ABSTRACT

Abstract Introduction: The superior cavopulmonary connection operation is one of the stages of the palliative surgical management for patients with functionally single ventricle. After surviving this stage, the patients are potential candidates for the final palliative procedure: the Fontan operation. Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the outcomes of superior cavopulmonary connection operations in our center and to identify factors affecting the survival and the progression to Fontan stage. Methods: The outcomes of 161 patients were retrospectively analyzed after undergoing superior cavopulmonary connection operation in our center between 2005 and 2015. Results: The early mortality rate was 2.5%. Five (3.1%) patients underwent takedown of the superior cavopulmonary connection. The rate of exclusion from the Fontan stage was 8.3%. Statistical analysis revealed that elevated mean pulmonary artery pressure preoperatively and the prior palliation with pulmonary artery banding were risk factors for both early mortality and takedown; however, the age, the morphology of the single ventricle and the type of operation were not considered risk factors. Conclusion: The superior cavopulmonary connection operation can be performed with low rate mortality and morbidity; however, the elevated mean pulmonary artery pressure preoperatively and the prior pulmonary artery banding are associated with poor outcomes.

ABSTRACT

AbstractThe Glenn operation involving anastomosis of the superior vena cava to the pulmonary artery has been performed for palliative operations of many cyanotic congenital heart diseases in addition to the single ventricle since the 1960s. The classic procedure is done via median sternotomy and cardiopulmonary bypass. The benefits of this procedure without the use of cardiopulmonary bypass remain mixed within reported series. Cases using this approach and off-pump technique together in Latin-America have not yet been reported in the scientific literature.


ResumoA operação de Glenn envolvendo anastomose da veia cava superior à artéria pulmonar foi realizada como procedimento paliativo de muitas doenças cardíacas congênitas cianóticas, além do ventrículo único desde os anos 1960. O procedimento clássico é feito por esternotomia mediana e circulação extracorpórea. Os benefícios deste procedimento sem o uso de circulação extracorpórea permanecem incertos dentro da série relatada. Casos utilizando conjuntamente esta abordagem e a técnica sem circulação extracorpórea na América Latina ainda não foram relatados na literatura científica.

ABSTRACT

To evaluate the efficacy of performing Bidirectional Glenns [BDG] using "clamp and sew technique". Quasi-experimental study. Armed Institute of Cardiology / National Institute of Heart Diseases, Rawalpindi from 1[st] January 2011 to 31[st] December 2013. All patients subjected to BDG using clamp and sew technique during study period were included. The salient operative steps included. 1] Dissection of superior vena cava, azygous vein and pulmonary arteries 2] Clamping and division of superior vena cava at cardiac end 3] Clamping of ipsilateral branch pulmonary artery and its anastomosis to the divided superior vena cava. Observed variables included oxygen saturations and internal jugular venous pressure before, during and after the procedure, postoperative ventilation requirements, ICU stay, neuro-cognitive assessment, pleural drainage and mortality. A total of 27 patients were included. 85.2% patients had unilateral BDG while 14.8% patients had bilateral BDG. Mean internal jugular venous pressure on clamping superior vena cava was 29.21 +/- 6.13 mmHg [range 19-23 mmHg] and mean clamp time was 14.32 +/- 3.39 minutes with a range of 11-21 minutes. Mean Glenn pressure was 14.29 +/- 2.53 [range 12-18 mmHg]. Mean postoperative Oxygen saturation was 86.07 +/- 2.71% which was significantly increased as compared to preoperative oxygen saturation of 71 +/- 5.16% [p < 0.001]. Mean ICU stay was 70.45 +/- 8.94 hours [38-210 hours]. No neuro-cognitive impairment was observed and there was no 30 day in hospital mortality. Off-pump BDG with clamp and sew technique is a safe procedure in selective patients. It avoids the need for cardiopulmonary bypass and high cost associated with it

ABSTRACT

Objective : To evaluate the safety, feasibility, and outcome following radical excision of thymoma with resection and reconstruction of invaded mediastinal vessels. Study Design : A retrospective study. Patients and Methods : Six patients with thymoma invading the superior vena cava (SVC) and/or the brachiocephalic veins (BCVs) were reviewed in this study. All the patients underwent radical excision of the tumor along with invaded mediastinal vessels followed by vessel reconstruction or repair. The clinical presentation, operative details, postoperative course, and follow-up were reviewed and analyzed. Results : Three patients presented with features suggestive of SVC syndrome. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the chest was the primary imaging modality, which detected a tumor with invasion of major mediastinal veins. WHO type B2 was the commonest histologic type, which was seen in 4 cases. Intraoperatively, SVC invasion, SVC and BCV invasion, and BCV invasions alone were seen in 1, 2, and 3 cases, respectively. The vessels were reconstructed with a prosthetic graft in 3 patients, and autologous pericardial tube graft was used in 1 patient. Two patients had primary repair of the wall of the involved vessel. Postoperative course was complicated by ventilator support requirement in 2, graft thrombosis in 2, acute renal failure in 1 and pneumonia in 1 patient. All patients are alive at the end of follow-up period ranging between 18 and 24 months. Conclusion: Thymoma excision with the reconstruction of SVC or BCV is safe and feasible in experienced hands.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: O tratamento cirúrgico da conexão anômala das veias pulmonares em veia cava superior, associada ao defeito septal atrial tipo seio venoso, é bem estabelecido e transcorre com baixa mortalidade e morbidade. Com a finalidade de diminuir a incidência de estenose ou oclusão da veia cava superior direita, especialmente quando associada à presença de veia cava superior esquerda, o apêndice atrial direito foi utilizado para ampliar a veia cava superior direita, após o desvio das veias pulmonares para o átrio esquerdo. MÉTODOS: No período entre junho de 1986 e setembro de 2008, foram operados 95 pacientes, consecutivos, portadores desta anomalia com drenagem em veia cava superior direita e porção alta do átrio direito. A idade variou de 6 meses a 68 anos e o sexo feminino predominou com 50 casos. RESULTADOS: No material apresentado, não ocorreu nenhum óbito na fase de pós-operatório imediato ou tardio. O ritmo cardíaco permaneceu sempre sinusal e não ocorreram complicações na evolução. CONCLUSÃO: O presente trabalho demonstra a aplicabilidade da técnica descrita, com resultados favoráveis em relação a mortalidade, distúrbios de ritmo e complicações na região da veia cava superior direita.


OBJECTIVE: Surgical treatment of anomalous pulmonary venous connection to the superior vena cava, associated with sinus venous atrial septal defect, is well established and correlates with low mortality and morbidity. In order to reduce the incidence of stenosis or occlusion of the right superior vena cava, especially when associated with the presence of left superior vena cava, the right atrial appendage was used to enlarge the right superior vena cava, after the diversion of the anomalous pulmonary veins for the left atrium. METHODS: Between June 1986 and September 2008, 95 consecutive patients were operated with anomalous drainage in the superior right vena cava and high right atrium. Ages ranged from 6 months to 68 years and females predominated with 50 cases. RESULTS: There was no death in the immediate or late post operative care. The sinus cardiac rhythm was preserved in all cases and there was no complications in the late follow up. CONCLUSION: This paper demonstrates the applicability of the technique described, with favorable results on mortality, rhythm disturbances and complications in the right superior vena cava.

ABSTRACT

Os tumores cardíacos intrapericárdicos são pouco freqüentes, porém, as manifestações clínicas podem ser graves, até com sintomas de baixo débito ou choque cardiogênico, dependendo da localização do tumor. Relatamos o caso de um lactente com três meses de idade, que apresentou na evolução choque cardiogênico, em decorrência de um tumor intrapericárdico, comprimindo o átrio direito e a veia cava superior. Indicada operação de urgência para ressecção da massa tumoral, apresentou adequada evolução até seis meses de pós-operatório.


The intrapericardic cardiac tumors are infrequent; however, the clinical manifestations can be serious, even with symptoms of low cardiac output or cardiogenic shock, depending on the localization of the tumor. We report the case of a 3-month-old infant who progressed to cardiogenic shock due to an intrapericardic tumor compressing the right atrium and the vena cava superior. Emergent surgery for resection of the tumor mass was recommended. The patient had a 6-month uneventful postoperative course.

ABSTRACT

El traumatismo vascular torácico se considera una de las lesiones más complejas dentro de la traumatología, el paciente está grave desde el momento del trauma y empeora rápidamente, lo que impide en muchas ocasiones llevar a cabo medidas salvadoras. Por el pronóstico fatal que presentan los pacientes con lesiones de este tipo, resulta excepcional la curación tras la cirugía. Se presenta una paciente que sufrió una lesión traumática de la vena cava superior unida a una herida transfixiante en el lóbulo superior derecho e hilio pulmonar, la que se intervino quirúrgicamente de urgencia, se le realizó sutura vascular de la cava y lobectomía superior derecha. La paciente se recuperó satisfactoriamente.


The vascular thoracic traumatism is considered one of most complex in traumatology. The patient is critical since the trauma occurs and he aggravates rapidly, which impedes many times to take saving measures. Due to the fatal prognosis presented by the patients with these lesions, their cure after surgery is exceptional. A female patient that suffered from a traumatic lesion of the superior vena cava together with a transfixing wound in the upper right lobule and pulmonary hilum, was presented. She underwent emergency surgery and vascular suture of the vena cava and right upper lobectomy were performed. The patient had a satisfactory recovery.

ABSTRACT

Relatamos o caso de uma paciente portadora de síndrome da veia cava superior sintomática de origem benigna tratada pela técnica endovascular. A angiorressonância magnética pré-angioplastia evidenciou extensa trombose do tronco braquiocefálico esquerdo, da veia subclávia esquerda e obstrução da veia cava superior junto ao tronco braquiocefálico direito. A paciente realizou mastectomia radical 2 anos antes, associada à quimioterapia e radioterapia do tórax. Foram realizados angioplastia venosa e implante de stent expansível por balão. O resultado foi satisfatório, com alívio imediato dos sintomas devido à recanalização da veia cava superior e do tronco braquiocefálico direito. Foi instituída anticoagulação oral. A paciente permanece sem recidiva dos sintomas após 8 meses de acompanhamento. O tratamento endovascular é uma alternativa terapêutica com baixa morbidade e resultado satisfatório a médio prazo que pode ser oferecida aos pacientes portadores de síndrome da veia cava superior.


We report a case of a patient with symptomatic benign superior vena cava syndrome treated by the endovascular technique. The angiographic resonance before angioplasty showed extensive thrombosis of the left brachiocephalic trunk, left subclavian vein and superior vena cava obstruction close to the right brachiocephalic trunk. The patient underwent radical mastectomy 2 years ago with adjuvant chemotherapy and chest radiotherapy. Venous angioplasty and balloon-expandable stenting were performed. Satisfactory result was obtained with immediate relief of symptoms due to recanalization of the right brachiocephalic trunk and superior vena cava. Oral anticoagulation was initiated. The patient is still asymptomatic after 8 months of follow-up. The endovascular treatment is a therapeutic alternative with low morbidity and satisfactory mid-term results that can be offered to patients with superior vena cava syndrome.

ABSTRACT

The mortality of grade V and VI liver trauma fluctuates between 30percent and 70percent. The atriocaval shunt, described by Shrock et al, in 1968, is a therapeutic option that, after being installed, allows to repair the suprahepatic veins and retrohepatic cava in a bloodless surgical field. Its use requires an experienced and skilled surgeon to obtain survival rates similar to those obtained with other methods. We report two male patients of 17 and 18 years old treated successfully with this technique after suffering a blunt and a penetrating liver trauma by a shotgun, respectively.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Comparar os pacientes onde a operação foi realizada com circulação extracorpórea (CEC) àqueles sem CEC, analisando suas características e verificando se houve ou não superioridade de alguma das técnicas empregadas. MÉTODO: Entre janeiro de 2002 e janeiro de 2004, 16 pacientes foram submetidos à operação de Glenn bidirecional (GB), todos com defeitos cardíacos complexos. Quatorze eram do sexo feminino, com idade mediana de 19 meses. Os pacientes foram divididos em dois grupos: A (GB com CEC) e B (GB sem CEC), sendo sete do grupo A e nove do grupo B. Foram analisadas comparativamente as variáveis: sexo, idade, pressão arterial pulmonar média (PAPM), operação realizada, tempo de CEC, pinçamento da aorta, derivação venoatrial, operações prévias, internação na unidade de terapia intensiva (UTI), hospitalização e complicações imediatas. RESULTADOS: A mediana da PAPM foi 13 mmHg. No grupo A, o tempo foi de CEC 91 ± 47 minutos (57-195 minutos) e o de isquemia miocárdica 25 ± 33 minutos (0-80 minutos). Destes, quatro necessitaram de procedimento intracardíaco ou ampliação de ramos pulmonares e três, auxílio da CEC como suporte ventilatório. No grupo B o tempo de desvio venoatrial foi de 21 ± 10 minutos (0-39 minutos). O tempo para extubação 9 ± 13 horas, mediana 3 horas (1-43 horas). A permanência UTI foi de 8 ± 12 dias, mediana 5 dias (1-50 dias). O período médio de internação hospitalar foi de 12 ± 12 dias, mediana 7 dias (0-50 dias). Cinco pacientes haviam sido submetidos à operação prévia. Dois (12,5 por cento) faleceram, sendo um em cada grupo. Não houve complicações neurológicas, derrame pleural ou pericárdico. Todas as variáveis estudadas entre os grupos não apresentaram diferença estatística significativa. CONCLUSAO: Apesar da amostra relativamente pequena, o presente estudo sugere que a operação de GB pode ser realizada com ou sem CEC com resultados semelhantes no que se refere à morbidade e mortalidade. Assim sendo, a operação sem CEC pode ser empregada com segurança quando os achados anatômicos forem apropriados e não houver hipóxia grave.

ABSTRACT

Vascular involvement in Behcet's disease is rare approximately 14% venous and 1.6% arterial, serious and recurrent. We report a case of Behcet's disease with deep venous thrombosis and right iliac pseudoaneurysm which was repaired with polytetrafluoroethylene PTFE graft. The patient received warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel, immunosuppressive and corticosteroids. Two months later the patient developed manifestations of superior vena cava thrombosis and the graft was blocked. Three months later, ischemia of the right foot deteriorated and left femoral artery to right femoral artery crossover PTFE graft was performed

ABSTRACT

Antecedentes: el SVCS responde a causas malignas en más del 90 por ciento de los casos. La conjunción de disnea y encefalopatía previene sobre un rápido curso ominoso. El tratamiento con quimio y/o radioterapia (a excepción de los linfomas) no suele tener éxito inmediato. La cirugía de derivación resulta difícil y sumamente riesgosa en pacientes con poca expectativa de supervivencia prolongada. Objetivos: demostrar la utilidad del empleo de endoprótesis auto expansibles para repermeabilizar la VCS. Lugar de aplicación: Centro Asistencial Universitario. Diseño: estudio observacional retrospectivo. Material y método: entre 1994 y 1999 fueron tratados 21 pacientes portadores de SVCS, con endoprótesis autoexpansibles. Hubo 15 hombres y 6 mujeres. La edad media fue 53 años (rango 26-70). La etiología fue benigna en 2 casos (trombosis por catéter) y maligna en 19. Once pacientes fueron tratados previamente con quimio y/o radioterapia. La colocación del "stent" se efectuó por punción percutánea vía femoral en 18 casos y por vena basílica en 3. Se utilizó un introductor 10 F valvulado y pre-dilatación con balón de angioplastía de 8-10 mm de diámetro. Los "stents" implantados fueron del tipo Wallstent Boston Scientific, cuyo diámetro osciló entre 10-16 mm. Quince pacientes efectuaron posteriormente tratamiento con quimio y/o radioterapia. Resultados: todos los procedimientos resultaron técnicamente exitosos, con desaparición de los síntomas dentro de las primeras 24-48 hs. Un paciente en el cual se demoró la indicación falleció después de la implantación del "stent" como consecuencia de insuficiencia respiratoria por neoplasia avanzada. La supervivencia media fue de 7 meses. Conclusiones: la utilización de endoprótesis para recanalización de la VCS ofrece excelentes resultados en manos de equipos experimentados con rápida remisión del cuadro clínico

ABSTRACT

Bidirectional Glenn (BDG) shunt was carried out in 14 patients (age range 1.5-22 years; mean 9.3 years) for a variety of congenital cyanotic heart diseases with decreased pulmonary blood flow. Postoperative cardiac catheterisation was carried out in 10 patients including successful balloon angioplasty of the shunt and LPA in one patient. There was a significant improvement in oxygen saturation and a drop in haematocrit level at follow-up. Doppler echocardiography studies in 13 patients revealed functioning shunts in all cases with low velocity continuous flow. Thus BDG is a useful palliative procedure and could be undertaken as the first stage of total cavopulmonary connection in high-risk Fontan groups where biventricular repair is not feasible.
