ABSTRACT

INTRODUÇÃO: Resultados favoráveis foram relatados com estimulação direta do sistema de excito-condutor cardíaco, o que tem motivado a inclusão desta técnica em recomendações e diretrizes atuais. Entretanto, não há dados disponíveis dessa prática no Brasil. OBJETIVOS: Descrever as características demográficas, eletrocardiográficas e ecocardiográficas assim como os achados intra e peri-operatórios dos pacientes submetidos a estimulação fisiológica no Brasil. MÉTODOS: Trata-se de um registro multicêntrico realizado em 15 centros no Brasil. A técnica cirúrgica utilizada seguiu a rotina dos centros participantes. RESULTADOS: 180 pacientes (64,9% homens, 74,8±12,5 anos) foram incluídos na análise entre maio e setembro de 2021. Características clínicas: 82,7% eram hipertensos, 33,5% diabéticos, 51,9% tinham antecedente de sincope, 23,2% DAC e 0,7% doença de Chagas; 76,7% apresentavam-se em CF-NYHA I ou II. A cardiopatia subjacente e o motivo do implante estão ilustrados na figura 1. Em 13,5% dos pacientes, o CDI foi concomitantemente indicado. Quanto aos achados eletrocardiográficos, 89,2% dos pacientes apresentavam-se em ritmo sinusal e 10,8% em FA/flutter atrial. O QRS basal médio era de 131±32ms; 28,1% dos pacientes apresentavam BRE e 31,4% BRD. A FEVE média foi de 54,14±16,66%. Todos os centros reportaram sucesso do implante. O tempo médio de fluoroscopia foi de 17,6±14,5min e a duração média do procedimento 81,8±43,8. Dispositivo bicameral foi predominante na maior parte dos casos (figura 2). Em 75,1% dos casos, o eletrodo ventricular foi posicionado no RE/septo profundo (LVAT médio 77,7±10,7ms, potencial de RE reportado em 25,7%) enquanto o feixe de His foi a posição escolhida em 24,9% dos casos. Em 6,6% dos pacientes procedeu-se HOT/LOT-CRT. A onda R média foi 9,8mV e o limiar de captura 1,17V x 1,0ms. A duração média do QRS final foi 107,46 ± 18,6ms. As taxas de complicações foram baixas (figura 3). CONCLUSÕES: O implante de marcapasso fisiológico é factível e seguro. As características dos pacientes incluídos nesse registro brasileiro, a preferência quanto ao tipo de estimulação (RE) e os resultados intra e pós operatórios precoces estão alinhados com as publicações internacionais mais recentes.

ABSTRACT

Background The use of ionizing radiation in medical procedures is associated with significant health risks for patients and the health care team. Objectives Evaluate the safety and acute efficacy of ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) and supraventricular arrhythmias (SVTs) using an exclusively non-fluoroscopic approach guided by intracardiac echo (ICE) and 3D-mapping. Methods 95 pts (mean age 60 ± 18 years, 61% male) scheduled for AF Ablation (69 pts, 45 paroxysmal AF and 24 persistent AF) or non-AF SVT (26 pts - 14 AV node reentry, 6 WPW, 5 right atrial (RA) flutters, 1 atrial tachycardia) underwent zero fluoro procedures. Nine patients (9.5%) had permanent pacemakers or defibrillator resynchronization (CRT-D) devices. Both CARTO (65%) and NAVx (35%) mapping systems were used, as well as Acunav and ViewFlex ICE catheters. Results Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI), as well as all other targets that needed ablation in both atria were reached and adequately visualized. No pericardial effusions, thrombotic complications or other difficulties were seen in these series. Difficult transseptal puncture (19 patients - 20%) was managed without fluoroscopy in all cases. No backup fluoroscopy was used, and no lead apparel was needed. Pacemaker interrogations after the procedure did not show any lead damage, dislocation, or threshold changes. Conclusions A radiation-free (fluoroless) catheter ablation strategy for AF and other atrial arrhythmias is acutely safe and effective when guided by adequate ICE and 3D-mapping utilization. Multiple different bi-atrial sites were reached and adequately ablated without the need for backup fluoroscopy. No complications were seen. (Arq Bras Cardiol. 2020; 114(6):1015-1026).

ABSTRACT

Resumo Fundamento O uso da radiação ionizante em procedimentos médicos está associado a riscos significativos à saúde dos pacientes e da equipe de saúde. Objetivos Avaliar a segurança e a eficácia aguda da ablação por cateter para tratamento da fibrilação atrial (FA) e arritmias supraventriculares (SVTs), utilizando uma abordagem exclusivamente não fluoroscópica, guiada por eco intracardíaco (ICE) e mapeamento 3D. Métodos 95 pts (idade média 60 ± 18 anos, 61% do sexo masculino) programados para ablação de FA (69 pts, 45 FA paroxística e 24 FA persistente) ou SVTs (26 pts - 14 reentrada nodal, 6 Wolf-Parkinson-White [WPW], 5 flutter atrial direito [AD], 1 taquicardia atrial). Nove pacientes (9,5%) tinham marcapasso definitivo ou dispositivos de ressincronização com desfibrilador. Dois sistemas de mapeamento eletroanatômico foram utilizados - CARTO (65%) e NAVx (35%), bem como cateteres de ICE disponíveis - Acunav e ViewFlex. Resultados O isolamento das veias pulmonares (VPs), bem como todos os outros alvos que precisavam de ablação em ambos os átrios, foram alcançados e adequadamente visualizados. Não foram observados derrames pericárdicos, complicações trombóticas ou outras intercorrências nesta série. Punções transseptais difíceis (19 pacientes - 20%) foram realizadas sem fluoroscopia em todos os casos. Não foi utilizada fluoroscopia de backup, e nenhum vestuário de chumbo foi necessário. Avaliações detalhadas dos marcapassos após o procedimento não mostraram nenhum dano aos eletrodos, deslocamentos ou mudanças de limiar. Conclusões Uma estratégia de ablação por cateter sem uso de radiação para FA e outras arritmias atriais é segura e eficaz quando guiada pela utilização adequada do ICE e do mapeamento 3D. Diversos sítios em ambos os átrios podem ser alcançados e adequadamente ablacionados sem a necessidade de fluoroscopia de backup. Não foram observadas complicações.

ABSTRACT

AIM: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a valid therapeutic option for patients with heart failure (HF). However, the elderly population was not well represented in the guidelines. The primary end point was to evaluate the impact of advanced age on clinical response and cardiovascular and total mortality of patients undergoing CRT. The secondary end point was to assess the rate of acute complications related to the procedure. METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 249 consecutive patients with HF and optimized treatment, QRS ≥ 120 ms, ejection fraction (EF) ≤ 35% and functional class (FC) III/ IV (NYHA) underwent CRT and divided into 3 groups: Group I-< 65 years-88/ 249 (35%); Group II- 65 to 75 years (old)- 72/ 249 (29%); Group III-≥ 75 years (very old)- 89/ 249 (36%). The improvement in FC and increase in EF (>10%) and/ or decrease in the left ventricular end systolic diameter (LVESD) >15% were the criteria of responsiveness. The favorable clinical response (p = ns) and cardiovascular mortality (p = 0.737) was similar in the 3 groups. In the group of very old patients, a significant increase in total mortality was observed (p = 0.03). The rate of acute complications related to the procedure did not differ between the groups (p = ns). CONCLUSION: The response to CRT and cardiovascular mortality were not affected by the advanced age and should not be an exclusion factor of this therapy. The procedure has been shown to be safe in elderly patients due to low rate of acute complications.

ABSTRACT

Os cabos-eletrodos de cardiodesfibriladores com revestimento de silicone Riata e Riata ST foramextensamente implantados entre os anos de 2003 e 2010. Sua distribuição, porém, foi interrompida após aobservação de exteriorização dos condutores por falha do isolante em diversos casos de mau funcionamento.Esses cabos-eletrodos foram classificados como classe I de recall pelo Food and Drug Administration. Diversosestudos foram realizados desde então para se determinar a incidência e a prevalência de extrusão dos condutores epara avaliar sua correlação com falha elétrica. Também tem sido estudado o melhor método de rastreio e como seconduzir os pacientes portadores desses cabos-eletrodos.


The cardioverter-defibrillator leads with Riata silicone coating and Riata ST were widely deployed between 2003 and 2010. Its distribution, however, was discontinued after observation of externalization of conductors due to insulation failure in several cases of malfunction. These leads were classified as Class I Recall by the Food and Drug Administration. Several studies have been performed since then to determine the incidence and prevalence of extrusion of the conductors and to evaluate their correlation with electrical failure. The best screening method and how to conduct patients with these leads have also been investigated.

ABSTRACT

The evaluation of the defibrillation threshold (DFT) during the implantation of a cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) is an important stage of the procedure, as a high DFT can be found in up to 16% of patients. We report a patient with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) submitted to a biventricular ICD implantation. During the procedure, the patient showed a high DFT and showed to be resistant to usual therapeutic modalities. We opted for the azygos vein defibrillation lead implantation, with good resolution.

ABSTRACT

In the past two years we observed several changes in the diagnostic and therapeutic approach of patients with acute heart failure (acute HF), which led us to the need of performing a summary update of the II Brazilian Guidelines on Acute Heart Failure 2009. In the diagnostic evaluation, the diagnostic flowchart was simplified and the role of clinical assessment and echocardiography was enhanced. In the clinical-hemodynamic evaluation on admission, the hemodynamic echocardiography gained prominence as an aid to define this condition in patients with acute HF in the emergency room. In the prognostic evaluation, the role of biomarkers was better established and the criteria and prognostic value of the cardiorenal syndrome was better defined. The therapeutic approach flowcharts were revised, and are now simpler and more objective. Among the advances in drug therapy, the safety and importance of the maintenance or introduction of beta-blockers in the admission treatment are highlighted. Anticoagulation, according to new evidence, gained a wider range of indications. The presentation hemodynamic models of acute pulmonary edema were well established, with their different therapeutic approaches, as well as new levels of indication and evidence. In the surgical treatment of acute HF, CABG, the approach to mechanical lesions and heart transplantation were reviewed and updated. This update strengthens the II Brazilian Guidelines on Acute Heart Failure to keep it updated and refreshed. All clinical cardiologists who deal with patients with acute HF will find, in the guidelines and its summary, important tools to help them with the clinical practice for better diagnosis and treatment of their patients.

ABSTRACT

A fibrilação atrial (FA) é a arritmia cardíaca mais comumente encontrada na prática clínica, por vezes associada a cardiopatias estruturais, porém muitas vezes ocorrendo em corações estruturalmente normais. Nos últimos 10 anos, avanços significativos no entendimento de sua fisiopatologia levaram à possibilidade de tratamentos intervencionistas visando à eliminação da arritmia, redução dos sintomas e, principalmente, do risco tromboembólico associado. Destes, destacam-se o uso de novos anticoagulantes de mais fácil manejo clínico, a ablação por cateter e a oclusão percutânea do apêndice atrial esquerdo


Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia in clinical practice, commonly associated with structural heart disease but many times occurring in completely normal hearts. In the past 10 years, significant advances in the understanding of its pathophysiology lead to new interventional treatment options aimed at arrhythmia elimination, symptom reduction and, mostly, reduction on the associated thromboembolic risk. Among them, use of new anticoagulants that are easier to manage, catheter ablation and percutaneous occlusion of the left atrial appendage are the most relevant

ABSTRACT

A avaliação do limiar de desfibrilação (DFT) durante o implante do cardioversor-desfibrilador (CDI) é uma etapa relevante do procedimento, uma vez que, em até 16% dos pacientes, podemos encontrar elevados DFT. Relatamos o caso de um paciente portador de cardiomiopatia dilatada (CMPD) idiopática submetido a implante de CDI biventricular. Durante o procedimento, apresentou elevado DFT e se mostrou resistente às modalidades terapêuticas usuais. Optamos pelo implante de eletrodo de desfibrilação em veia ázigos, com resolução do quadro.

ABSTRACT

FUNDAMENTO: O manejo ideal da anticoagulação oral (ACO) no período pré- e pós-ablação de fibrilação atrial (FA) ainda é motivo de controvérsia. OBJETIVO: Comparar duas estratégias de anticoagulação: suspensão da warfarina com a utilização de heparina de baixo peso molecular (HBPM) e a realização da ablação sem a suspensão da warfarina, mantendo o RNI terapêutico (entre 2,0 e 3,0). MÉTODOS: 140 pacientes (pt) portadores de FA persistente/ permanente submetidos à ablação por cateter de FA foram divididos em dois grupos: no grupo I (70 pt), a warfarina foi suspensa cinco dias antes do procedimento e utilizada terapia de transição com HBPM (enoxaparina 1 mg/kg 2x/dia pré-ablação e 0,5 mg/kg 2x/dia após o procedimento); no grupo II (70 pt), a warfarina não foi suspensa e o procedimento foi realizado com RNI terapêutico. Ambos os grupos receberam heparina intravenosa (TCA > 350 seg) durante o procedimento. RESULTADOS: No Grupo I, observou-se complicação hemorrágica maior (1,4 por cento) e 4 pt (5,7 por cento) com complicações hemorrágicas menores. No Grupo II, 2 pt (2,8 por cento) apresentaram complicações hemorrágicas menores e 1 pt apresentou sangramento maior; porém, este ocorreu após uso de HBPM por RNI < 2,0. Não houve complicação tromboembólica ou morte cardiovascular nos dois grupos após 16 ± 8 meses. CONCLUSÃO: A realização de ablação por cateter de FA sem a suspensão de ACO e RNI terapêutico é uma estratégia semelhante em segurança e eficácia quando comparada à tradicional transição com HBPM, evitando um período inicial pós-ablação de anticoagulação potencialmente inadequada.


BACKGROUND: The ideal management of oral anticoagulation (OAC) before and after catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) is still controversial. OBJECTIVE: To compare two anticoagulation strategies for catheter ablation for AF: warfarin withholding and use of low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH); and maintenance of warfarin and therapeutic INR (between 2.0 and 3.0). METHODS: 140 patients (pt) with persistent/permanent AF undergoing catheter ablation for AF were divided into two groups: Group I (70 pt), in which warfarin was withheld five days prior to the procedure and transition to LMWH was used (enoxaparin: 1 mg/kg 2x/day before ablation, and 0.5 mg/kg 2x/day after ablation); Group II (70 pt), in which warfarin was not withheld and the procedure was performed with therapeutic INR. Both groups received intravenous heparin (ACT > 350 seconds) during ablation. RESULTS: In Group I, one pt (1.4 percent) had a major hemorrhagic complication and four pts (5.7 percent) had minor hemorrhagic complications. In Group II, two pts (2.8 percent) had minor hemorrhagic complications and one pt had a major bleeding, which occurred after using LMWH due to INR < 2.0. None of the groups had thromboembolic complications or cardiovascular death over a period of 16 ± 8 months. CONCLUSION: Catheter ablation for AF without withholding OAC and with therapeutic INR is a strategy that has similar safety and efficacy when compared with the traditional transition to LMWH, avoiding the potentially inadequate anticoagulation of the initial post-ablation period.

ABSTRACT

Fundamentos: A fibrilação atrial está associada a maior risco de eventos embólicos. O apêndice atrial esquerdoé a principal fonte de trombos.Objetivos: Avaliar a segurança e descrever a técnica de oclusão por cateter do apêndice atrial esquerdo.Métodos: Dois pacientes (um masculino com 79 anos e outro feminino com 91 anos) com fibrilação atrial, alto risco tromboembólico e contraindicação à anticoagulação foram submetidos à oclusão do apêndice atrial por viapercutânea. Resultados: Em ambos os casos, a prótese foi liberada sem fluxo residual, com completa exclusão da circulação e sem complicações. Os pacientes foram mantidos com dupla antiagregação plaquetária por três meses. Conclusões: A oclusão percutânea do apêndice atrialesquerdo é um novo e efetivo método para prevenção de eventos embólicos em pacientes com fibrilação atrial.
