- Use of medical therapies before pulmonary endarterectomy in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension patients with severe hemodynamic impairment(2020) CASTRO, Marcela Araujo; PILOTO, Bruna; FERNANDES, Caio Julio Cesar dos Santos; JARDIM, Carlos; SALIBE FILHO, William; OLEAS, Francisca Gavilanes; ALVES, Jose Leonidas; MORINAGA, Luciana Tamie Kato; HOETTE, Susana; TERRA FILHO, Mario; FREITAS FILHO, Orival; JATENE, Fabio Biscegli; SOUZA, RogerioChronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a rare complication of acute pulmonary embolism, characterized by non-resolving fibro-thrombotic obstructions of large pulmonary arteries. Pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) is the treatment of choice for the disease, significantly improving survival. Patients with worse hemodynamic profile have worse prognosis after surgery, raising the question of whether the use of medical therapy prior to surgery to optimize hemodynamics could improve outcomes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of medical therapy pre-PEA, according to the hemodynamic profile at the diagnosis. We retrospectively analyzed all patients submitted to PEA, from January 2013 to December 2017. Functional, clinical and hemodynamic data were collected to evaluate the main prognostic determinants. Patients were stratified according to the hemodynamic severity and use of targeted therapies prior to surgery. A total of 108 patients were included. Thirty-five patients (32,4%) used targeted therapy pre-PEA. The use of medical therapy delayed the surgical procedure by about 7 months. There was no difference in overall survival between patients that received targeted therapy and those treated only with supportive therapy (87.8% vs 80.3%, respectively, p = 0.426). Nevertheless, when analyzing the group of patients with severe hemodynamic impairment, defined by low cardiac output(< 3.7L/min) at baseline, patients treated with targeted therapies presented a significantly better one-year survival. In higher-risk CTEPH patients, characterized by the presence of low cardiac output, the use of targeted therapies prior to PEA was associated with better outcome, suggesting a potential role for pre-operative use of medical treatment in this particular subgroup.
- Loss of response to calcium channel blockers after long-term follow up in idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension(2020) PILOTO, Bruna; FERNANDES, Caio; JARDIM, Carlos; CASTRO, Marcela; SALIBE-FILHO, William; ALVES-JR, Jose Leonidas; MORINAGA, Luciana; SOBRAL-ALVES, Juliana; HOETTE, Susana; TERRA-FILHO, Mario; SOUZA, Rogerio
- Reperfusion in acute pulmonary thromboembolism(2018) FERNANDES, Caio Julio Cesar dos Santos; JARDIM, Carlos Vianna Poyares; ALVES JR., Jose Leonidas; OLEAS, Francisca Alexandra Gavilanes; MORINAGA, Luciana Tamie Kato; SOUZA, Rogerio deAcute pulmonary thromboembolism (APTE) is a highly prevalent condition (104-183 cases per 100,000 person-years) and is potentially fatal. Approximately 20% of patients with APTE are hypotensive, being considered at high risk of death. In such patients, immediate lung reperfusion is necessary in order to reduce right ventricular afterload and to restore hemodynamic stability. To reduce pulmonary vascular resistance in APTE and, consequently, to improve right ventricular function, lung reperfusion strategies have been developed over time and widely studied in recent years. In this review, we focus on advances in the indication and use of systemic thrombolytic agents, as well as lung reperfusion via endovascular and classical surgical approaches, in APTE.
- Update on the Treatment of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension(2021) FERNANDES, Caio J.; CALDERARO, Daniela; ASSAD, Ana Paula Luppino; SALIBE-FILHO, William; KATO-MORINAGA, Luciana Tamie; HOETTE, Susana; PILOTO, Bruna; CASTRO, Marcela Araujo; LISBOA, Roberta Pontes; SILVA, Taysa Antonia Felix da; MARTINS, Murillo de Araujo; ALVES-JR, Jose L.; JARDIM, Carlos; TERRA-FILHO, Mario; SOUZA, Rogerio deIn the last decades, important advances have been made in the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a severe, progressive, incurable, and potentially fatal disease. For an adequate therapy, correct hemodynamic diagnosis and etiology classification are fundamental. Many etiologies - rheumatic disease, portal hypertension, congenital heart diseases, schistosomiasis - require specific measures, in addition to drug therapy for PAH. The specific therapy for PAH is based on medications that act on three pathophysiological pathways - prostacyclin, endothelin, and nitric oxide pathways. These drugs have multiple presentations (oral, intravenous, subcutaneous, and inhaled) and have changed the history of PAH. This review presents an overview of drug therapy strategies and different forms and peculiarities of PAH.
- Cancer-associated thrombosis: the when, how and why(2019) FERNANDES JR., Caio J.; MORINAGA, Luciana T. K.; ALVES, Jose L.; CASTRO, Marcela A.; CALDERARO, Daniela; JARDIM, Carlos V. P.; SOUZA, RogerioCancer-associated thrombosis (CAT) is a condition in which relevance has been increasingly recognised both for physicians that deal with venous thromboembolism (VTE) and for oncologists. It is currently estimated that the annual incidence of VTE in patients with cancer is 0.5% compared to 0.1% in the general population. Active cancer accounts for 20% of the overall incidence of VTE. Of note, VTE is the second most prevalent cause of death in cancer, second only to the progression of the disease, and cancer is the most prevalent cause of deaths in VTE patients. Nevertheless, CAT presents several peculiarities that distinguish it from other VTE, both in pathophysiology mechanisms, risk factors and especially in treatment, which need to be considered. CAT data will be reviewed in this review.

- Use of direct oral anticoagulants for chronic throm-boembolic pulmonary hypertension(2018) GAVILANES-OLEAS, Francisca Alexandra; ALVES-JR, Jose Leonidas; FERNANDES, Caio Julio Cesar; PRADA, Luis Felipe Lopes; SALIBE-FILHO, William; TERRA-FILHO, Mario; MORINAGA, Luciana; HOETTE, Susana; JARDIM, Carlos; SOUZA, RogerioOBJECTIVES: Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension is one of the most prevalent forms of pulmonary hypertension and is a major complication of acute pulmonary embolism. One mainstay of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension treatment is lifelong anticoagulation. The recent advent of direct oral anticoagulants for acute pulmonary embolism treatment has provided a viable and effective alternative for treating this condition. However, little is known about the efficacy of this new class of drugs for treating chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. We aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of direct oral anticoagulants in the treatment of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. METHODS: A cohort of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension patients who initiated treatment with direct oral anticoagulants between June 2015 and November 2016 were enrolled in this study. RESULTS: Sixteen patients used rivaroxaban, three used dabigatran and one used apixaban for a mean follow-up of 20.9 months. The mean age was 51 years, and eighteen patients were classified as functional class Eight patients underwent a pulmonary endarterectomy and exhibited clinical, hemodynamic and functional improvement and currently continue to use direct oral anticoagulants. No episode of venous thromboembolism recurrence was identified during the follow-up period, but there was one episode of major bleeding after a traumatic fall. CONCLUSIONS: Although direct oral anticoagulants appear to be a safe and effective alternative for treating chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, larger studies are needed to support their routine use.
