Abstract

Abstract Introduction: Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) is a stress-induced cardiomyopathy. It is characterized by an acute onset of symptoms and electrocardiographic abnormalities mimicking an acute coronary syndrome in the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease. Any anesthetic-surgical event corresponds to a stressful situation, so the anesthetic management of patients with TCM requires special care throughout the perioperative period. We describe the anesthetic management of a patient with a confirmed diagnosis of TCM undergoing segmental colectomy. Case report: Female patient, 55 years old, ASA III, with history of takotsubo syndrome diagnosed 2 years ago, scheduled for segmental colectomy. The patient, without other changes in preoperative evaluation, underwent general anesthesia associated with lumbar epidural and remained hemodynamically stable during the 2 h of surgery. After a brief stay in the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit, she was transferred to the Intermediate Care Unit (IMCU), with epidural analgesia for postoperative period. Conclusion: TCM is a rare disease which true pathophysiology remains unclear, as well as the most appropriate anesthetic-surgical strategy. In this case, through a preventive approach, with close monitoring and the lowest possible stimulus, all the perioperative period was uneventful. Because it is a rare disease, this report could help to raise awareness about TCM.

Resumo

Resumo Introdução: A miocardiopatia takotsubo (MT) é uma miocardiopatia induzida pelo estresse. Caracteriza-se por um início agudo de sintomas e alterações eletrocardiográficas que mimetizam uma síndrome coronária aguda na ausência de doença arterial coronária obstrutiva. Qualquer evento anestésico-cirúrgico corresponde a uma situação de estresse, pelo que a abordagem anestésica dos doentes com MT exige um cuidado especial em todo o período perioperatório. Descrevemos a abordagem anestésica de uma doente com diagnóstico confirmado de MT submetida a colectomia segmentar. Caso clínico: Paciente do sexo feminino, 55 anos, ASA III, com antecedentes de síndrome de takotsubo diagnosticada havia dois anos, encaminhada para colectomia segmentar. A paciente, sem outras alterações na avaliação pré-operatória, foi submetida a anestesia geral associada a epidural lombar e manteve-se hemodinamicamente estável durante as duas horas do procedimento cirúrgico. Após uma breve permanência na Unidade de Cuidados Pós-Anestésicos foi transferida para a Unidade de Cuidados Intermédios (UCIM) com analgesia peridural para o pós-operatório. Conclusão: A MT é uma doença rara, cuja verdadeira fisiopatologia continua por esclarecer, assim como a estratégia anestésico-cirúrgica mais apropriada. Nesse caso, por causa de uma abordagem preventiva, com monitoração rigorosa e o menor estímulo possível, todo o perioperatório decorreu sem intercorrências. Sendo uma doença rara, o seu relato poderá contribuir para o avanço do conhecimento sobre a MT.
