- Surgical Correction of Ascending Aortic Aneurysm Without Coronary Dilatation After Kawasaki Disease in a 3-Year-Old Child(2022) SANTOS, Romullo M.; MASSOTI, Maria Raquel B.; CORONEL, Monica Raquel Gonzalez; MAIA, Frederico Faria; MIANA, Leonardo Augusto; JATENE, Marcelo BiscegliKawasaki disease (KD) is an inflammatory condition that may affect genetically predisposed individuals in pediatric ages after infectious/ environmental triggering. An infrequent finding associated with KD is ascending aortic aneurysm during or after the acute phase of the disease. In this Multimedia presentation, we describe a three-year-old girl submitted to surgical treatment.
- Use of Short-term Circulatory Support as a Bridge in Pediatric Heart Transplantation(2015) CANEO, Luiz Fernando; MIANA, Leonardo Augusto; TANAMATI, Carla; PENHA, Juliano Gomes; SHIMODA, Monica Satsuki; AZEKA, Estela; MIURA, Nana; GALAS, Filomena Regina Barbosa Gomes; GUIMARAES, Vanessa Alves; JATENE, Marcelo BiscegliBackground: Heart transplantation is considered the gold standard therapy for the advanced heart failure, but donor shortage, especially in pediatric patients, is the main limitation for this procedure, so most sick patients die while waiting for the procedure. Objective: To evaluate the use of short-term circulatory support as a bridge to transplantation in end-stage cardiomyopathy. Methods: Retrospective clinical study. Between January 2011 and December 2013, 40 patients with cardiomyopathy were admitted in our Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, with a mean age of 4.5 years. Twenty patients evolved during hospitalization with clinical deterioration and were classified as Intermacs 1 and 2. One patient died within 24 hours and 19 could be stabilized and were listed. They were divided into 2 groups: A, clinical support alone and B, implantation of short-term circulatory support as bridge to transplantation additionally to clinical therapy. Results: We used short-term mechanical circulatory support as a bridge to transplantation in 9. In group A (n = 10), eight died waiting and 2 patients (20%) were transplanted, but none was discharged. In group B (n = 9), 6 patients (66.7%) were transplanted and three were discharged. The mean support time was 21,8 days (6 to 984h). The mean transplant waiting list time was 33,8 days. Renal failure and sepsis were the main complication and causeof death in group A while neurologic complications were more prevalent en group B. Conclusion: Mechanical circulatory support increases survival on the pediatric heart transplantation waiting list in patients classified as Intermacs 1 and 2.
- Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation in an Average Brazilian Intensive Care Unit: Should We Perform Less or Better?(2017) MIANA, Leonardo Augusto; MORAES, Marcella Mendes; MORAES, Bernardo Mendes; PONTE, Pedro Guilherme; VENTURELLI JUNIOR, Eduardo; MALLOSTO, Rodrigo Urbano; MOREIRA-ALMEIDA, AlexanderIntroduction: Few data can be found about cardiac arrest in the intensive care unit outside reference centers in third world countries. Objective: To study epidemiology and prognostic factors associated with cardiac arrest in the intensive care unit (ICU) in an average Brazilian center. Methods: Between June 2011 and July 2014,302 cases of cardiac arrest in the intensive care unit were prospectively evaluated in 273 patients (age: 68.9 +/- 15 years) admitted in three mixed units. Data regarding cardiac arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation were collected in an ""Utstein style"" form and epidemiologic data was prospectively obtained. Factors associated with do not resuscitate orders, return of spontaneous circulation and survival were studied using binary logistic regression. Statistical package software used was SPSS 19.0 (IBM Inc., USA). Results: Among 302 cardiac arrests, 230 (76.3%) had their initial rhythm recorded and 141 (61.3%) was in asystole, 62 (27%) in pulseless electric activity (PEA) and 27 had a shockable rhythm (11.7%). In 109 (36.1%) cases, cardiac arrest had a suspected reversible cause. Most frequent suspected cardiac arrest causes were hypotension (n=98; 32.5%), multiple (19.2%) and hypoxemia (17.5%). Sixty (19.9%) cardiac arrests had do not resuscitate orders. Prior left ventricle dysfunction was the only predictor of do not resuscitate order (OR: 3.1 [CI=1.03-9.4]; P=0.04). Among patients that received cardiopulmonary resuscitation, 59 (24.4%) achieved return of spontaneous circulation and 12 survived to discharge (5.6%). Initial shockable rhythm was the only return of spontaneous circulation predictor (OR: 24.9 (2.4-257); P=0.007) and survival (OR: 4.6 (1.4-15); P=0.01). Conclusion: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation rate was high considering ICU patients, so was mortality. Prior left ventricular dysfunction was a predictor of do not resuscitate order. Initial shockable rhythm was a predictor of return of spontaneous circulation and survival.
- Letter to Editor Regarding: ""Y-shaped bifurcated graft to pulmonary arteries after arterial switch operation."" by Miana et al., Heart Lung Circ. 2021;30(8):e83-5(2022) MIANA, Leonardo Augusto; TENORIO, Davi Freitas; ARRIETA, Santiago Raul; MANUEL, Valdano; MOREIRA, Valeria Melo; JATENE, Marcelo Biscegli
- Reversible pulmonary trunk banding. IX. G6PD activity of adult goat myocardium submitted to ventricular retraining(2013) ASSAD, Renato Samy; MIANA, Leonardo Augusto; FONSECA-ALANIZ, Miriam Helena; ABDUCH, Maria Cristina Donadio; SILVA, Gustavo Jose Justo da; OLIVEIRA, Fernanda Santos de; MOREIRA, Luiz Felipe Pinho; KRIEGER, Jose EduardoObjective: Increased glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity has been demonstrated in heart failure. This study sought to assess myocardial glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity in retraining of the subpulmonary ventricle of adult goats. Methods: Eighteen adult goats were divided into three groups: traditional (fixed banding), sham, and intermittent (adjustable banding, daily 12-hour systolic overload). Systolic overload (70% of systemic pressure) was maintained during a 4-week period. Right ventricle, pulmonary artery and aortic pressures were measured throughout the study. All animals were submitted to echocardiographic and hemodynamic evaluations throughout the protocol. After the study period, the animals were killed for morphological and glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity assessment. Results: A 55.7% and 36.7% increase occurred in the intermittent and traditional right ventricle masses, respectively, when compared with the sham group (P<0.05), despite less exposure of intermittent group to systolic overload. No significant changes were observed in myocardial water content in the 3 groups (P=0.27). A 37.2% increase was found in right ventricle wall thickness of intermittent group, compared to sham and traditional groups (P<0.05). Right ventricle glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity was elevated in the traditional group, when compared to sham and intermittent groups (P=0.05). Conclusion: Both study groups have developed similar right ventricle hypertrophy, regardless less systolic overload exposure of intermittent group. Traditional systolic overload for adult subpulmonary ventricle retraining causes upregulation of myocardial glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity. It may suggest that the undesirable ""pathologic systolic overload"" is influenced by activation of penthose pathway and cytosolic Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate availability. This altered energy substrate metabolism can elevate levels of free radicals by Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase, an important mechanism in the pathophysiology of heart failure.
- Y-shaped Bifurcated Graft to Pulmonary Arteries After Arterial Switch Operation(2021) MIANA, Leonardo Augusto; MANUEL, Valdano; MOREIRA, Valeria Melo; JATENE, Marcelo BiscegliPulmonary artery stenosis is a frequent complication after arterial switch operation. This case study presented a complex pulmonary artery stenosis initially treated with bilateral pulmonary artery stenting. The patient was found to have aortic valve endocarditis and recurrent pulmonary artery stenosis. The aortic valve was replaced and the pulmonary valve was repaired, followed by interposition of a Y-shaped graft from the sinotubular junction to both pulmonary arteries. The patient had an uneventful recovery and was discharged home asymptomatic after endocarditis antibacterial treatment.
- Early and Long-Term Outcomes of Surgical Treatment of Ebstein's Anomaly(2019) SILVA, Guilherme Viotto Rodrigues da; MIANA, Leonardo Augusto; CANEO, Luiz Fernando; TURQUETTO, Aida Luiza Ribeiro; TANAMATI, Carla; PENHA, Juliano G.; JATENE, Fabio B.; JATENE, Marcelo B.Objective: This study aimed to evaluate Ebstein's anomaly surgical correction and its early and long-term outcomes. Methods: A retrospective analysis of 62 consecutive patients who underwent surgical repair of Ebstein's anomaly in our institution from January 2000 to July 2016. The following long-term outcomes were evaluated: survival, reoperations, tricuspid regurgitation, and postoperative right ventricular dysfunction. Results: Valve repair was performed in 46 (74.2%) patients - 12 of them using the Da Silva cone reconstruction; tricuspid valve replacement was performed in 11 (17.7%) patients; univentricular palliation in one (1.6%) patient; and the one and a half ventricle repair in four (6.5%) patients. The patients' mean age at the time of surgery was 20.5 +/- 14.9 years, and 46.8% of them were male. The mean follow-up time was 8.8 +/- 6 years. The 30-day mortality rate was 8.06% and the one and 10-year survival rates were 91.9% both. Eleven (17.7%) of the 62 patients required late reoperation due to tricuspid regurgitation, in an average time of 7.1 +/- 4.9 years after the first procedure. Conclusion: In our experience, the long-term results of the surgical treatment of Ebstein's anomaly demonstrate an acceptable survival rate and a low incidence of reinterventions.
- Anemia in Cardiac Surgery - Can Something Bad Get Worse?(2021) FARIA, Leandro Batisti de; MEJIA, Omar Vilca; MIANA, Leonardo Augusto; LISBOA, Luiz Augusto Ferreira; MANUEL, Valdano; JATENE, Marcelo B.; JATENE, Fabio B.Introduction: Anemia and blood transfusion are risk factors for morbidity/mortality in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The objective of this study is to analyze the association of blood transfusion with morbidity/mortality in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) under CPB in the state of Sao Paulo, Brazil. Methods: This is a retrospective analysis using the State of Sao Paulo Registry of Cardiovascular Surgery from November 2013 to August 2014. Blood transfusion was only considered during surgery or within six hours after surgery. Anemia was defined as hematocrit <= 37.5%. Patients < 18 years old were excluded. The sample was divided in four groups - Group I (851, no anemia), Group II (200, anemia without blood transfusion), Group III (181, no anemia and transfusion), and Group IV (258, anemia and transfusion). Results: A total of 1,490 patients were included; 639 (42.9%) were anemic and 439 (29.5%) underwent blood transfusion. Group II showed lower composite morbidity (odds ratio [OR] -0.05; confidence interval [CI] -0.27-0.17; P=0.81) than Group III (OR 0.41; CI 0.23-0.59; P=0.018) or Group IV (OR 0.54; CI 0.31-0.77; P=0.016). Group III was at greater risk of mortality (OR 0.73; CI 0.43-1.03; P=0.02) than Group II, which was exposed only to anemia (OR -0.13; CI -0.55-0.29; P=0.75), or Group IV (OR 0.29; CI -0.13-0.71; P=0.539). Conclusion: Anemia in patients undergoing CABG with CPB is bad, but blood transfusion can be worse, increasing at least 50% the risk for mortality and/or morbidity.
- Post-cardiotomy ECMO in pediatric and congenital heart surgery: impact of team training and equipment in the results(2015) MIANA, Leonardo Augusto; CANEO, Luiz Fernando; TANAMATI, Carla; PENHA, Juliano Gomes; GUIMARAES, Vanessa Alves; MIURA, Nana; GALAS, Filomena Regina Barbosa Gomes; JATENE, Marcelo BiscegliIntroduction: Post-cardiotomy myocardial dysfunction requiring mechanical circulatory support occurs in about 0.5% of cases. In our environment, the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation has been increasing in recent years. Objective: To evaluate the impact of investment in professional training and improvement of equipment in the rate of weaning from extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and survival. Methods: A retrospective study. Fifty-six pediatric and/or congenital heart patients underwent post-cardiotomy extracorporeal membrane oxygenation at our institution between November 1999 and July 2014. We divided this period into two phases: phase I, 36 cases (before the structuring of the extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation program) and phase II, 20 cases (after the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation program implementation) with investment in training and equipment). Were considered as primary outcomes: extracorporeal membrane oxygenation weaning and survival to hospital discharge. The results in both phases were compared using Chi-square test. To identify the impact of the different variables we used binary logistic regression analysis. Results: Groups were comparable. In phase I, 9 patients (25%) were weaned from extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, but only 2 (5.5%) were discharged. In phase II, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation was used in 20 patients, weaning was possible in 17 (85%), with 9 (45%) hospital discharges (P<0.01). When the impact of several variables on discharge and weaning of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation was analyzed, we observe that phase II was an independent predictor of better results (P<0.001) and need for left cavities drainage was associated with worse survival (P=0.045). Conclusion: The investment in professional training and improvement of equipment significantly increased extracorporeal membrane oxygenation results.
- Preoperative level of neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio: Comparison between cyanotic and acyanotic congenital heart disease(2021) MANUEL, Valdano; MIANA, Leonardo Augusto; SOLLA, Davi J. Fontoura; FERNANDES, Natalia; CARRILLO, Gabriel; JATENE, Marcelo BiscegliIntroduction Elevated neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been associated with poorer outcomes in children undergoing congenital heart surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Objective To compare preoperative NLR levels between cyanotic and acyanotic children undergoing surgical repair with CPB. Methods We performed a retrospective cohort study in 60-paired children (30 with tetralogy of Fallot [TOF] and 30 with ventricular septal defect [VSD]) between January 2018 and December 2019 matched by age, weight, and gender. Preoperative NLR was measured from the last complete blood count test before the surgery. All of them had negative viral screening. Results The median age in VSD children was 9.5 months (interquartile range [IQR]: 5-12), weight 7 kg (IQR: 5.5-8.7), 19 (63%) was female, and NLR was 0.45 (IQR: 0.3-0.65). The median age in TOF children was 8.5 months (IQR: 5-12), weight 7.6 kg (IQR: 5.8-8.7), 16 (53%) were female, and NLR was 0.67 (IQR: 0.41-1.1). Demographic parameters did not show any statistically significant difference between groups (p > .05). Children with TOF had higher preoperative NLR compared with VSD patients (p = .004). As lower O-2 saturation as higher the NLR (p = .005). Conclusion The preoperative level of NLR was higher in cyanotic congenital heart disease patients.
