RESUMEN
La compresión sobre cavidades derechas en el posoperatorio temprano de cirugía cardíaca en un paciente total o parcialmente estable implica un desafío respecto de la conducta a adoptar, especialmente acerca del mejor modo de monitorizar la situación. En esta presentación se describe el caso de un paciente de 54 años con múltiples antecedentes clínicos, entre ellos cirugía de revascularización previa, que fue sometido a reemplazo valvular aórtico y mitral (con prótesis biológicas) y plástica tricuspídea. Debido a sangrado masivo en la intervención sin respuesta a la transfusión de hemoderivados, fue reexplorado en quirófano; ante la observación de sangrado difuso, se administró una dosis de factor VII recombinante activado. En el posoperatorio presentó elevación de presiones en la aurícula derecha, en la que se detectó compresión aislada por un hematoma; inicialmente se planteó una conducta conservadora. El paciente fue monitorizado mediante ecocardiograma transesofágico continuo y la conducta estuvo guiada por parámetros de llenado y función ventricular, además de la observación directa y continua del hematoma.
ABSTRACT
Compression over right chambers in the early postoperative course after cardiac surgery in a fully or partially stable patient poses a challenge as to what approach to follow, especially regarding the best management of the situation. This report describes the case of a 54-year-old male patient with a significant clinical history -including previous coronary artery bypass surgery-, who underwent mitral and aortic valve replacement (with bioprostheses), and tricuspid valve repair. Due to massive bleeding unresponsive to transfusion of blood products during surgery, the patient was re-explored in the operating room; a recombinant activated factor VII dose was infused as a result of diffuse bleeding. During postoperative course, the patient presented with high atrium pressure, in which an isolated compression due to hematoma was detected; initially a conservative approach was adopted. The patient was monitored under continuous transesophageal echocardiogram, and management was based on ventricular filling parameters, in addition to direct and continuous observation of the hematoma.
