RESUMO

Abstract Objective: Isolated aortic valve replacement is a safe and frequently performed cardiac surgical procedure. Although minimal access approaches including right anterior thoracotomy and partial sternotomy have been adopted by some surgeons in recent years, concerns about additional procedural morbidity and mortality during the early phase of the learning curve persist. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of the learning curve on outcomes for a single surgeon implementing a new minimal access aortic valve replacement service. Methods: Ninety-three patients undergoing minimal access aortic valve replacement performed by a single surgeon in our institution between October 2014 and March 2019 were analysed. Patients were divided into tertiles according to procedure order. Endpoints included peri-operative mortality and post-operative complications, and these were compared across tertiles to assess the impact of the learning curve on procedural outcomes. Results: Overall in-hospital mortality was 2.15% (n=2). Despite significantly longer cardiopulmonary bypass and cross-clamp duration in the early tertile, there was no significant difference in the rate of post-operative complications, post-operative length of stay or in-hospital mortality between tertiles. Conclusions: Although our results have demonstrated a significant learning curve effect associated with the introduction of this minimally invasive approach to aortic valve replacement, as demonstrated by the significant reduction in cardiopulmonary bypass and cross-clamp duration over time, our findings suggest that a minimal access aortic valve replacement service can be safely commenced by an experienced surgeon without concerns about the learning curve significantly affecting post-operative morbidity and mortality.

RESUMO

Abstract Introduction: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the anatomical deformations of the major vascular structures in the retrosternal area caused by adhesions following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Methods: This single-center, retrospective study included a total of 40 patients with a previous CABG who were admitted to our emergency unit for any reason and underwent a contrast-enhanced chest computed tomography (patient group) and 40 patients without previous cardiac surgery (control group) between January 2018 and November 2019. The retrosternal area was compared between the groups using the statistical shape analysis method. The distance between the sternum and the ascending aorta and pulmonary artery was measured and anatomical deformations of the retrosternal area were examined. Results: There was a statistically significant difference in the anatomical structures of the retrosternal area between the patient and control groups (P<0.001). The distance from the midsternal line to the highest point of the pulmonary artery was statistically significantly shorter in the patient group, compared to the control group (P=0.013). The distance from the sternum to the ascending aorta was also shorter in the patient group, although it did not reach statistical significance (P>0.05). Conclusions: Our study results showed narrowing of the retrosternal area following CABG and a shorter distance from the sternum to the pulmonary artery than the ascending aorta. Based on these findings, surgeons should be cautious about possible injuries in patients requiring cardiac surgery with repeated median sternotomy.

RESUMO

Abstract This study presents the method used for chest reconstruction and treatment of mediastinitis following cardiac surgery at the Heart Institute of the University of São Paulo Medical School. After infection control with antibiotic therapy associated with aggressive surgical debridement and negative pressure wound therapy, chest reconstruction is performed using flaps. The advantages and disadvantages of negative pressure wound therapy are discussed, as well as options for flap-based chest reconstruction according to the characteristics of the patient and sternum. Further studies are needed to provide evidence to support the decisions when facing this great challenge.

RESUMO

Abstract Introduction: The thoracoscopic procedure for tricuspid valve (TV) diseases is a minimally invasive method of treatment. This study focuses on comparing the changes in postoperative inflammatory reaction and myocardial injury markers after thoracoscopic and sternotomy/thoracotomy TV procedures. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 88 patients (53 males, aged 50.9±16.2 years) with TV diseases (single-valve disease) (72 cases of TV plasty) between January 2018 and April 2019. A total of 56 patients underwent thoracoscopic procedure (50 cases of TV plasty). The leukocyte and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels were monitored as indicators of systemic inflammatory reaction. The lactate dehydrogenase, creatine kinase, creatine kinase myocardial band, aspartate aminotransferase, and troponin-T levels were recorded as markers of myocardial injury. Results: The CRP and white blood cells levels of patients in the sternotomy approach group were continuously higher than those in patients in the thoracoscopic approach group. And the levels of myocardial enzymes in patients in the thoracoscopic approach group were significantly lower than those in patients in the sternotomy approach group. Conclusion: Compared with sternotomy/thoracotomy procedures on TV, the thoracoscopic procedure can reduce postoperative myocardial injury significantly and systemic inflammatory reaction to a certain extent. It is technically feasible, safe, effective, and worthy of widespread adoption in clinical practice.

RESUMO

Resumen Introducción: La cirugía de la válvula aórtica puede ser efectuada a través de una esternotomía reducida con menos trauma quirúrgico, una recuperación más rápida, mejores resultados cosméticos y excelentes resultados a largo plazo. Objetivo: Comunicar los resultados a largo plazo obtenidos con el abordaje mínimamente invasivo en el Hospital Regional de Temuco. Material y Método: Estudio de cohorte retrospectivo de 286 pacientes operados con técnica mini invasiva comparados con 1161 pacientes operados a través de esternotomía completa para reemplazo valvular aórtico por enfermedad valvular entre 2004 y 2019. La edad promedio fue 62,1±6,4 años. Para la canulación arterial y venosa se utilizaron cánulas de tamaño pequeño. El flujo de circulación extracorpórea promedio fue 4.5 L/min. Se utilizó cardioplejia sanguínea infundida por vía anterógrada y retrograda. Se utilizó estadística descriptiva con medidas de tendencia central y dispersión. Las variables categóricas fueron comparadas con el test de X^2 y las variables continuas con "t" test y ANOVA. La supervivencia actuarial se calculó mediante el método de Kaplan Meier con el programa Stata 14. Resultados: No hubo diferencia en la mortalidad a 30 días entre los grupos. Hallazgos similares se encontraron para arritmias, complicaciones cerebrales y bloqueo AV que requirió marcapasos. Hubo una diferencia estadísticamente significativa a favor del grupo de ministernotomía para reoperación por sangrado, días de estadía en UCI y estadía hospitalaria. El seguimiento promedio fue 101 ± 4 (1169 meses). La mayoría de los pacientes estaban en capacidad funcional I y libre de eventos cardiovasculares y reoperación. En el control post operatorio se hizo un ecocardiograma en el 86% de los pacientes mostrando buen resultado hemodinámico, similar en ambos grupos, y para distintas prótesis utilizadas. La probabilidad de sobrevida actuarial fue de 97% y la probabilidad de estar libre de eventos cardiovasculares fue 93% a 156 meses de seguimiento. Conclusión: La mini esternotomía es una técnica segura para la cirugía valvular aórtica con excelentes resultados en el largo plazo, permitiendo simplificar la cirugía, reducir los costos hospitalarios y permite una recuperación con menos secuelas cosméticas.


Abstract: Background: Aortic valve surgery can be performed through a reduced ministernotomy with less surgical trauma, improved cosmetics, faster recovery and excellent long-term results. Aim: To report the long-term results obtained with the minimally invasive approach technique in Southern Chile. Methods: A retrospective cohort study of 286 patients operated with the less invasive technique compared to 1161 patients operated on with full sternotomy for aortic valve replacement between 2004 and 2019 was performed. Arterial and venous cannulation was performed using small cannulas. Mean extracorporeal circulation flow was 4.5 L/min. Antegrade and retrograde cold cardioplegia was used. Statistical Analysis: Data are reported with measures of central tendency and dispersion. Categorical variables were compared with the X^2 test and ANOVA. Actuarial survival rate was calculated by Kaplan Meier method. The Stata 14 package was used for data analysis. Results: Demographic characteristics are shown in Table 1. Mean age of the whole cohort was 62.1 y/o (SD 6.4). There was no difference in 30 day mortality between groups. Incidence of arrhythmia, cerebral complications and AV block requiring pacemaker was similar between groups. There were no significant statistical differences in reoperation for bleeding, days of stay at the ICU and overall hospital stay. Mean follow up was 101 ± 4 (1169) months. After surgery most patients are in FC I and free from cardiac events and reoperation. In the postoperative period echocardiographic assessment was performed in 86% of patients showing similar hemodynamic function of the implanted valve. Actuarial survival rate was 97% and probability of freedom from cardiac events was 93% at 156 months of follow up. Conclusions: Ministernotomy is an excellent approach for aortic valve surgery which can be performed with very good results not inferior to those obtained with full sternotomy thus simplifying the surgical technique and reducing local hospital costs.

RESUMO

Abstract Minimally invasive aortic valve replacement has gained consent due to its good results in terms of minimized surgical trauma, faster rehabilitation, pain control and patient compliance. In our experience, we have tried to replicate the conventional and gold standard approach through a smaller incision. Sparing the right internal thoracic artery, avoiding rib fractures and performing total central cannulation is important to make this procedure minimally invasive from a biological point of view too. In addition, the total central cannulation is pivotal to simplify perfusion and drainage. Moreover, a complete step-by-step procedure optimization and-when possible-the use of sutureless prosthesis help to reduce the cross-clamping and perfusion times. After more than 1000 right anterior thoracotomy (RAT) aortic valve replacements, we have found tips and tricks to make our technique more effective.

RESUMO

Las heridas precordiales son una entidad poco frecuente y desafiante en cirugía de trauma en los servicios de Emergencia. La incidencia elevada de taponamiento y trauma cardiaco, así como su alta mortalidad obliga a tomar decisiones diagnósticas y terapéuticas rápidas y precisas. Material y Métodos: se presentan los casos de dos pacientes masculinos que ingresaron al servicio de Emergencia del Hospital Roosevelt con lesiones precordiales penetrantes con trauma pericárdico y cardiaco, con diferentes manifestaciones clínicas a los que se les realizó ventana pericárdica subxifoidea diagnóstica y seguido una esternotomía media con exposición pericárdica y cardiaca como abordaje y tratamiento quirúrgico definitivo. Discusión: Es de suma importancia reconocer los amplios escenarios de presentaciones clínicas del paciente con heridas en la región precordial y mantener un alto índice de sospecha de trauma y taponamiento cardiacos en todas las lesiones precordiales penetrantes en pacientes estables e inestables para no retrasar el diagnóstico y tratamiento quirúrgico temprano y adecuado. Las lesiones asociadas y complicaciones trans y postoperatorias aumentan la mortalidad de estos pacientes (AU)


Precordial wounds are rare and challenging lesions in Trauma Services. The high incidence of cardiac trauma and the high mortality requires fast and precise diagnostic and therapeutic decisions. Case report: Two male patients who were admitted to the Roosevelt Hospital Emergency Service with penetrating precordial injuries with pericardial and cardiac trauma are presented, with different clinical manifestations, who underwent a diagnostic subxiphoid pericardial window and a median sternotomy with pericardial and cardiac exposure as a definitive surgical approach and treatment. Discussion: Is important to recognize the broad scenarios of patients with wounds in the precordial region and to maintain a high index of suspicion of cardiac trauma and tamponade in all penetrating precordial injuries inclusive in stable patients to not delay diagnosis and treatment and a proper surgical intervention. Associated injuries and perioperative complications increase the mortality of these patients

RESUMO

El bocio intratorácico se define como aquel bocio que se encuentra parcial o totalmente en el mediastino; su incidencia está en relación con el bocio multinodular. Es asintomático entre el 20­30%. Su diagnóstico se hace por pruebas de imagen; su Gold estándar es la tomografía axial computarizada. El tratamiento más efectivo y recomendado es la cirugía, sobre todo para pacientes con síntomas opresivos o con sospecha de malignidad y bocios hiperfuncionantes en quienes el tratamiento farmacológico no fue exitoso. Se detalla el caso de una paciente de 59 años de edad, quien, con síntomas opresivos esternales, a quien se le diagnostica masa mediastínica, la cual se resuelve con indicación quirúrgica, siendo resolutiva para la paciente, con mejoras en la sintomatología y diagnostico de benignidad. (AU)


Intrathoracic goiter is defined as partially or totally in the mediastinum; its incidence is related to multinodular goiter. It is asymptomatic in 20-30%. Its diagnosis is made by imaging tests; the gold standard is computerized axial tomography. Treatment can be pharmacological with risk of recurrence; the most effective and recommended is surgery, especially for patients with oppressive symptoms or with suspected malignancy. We present the case of a 59-year-old patient with sternal oppressive symptoms, who is diagnosed with a mediastinal mass, which resolved by surgery, with improvements in symptoms and a diagnosis of benignity.

RESUMO

Abstract Objective: To investigate the safety and cost-effectiveness of preoperative cannulation and conventional approach techniques. Methods: Sixty-one patients who underwent redo open cardiac procedures between September 2015 and November 2018 were divided into two groups - Group A (n: 30), patients who underwent conventional cannulation after sternotomy, and Group B (n: 31), those who underwent cannulation before sternotomy. Patients were evaluated retrospectively for general complication rates and total hospital costs. Results: Mortality occurred in four patients from Group A and in one patient from Group B. Four patients required extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in Group A, whereas two required ECMO in Group B. Duration of total operation, cardiopulmonary bypass, and cross-clamp times were longer in the conventional surgery group than in the pre-sternotomy cannulation group (420.29±188.84 vs. 314.77±187.38, P=0.036; 171.87±85.59 vs. 141.7±82.47, P=0.089; and 102.94±70.67 vs. 60.97±52.81, P=0.009; respectively). Total blood and blood product usage were higher in Group A than in Group B. Postoperative intensive care unit stay was 62.77±145.3 hours vs. 25.13±73.11 hours, ventilation time was 5.16±5.09 hours vs. 3.03±2.78 hours, duration of ward stay was 5.23±2.52 days vs. 5.57±2.16 days, and duration of hospital stay was 9.58±5.85 days vs. 9.8±5.31 days in conventional sternotomy and pre-sternotomy cannulation groups, respectively. Total hospital costs were calculated 35863.52±20803.99 Turkish Liras (TL) in Group A and 25744.74±16472.03 TL in Group B (P=0,042). Conclusion: Venous and arterial cannulations before sternotomy decreased myocardial injury and complication rates, blood and blood product usage, hospital stay, and, consequently, hospital costs in our modest cohort.

RESUMO

Abstract Case Presentation: A case of a 49-year-old patient, male, victim of stab wound, developing belatedly cardiac tamponade and hemodynamic stability was reported. The patient underwent a pericardial window with drainage of pericardial effusion of blackened aspect; however, without visualization of the cardiac lesion, enlargement of the incision by median sternotomy was opted for. A hematoma was spotted at the left ventricle with epicardial lesion and a patch of pericardium was made with 3-0 polypropylene. The patient developed acute pulmonary edema and atrial fibrillation, which improved after the intensive care unit clinical management, with hospital discharge in the 7th postoperative day.

RESUMO

RESUMEN Introducción: Los teratomas se definen como tumores de tejidos extraños al órgano o sitio anatómico en el cual se originan. Los teratomas mediastinales no son frecuentes, representan alrededor del 5 por ciento al 10 por ciento de todos los tumores mediastinales. Objetivo: Describir los resultados del tratamiento quirúrgico de pacientes con diagnóstico de teratomas mediastinales. Métodos: Se estudiaron 12 pacientes tratados entre enero de 2001 y diciembre de 2018. Las variables evaluadas fueron sexo, edad, tipo histológico: maduro o inmaduro, vía de acceso quirúrgico, accidentes quirúrgicos y evolución postoperatoria. Resultados: Correspondieron 9 al sexo femenino y 3 al masculino. El promedio de edad fue de 33,3 años (17-60 años). Hubo predominio absoluto del tipo maduro (11). La esternotomía media fue el acceso más frecuente. La toracotomía se realizó cuando el tumor, voluminoso, ocupaba la mayor parte de un hemitórax. Los accidentes quirúrgicos fueron un desgarro pulmonar y una apertura del pericardio. De dos pacientes tratados mediante cirugía torácica videoasistida, uno fue convertido por sangrado venoso molesto. Al año de seguimiento todos estaban vivos, sin evidencias de recidiva. Conclusiones: Contrariamente a lo esperado, hay predominio del sexo femenino, mientras que la edad y el tipo histológico coinciden con la literatura. La esternotomía, aún hoy, es comúnmente aceptada, a pesar del auge de la cirugía torácica videoasistida. La resección total produce resultados excelentes para los teratomas benignos(AU)


ABSTRACT Introduction: Teratomas are defined as tumors of tissues foreign to the organ or anatomical site in which they originate. Mediastinal teratomas are rare, accounting for about 5-10 percent of all mediastinal tumors. Objective: To describe the outcomes of the surgical treatment of patients diagnosed with mediastinal teratomas. Methods: Twelve patients treated between January 2001 and December 2018 were studied. The variables evaluated were sex, age, histological type (mature or immature), surgical access route, surgical accidents, and postoperative evolution. Results: Nine patients corresponded to the female sex and three, to the male. The average age was 33.3 years (17-60 years). There was an absolute predominance of the mature type (11). Median sternotomy was the most frequent access. Thoracotomy was performed when the bulky tumor occupied most of a hemithorax. The surgical accidents were lung tear and opening of the pericardium. Of two patients treated by video-assisted thoracic surgery, one was converted for bothersome venous bleeding. At one year of follow-up, all were alive, with no evidence of recurrence. Conclusions: Contrary to expectations, there is predominance of the female sex, while age and histological type coincide with the literature. Sternotomy, even today, is commonly accepted, despite the rise of video-assisted thoracic surgery. Total resection produces excellent outcomes in benign teratomas(AU)

RESUMO

Abstract Objective: To compare the results of surgical repair via median sternotomy, right submammary thoracotomy, and right vertical infra-axillary thoracotomy for atrial septal defect (ASD). Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of the relative perioperative and postoperative data of 136 patients who underwent surgical repair for ASD with the abovementioned three different treatments in our hospital from June 2014 to December 2017. Results: The results of the surgeries were all satisfactory in the three groups. No statistically significant difference was found in operative time, duration of cardiopulmonary bypass, blood transfusion amount, postoperative mechanical ventilation time, duration of intensive care unit, length of hospital stay, and hospital costs. However, the median sternotomy group had the longest incision. Meanwhile, there was no significant difference in postoperative complications. Conclusion: All three types of surgical incisions can be safely and effectively used to repair ASD. The treatments via right submammary thoracotomy and right vertical infra-axillary thoracotomy have advantages over the treatment via median sternotomy in cosmetic results and should be the recommended options.

RESUMO

RESUMEN Introducción: Las neoplasias mediastinales son tumores poco frecuentes, pueden aparecer a cualquier edad, por lo general entre la tercera y quinta décadas y se descubren incidentalmente en una radiografía de tórax de rutina en pacientes asintomáticos. Objetivo: Caracterizar a los pacientes operados de tumores de mediastino según variables clínicas y quirúrgicas. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional, descriptivo, de tipo serie de casos con una muestra de 37 pacientes ingresados y operados en el Servicio de Cirugía General del Hospital Provincial Docente "Saturnino Lora" de Santiago de Cuba, con diagnóstico de tumor mediastinal durante los años 2010 a 2017. Resultados: La esternotomía fue la vía de acceso más utilizada y se logró efectuar exéresis completa en 31 enfermos. Primaron las variedades histológicas malignas (54,1 por ciento); solo hubo cuatro complicaciones posoperatorias de relevancia y dos fallecidos. Conclusión: Predominaron los tumores malignos en los que se identificó una amplia gama de variedades histológicas, atribuibles a las características del órgano afectado. La selección de la vía de entrada al tórax, así como el procedimiento quirúrgico estuvo condicionados por el lugar y tamaño del tumor en el mediastino. Los resultados quirúrgicos fueron favorables, avalados por el bajo número de complicaciones y nivel de mortalidad en la serie(AU)


ABSTRACT Introduction: Mediastinal neoplasms are rare tumors that may appear at any age, generally between the third and fifth decades of life, and incidentally discovered by a routine chest radiograph performed on asymptomatic patients. Objective: To characterize the patients operated on for mediastinal tumors according to selected surgical and evolutionary variables. Methods: An observational, descriptive and case series study was carried out with a sample of 37 patients hospitalized and operated on in the general surgery service at Saturnino Lora Teaching Provincial Hospital in Santiago de Cuba, with a diagnosis of mediastinal tumor, and during the years 2010 to 2017. Results: Sternotomy was the most widely used access route and complete exeresis was achieved in 31 patients. Malignant histological varieties prevailed (54.1 percent). There were only four relevant postoperative complications and two deaths. Conclusion: Malignant tumors predominated with a wide range of histological varieties identified, attributable to the characteristics of the affected organ. Selection of the access route into the thorax and the surgical procedure were conditioned by location and size of the tumor in the mediastine. The surgical outcomes were favorable, supported by the low number of complications and the level of mortality in the series(AU)

RESUMO

Abstract Background: Treatment of postoperative (PO) pain is essential after surgery, as it contributes to a faster rehabilitation. Assessment of PO pain after minimally invasive (MI) surgery has not been regularly addressed, especially when compared with median sternotomy (MS). Objective: This study aims to evaluate the intensity of thoracic pain in the PO period in patients subjected to MI surgery and MS. Methods: This study compared the intensity of thoracic pain in 34 patients subjected to minimally invasive (MI; n = 17) and median sternotomy (MS; n = 17) from June 2015 to June 2016. The intensity and sites of pain in the PO period, assessed using the visual numeric pain scale, and the need for pain medications were analyzed using the Student's t-test and the z test, with confidence level of 95% (p < 0.05). Results: Almost all patients reported pain on the third PO day (MS = 94.1% and MI = 88.2%; p = 0.5410). On the seventh PO day, there were significantly more patients free of pain in the group of patients subjected to the MI procedure (MS = 94.1% and MI = 64.7%; p = 0.0341). also, these patients reported fewer pain sites (3rd PO day: MS = 3.2 ± 1.5; MI = 1.5 ± 1.2; p = 0.001; 7th PO day: MS = 3.1 ± 1.4; MI = 0.9 ± 0.9; p = 0.000). Patients undergoing MS reported higher pain intensity and longer lasting pain (3rd PO: MS = 4.8 ± 2.2; MI = 3.0 ± 1.6; 7th PO: MS = 5.3 ± 2.0; MI = 1.2 ± 1.3; p = 0.001), with no difference in pain intensity between the third and the seventh PO days (p = 0.4931). In addition, patients subjected to MI procedure had a significant decrease in pain intensity from the third to the seventh PO days (p = 0.001). Conclusion: According to these results, we concluded that a MI procedure leads to lower intensity of pain in the PO period (from the third PO day on) when compared to a MS; also, patients undergoing MI patients reported fewer pain sites.

RESUMO

Abstract Introduction: Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) has significantly improved outcomes in individuals with superficial and deep sternal wound dehiscence (SWD). We report our experience with NPWT to evaluate factors influencing effectiveness, duration of treatment and postoperative hospital stay. Methods: We reviewed 92 patients with postoperative SWD following a median sternotomy. Patients were divided into 2 groups: those with a superficial SWD (Group 1; 72, 78%) and those with a deep SWD (Group 2; 20, 28%). Group 1 was further divided into 3 subgroups based on NPWT duration. Results: In both groups, none of the preoperative characteristics examined showed a significant association with longer NPWT duration. In Group 2, there was a trend for postoperative bleeding and neurological complications to be associated with longer treatment duration. In the entire series, staph infection resulted a weak predictor of NPWT duration. In each Group 1 subgroup and in Group 2, treatment days were compared with duration of hospitalization until discharge. Mean post-NPWT hospital stay was 6 days in subgroup 1, 12 days in subgroup 2 and 20 days in subgroup 3 (P<0.0001). At a median 3-year follow-up, there were 4 late deaths, none related to wound complications. No cases of SWD recurrence were observed. Conclusion: Our results confirm the effectiveness of NPWT in SWD management, while excessive treatment duration might have a negative impact on the length of hospital stay. Further studies are needed to define an optimal use of NPWT protocol.

ABSTRACT We present a 54-year-old patient with a history of high blood pressure, admitted to the internal medicine service with severe chest pain, accompanied by a lack of air of moderate intensity, decay, cough and difficulty for swallowing, especially solid foods. Through complementary studies, an anterior mediastinal tumor is diagnosed, which motivates her transfer to the general surgery service. In the surgical act, abscess of the anterior mediastinum is verified and drained by means of median sternotomy. The patient evolves favorably and is discharged 12 days after the surgical intervention(AU)
