ABSTRACT

La hipertensión arterial pulmonar (HAP) representa el 2,6% de los trasplantes pulmonares (TP), con una mediana de supervivencia condi cional (desde los 30 días del TP) de 9,8 años. Son frecuentes, el rechazo celular agudo (ACR) y la disfunción crónica del injerto (CLAD), mientras que es infrecuente el rechazo mediado por anticuerpos (AMR). El retrasplante pulmonar (RTP) constituye el 4% del TP mundial, debido a complicaciones en la vía aérea, disfunción primaria del injerto, ACR y CLAD. Mujer de 22 años, portadora de HAP idiopática (HAPI) desde el año 2013, trasplantada bipulmonar (TBP) en enero de 2018. A los 16 meses presentó neumonía adquirida en la comuni dad. En una internación posterior, presentó ACR y a pesar de pulsos de metilprednisolona, progresó a requerimientos de cánula de alto flujo y ventilación mecánica no invasiva hospitalaria, caída del VEF1, y tomografía de tórax con vidrio esmerilado difuso y engrosamiento irregular reticular del intersticio subpleural; interpretándose como CLAD a predominio de síndrome de bronquiolitis obliterante (BOS), con presencia de anticuerpos específicos contra el donante (DSA). En enero de 2020 se realizó nuevo TP y ante cross-match positivo, se realizó plasmaféresis y reposición de IgG. Al mes del egreso, no se observaron signos de rechazo en control de biopsias transbronquiales. Entre 2 y 10% de los pacientes con indicación primaria de TP por HAPI son sometidos a retrasplante pulmonar (RTP). La presencia de DSA y el miss-match de HLA, no son contraindicaciones para el RTP.


Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) represents 2.6% of lung transplantations (LT), with a conditional median survival (from 30 days after LT) of 9.8 years. Acute cellular rejection (ACR) and chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) are common; whereas the antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) is not. Lung retransplantation (LR) accounts for 4% of global LTs for complications in the airways, primary allograft dys function, ACR and CLAD. 22-year-old woman with idiopathic PAH (IPAH) since 2013, who underwent a double-lung transplantation (DLT) in January 2018. 16 months after transplantation she presented community-acquired pneumonia. During a subsequent hospitalization, she presented ACR. Despite the fact that she received pulse methylprednisolone, she required high-flow cannula therapy and hospital non-invasive mechanical ventilation; the FEV1 was reduced and she underwent a chest tomography with diffuse ground glass opacities and irregular reticular thickening of the subpleural interstitium; interpreting the predominance of BOS (bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome) as CLAD, with presence of donor-specific antibodies (DSA). In January 2020, she received a new DLT and due to a positive crossmatch, she was treated with plasmapheresis and IgG replacement. One month after hospital discharge, no signs of rejection were observed at the BTB (bone-patellar tendon-bone) control. Between 2 to 10% of patients with primary indication of LT for IPAH are subjected to lung retransplantation (LR). The presence of DSA and HLA (human leucocyte antigen) mismatch aren't contraindications to LR.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La hipertensión arterial pulmonar es una enfermedad con una baja incidencia en la gestante, aunque trae consigo una alta mortalidad una vez presentada. Un diagnóstico oportuno y un manejo perioperatorio adecuado minimizan el riesgo de desenlace fatal tanto para la madre como el feto. Objetivo: Describir el comportamiento de la hipertensión arterial pulmonar en la gestante a término y su conducción anestésica. Presentación del caso: Paciente de 23 años, antecedentes de salud, edad gestacional de 35.2 semanas. Luego de presentar dolor de espalda y ardor en el pecho relacionado con el esfuerzo, palpitaciones, disnea y bloqueo de rama derecha en electrocardiograma, se ingresa en UTI con sospecha de tromboembolismo pulmonar, el cual queda descartado tras diagnóstico confirmatorio de hipertensión pulmonar después de realizar angio TAC y ecocardiografía. Se decide realizar cesárea programada bajo técnica regional peridural, sin complicaciones tanto para la madre como el niño. Después de 2 días bajo vigilancia intensiva se traslada a su centro hospitalario de cabecera. Conclusiones: La vía del parto, así como una elección adecuada de la técnica anestésica, puede ser la diferencia entre el éxito y la fatalidad. Las técnicas regionales suelen recomendarse por encima de la técnica de anestesia general siempre que no se presenten contraindicaciones(AU)


Introduction: Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a disease with low incidence in the pregnant woman, although it brings about high mortality once presented. Timely diagnosis and adequate perioeprative management minimize the risk of fatal outcome for both mother and fetus. Objective: To describe pulmonary arterial hypertension and its anesthetic management in the term pregnant woman. Case presentation: 23-year-old female patient, with health history and gestational age of 35.2 weeks. After presenting back pain and chest burning associated with exertion, palpitations, dyspnea and right bundle branch block in the electrocardiogram, the patient was admitted to the intensive care unit with suspected pulmonary thromboembolism, which was ruled out due to the confirmatory diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension after performing computerized tomography angiography and echocardiography. Scheduled cesarean section was decided to be perform using the regional peridural technique, without complications for both the mother and the child. After two days under intensive surveillance, she was transferred to her primary hospital. Conclusions: The route of delivery, as well as an adequate choice of the anesthetic technique, can be the difference between success and fatality. Regional techniques are usually recommended over the general anesthesia technique, as long as there are no contraindications(AU)

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Recent advances in genetics have led to the discovery of new genes associated with pulmonary arterial hypertension, such as TBX4 and KCNK3. The phenotype and prognosis associated with these new genes have been scarcely described and their role in the Spanish population is unknown. The aim of this study was to characterize the genetics of a Spanish cohort of patients with idiopathic and hereditary pulmonary arterial hypertension and to describe the phenotype and prognostic factors associated with BMPR2 and the new genes (KCNK3 and TBX4). METHODS: A total of 165 adult patients were screened for BMPR2, KCNK3, and TBX4 mutations, 143 with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension and 22 with hereditary pulmonary arterial hypertension. Baseline characteristics and survival were compared among the different subgroups and predictors of poor outcomes were analyzed. We also performed family screening. RESULTS: The genetic study identified a possibly associated mutation in 11.10% of the idiopathic cases (n = 16) and in 68.18% of the hereditary cases (n = 15). There were 19 mutations in BMPR2, 4 in TBX4, and 3 in KCNK3. The forms associated with TBX4 showed the highest survival rate (P < .01). Advanced functional class at diagnosis was the only factor associated with poor outcomes in the hereditary forms. In the family screening, 37.5% of relatives tested positive. CONCLUSIONS: The genetics of pulmonary arterial hypertension in the Spanish population may differ from other populations, with a lower proportion of BMPR2 causative mutations. In our cohort, TBX4-related forms of pulmonary arterial hypertension showed a more benign course and late diagnosis was the only predictor of adverse outcomes in the hereditary forms of the disease.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo. Describir la tasa de mortalidad anual por hipertensión arterial pulmonar idiopática (HAPI) en la República Argentina durante un lapso de diez años (2000-2009). Materiales y métodos. Se incluyeron todos los fallecimientos identificados con el número de registro I27.0 (CIE10) de la base de datos de la Dirección de Estadística e Información de Salud del Ministerio de Salud, Presidencia de la Nación, República Argentina. Los datos poblacionales fueron obtenidos del Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas y Censos de la República Argentina. Resultados. Entre los años 2000 y 2009 la tasa anual de mortalidad por HAPI en Argentina fue relativamente constante y osciló entre 1,39 y 2,39 muertes/1.000.000 habitantes. Fue más alta en las mujeres (1,76 a 3,16/1.000.000) que en los varones (0,9 a 2,11/1.000.000). El número más elevado de muertos por HAPI en los adultos se registró en el grupo de los mayores de 70 años. Las tasas de mortalidad más altas se encontraron en las provincias de Tierra del Fuego (31,42/1.000.000) y San Juan (17,61/1.000.000). Sin embargo, la superposición de los IC 95% de las tasas de mortalidad específica, ajustadas por edad y sexo, en el año 2009, sugiere que no hay diferencias significativas de mortalidad por HAPI entre las provincias. Conclusiones. En nuestro conocimiento éste es el primer estudio de las tasas de mortalidad por HAPI en la Argentina durante una década. La información obtenida puede servir de base para realizar, oportunamente, estudios más detallados de mortalidad específica. Parece necesario implementar un registro nacional de esta enfermedad para disponer de una información más confiable y poder promover la estandarización de las conductas diagnósticas y terapéuticas en todo el país, optimizando los recursos disponibles.


Objetive. To describe the annual mortality rate due to idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) in Argentina for a period of ten years (2000-2009). Materials and methods. The study included all I27.0 (ICD-10) coded deaths on the database of the Statistics and Health Information Board (Dirección de Estadística e Información de Salud: DEIS) of the Ministry of Health, National Presidency, Argentina. Population data were obtained from the National Institute of Statistics and Census (Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas y Censos: INDEC), Argentina. Results. Between 2000 and 2009 the IPAH annual mortality rate in Argentina was relatively constant and ranged between 1.39 and 2.39 deaths/1,000,000 inhabitants. It was higher in women (1.76 to 3.16/1,000,000) than in men (0.9 to 2.11/1,000,000). In adults, the highest number of IPAH deaths was recorded in the age group over 70 years. The highest mortality rates were recorded in the provinces of Tierra del Fuego (31.42/1,000,000) and San Juan (17.61/1,000,000). However, the overlap of the 95% of the specific mortality rates, adjusted for age and sex, in 2009, suggesting no significant difference in IPAH mortality between provinces. Conclusions. To our knowledge this is the first study of mortality rates from IPAH in Argentina for a period of 10 years. The information obtained can eventually become a basis for more detailed studies of specific mortality. It seems necessary to implement a national registry of this disease to provide more reliable information and to promote the standardization of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures nationwide, optimizing available resources.

As maiores taxas de mortalidade foram registradas nas províncias de Tierra del Fuego (31,42/1.000.000) e San Juan (17,61/1.000.000). No entanto, a sobreposição de 95% das taxas de mortalidade específicas, ajustadas por idade e sexo, em 2009, sugerindo que não houve diferença significativa na mortalidade por HAPI entre as províncias. Conclusões. Para nosso conhecimento, este é o primeiro estudo de taxas de mortalidade por HAPI na Argentina por um período de 10 anos. A informação obtida pode eventualmente tornar-se uma base para estudos mais detalhados de mortalidade específica. Afigura-se necessário para implementar um registro nacional desta doença para fornecer informações mais seguras e para promover a padronização de procedimentos diagnósticos e terapêuticos em todo o país, otimizando os recursos disponíveis.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Conocer más de la relación presión arterial pulmonar media/índice cardiaco y sus perfiles en enfermos con hipertensión arterial pulmonar idiopática. Métodos: La presión arterial pulmonar media/índice cardiaco y la presión extrapolada al eje de cero flujo se obtuvo en 40 enfermos respirando aire ambiente, oxígeno 99.5% e hidralazina. Se obtuvieron dos grupos de acuerdo a criterios de "respuesta vasodilatadora aguda", respondedores (n = 20) y no respondedores (n = 20). Se analizó este criterio versus el propuesto por la Task Force de la Sociedad Europea de Cardiología en la población respondedora. Resultados: La presión arterial pulmonar media/Índice cardiaco se ubicó de forma anormal en el diagrama de presión-flujo de la cohorte total, (p < 0.01). Sin alteraciones en el intercambio gaseoso o mecánica pulmonar. Para los enfermos respondedores versus no respondedores, la pendiente fue anormal 2.2 (95%IC:1.1-3.3) vs. 5.89 (95%IC:4.69-7.11) mm Hg/L min/m² e incremento de la presión extrapolada al eje de cero flujo (38.2 ± 7.5 a 66.3 ± 7.5 mm Hg, p < 0.01). Sin diferencias con oxígeno al 99.5%. Con vasodilatador, la presión arterial pulmonar media disminuyó (52.1 ± 9.5 a 40 ± 5.5 mm Hg, p < 0.01) vs. no se modificó (96.2 ± 8.5 vs. 90 ± 7.5 mmHg, p = 0.3), pendiente 1.15 (95%IC:0.68-1.62) vs. 1.28 (95%IC:0.78-1.78) mmHg/Lmin/m², la presión extrapolada al eje de cero flujo no cambió vs. incrementó (69.4 ± 7.8 a 85.1 ± 8.5 mm Hg, p < 0.01), en relación al control. En no respondedores con vasodilatador, la presión arterial pulmonar media/índice cardiaco (90 ± 7.5 mmHg, pendiente:1.28; 95%IC: 0.78 - 1.78 mm Hg/L min/m²) fue diferente al comparar respondedores con menor o mayor de 40 mm Hg de presión arterial pulmonar media. Presiones 34 ± 3 vs. 45 ± 4 mm Hg y pendientes 1.14 (95%IC: 0.67 -1.61 vs. 2.22 (95%IC: 1.35 - 3.09 mm Hg/L min/m²), respectivamente p < 0.01. Conclusiones: Las anormalidades de la relación presión arterial pulmonar media/Índice cardiaco reflejan el incremento de las resistencias vasculares pulmonares reales a nivel arteriolar pulmonar en enfermos con hipertensión arterial pulmonar idiopática. Ambos criterios de respuesta vasodilatadora aguda son de utilidad para identificar respondedores y no, en esta población de enfermos.


Objectives: We analyze exercise-derived mean pulmonary artery pressure/cardiac index relationship to expand the concepts regarding its nature and to better identify "responders" in idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension patients. Methods: Mean pulmonary artery pressure/cardiac index relationship and extrapolated pressure to zero flow were obtained in 40 patients' breathing room air, oxygen 99.5% and hydralazine. The hemodynamic characteristics were analyzed for the cohort and separate for responders (n = 20) and non responders (n = 20) according to the acute response to vasodilator. We tested this previous criteria versus the Task Force on diagnosis and treatment prescribed by the European Society of Cardiology. Results: The mean pulmonary arterial pressure/cardiac index was located abnormally in the pressure-flow diagram of the total cohort (p < 0.01). No alterations in gas exchange or lung mechanics. For patients responders versus non-responders, the slope was abnormal 2.2 (95% CI:1.1-3.3) vs. 5.89 (95% CI: 4.69 - 7.11), mm Hg/L min/m² and increased extrapolated pressure to zero flow (38.2 ± 7.5 to 66.3 ± 7.5 mm Hg, p <0.01). Without difference with oxygen 99.5%. With vasodilator effect, mean pulmonary arterial pressure decreased (52.1 ± 9.5 to 40 ± 5.5 mm Hg, p <0.01) versus it did not change (96.2 ± 8.5 versus 90 ± 7.5 mm Hg, p=0.3), slope 1.15 (95% CI: 0.68 - 1.62) vs. 1.28 (95% CI: 0.78-1.78) mmHg/L min/m², the extrapolated pressure to zero flow did not change (69.4 ± 7.8 to 85.1 ± 8.5 mm Hg), p <0.01, compared to control. In non-responders with vasodilator, mean pulmonary arterial pressure/cardiac index (90 ± 7.5 mmHg, slope: 1.28, 95% CI :0.78 - 1.78 mm Hg/L min/m²) was different between responders < or > 40 mmHg mean pulmonary arterial pressure. Pressures were 34 ± 3 vs. 45 ± 4 mm Hg and slopes 1.14 (95% CI: 0.67 - 1.61) vs. 2.22(95% CI: 1.35 - 3.09) mm Hg/L min/m², p <0.01, respectively.. Conclusions: Abnormalities of the mean pulmonary arterial pressure/cardiac index relationship exercise-derived seems to reflect "mainly arteriolar" increased lineal pulmonary vascular resistance in idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension patients. Both acute vasodilator response criteria are useful to identify responders and not responders in this patient population.
