Resumo

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: Muitos pacientes submetidos à cirurgia para correção de aneurisma de aorta abdominal apresentam doença coronariana, podendo evoluir com complicações cardíacas perioperatórias. A grande dificuldade é avaliar, no pré-operatório, o risco de complicações cardíacas isquêmicas que ocorrem no período pós-operatório de modo confiável. O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar a incidência de isquemia cardíaca pós-operatória em pacientes submetidos à correção de aneurisma da aorta abdominal, sua correlação com o índice de risco cardíaco de Goldman modificado, com alterações no teste do tálio-dipiridamol e os fatores de risco nessa população. MÉTODO: Foram analisados retrospectivamente 65 pacientes submetidos à correção de aneurisma da aorta abdominal e a incidência dos fatores de risco como tabagismo, insuficiência coronariana, hipertensão arterial sistêmica e Diabetes mellitus. Foi analisada a correlação entre a insuficiência coronariana no pré-operatório, o índice de Goldman modificado e as complicações isquêmicas pós-operatórias. Foi avaliada a correlação do teste tálio-dipiridamol pré-operatório e eventos isquêmicos no pós-operatório. RESULTADOS: Cerca de 80% dos pacientes apresentavam antecedente de tabagismo, 55% de hipertensão arterial, 8% de Diabetes mellitus, 25% de insuficiência coronariana. Entre os pacientes com insuficiência coronariana, cinco possuíam angina pré-operatória e apresentaram uma incidência de 40% de isquemia miocárdica no pós-operatório, sendo a incidência de infarto agudo do miocárdio de 6,2%. No nosso estudo, 14% dos pacientes Goldman modificado II e 33% dos pacientes Goldman modificado III apresentaram isquemia miocárdica pós-operatória. Dezesseis pacientes (24%) foram submetidos ao tálio dipiridamol no pré-operatório, sendo que 10 (62%) apresentaram defeitos de captação cintilográfica. O valor preditivo positivo do exame foi de 20% para isquemia miocárdica pós-operatória, com valor preditivo negativo de 83% e sensibilidade de 66%. CONCLUSÕES: A incidência de complicações cardíacas de acordo com o índice de Goldman modificado não foi compatível com o risco teórico desse índice. Os pacientes com angina no período pré-operatório apresentaram alta porcentagem (40%) de isquemia no pós-operatório, sendo que o valor do tálio-dipiridamol como teste preditivo de complicações isquêmicas foi baixo.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Many patients undergoing abdominal aortic aneurysm repair are at high risk for perioperative myocardial ischemia. The great difficulty is to reliably evaluate the preoperative risk of postoperative myocardial ischemia. This study aimed at observing the incidence of postoperative myocardial ischemia in patients submitted to abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, its correlation with Goldman’s modified cardiac risk index, with changes in the dipyridamole-thallium test and the risk factors for such population. METHODS: Participated in this retrospective study 65 patients submitted to abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. Risk factors, such as smoking, coronary artery disease, systemic hypertension and diabetes mellitus, were evaluated as well as the correlation among preoperative coronary artery disease, Goldman’s modified cardiac index risk and postoperative myocardial ischemia. The correlation between preoperative dipyridamole-thallium test and postoperative cardiac complications was also evaluated. RESULTS: Approximately 80% of patients were smokers, 55% were hypertensive, 8% had diabetes mellitus and 25% of patients presented with coronary artery disease. Among coronary artery disease patients, five patients had preoperative angina with an incidence of 40% of postoperative myocardial ischemia and 6.2% of myocardial infarction. In our study, 14% of Goldman’s modified II and 33% of Goldman’s modified III had postoperative myocardial ischemia. Sixteen patients (24%) were submitted to preoperative dipyridamole- thallium test and 10 patients (62%) presented reperfusion defects. Positive dipyridamole-thallium test predictive value was 20% for postoperative myocardial ischemia with a negative predictive value of 83% and sensitivity of 66%. CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of cardiac complications as predicted by Goldman’s modified index was not compatible with the theoretical risk of such index. Patients with preoperative angina had a high percentage (40%) of postoperative ischemia and dypiramidole-thalium test had a low ischemia-predicting value.
