ABSTRACT

La sífilis es causada por Treponema pallidum, es reconocida por la variedad de sus manifestaciones clínicas; compromete el sistema nervioso, tegumentario y cardiovascular. Las alteraciones cardiovasculares ocurren en 70% de los casos con sífilis no tratada, el 71% de las aortitis sifilíticas desarrollan aneurismas aórticos y la complicación más frecuente es la insuficiencia aórtica. El tratamiento va dirigido a la enfermedad subyacente, con manejo antibiótico para la sífilis terciaria y las complicaciones tromboembólicas y si requiere reparación quirúrgica. Presentamos un caso poco frecuente de un paciente diagnosticado de infección por el virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana y complicaciones cardiovasculares típicas de la sífilis terciaria, que precisó tratamiento médico y quirúrgico, que fue exitoso. Destacamos la pericia clínica de los profesionales de nuestra institución para diagnosticar e identificar las complicaciones cardiovasculares de la sífilis terciaria.


Syphilis is caused by Treponema pallidum and is recognized by the variety of its clinical manifestations; it involves the nervous, integumentary and cardiovascular systems. Cardiovascular alterations occur in 70% of cases with untreated syphilis, 71% of syphilitic aortitis develop aortic aneurysms and the most frequent complication is aortic insufficiency. Treatment is directed at the underlying disease, with antibiotic treatment for tertiary syphilis and thromboembolic complications and if necessary surgical repair. We present a rare case of a patient diagnosed with human immunodeficiency virus infection and cardiovascular complications typical of tertiary syphilis, who required medical and surgical treatment, which was successful. We highlight the clinical experience of our institution's professionals in the diagnosis and identification of cardiovascular complications of tertiary syphilis.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Syphilitic aortitis is a rare complication of tertiary syphilis, which can lead to aortic aneurysm formation, aortic valvular insufficiency, and ostial coronary stenosis. Syphilis has re-emerged worldwide over recent decades and vascular surgeons should be aware of its cardiovascular manifestations. Atypical clinical presentation, such as hemoptysis and a computed tomography angiography pattern of a thicker aneurysmal wall with ulcer-like aneurysm projections, should raise suspicion of syphilitic aortic aneurysm. An early diagnosis and appropriate surgical and medical therapies significantly contribute to successful treatment and favorable prognosis. Herein is reported the case of an 82-year-old male patient, positive for syphilis infection, with impending aortic arch aneurysm rupture treated with a hybrid arch repair. After 7 months, the patient was brought to the emergency room in cardiac arrest. Unsuccessful cardiopulmonary resuscitation maneuvers were performed, and an autopsy showed cardiac tamponade due to rupture of the ascending aorta.


Resumo A aortite sifilítica é uma complicação rara da sífilis terciária, que pode levar a formação de aneurisma aórtico, insuficiência valvar aórtica e estenose ostial coronariana. Ao longo das últimas décadas, a sífilis ressurgiu ao redor do mundo, e os cirurgiões vasculares devem estar atentos às suas manifestações cardiovasculares. Apresentações clínicas atípicas, como a hemoptise, e um padrão na angiotomografia computadorizada de parede aneurismática mais grossa com projeções de aneurisma com aparência de úlcera devem levantar a suspeita de aneurisma sifilítico da aorta. O diagnóstico precoce e terapias cirúrgica e clínica adequadas contribuem significativamente para um tratamento bem-sucedido e prognóstico favorável. Relatamos o caso de um paciente do sexo masculino, de 82 anos, que apresentou infecção por sífilis com ruptura iminente de aneurisma do arco aórtico. Ele foi tratado com reparo híbrido do arco. Após 7 meses, o paciente deu entrada na emergência com parada cardiorrespiratória. As manobras de reanimação cardiopulmonar foram realizadas, mas não obtiveram sucesso, e a autópsia mostrou tamponamento cardíaco devido à ruptura da aorta ascendente.

ABSTRACT

A sífilis incide em 2,1% na população sexualmente ativa no Brasil, e em 30% dos casos não-tratados evolui para a forma terciária. Relatamos um caso de paciente com angina progressiva, com evidência de obstrução coronária biostial e insuficiência valvar aórtica acentuada à coronariografia. O paciente foi submetido a revascularização cirúrgica do miocárdio, associada a troca valvar aórtica. Em decorrência da suspeita de sífilis nos achados do intraoperatório (acúmulo de material caseoso na aorta e calcificação envolvendo os óstios coronários), foram solicitados os testes VDRL e FTA-Abs, que se revelaram positivos. O paciente recebeu alta, com a prescrição de penicilina G benzatina (2,4 milhões de unidades, uma vez por semana, por 3 semanas).


Syphilis has an incidence of 2.1% in the sexually active population in Brazil and evolves into its tertiary form in 30% of the non-treated cases. This is a case of a patient with progressive angina, evidence of biostial coronary obstruction and severe aortic valve insufficiency at coronary angiography. Patient was submitted to coronary artery bypass grafting, associated to aortic valve replacement. Because of the suspicion of syphilis in the intraoperatory findings (accumulation of caseous material in the aorta and calcification involving the coronary ostia), VDRL and FTA-Abs tests were required and results were positive. Patient was discharged and was prescribed Penicillin G Benzathine (2.4 million units, once a week, for 3 weeks).

ABSTRACT

Aortitis is one of the many possibilities of lesion caused by tertiary syphilis. Between all the cardiovascular lesions, the aorta's injury is the most common. We report a case of a 48-year-old patient diagnosed with syphilitic aortitis who had undergone surgery for the replacement of the aortic root and aortic valve. The diagnosis hypothesis was pondered because of the in situ aspect of the arterial damage. Although the rarity of the disease, it persists.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Historically, tertiary syphilis infection has been the most common cause of thoracic aortic aneurysm, resulting in 5% to 10% of cardiovascular deaths until the era of antibiotics. METHODS: A 49-year-old Caucasian man presented to our institution with progressive dysphagia, weight loss, incomplete bladder emptying, alcohol and tobacco consumption, systemic arterial hypertension, Argyll Robertson pupil, leg paresthesias, and mediastinal widening. He was admitted to investigate clinical alterations. Thoracic computed tomography revealed an aortic aneurysm complicated with chronic aortic dissection from the ascending aorta to the iliac vessels with 2 communicating lumens. Cerebrospinal fluid examination tested positive for neurosyphilis in a venereal disease research laboratory test (titre 1/32). RESULTS: Chronic syphilitic aortic aneurysm complicated with chronic aortic dissection was diagnosed. CONCLUSIONS: This is a unique presentation of a syphilitic infection. Syphilitic aortitis, the hallmark of cardiovascular syphilis, has become rare and is hardly considered by today's clinicians in their differential diagnosis.

ABSTRACT

A aortite é uma das muitas possibilidades de lesão produzida pela sífilis terciária. Dentro das lesões cardiovasculares, o acometimento da aorta é o mais comum. Apresentamos o caso de um paciente de 48 anos, diagnosticado com aortite sifilítica, sendo realizada cirurgia para substituição de raiz da aorta e valva aórtica. A hipótese diagnóstica foi devido ao aspecto do dano arterial in situ. Apesar da raridade da doença atualmente, ainda é uma possibilidade.

ABSTRACT

Homem de 44 anos, com dor torácica crônica há um ano, apresentou dois episódios de acidentes vasculares encefálicos isquêmicos, desencadeados pela oclusão e trombose das artérias carótida e subclávia esquerdas, em aneurisma sifilítico gigante de arco aórtico roto. O paciente foi submetido à correção cirúrgica com sucesso via estemotomia mediana, utilizandose proteção cerebral anterógrada e perfusão corporal distal contínuas. Aspectos referentes à técnica operatória utilizada e ampla revisão bibliográfica das diferentes formas de apresentação do comprometimento cardiovascular na sífilis terciária são discutidos

ABSTRACT

A patient with tertiary syphilis presenting with bilateral coronary ostial lesions and aortic regurgitation underwent surgical reconstruction of the coronary ostia by the anterior approach with autogenous saphenous vein grafting and substitution of the aortic valve with a bovine bioprosthesis. The procedure was easily performed and had good outcomes both early and late. The rarity of the association of a lesion in both coronary ostia with aortic regurgitation in syphilis and the surgical technique employed are discussed.

ABSTRACT

The authors present the case of a 27-year old woman with an aneurysm, possibly originating from an ectopic coronary sprout and communicating with the right anterior sinus of Valsalva. Secondary syphilitic lesions were observed. By virtue of its great size and localization, this aneurysm produced obstruction of the outlet of the right ventricle and dislocation of the left coronary artery. The authors conclude that this aneurysm was a congenital anomaly because of its great volume, configuration, the way it opened in the aortic right anterior sinus of Valsalva, the normal aortic wall and valve, and normal sinuses of Valsalva, observed at surgery. The follow-up was uneventful.

ABSTRACT

Se presenta el caso de un paciente de 44 años, con un síndrome anginoso, en quien el estudio demostró serología positiva para lúes y la cinecoronariografía una acentuada estenosis de ambos óstiums coronarios. El paciente fallece al día siguiente del examen. Se presentan los resultados del estudio necrópsico. Se comenta la escasa frecuencia actual de las cardiopatías luéticas y las limitaciones de la penicilina en el tratamiento de la sífilis tardía. Se enfatiza que los síndromes coronarios por estenosis de los óstium constituyen indicación de revascularización de urgencia ya que su mortalidad es semejante a la de las lesiones de tronco

ABSTRACT

A case is described in which A-V nodal dysfunction in the form of the Wenckebach phenomenon occurred in a patient suffering from secondary syphilis. It was associated with a slight degree of cardiac enlargement. The patient presented with palpitations which resolved with antisyphilitic therapy, but the cardiac enlargement persisted. Electrocardiograms carried out on a further 49 consecutive patients with secondary syphilis showed no evidence of A-V nodal conduction defect. Abnormal eletrocardiograms were found in eight (16 per cent.) of the series, and in three (6 per cent.) the abnormality consisted of ST segment and T wave changes (AU)
