ABSTRACT

Mechanical assist ventricular devices have been used in the treatment of low cardiac output syndrome. These devices can be generically grouped in pulsatile and nonpulsatile. There is a great controversy about the advantages and disadvantages of each one of these groups. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the influence of the centrifugal pump used for left ventricular assistance on the coronary and carotid flow in dogs with normal heart. The efficacy of the simultaneous use of an intraaortic balloon pump to compensate the possible deleterious effects of the circulatory assistance with continuous flow was analysed. Fifteen dogs with a mean weight of 16.3 kg were studied. Hemodynamic evaluation included serial measurements of pressures of the right atrium, pulmonary capillary wedge, pulmonary artery, systemic arterial circulation and heart rate. Cardiac output was measured and the following derived hemodynamic parameters were calculated: cardiac index, systolic index, systemic vascular resistance and pulmonary vascular resistance. Carotid and coronary blood flow were obtained by electromagnetic tranducers. The parameters were analysed in four situations: S1. Standard situation; S2. Test situation - the centrifugal pump as a left ventricular assist device; S3. Test situation - the centrifugal pump associated with intraaortic balloon pump; S4. Final situation, where the intraaortic balloon is turned off to confirm its influence. The hemodynamic evaluation didn't show significant statistic changes in the analysed parameters in the four situations. In relation to the coronary flow, however, the use of circulatory isolated assistence with centrifugal pump (S2 and S4) displayed a reduction (24.6 per cent ñ 6.1) in relation to the standard situation - S1 as much as to the associated intraaortic balloon - S3 (p = 0.0079); S1 and S3 showed similar coronary flow. In relation to the carotid flow, the profile analysis suggests the existence of a difference between the multiple situations, but it is not significant (p = 0.0582)...

ABSTRACT

Das 44 necropsias realizadas em pacientes submetidos a cirurgia valvar no ano de l990 no InCór, foram encontradas como causas clínicas de óbito nos pacientes mitrais: coagulopatia e sangramento em 11 casos; baixo débito em 7; choque cardiogênico em 5; choque séptico em 3; falência de múltiplos órgaos em 3; síndrome da angústia respiratória do adulto (S.A.R.A.) em 2; arritmia ventricular severa em 2; tromboembolismo pulmonar (T. E. P.) em 1. Nos pacientes aórtcos: coagulopatia e sangramento em 5; choque cardiogênico em 2; septicemia em 3; aneurisma micótico roto em 1; acidente vascular cerebral hemorrágico (A.V.C.H.) em 1; arritmia venticular em 1. Nos pacientes mitro-aórticos: coagulopatia e sangramento em 2; T.E.P. em 2; septicemia em 1; arritmia ventricular severa em 1; S.A.R.A. em 1. Encontramos como causas anatomopatológicas de óbito nos pacientes mitrais: choque hemorrágico em 13; falência de múltiplos órgaos em 4; choque séptico em 3; broncopneumonia (B.C.P.) em 4; infarto agudo do miocárdio (I.A.M.) em 3; choque cardiogênico em 3; hemorragia cerebral em 1; S.A.R.A. em 1. Nos pacientes aórticos: endocardite em 3; choque hemorrágico em 2; hemorragia cerebral em 2; I.A.M. em 1; choque cardiogênico em 1; septicemia em 1; S.A.R.A. em 1; dissecçao aguda de aorta com coagulopatia em 1. Nos pacientes mitro-aórticos: falência de múltiplos órgaos em 2; T.E.P. em 2; S.A.R.A. em 1; choque hemorrágico em 1; endocardite em 1. Concluímos haver correlaçao entre diagnóstico clínico e anatomopatológico em 36 pacientes, correspondendo a 82 por cento dos casos, sendo a principal causa de óbito o choque hemorrágico. Uma observaçao importante: ll (25 por cento) pacientes apresentavam alguma forma de hepatopatia crônica, nao diagnosticada anteriormente pelo estudo clínico-laboratorial, e que alguns pacientes que evoluíram em baixo débito. Nao explicado clinicamente, tiveram como achado anatomopatológico infarto subendocárdico.
