58 cases(30.4%) of subpulmonic VSD were identified by angiocardiography. Among the 59 cases of subpulmonic VSD, 12 cases(20.6%) were complicated with aortic infficiency(AI). The relative frequency of subpulmonic VSD increased with the increase of age and the frequency of complication of AI with the subpulmonic VSD also increased with the increase of age. The amount of left to right shunt in the patients with subpulmonic VSD and AI was small and Qp/Qs ratio was less than 2.0 in all of the 12 cases. Among the 12 patients 4 cases had a pressure gradient greater than 20 mmHg across the infundibular region of the right ventricle.
