BACKGROUND: It has been recognized for many years that myocardial infarction is almost invariably associated with significant narrowing of one or more coronary arteries. However, the widespread use of selective coronary angiography has resulted in an increasing number of reports of patients with proved infarction and patent coronary arteries. The purpose of this study was to analyze whether any clinical features distinguishes patients with these findings from those having coronary arterial lesions. METHODS: The clinical association of myocardial infarction with no significant stenosis of major coronary artery on cineangiogram was analysed retrospectively. The findings on the 13 patients in this group was compared with those of myocardial infartion with significant coronary artery stenosis. RESULTS: There were no significant differences in risk factors, hemodynamic findings of cardiac catheterization and the site of infarction between both groups. However, the patients with no significant stenosis of coronary artery had fewer complications during hospitalization and lesser ST segment change during exercise test before discharge. CONCLUSION: It could be concluded that the acute myocardial infarction with no significant stenosis of coronary arteries would have the better prognosis. The mechanism of the acute myocardial infarction with no significant stenosis of coronary arteries might be studied in the aspect of the coronary artery spasm and the alternation of function of endothelial cell.

A clinical review was performed in 52 cases with the foreign body in the gastrointestinal tract who underwent the endoscopic extraction of fereign body at our hospital from June 1985 to October 1989. The results are as following. 1) The most prevalent age was under 10 years of age (21 cases, 40.4%), and male was more prevalent than female (M:F=1.6:1). 2) The most common site of foreign bodies was esophagus (35 cases, 67.3%), next stomach (15 cases, 28.9%). 3) The foreign bodies in esophagus were coins (18 cases, 51.4%), meats (7 cases, 20.0%), bones (5 cases, 14.3%), other food materials or metals (5 cases, 14.3%)in order of frequency, and those in the stomach wer bezoars (7 cases, 50.0%), coins (2 cases, 14.3%), suture materials (2 cases, 14.3%), others (baduk stone, pin, tack, cross). 4) The combined diseases with upper gastrointestinal foreign bodies were the passage disturbances (11 cases, 21.2%) due to stenosis, and schizophrenia (1 case), aleoholism (1 case). 5) Complications by foreign bodies were 8 cases (15.4%), such as eisophageal laceration or ulceration (4 cases), esophaigeal perforation (1 case), aspiration pneumonia(1 case), duodenal obstruction (2 cases). 6) Successful rate of the endoscopic extraction was 88.5%(46 in 52 cases). And 6 unsuccessful cases were 4 cases who have gastric bezoars too hard and large to extract, a case with esophageal perforation, and a case with bezoar in the third portion of duodenum.
