article 1 Citação(ões) na Scopus Laringoscopia de suspensão para o cirurgião torácico: quando e como utilizá-la(2011) SANTOS JUNIOR, Antonio Oliveira dos; MINAMOTO, Helio; CARDOSO, Paulo Francisco Guerreiro; NADAI, Tales Rubens de; MOTA, Rafael Turano; JATENE, Fabio BiscegliSuspension laryngoscopy is one of the most common otolaryngological procedures for the diagnosis and surgical approach to the larynx. However, most thoracic surgeons are not familiar with the procedure and seldom use it. The indications for its use are similar to those for that of rigid bronchoscopy (dilatation, endoprosthesis insertion, and tumor resection). It can be performed in children and adults. Suspension laryngoscopy is an alternative when rigid bronchoscopy is unavailable and is therefore a viable option for use at smaller facilities. In this communication, we describe the technique and the applications of suspension laryngoscopy in thoracic surgery.- Impact of gastroesophageal reflux in the pathogenesis of tracheal stenosis(2020) CARDOSO, Paulo Francisco Guerreiro; MINAMOTO, Helio; BIBAS, Benoit Jacques; PEGO-FERNANDES, Paulo ManuelBenign airway stenosis is a multifactorial and heterogeneous disease often occurring after tracheal intubation. Despite the frequent finding of pathological gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in benign tracheal stenosis, the cause-and-effect relationship between these two entities and its impact on the outcome of the stenosis itself have not been established. The altered ventilatory dynamics caused by an increased thoracoabdominal pressure gradient in such patients has been proposed as a central cause. The presence of GER in a setting of microaspiration can also induce changes in the local collagen proliferation response, as well as in the local microbiome of the tracheal stenosis site, which may potentially cause and enhance the harm imposed to the already diseased tracheal wall. Diagnosis of GER remains underestimated in the general population, thus making its accurate detection and treatment in central airway stenosis a matter of investigation. The high prevalence of GER in tracheal stenosis patients often occurs in the absence of typical upper digestive signs and symptoms, therefore requiring an objective assessment using a 24-hour ambulatory esophageal pH/impedance study that has shown abnormal results in more than half the patients. The impact of the treatment of GER in patients with benign tracheal has been scarcely reported. Our group showed recently that the surgical control of GER through laparoscopic fundoplication in selected patients with tracheal stenosis can improve substantially the chance of resolution of the tracheal stenosis as opposed to the medical management with high dose proton pump inhibitors. This chapter describes the impact of GER in the pathogenesis of tracheal stenosis with a focus on its mechanisms, diagnosis and treatment strategy.
- Stents for Bronchial Stenosis After Lung Transplantation: Should They Be Removed?(2015) FONESCA, H. V. S.; IUAMOTO, L. R.; MINAMOTO, H.; ABDALLA, L. G.; FERNANDES, L. M.; CAMARGO, P. C. L.; SAMANO, M. N.; PEGO-FERNANDES, P. M.Background. Airway complications after lung transplantation are the major cause of morbidity, affecting up to 33% of all cases. Bronchial stenosis is the most common complication. The use of stents has been established as the most effective therapy; however, their removal is recommended after 3-6 months of use. We have been using self-expandable stents as a definitive treatment and remove them only if necessary. For this report, we evaluated the use of self-expandable stents as a definitive treatment for bronchial stenosis after lung transplantation. Methods. We performed a retrospective cohort study to evaluate patients with bronchial stenosis from August 2003 to April 2014. Clinical and pulmonary function test data were collected. Results. Two hundred lung transplants were performed, 156 of which were bilateral. Sixteen patients experienced airway complications: 4 had dehiscence, 2 necrosis, and 10 bronchial stenosis. Of these patients, 7 had undergone bilateral procedures, and 2 patients developed stenosis in both sides. Twelve anastomotic stenoses were observed. The follow-up after stenting ranged from 1 to 7 years. All patients had increased lung function, and 4 remained stable with sustained increase in pulmonary function without episodes of infection. Three patients required removal of their prosthesis 6 months to 1 year after implantation because of complications. Two patients died owing to unrelated causes. Conclusions. Definitive treatment of bronchial stenosis with self-expandable stents is a viable option. The 1st year seems to be the most crucial for determining definitive treatment, because no patients required removal of their stent after 1 year.
- Stents for Bronchial Stenosis After Lung Transplantation: Should They Be Removed? (vol 47, pg 1029, 2015)(2015) FONSECA, H. V. S.; IUAMOTO, L. R.; MINAMOTO, H.; ABDALLA, L. G.; FERNANDES, L. M.; CAMARGO, P. C. L.; SAMANO, M. N.; PEGO-FERNANDES, P. M.
- Impact of fundoplication for gastroesophageal reflux in the outcome of benign tracheal stenosis(2019) BIANCHI, Edno Tales; CARDOSO, Paulo Francisco Guerreiro; MINAMOTO, Helio; BIBAS, Benoit Jacques; SALATI, Michele; PEGO-FERNANDES, Paulo ManuelObjective: This study focuses on the impact of antireflux surgery in the outcome of tracheal stenosis. Methods: We performed a retrospective study including patients with benign tracheal stenosis who underwent esophageal manometry and dual-probe 24-hour ambulatory esophageal pH study. Patients with an abnormal pH study were managed with laparoscopic modified Nissen fundoplication or medically (omeprazole 80 mg/d, orally). Patients with normal pH study results were observed. After a 24-month follow-up, the outcome was considered satisfactory if tracheal stenosis could be managed by resection and there was no need for further dilatation or definitive decannulation. The management groups were compared using propensity score matching. Results: A total of 175 patients were included. Abnormal pH study results were found in 74 patients (42.3%), and 12.6% of patients had typical gastroesophageal reflux symptoms. Follow-up was completed in 124 patients (20 had fundoplication, 32 received omeprazole, and 72 were observed). After propensity score matching, the outcome of tracheal stenosis in the fundoplication group was similar to that of the observation group (odds ratio, 1; P = .99) and better than that of the omeprazole group (odds ratio, 5.31; P = .03). The observation (no gastroesophageal reflux) group had a better outcome of stenosis than those treated with omeprazole (odds ratio, 3.54; P = .02). Conclusions: The outcome of the airway stenosis was superior after laparoscopic fundoplication compared with medical treatment with omeprazole and was similar to the outcome of patients without gastroesophageal reflux. A prospective randomized trial is warranted.

- Treatment of tracheal stenosis with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support in infants and newborns(2021) REIS, Flavio Pola dos; MINAMOTO, Helio; BIBAS, Benoit Jacques; MINAMOTO, Fabio Eiti Nishibe; CARDOSO, Paulo Francisco Guerreiro; CANEO, Luiz Fernando; PEGO-FERNANDES, Paulo ManuelTracheal stenosis in children is a challenge for the healthcare team, since it is a rare disease. Patients usually have other clinical comorbidities, mainly previous cardiac surgical interventions. This retrospective single-center study included infants with tracheal stenosis (congenital or acquired) operated between 2016 and 2020 on venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO). Five patients were operated and the median age of detection of the tracheal disease was 3.7 months, and the median age at the operation was 5 months. All patients had associated cardiac anomalies. Four patients had congenital tracheal stenosis; two with associated pig bronchus. One patient had acquired subglottic stenosis with concomitant stenosis at the carina. After the operation, the patients were referred to ICU on ECMO with an open chest. Minor ECMO-related complications occurred in two patients (hemothorax and wound infection). All patients required endoscopic evaluation during the postoperative care; median of 3.2 procedures. Two patients are currently in follow-up and three have died. Slide tracheoplasty with VA-ECMO can be successfully performed in infants with prior cardiac surgery. Nevertheless, a difficult postoperative course should be anticipated, with possible prolonged ECMO use, readmissions, and higher morbidity and mortality than in children with tracheal stenosis alone.
