ABSTRACT

Resumen Introducción Las fístulas aorto-entéricas (FAE) son una causa infrecuente de hemorragia digestiva. El pronóstico, generalmente ominoso, depende de una alta sospecha clínica y diagnóstico oportuno. Caso clínico Reportamos el caso de una mujer de 66 años intervenida por un aneurisma sacular aórtico abdominal (AAA) yuxtarrenal, con rotura contenida, fistulizado al duodeno. Presentó una hemorragia digestiva en el preoperatorio; sin embargo, el diagnóstico de la fístula se hizo en el intraoperatorio. La paciente fue sometida a reparación quirúrgica urgente con instalación de una prótesis aórtica bifemoral y resección duodenal. En el postoperatorio inmediato presentó una trombosis parcial de las ramas de la prótesis aórtica e isquemia de extremidades, siendo reintervenida exitosamente. Discusión La FAE es una causa potencialmente fatal de hemorragia digestiva. El diagnóstico continúa siendo un desafío debido a su presentación inespecífica y siempre debiese ser considerado frente a una hemorragia digestiva sin causa aparente. Existen varias opciones para el enfrentamiento quirúrgico que deben ser analizadas caso a caso, sin retrasar la reparación de la fístula. Es preferible la resección duodenal ante la simple duodenorrafia.


Introduction Aorto-enteric fistulae (AEF) are a rare cause of gastrointestinal bleeding. The prognosis tends to be ominous, depending greatly in a high level of clinical suspicion and prompt diagnosis. Clinical case We report a case of a 66-year-old female with a saccular juxta-renal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), with a contained rupture. The patient was urgently submitted to surgical repair using an bifemoral aortic prosthesis. A duodenal partial resection was performed. During the immediate postoperative time she presented partial thrombosis of prosthesis and ischemia of lower extremities so she was reoperated successfully. Discussion AEF is a potentially fatal cause of gastrointestinal bleeding. Diagnosis is still troublesome due to its vague presentation and it should always be considered when facing gastrointestinal haemorrhage with no apparent cause. There are several surgical approaches that should be pondered case to case without delaying the repair of the defect.

ABSTRACT

Background: Heart autotrasplantation is an exceptional surgical technique used in the treatment of uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmias and primary unresectable cardiac tumors. We report a 28-year-old male with a rhabdomyosarcoma of the left ventricle, localized in the lateral and posterior wall, which involved the mitral valve and circumflex artery. After a complete study ruling out dissemination of the tumor, the patient was operated. Surgical exploration determined the unresectabilility of the tumor with the heart in situ. Therefore, the heart was explanted, preserving the right atrium and coronary sinus for re-implantation. Fifty percent of the mitral valve and the circumflex artery from its origin, were resected due to tumor infiltration. The heart was reconstructed with bovine pericardium and a mechanical valve was implanted in the mitral position. Afterward, the heart was implanted again following the same sequence as in bicaval transplantation, followed by a double bypass grafting to the distal circumflex territory. The patient had no significant complications and after nine months of follow up, there was no evidence of local recurrence. In the fourth postoperative month, a subcutaneous mass in the left thigh that was considered a metastasis without histological confirmation appeared. The lesion disappeared with radio and chemotherapy.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCCIÓN: Flegmasía Cerúlea Dolens es una variante de la trombosis venosa profunda. La presentación clínica incluye edema, dolor y cianosis del miembro comprometido. Son múltiples los factores gatillantes, dentro de los cuales está el uso de anticoncepción oral y patología maligna, entre otros. La obstrucción severa del sistema iliofemoral determina un aumento de la presión de los compartimentos de la extremidad, que finalmente compromete la circulación arterial. La gravedad del cuadro radica en la posibilidad de pérdida de la extremidad e incluso la muerte. PRESENTACIÓN DEL CASO: Paciente mujer de 29 años. Consulta en servicio de urgencia del Hospital Parroquial de San Bernardo por cuadro de 30 minutos de evolución caracterizado por dolor, aumento de volumen y coloración violácea del miembro inferior izquierdo. Al ingreso se constata impotencia funcional, pulsos distales disminuidos y saturación de 70 por ciento en dicha extremidad. Se inicia anticoagulación endovenosa y se realiza ecotomografía Doppler que muestra signos sugerentes de trombosis venosa. Se realiza cirugía de urgencia. Evoluciona con disminución de la sintomatología. Es dada de alta en buenas condiciones con terapia anticoagulante oral. DISCUSIÓN: Frente a la sospecha clínica de flegmasía cerúlea dolens, resulta esencial el diagnóstico y tratamiento precoz, con el objetivo de salvar la extremidad y vida del paciente. Cabe destacar la importancia de exámenes complementarios como el uso de la ultrasonografía. El tratamiento debe ser agresivo, aunque aún la terapia de elección es motivo de controversia.


INTRODUCTION: Phlegmasia cerulean dolens is a variant of deep vein thrombosis. The clinical presentation includes edema, pain and cyanosis of the member involved. There are many triggering factors which includes oral contraceptive use and malignancy, among others. Severe obstruction of the iliofemoral system leads to an increase of pressure of the limb’s compartments that ultimately compromises the arterial circulation. Severity lies in the possibility of limb loss and even death. CASE REPORT: Female patient, 29 years old. Patient asks in emergency room of Hospital Parroquial de San Bernardo because of limb’s pain, swelling and purplish coloration, with 30 minutes of evolution. At the ingress it is found functional impotence, diminished distal pulses and saturation of 70 percent on the limb. Intravenous anticoagulation is initiated and Doppler ultrasonography is performed, showing suggestive signs of venous thrombosis. Emergency surgery is done, evolving with a decrease of symptoms. The patient was discharged in good conditions with oral anticoagulation therapy. DISCUSSION: When phlegmasia cerulean dolens is suspected, it is essential an early diagnosis and treatment, in order to save patient’s limb and life. We must emphasize the importance of complementary tests such as ultrasound. Treatment must be aggressive, although the therapy of choice is controversial.

ABSTRACT

Background: Tipe A aortic dissection involves the ascending aorta and has high mortality rates without surgical treatment. Aim: To report the results of surgical treatment of type A aortic dissection. Material and Methods: Retrospective review of medical records of 100 patients aged 17 to 78 years (73 percent males) operated between January 2000 and August 2008, for type A aortic dissection. Follow up was performed with telephone interviews and review of national death records. Results: Eighty three percent of patients had an acute dissection. Operative mortality was 27 and 20 percent for patients with acute and chronic dissection, respectively. Mortality was 50 percent among patients aged 70 years or more, compared with 21 percent among their younger counterparts, The most common complication was bleeding that required a new surgical procedure in 18 percent of patients. Actuarial survival was 70 percent at five years. Cardiovascular problems caused the death of two of the nine patients that died during follow up. Conclusions: Surgical mortality among patients with type A aortic dissection was higher among patients with acute episodes and those aged 70 years or more.

ABSTRACT

Se analiza la evolución clínica de 37 pacientes adultos con un traumatismo cerrado del hígado y de bazo que fueron manejados en forma no-operatoria (1991-2000). Los pacientes 81 por ciento hombres, edad promedio 34 años, fueron admitidos en urgencia hemodinámicamente estables y se les practicó una Tomografía Axial del abdomen. Se diagnosticaron 22 traumatismos del hígado y 15 del bazo. Sobre el 90 por ciento tenía lesiones asociadas (Indice de Gravedad Lesional 20,5 y 21,5 respectivamente). Más de la mitad de las lesiones de ambos órganos era mayor y entre el 72 por ciento y el 86 por ciento se acompañaron de hemoperitoneo. El 18 por ciento de los pacientes con lesión hepática requirió transfusión (0,45 U/paciente) y el 20 por ciento de los con lesión de bazo fueron transfundidos (0,40 U/paciente). Sólo un paciente con lesión hepática y dos con lesión esplénica debieron ser operados, lo que significa un éxito de la conducta no operatoria del 95,5 por ciento y 86.6 por ciento respectivamente. No hubo mortalidad ni complicaciones tardías. Se concluye que el manejo no-operatorio del trauma de hígado o bazo es una alternativa segura de tratamiento en casos seleccionados
