ABSTRACT

Presentamos el caso de un niño de 12 años que consultó por hemoptisis, sin otros sín- tomas asociados. Se realizó radiografía de tórax (patológica), laboratorio con aumen- to moderado de reactantes de fase aguda, PPD (negativa), esputos x 3 con bacilosco- pias negativas y tomografía de tórax con contraste i.v. que mostró imágenes de árbol en brote en todos los lóbulos y una imagen de dilatación vascular de una rama de la ar- teria pulmonar en lóbulo superior izquierdo. Se plantearon diagnósticos diferenciales: malformación vascular primaria o lesión secundaria a infección. La angiografía digital permitió confirmar el pseudoaneurisma y embolizarlo. Luego de 17 días, 2/3 cultivos de esputo fueron positivos para Mycobacterium tuberculosis. El niño realizó tratamiento antituberculoso con drogas de primera línea con evolución clínica favorable. Este caso resalta la importancia de considerar el pseudoaneurisma de Rasmussen en- tre las posibles complicaciones de un paciente con tuberculosis y hemoptisis recurren- te o masiva.


We present the case of a 12-year-old boy admitted to the hospital due to hemoptysis without other symptoms. We performed a Thorax X-Ray (pathological), laboratory with elevated acute phase reactants, TST (negative), sputum x 3 with negative smear and computed tomography angiography showing a tree-in-bud pattern in all lobes, and di-latation of a brunch of the pulmonary artery in the upper left lobe. We considered pri-mary vascular anomaly or lesion due to infection as a differential diagnosis. The patient underwent digital angiography and therapeutic embolization of this pseudoaneurysm. After seventeen days, 2/3 of the sputum cultures were positive for Mycobacterium tu-berculosis. The patient received standard anti-TB therapy with favorable evolution. This case highlights the importance of considering complications such as Rasmussen's pseudoaneurysm in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and recurrent or massive hemoptysis.

ABSTRACT

El pseudoaneurisma se define como un hematoma pulsátil repermeabilizado, encapsulado y en comunicación con la luz de un vaso dañado. Se origina cuando hay una disrupción de la pared arterial. La hemoptisis es un signo/síntoma de presentación muy rara de aneurisma aórtico torácico y de pseudoaneurisma aórtico torácico. Hay poca información sobre la hemoptisis asociada con la ruptura del aneurisma aórtico cuyo mecanismo no se explica por la presencia de una fístula aortopulmonar. Entre las hipótesis para explicar este fenómeno, se encuentra la capacidad de las arterias bronquiales de volverse hiperplásicas y tortuosas en presencia de una lesión que modifica la arquitectura pulmonar, siendo más susceptibles a la ruptura. También hay descripciones de lesiones directas del parénquima pulmonar por aneurisma roto. El presente caso nos ilustra que debemos considerar a la hemoptisis como signo de alarma en el diagnóstico diferencial de los aneurismas y pseudoaneurismas aórticos entre otras causas que puede ser fatal en breve tiempo por una hemorragia masiva.


Pseudoaneurysm is defined as a reperfused pulsatile hematoma, encapsulated and communicated with the damaged vessel's lumen. It originates when there is a disruption of the arterial wall. Hemoptysis is a very rare sign/symptom of a thoracic aortic aneurysm or pseudoaneurysm. There is little information on hemoptysis associated with aortic aneurysm rupture, whose mechanisms are not explained by the presence of an aortopulmonary fistula. Among the hypotheses to explain this phenomenon, is the ability of the bronchial arteries to become hyperplasic and tortuous in the presence of a lesion that modifies the pulmonary architecture, being more susceptible to rupture. There are also descriptions of direct lung parenchymal injury from ruptured aneurysm. The present case illustrates that we must consider the hemoptysis as a warning sign in differential diagnosis of aortic aneurysms and pseudo aneurysms, among other causes, that it can be fatal in a short time due to massive hemorrhage.

ABSTRACT

Vascular Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (VEDS) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder caused by mutations in the COL3A1 or COL1A1 genes. Its mortality is secondary to sudden and spontaneous rupture of arteries or hollow organs. The genotype influences the distribution of arterial pathology with aneurysms of intra-abdominal visceral arteries being relatively uncommon. We describe the case of a young man with probable VEDS who died of a spontaneous rupture and dissection of the cystic artery. The patient initially presented with abdominal pain due to an unrecognized spontaneous perforation of the small intestine complicated by sepsis. We postulate that inflammatory mediators may have triggered the arterial rupture due to remodeling and weakening of vessel walls. The phenotype of the patient's vascular damage included bilateral spontaneous carotid-cavernous sinus fistulae and dissection with pseudoaneurysm formation of large- and medium-sized arteries, predominantly the abdominal aorta and its branches. The autopsy uncovered a long history of vascular events that may have been asymptomatic. These findings along with a positive family history supported the VEDS diagnosis. Loeys-Dietz, Marfan, and familial thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection syndromes were ruled out based on the absence of arterial tortuosity, eye abnormalities, bone overgrowth, and the distribution of vascular damage among other features. Interestingly, microscopic examination of the hippocampus revealed a focus of neuronal heterotopia, commonly associated with epilepsy; however, the patient had no history of seizures. The natural course of VEDS involves the rupture and dissection of arteries that, if unrecognized, can lead to a rapid death after bleeding into free spaces.

ABSTRACT

Pseudoaneurysms of gluteal arteries are rare, especially involving the inferior gluteal artery. They are mainly associated with penetrating trauma, infections, or pelvic fractures. A minority of cases are caused by blunt traumas, with only six cases reported in English. We present a case of pseudoaneurysm of the right inferior gluteal artery after a bicycle fall, presenting with a large hematoma in the gluteal region, observed during clinical examination, and significantly reduced hemoglobin. CT angiography revealed a large hematoma, with contrast extravasation and pseudoaneurysm formation. Angiography revealed that the origin of the lesion was in the right inferior gluteal artery. This artery was embolized with coils. After the procedure, the patient was referred to an intensive care unit, from where he was later transferred to a different hospital, with bleeding controlled. Endovascular treatment of these cases is a safe, fast and an effective option


Pseudoaneurismas de artérias glúteas são raros, especialmente os que envolvem a artéria glútea inferior. Eles estão associados principalmente a traumas penetrantes, infecções ou fraturas de pelve. Em uma minoria de casos, são causados por traumas fechados, havendo somente seis casos relatados na literatura. Apresenta-se aqui um caso de pseudoaneurisma da artéria glútea inferior direita após queda de bicicleta, evoluindo com grande hematoma na região glútea ao exame clínico e queda hematimétrica significativa. A angiotomografia revelou um grande hematoma na região glútea, com extravasamento de contraste e formação de pseudoaneurisma no local. A angiografia revelou que a origem da lesão era na artéria glútea inferior direita. Foi realizada embolização dessa artéria com molas. Após esse procedimento, o paciente foi encaminhado para a unidade de terapia intensiva, de onde foi posteriormente transferido para outro hospital, com o sangramento controlado. Para esses casos, o tratamento endovascular é uma opção segura, rápida e efetiva

ABSTRACT

Bullet embolization of the arterial or venous systems is a rare complication of penetrating gunshot injuries. A 29-year­old man presented at the emergency department with a gunshot wound to the left arm, which had transfixed the arm and entered the thorax, with no exit wound. Initial radiographies showed a projectile in the upper left thigh. Contrast­enhanced tomography showed a pseudo-aneurysm of the descending thoracic aorta and the bullet inside the proximal left superficial femoral artery. Physical examination found diminished left pedal pulses, and the patient complained of left toe numbness. Endovascular thoracic aortic pseudoaneurysm repair was performed, sealing the descending aortic orifice with an endograft, and thromboembolectomy/bullet retrieval was carried out via a left femoral incision, both successfully. Considering that diagnosis of missile emboli depends on a high degree of suspicion, physicians who manage gunshot wound patients must be acutely aware of the possibility of intravascular bullet embolism


A embolia balística pelo sistema arterial ou venoso é uma complicação rara de ferimentos penetrantes por arma de fogo. Um homem de 29 anos se apresentou na emergência com um ferimento por arma de fogo no braço esquerdo, que transfixou o braço e atingiu o tórax, sem ferimento de saída. Radiografias iniciais mostraram o projétil na coxa superior esquerda. A tomografia contrastada mostrou um pseudoaneurisma da aorta torácica descendente e o projétil no interior da artéria femoral superficial proximal esquerda. Ao exame físico, o pulso pedioso esquerdo estava diminuído e o paciente referiu dormência no hálux esquerdo. Foi realizado o reparo endovascular da aorta torácica e a tromboembolectomia/retirada do projétil por incisão femoral esquerda, ambos bem-sucedidos. Considerando que o diagnóstico de embolia balística depende de um alto grau de suspeição, os médicos que manejam pacientes com ferimentos por arma de fogo devem estar atentos a essa possibilidade

ABSTRACT

Abstract Symmetrical peripheral gangrene is an ischemic necrosis simultaneously involving the distal portions of two or more extremities without any proximal arterial obstruction or vasculitis. It may occur as a result of a large number of infectious and non-infectious causes. A few cases of symmetrical peripheral gangrene associated with cardiac disease have been described in the literature. We describe a case of symmetrical peripheral gangrene complicating ventricular pseudoaneurysm, probably a hitherto unreported occurrence. In this report, we sought to emphasize the importance of cardiac evaluation while dealing with a case of symmetrical peripheral gangrene.

ABSTRACT

El acceso vascular ideal debe proporcionar un flujo adecuado a las necesidades de la diálisis, debe ser de larga duración y tener una baja tasa de complicaciones. La realización de una fístula autóloga se considera de primera elección como acceso vascular para la hemodiálisis. Si bien se conocen las causas de los aneurismas y pseudoaneurismas de las fistulas, estos son muy pocos frecuentes y por ello es importante conocer que aparecen. Mostramos varios casos de aneurismas y pseudoaneurismas de las fístulas, causas y que hacer para evitarlos. Se presentan seis casos de pacientes con fístulas arteriovenosas para hemodiálisis realizada la cirugía en el hospital "Victoria Mahe" de islas Seychelles en dos años, el diagnóstico fue clínico y ultrasonográfico. Se encontró un paciente diabético de edad avanzada con pseudoaneurismas de la arteria de la fístula luego de su ligadura a nivel del codo; uno con múltiples aneurismas venosos en una fístula de más de cinco años de evolución y cuatro pacientes con pseudoaneurismas de la vena por ruptura de las fístulas. Es importante no solo hacer un acceso vascular para diálisis, sino cuidar del mismo para evitar que aparezcan los aneurismas y pseudoaneurismas, para ello: rotar los sitios de punción, evitar la hipotensión severa, educar a los pacientes sobre lo que no deben hacer con el brazo de la fístula y realizar una buena asepsia y antisepsia antes de iniciar la diálisis para evitar la sépsis y con ello otras complicaciones, y preparar al personal de enfermería que realizará el proceder(AU)


The ideal vascular access should provide adequate flow to meet dialysis requirements, should be long lasting and also have a low rate of complications. Autologous fistula is considered the first choice for vascular access in hemodialysis. If the causes of aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms of fistulae are well known, they are very unusual and so, it is important to know why they occur. Several cases of aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms of fistulae, their causes and how to prevent them were shown. Six cases with arteriovenous fistulae for hemodialysis were presented; the surgery was performed in "Victoria Mahe" Hospital in Seychelles islands in two years, the diagnosis was clinical and ultrasonographic. There were one elderly diabetic patient with pseudo-aneurysm in the artery of the fistula after ligation at the elbow, one with multiple venous aneurysms in a fistula of over 5 years of progression and four patients with vein pseudo-aneurysms due to fistula rupture. It is very important not only to make a vascular access for dialysis, but also to take care of it so as to avoid aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms. To this end, it is advisable to rotate the puncture sites, to severe hypotension, to educate patients about what should not be done with the fistula arm, to perform good aseptic- antiseptic actions before starting dialysis to prevent sepsis and other complications and to prepare nurses to conduct the procedure(AU)

ABSTRACT

Pseudoaneurismas do ventrículo esquerdo são geralmente associados a infarto agudo do miocárdio, entretanto, podem surgir no pós-operatório tardio de cirurgias valvares, assim como os pseudoaneurismas aórticos. Acometem frequentemente pacientes com alto risco cirúrgico, e o tratamento percutâneo éhabitualmente realizado em centros de referência para o tratamento de cardiopatias congênitas devido às características anatômicas dos defeitos. Apresentamos dois casos de pseudoaneurismas do ventrículoesquerdo tratados por via transapical, sem necessidade de circulação extracorpórea, e um caso depseudoaneurisma aórtico tratado por via femoral, no qual foi utilizado laço por acesso contralateral para permitir suporte e direcionamento adequados da bainha longa para acessar o defeito...


Left ventricular pseudoaneurysms are usually associated with acute myocardial infarction; however, these conditions may emerge in the late postoperative period of valvar surgery, and this can also occur with aortic pseudoaneurysms. These pseudoaneurysms often affect patients with high surgical risk,and percutaneous treatment is usually performed in reference centers for treatment of congenital heartdiseases, due to anatomical characteristics of these defects. We present two cases of left ventricularpseudoaneurysms treated by transapical approach without need for cardiopulmonary bypass, and one caseof aortic pseudoaneurysm treated by femoral approach, in which a snare was introduced by contralateral access, to allow for adequate support and guidance of the long sheath for accessing the defect...

ABSTRACT

A síndrome da veia cava superior representa o conjunto de sinais e sintomas decorrentes da sua obstrução. A síndrome tem como principais etiologias tumores malignos, como o carcinoma broncogênico, o linfoma e a metástase mediastinal. O câncer de pulmão é responsável por 80% dos casos, os linfomas mediastinais por 15%, e 5% correspondem às demais causas. Este relato de caso objetiva apresentar um caso incomum dessa síndrome, ocorrido em um paciente do sexo masculino após ferimento penetrante no tórax, resultando em pseudoaneurisma de arco aórtico e a síndrome da veia cava superior.


The superior vena cava syndrome represents the set of signs and symptoms resulting from obstruction of superior vena cava. The syndrome has as main causes malignant tumors such as bronchogenic carcinoma, lymphoma and mediastinal metastases. Lung cancer accounts for 80% of cases, mediastinal lymphomas by 15% and 5% correspond to other causes. This case report aims to present an unusual case of this syndrome, which occurred in a male patient after penetrating wound in the chest, which developed a pseudoaneurysm of the aortic arch and superior vena cava syndrome.

ABSTRACT

O pseudoaneurisma da zona fibrosa intervalvar mitroaórtica (PFMA) é uma doença pouco frequente, em geral secundária a endocardite da valva aórtica, particularmente em próteses valvares. Seu curso clínico é variável e pode ocasionar complicações graves, como ruptura para o pericárdio, aorta ou átrio esquerdo, compressão sistólica das artérias coronárias ou compressão sistólica da valva mitral, ocasionando regurgitação mitral acentuada, motivo pelo qual se recomenda seu tratamento cirúrgico. Neste relato é apresentado o caso de paciente com 69 anos de idade, assintomático, com antecedente de duas cirurgias de revascularização miocárdica, a última associada a troca valvar aórtica. O PFMA foi diagnosticado incidentalmente na evolução pós-operatória tardia, optando-se pelo tratamento percutâneo com a prótese AmplatzerTM Muscular VSD Occluder.


Pseudoaneurysm of the mitral-aortic intervalvular fibrosa (PMAF) is a rare disease, usually secondary to aortic valve endocarditis, particularly in prosthetic valves. Its clinical course is variable and may potentially cause serious complications, such as rupture into the pericardium, aorta or left atrium, systolic compression of the coronary arteries or systolic compression of the mitral valve, leading to severe mitral regurgitation, for which surgical treatment is recommended. This is a case report of a 69 year-old asymptomatic patient, with a prior history of two coronary artery bypass graft surgeries, the latter associated with aortic valve replacement. The PMAF was incidentally diagnosed in the late follow-up, and a decision was made to perform percutaneous therapy with the AmplatzerTM Muscular VSD Occluder.

ABSTRACT

A via radial apresenta menores taxas de complicações vasculares para realização de cinecoronariografia. O pseudoaneurisma da artéria radial é uma complicação rara desse procedimento. O diagnóstico precoce é essencial para evitar complicações como ruptura espontânea, isquemia e síndrome compartimental. Neste relato é descrito um caso de pseudoaneurisma da artéria radial direita após realização de cinecoronariografia eletiva. O diagnóstico foi confirmado por ultrassonografia com Doppler, que evidenciou pseudoaneurisma da artéria radial na face anteromedial do antebraço, medindo 3,7 x 2,5 cm, com colo de 0,7 cm. O tratamento foi feito com curativo compressivo local e nova ultrassonografia com Doppler, realizada 12 horas após, demonstrou resolução do pseudoaneurisma.


The radial approach has lower vascular complication rates for coronary angiography. Radial artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication of this procedure. Early diagnosis is essential to avoid complications such as spontaneous rupture, ischemia and compartment syndrome. We describe a case of pseudoaneurysm of the right radial artery after elective coronary angiography. Diagnosis was confirmed by Doppler ultrasound, which revealed a pseudoaneurysm of the radial artery on the anteromedial surface of the forearm, measuring 3.7 x 2.5 cm, with a neck of 0.7 cm. Treatment was done with local compressive dressing and a new Doppler ultrasound, performed 12 hours later, demonstrated resolution of the pseudoaneurysm.

ABSTRACT

A substituição valvar é uma cirurgia cardíaca frequente, principalmente em países como o Brasil, onde a doença reumática ainda mutila um grande número de jovens. Desde as primeiras próteses, desenvolvidas no início da década de 1.960, acompanhamos uma corrida tecnológica no desenvolvimento de válvulas artificiais biológicas ou mecânicas. Apesar desses avanços, o implante de uma prótese valvar está longe de representar uma cura completa. Ao contrário, os pacientes continuam com os riscos das complicações inerentes às próteses, bem como necessitando de acompanhamento médico. A ecocardiografia, com suas diferentes modalidades, tem um papel importante na avaliação não invasiva desses pacientes. Neste artigo de revisão, abordamos os aspectos normais e as disfunções das próteses cardíacas por meio da ecocardiografia.


The valve replacement is a common cardiac surgery, especially in countries like Brazil, where a signifi cant number of young people are affected by rheumatic fever. Since the implantation of the fi rst valve prosthesis in the early 60´s, a large variety of biological and mechanical valves have been developed. Despite these advances, the mplantation of a prosthetic valve is far from representing acomplete cure and patients continue to suff er from the complications inherent to the prosthesis, as well as needing medical follow-up. Echocardiography, with its diff erent forms, has an important role in the noninvasive evaluation of these patients. In this article we off er a review of echocardiographic and Doppler techniques used in the assessment of normal and dysfunction prosthetic valves.
