ABSTRACT

Abstract Introduction Laparoscopic adrenalectomy is the treatment of choice of pheochromocytoma. During the first surgical phase (pneumoperitoneum insufflation, tumor and veins handling), there is a risk of hypertensive crisis due to catecholamine release. After tumor excision, patients can suffer relative vasodilation and the residual effect of antihypertensive drugs, which results in arterial hypotension. For that reason, antihypertensive drugs used in the first phase should have a rapid onset of action, short half-life and no residual effect. Methods We report a series of three cases of patients with pheochromocytoma who were treated with laparoscopic adrenalectomy. They all received clevidipine infusion from the beginning of the surgery, before they had presented hypertension, to treat and try to minimize hypertensive peaks. Results In all patients, hypertensive peaks were controlled in a few minutes. After tumor resection, clevidipine infusion was stopped in all cases, and any patient required infusion of vasopressors. Discussion Clevidipine could be a first choice antihypertensive drug in pheochromocytoma surgery. Starting the infusion of clevidipine before the hypertensive peaks could help to make them less pronounced.


Resumen Introducción La adrenalectomía laparoscópica es el tratamiento de elección del feocromocitoma. Durante la primera fase quirúrgica (insuflación de neumoperitoneo, manipulación del tumor y de las venas implicadas), existe el riesgo de que se desencadenen crisis hipertensivas debido a la liberación de catecolaminas. Después de la extirpación del tumor, los pacientes pueden sufrir una vasodilatación relativa y el efecto residual de los fármacos antihipertensivos usados previamente, lo que resulta en hipotensión arterial. Por esa razón, los fármacos antihipertensivos utilizados en la primera fase quirúrgica deben tener rápido inicio de acción, vida media corta y mínimo efecto residual. Métodos Se describe una serie de casos de tres pacientes con feocromocitoma que fueron tratados con adrenalectomía laparoscópica. Todos recibieron infusión de clevidipino desde el comienzo de la cirugía, antes de presentar hipertensión arterial, para así intentar minimizar y tratar rápidamente los posibles picos hipertensivos. Resultados En todos los pacientes los picos hipertensivos se controlaron en pocos minutos. Después de la resección del tumor, la infusión de clevidipino se detuvo en todos los casos y ningún paciente requirió perfusión de vasopresores. Discusión El clevidipino podría ser un fármaco antihipertensivo de primera elección en la cirugía de feocromocitoma. Iniciarlo antes de que ocurran los picos hipertensivos podría ayudar a que sean más leves.

ABSTRACT

Fundamento y objetivo: Para evitar el efecto tóxico quimioterápico se ha propuesto la utilización de análogos agonistas de la GnRH (aGnRH) para inhibir la depleción de folículos ováricos. Existen controversias sobre su eficacia, por lo que se ha realizado un ensayo clínico para valorar el efecto protector de los análogos de la GnRH en mujeres afectadas de cáncer y enfermedades autoinmunitarias tratadas con fármacos citotóxicos. Pacientes y métodos: Ensayo clínico, de fase ii, unicéntrico y abierto. Durante el tratamiento quimioterápico se administraron 5 dosis de análogo antagonista de la GnRH en intervalos de 3 días y/o una dosis mensual de aGnRH. Se realizaron determinaciones hormonales previamente al inicio del tratamiento quimioterápico y al finalizar este. Resultados: La inclusión de las pacientes se concluyó precozmente al introducir como parámetro de evaluación de la reserva ovárica la determinación de hormona antimulleriana (HAM). De las 38 pacientes seguidas, 23 (60,5%, IC95% 43,4-76,0) presentaron valores de AMH por debajo de la normalidad tras la conclusión del tratamiento. Se realizó un análisis intermedio en el que se observó que el 86,6% (IC95% 71,9-95,6) de las pacientes recuperaban el ciclo menstrual, pero estas presentaban una reducción de los niveles de HAM. Conclusión: Aunque la mayoría de las pacientes presentaron recuperación de los ciclos menstruales, la reserva ovárica disminuyó en la mayoría de ellas, por lo que podemos concluir que la administración concomitante al tratamiento quimioterápico de análogos de la GnRH no preserva de la pérdida de la población folicular ovárica (AU)


Background and objective: In order to avoid the toxic effect of chemotherapy, it has been proposed to use GnRH agonist analogues (GnRHa) to inhibit the depletion of ovarian follicles. Nevertheless, there is controversy about its effectiveness. This clinical trial has been conducted with the aim to assess the protective effect of GnRH analogues on the reproductive capacity of women with malignancies or autoimmune diseases, which require chemotherapy. Patients and methods: Open phase ii single-center clinical trial. During chemotherapy, a total of 5 doses of GnRH antagonist analogue at a dose interval of 3 days and/or a monthly dose of GnRHa were administered. Hormonal determinations prior to the start of the CT treatment were conducted during treatment and at the end of it. Results: The inclusion of patients was prematurely concluded when incorporating the determination of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) as a parameter for assessing the ovarian reserve. Out of 38 patients, 23 (60.5%, 95%CI 43.4-76.0) had AMH values below normal following completion of treatment. An intermediate analysis was carried out observing that while most patients were recovering the menstrual cycle (86.6% 95%CI 71.9-95.6), they had reduced levels of AMH. Conclusion: Although most patients recovered their menstrual cycles, the ovarian reserve, assessed by the concentration of AMH, decreased in many patients. Therefore, we can conclude that the concomitant treatment of chemotherapy and GnRH analogues does not preserve the loss of follicular ovarian reserve (AU)
