Tratamento híbrido das doenças do arco aórtico / Hybrid treatment of aortic arch disease

Introdução: O manejo das doenças da aorta torácica que envolvem a aorta ascendente, arco aórtico e aorta torácica descendente constituem um desafio técnico e é uma área em constante desenvolvimento e inovação. Objetivo: Analisar os resultados iniciais e a médio prazo do tratamento híbrido das doenças do arco aórtico. Métodos: Estudo retrospectivo de procedimentos realizados no período de janeiro de 2010 a dezembro de 2012, em que foram analisados o sucesso técnico e terapêutico, a morbimortalidade, os desfechos neurológicos, a taxa de vazamentos e de reintervenções. Resultados: Em um total de 95 pacientes tratados por doenças da aorta torácica no período, 18 realizaram o tratamento híbrido e adentraram neste estudo. A idade média foi de 62,3 anos. O sexo masculino esteve presente em 66,7%. O sucesso técnico e terapêutico foi de 94,5% obe 83,3%, respectivamente. A mortalidade perioperatória foi de 11,1%. Não houve óbito durante o acompanhamento de 1 ano. A taxa de reintervenção foi de 16,6%, devido a 2 casos de endoleak tipo Ia e um caso de endoleak tipo 2. Não foi observada oclusão dos enxertos anatômicos ou extra-anatômicos durante o período de seguimento. Conclusão: O tratamento híbrido das doenças do arco aórtico demonstrou ser uma alternativa viável à cirurgia convencional. As taxas de sucesso terapêutico e de reintervenções demonstram a necessidade do seguimento clínico rigoroso desses pacientes a longo prazo. .

Introduction: The management of thoracic aortic disease involving the ascending aorta, aortic arch and descending thoracic aorta are technically challenging and is an area in constant development and innovation. Objective: To analyze early and midterm results of hybrid treatment of arch aortic disease. Methods: Retrospective study of procedures performed from January 2010 to December 2012. The end points were the technical success, therapeutic success, morbidity and mortality, neurologic outcomes, the rate of endoleaks and reinterventions. Results: A total of 95 patients treated for thoracic aortic diseases in this period, 18 underwent hybrid treatment and entered in this study. The average ages were 62.3 years. The male was present in 66.7%. The technical and therapeutic success was 94.5% e 83.3%. The perioperative mortality rate of 11.1%. There is any death during one-year follow- up. The reoperation rates were 16.6% due 2 cases of endoleak Ia and one case of endoleak II. There is any occlusion of anatomic or extra anatomic bypass during follow up. Conclusion: In our study, the hybrid treatment of aortic arch disease proved to be a feasible alternative of conventional surgery. The therapeutic success rates and re- interventions obtained demonstrate the necessity of thorough clinical follow-up of these patients in a long time. .

Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) in the presence of coronary aneurysms.

This is the case of a patient with coronary aneurysms, who underwent CABG for surgical exclusion of these aneurysms, followed by implant of the bypass grafts to the arteries affected, with satisfactory short-term and long-term results.

Revascularização cirúrgica miocárdica (RCM) na presença de aneurismas coronarianos / Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) in the presence of coronary aneurysms / Revascularización quirúrgica miocárdica (RQM) en la presencia de aneurismas coronarios

É descrito caso de paciente portador de volumosos aneurismas coronários, submetidos à RCM, na qual foi adotada a exclusão cirúrgica destes aneurismas, seguido do implante de pontes de safena para as artérias comprometidas, com resultado a curto e longo prazos satisfatório.

This is the case of a patient with coronary aneurysms, who underwent CABG for surgical exclusion of these aneurysms, followed by implant of the bypass grafts to the arteries affected, with satisfactory short-term and long-term results.

Se describe el caso de un paciente con aneurismas coronarios voluminosos, que fueron sometidos a RQM, en la que se adoptó la exclusión quirúrgica de estos aneurismas, seguida de la implantación de puentes de safena para las arterias en peligro, con resultado a corto y largo plazos satisfactorio.
