ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Introduction: The increasing prevalence of chronic kidney disease has increased the demand for arteriovenous fistula (AVF) care. The objective of this study was to assess the relationship between some risk factors for AVF failure (advanced age, female sex, diabetes, obesity, central venous catheter, previous fistula, and hospitalization) and having a Doppler ultrasound performed preoperatively. Methods: A prospective study was performed with 228 dialysis patients from Imperatriz, Maranhão. Half of the sample was randomly selected to receive preoperative Doppler ultrasound and the other half did not, from the period of October 2016 to September 2018. Results: There were 53 total failures corresponding to 23.2% of our sample, which is almost double that of the patients in the clinical group. Considering the failures and risk factors associated with the overall sample, there was a statistically significant association between a central venous catheter on the same side of the AVF with P = 0.04 (Odds Ratio 1.24) and obesity with P = 0.05 (Odds Ratio 1.36), which was not repeated in the Doppler ultrasound group individually. There was no statistically significant difference between the Doppler group and clinical group with respect to the amount of days of previous AVF hospitalization and failure. Conclusions: We concluded that the reduction of failures with an introduction of the Doppler was statistically significant in the overall sample, but establishing a relationship between specific risk factors and failure was only possible with two of the risk factors in the study - obesity and central venous catheter on the same side of the AVF.


RESUMO Introdução: A crescente prevalência de doença renal crônica aumentou a demanda por confecção de fístula arteriovenosa (FAV). O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar a relação entre alguns fatores de risco para falha da FAV (idade avançada, sexo feminino, diabetes, obesidade, cateter venoso central, fístula prévia e hospitalização) e a realização de ultrassonografia Doppler no pré-operatório. Métodos: Estudo prospectivo com 228 pacientes em diálise em Imperatriz, MA. Metade da amostra foi randomizada para receber ultrassonografia Doppler no pré-operatório. A outra metade dos pacientes não foi submetido a exame ultrassonográfico. O estudo incluiu pacientes atendidos no período de outubro de 2016 a setembro de 2018. Resultados: Houve 53 falhas (23,2%) em nossa amostra, quase o dobro do número dos pacientes no grupo clínico. Considerando as falhas e os fatores de risco associados à amostra geral, houve associação estatisticamente significativa entre catéter venoso central do mesmo lado da FAV (P = 0,04; Razão de Chances: 1,24) e obesidade (P = 0,05; Razão de Chances: 1,36), o que não foi reproduzido no grupo de ultrassonografia Doppler individualmente. Não houve diferença estatisticamente significativa entre o grupo Doppler e o grupo clínico em relação à quantidade de dias de internação e falha da FAV. Conclusões: A redução de falhas com a introdução do Doppler foi estatisticamente significativa na amostra geral, mas só foi possível estabelecer uma relação entre fatores de risco específicos e falha em dois dos fatores estudados, obesidade e catéter venoso central no mesmo lado da FAV.

ABSTRACT

Resumen: Introducción: El síndrome de la cimitarra consiste en una rara malformación, caracterizada por una conexión anómala parcial de una o ambas venas pulmonares derechas a la vena cava inferior, hipoplasia de pulmón derecho y circulación sistémica desde la aorta descendente. El síndrome de la cimitarra en ocasiones se asocia con otras malformaciones congénitas, entre las que se incluye la persistencia del conducto arterioso (PCA). Caso clínico: Paciente de sexo femenino de cuatro años de edad con síndrome de la cimitarra, variedad ''adulto'', asociado con PCA sintomático. Se realizó exitosamente oclusión del conducto mediante un asa arteriovenosa femoral con un dispositivo Amplatzer® PDA, sin complicaciones. Conclusiones: El manejo del síndrome de la cimitarra es complejo y amerita de un estudio hemodinámico completo para determinar el tratamiento adecuado. La hipertensión arterial pulmonar es un factor de mal pronóstico.


Abstract: Background: Scimitar syndrome consists in a rare malformation characterized by a partial abnormal connection in one or both right pulmonary veins to the inferior vena cava, right lung hypoplasia and systemic circulation from the descending aorta. Scimitar syndrome is occasionally associated to other congenital malformations, such as patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). Case report: We report a 4-year-old patient with ''adult'' variety of scimitar syndrome associated to symptomatic PDA, which was successfully occluded using retrograde guidewire-established femoral arteriovenous loop with an Amplatzer® PDA occluder, without complications. Conclusions: Scimitar syndrome is complex and requires a complete hemodynamic study for the determination of the appropriate treatment. Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a factor associated with poor prognosis.

ABSTRACT

A subgroup of patients infected with the Hantavirus develops a pulmonary syndrome (HPS) characterized by severe acute respiratory failure and myocardial depression, that has a high mortality rate. Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) could be a valuable therapeutic tool in such patients. We report a 24 years old male with HPS that was successfully managed when an arterio-venous shunt was added to a conventional veno-arterial ECLS technique. Precise criteria have been developed to predict which patients should be considered for this treatment.

ABSTRACT

Sutures may cause endothelial trauma and occlusion. The vascular clip system (VCS) clip applier may minimize endothelial injury. Fourteen carotid arteries of nine adult rabbits were transected and re-anastomosed with either #7-0 polypropylene (Group I, n=8) or VCS clips (Group II, n=6). The animals were sacrificed at 1, 3, 8, 14, and 30 days postoperatively. The operation time and bleeding amount were checked for each anastomosis. Carotid angiograms, photography, H&E staining and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were performed. Fibrin and thrombus, inflammatory cell infiltration, endothelial disruption, luminal distortion, fibrosis, and wall thickening were compared. The luminal diameter was greater in group II. There were minimal differences in thrombosis, wall thickening and fibrosis between the two groups. However, fibrin, inflammatory cell infiltration, multinucleated giant cell formation, endothelial disruption, and luminal distortion were greater in group I. On SEM, group I showed trans-mural penetration. In contrast, group II showed suture margin eversion and no transmural penetration. Stenosis was greater in group I than in group II on carotid angiogram. The operation time was shorter in group II than in group I, i.e. 5+/-1.4 min vs. 11+/-3.8 min, respectively. The current data showed similar or superior results with VCS clips in comparison to conventional suturing with polypropylene.

ABSTRACT

La evaluación del paciente para la confección del acceso vascular se debe iniciar en el período de IRC, con la antelación suficiente para permitir la reacción del acceso vascular de elección como es la FAV nativa, y para permitir que ésta madure en forma correcta. Hay que tener en cuenta la importancia que tiene el interrogatorio para recabar los antecedentes del paciente y sistematizar la evaluación clínica para no pasar por alto ningún paso de la misma. Se puede obtener información muy útil y detalles de suma importancia en sólo "usar la punta de los dedos" y "escuchar todo lo que el acceso vascular del paciente nos puede decir". Se sugiere sistematizar de la siguiente forma el exámen físico para la confección del acceso vascular: 1)Examinar el sistema arterial del brazo no dominante (chequear los pulsos, realizar el Test de Allen. Si se encuentra alguna alteración, examinar el brazo dominante. 2)Comparar las presiones en ambos brazos. Si se encuentran anormalidades, chequear el brazo dominante. 3)Examinar el sistema venoso evaluando la anatomía venosa del brazo y del antebrazo. 4)Usar torniquete o lazo para ponerlas en evidencia. Si no es satisfactoria examinar el brazo dominante o evaluar con Doppler. 5)Enviar al paciente a realizarse una fístula nativa.

ABSTRACT

La hemodiálisis crónica en pediatría comenzó a ser empleada en la década de los años de 1970 y en Chile en la siguiente. Desde entonces cada vez más pacientes con insuficiencia renal terminal utilizan este procedimiento de sustitución. En este artículo se revisan los fundamentos fisiopatológicos básicos de la hemodiálisis y su aplicación en forma de sugerencias y algunos aspectos técnicos del procedimiento, sin pretender una descripción exhaustiva de las técnicas y equipamientos actuales utilizados en el procedimiento

ABSTRACT

Se realizaron 536 anastomosis mecánicas, en distintos niveles del aparato digestivo. Los instrumentos de sutura utilizados fueron los conocidos con las siglas: TA, GIA y EEA. Las 404 anastomosis circulares colónicas y rectales se discriminan en 85 ileotransversas, 4 ileosigmoideas, 10 ileorrectales, 42 colocolónicas y 263 colorrectales. El ileo posoperatorio se resolvió en el 88 % de los casos en las primeras 96 horas. Se hicieron presentes 7 fístulas latentes, 5 fístulas piostercoráceas 9 peritonitis, 4 hemorragias y 3 estrecheces, en todas de ellas se había afectuado reparación manual y 7 recidivas. La mortalidad por dehiscencia de peritonitis, inherente al método, fue del 1,23 %. La facilidad que otorga el EEA para realizar las anastomosis con la porción baja del recto, no debe hacer variar los principios oncológicos que rigen la táctica quirúrgica en los cánceres de esta localización. Se concluye que el empleo de estos instrumentos incorporados a la práctica diaria constituyen un notable progreso en el campo de la cirugía digestiva
