Zusammenfassung: | Aortic stenosis is a highly prevalent and life-threatening disease. In elderly patients with comorbidities, percutaneous valve implantation is an option. The aim of the study was to describe the anesthetic management and complications of general anesthesia.
Case series with 30-day and 24-month follow-ups after implantation of the CoreValve device performed at the Institute of Cardiology/University Foundation of Cardiology between December 2008 and January 2012. The patients underwent general anesthesia monitored with mean arterial pressure (PAM), electrocardiogram (ECG), pulse oximetry, capnography, transesophageal echocardiography, thermometry, and transvenous pacemaker.
Twenty-eight patients, mean age 82.46 years, 20.98% mean EuroSCORE, functional class III/IV, successfully underwent valve implantation. Nine patients required permanent pacemaker implantation. During follow-up, two patients died: one during surgery due to LV perforation and the other on the third day of unknown causes. At 24 months, one patient diagnosed with multiple myeloma died. This anesthetic technique proved to be safe.
The initial experience with percutaneous aortic valve implantation under general anesthesia has proven to be safe and effective, with no significant anesthetic complications during this procedure.
A estenose aórtica (EA) grave é uma doença prevalente e de grande mortalidade. Nos pacientes idosos com outras comorbidades o implante valvar percutâneo é uma opção.
Descrever o manejo anestésico e as complicações com anestesia geral.
Série de casos com seguimento de 30 dias e 24 meses após o implante do dispositivo CoreValve feito no Instituto de Cardiologia/Fundação Universitária de Cardiologia entre dezembro de 2008 e janeiro de 2012. Os pacientes foram submetidos à anestesia geral monitorada com pressão arterial média (PAM), eletrocardiograma (ECG), oximetria, capnografia, ecocardiograma transesofágico, termometria e marcapasso transvenoso.
Foram submetidos com sucesso ao implante valvular 28 pacientes, com idade média de 82,46 anos, EuroScore médio de 20,98%, classe funcional III/IV. Nove pacientes necessitaram de implante de marcapasso definitivo. No seguimento dos pacientes houve dois óbitos, um no transoperatório por perfuração do VE e um no terceiro dia por causa desconhecida. Em 24 meses um paciente faleceu com diagnóstico de mieloma múltiplo. A técnica anestésica mostrou-se segura.
