ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to describe the experience of treatment of early prosthetic valve endocarditis at a heart center. DESIGN AND SETTING: Retrospective single-center study on data collected from electronic medical records covering the period from January 2009 to December 2015. METHODS: Over the study period, 1,557 consecutive valve operations were performed on adult patients. The study population comprised 32 patients (2%) who were diagnosed with prosthetic valve endocarditis within 12 months after the index surgery. Medical records were retrieved from electronic hospital records, retrospectively. Descriptive clinical, echocardiographic, microbiological and treatment-type data were used. Risk factors for early mortality were studied through univariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS: The main clinical manifestation of infective endocarditis was fever, and this was present in all patients. Most of the prostheses were affected in the aortic position (40.6% of cases). The most commonly cultured microorganisms were Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus aureus. Twenty-six patients (81.3%) underwent surgical treatment and six (18.7%) underwent exclusive clinical treatment. The prevalence of postoperative complications was 31.3% and hospital mortality occurred in seven cases (21.9%). The mortality rate was 50% among the patients who underwent medical treatment and 15.4% among those who underwent surgery. There were no independent risk factors for mortality. CONCLUSION: Prosthetic valve endocarditis is an infrequent complication of valve replacement. Surgical treatment has mortality rates compatible with the severity of patients' conditions. Surgical indication should not be delayed when clinical treatment has been ineffective

ABSTRACT

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: O relato de caso descreve uma situação rara e potencialmente fatal associada à administração de anestesia. Nosso objetivo foi discutir as causas de parada cardíaca súbita no período perioperatório em pacientes aparentemente saudáveis e a fisiopatologia das anomalias de origem das artérias coronárias como uma causa de parada cardíaca súbita. RELATO DE CASO: Uma mulher de 44 anos, sem sintomas prévios de doença coronariana ou arritmias, apresenta parada cardíaca súbita durante a instalação de anestesia geral em duas situações distintas. No primeiro episódio, a paciente apresentava-se com quadro de abdômen agudo, porém hemodinamicamente estável. Após a indução anestésica, ocorreu bradicardia e hipotensão arterial, refratárias à reposição de volume e vasopressores. O quadro evoluiu para assistolia. A paciente foi reanimada com sucesso e recebeu alta em boas condições. No segundo episódio, um ano após o primeiro, a paciente se encontrava em boas condições clínicas para feitura de uma cirurgia eletiva. Após a indução anestésica, a paciente desenvolveu taquicardia ventricular seguida por assistolia, que foi prontamente revertida. Após extensa investigação, foi identificada uma origem anômala da artéria coronária esquerda. CONCLUSÕES: Nosso relato é ilustrativo ao enfatizar que uma investigação diagnóstica minuciosa deve ser feita nos casos de parada cardíaca súbita perioperatória, mesmo em pacientes aparentemente saudáveis.


BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: This case report describes a rare and potentially fatal condition associated with anesthesia administration. Our aim was to discuss the causes of sudden cardiac arrest during the perioperative period in apparently healthy patients and the pathophysiology of anomalous origin of the coronary arteries as a cause of sudden cardiac arrest. CASE REPORT: Female patient, 44 years old, with no previous symptoms of heart disease or arrhythmias, had a sudden cardiac arrest during general anesthesia in two different situations. In the first episode, the patient presented signs of acute abdomen, but remained hemodynamically stable. Following induction of anesthesia, the patient exhibited bradycardia and hypotension refractory to volume replacement and vasopressors. The condition progressed to asystole. The patient was successfully resuscitated and discharged from the hospital in good condition. In the second episode, one year after the first, the patient was in good clinical condition to undergo an elective surgery. After induction of anesthesia, the patient developed ventricular tachycardia followed by asystole, which was promptly reversed. After extensive investigation, an anomalous origin of the left coronary artery was identified. CONCLUSIONS: Our report is illustrative as it emphasizes that a thorough diagnostic investigation should be done in cases of sudden cardiac arrest during the perioperative period, even in patients that appear to be healthy.
