Resumo

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: O ventrículo único é uma cardiopatia complexa rara e grave, sem possibilidade de tratamento cirúrgico curativo, associada à alta mortalidade durante a primeira infância. O objetivo desse artigo foi descrever um caso raro de paciente adulto com ventrículo único não-operado que se internou para realização de valvoplastia pulmonar via hemodinâmica e acabou sendo submetido à cirurgia de Blalock-Taussig modificado e implante de marca-passo epicárdico. Teve como objetivo complementar chamar a atenção para as particularidades anestésicas do paciente adulto portador de cardiopatia congênita não-corrigida. RELATO DO CASO: Paciente de 34 anos, 60 kg, portadora de cardiopatia congênita complexa tipo ventrículo único, estenose infundibulovalvar pulmonar importante e hipertensão pulmonar moderada. Admitida no hospital sem condições de correção cirúrgica e com história pregressa de várias sangrias terapêuticas para tratamento de policitemia. Foi internada devido a piora da hipoxemia, um episódio de síncope e bloqueio atrioventricular total (BAVT) de início recente. À internação apresentava estabilidade hemodinâmica, freqüência cardíaca de 42 bpm, SpO2 de 73%, cianose central e de extremidades e pressão arterial de 120 × 70 mmHg. Foi proposta a realização de cateterismo e valvoplastia pulmonar via hemodinâmica. Por causa da impossibilidade de realização dessa técnica com sucesso, foi indicada a realização de cirurgia de Blalock-Taussig com implante de marca-passo. O procedimento foi realizado no dia seguinte sem intercorrências e a paciente teve alta hospitalar sete dias após o procedimento cirúrgico com SpO2 de 85%, hematócrito de 49% e melhora da dispnéia. CONCLUSÕES: O sucesso do procedimento anestésico para correção cirúrgica de cardiopatia congênita complexa demanda conhecimento da fisiopatologia da doença, bem como das particularidades inerentes à técnica anestésica utilizada.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Univentricular heart is a complex, rare, and severe cardiopathy, with no possibility of curative surgical treatment, associated with a high mortality in the first years of life. The objective of this article was to describe a rare case of an adult patient with uncorrected single ventricle who was admitted for pulmonary valvuloplasty but was submitted to a modified Blalock-Taussig and placement of an epicardic pacemaker. The complementary objective of this report was to address the anesthetic particularities of adult patients with uncorrected congenital cardiopathy. CASE REPORT: A 34 years old female patient, weighing 60 kg, with a complex congenital cardiopathy with a single ventricle, important infundibular pulmonary stenosis and moderate pulmonary hypertension was admitted to the hospital without conditions to undergo surgical correction. The patient had a history several therapeutic bleedings to treat polycythemia. She was admitted due to worsening hypoxemia, an episode of syncope, and recent onset of third degree atrioventricular block. On admission, the patient was hemodynamically stable, heart rate of 42 bpm, SpO2 73%, central cyanosis and cyanosis of the extremities, and blood pressure 120 × 70 mmHg. Cardiac catheterization and pulmonary valvuloplasty were proposed. Due to the impossibility of success of this technique, Blalock-Taussig procedure with placement of a pacemaker was indicated. The procedure was performed in the following day without intercurrences, and the patient was discharged 7 days after the surgery, with SpO2 85%, hematocrit 49%, and improvement of the dyspnea. CONCLUSIONS: The success of anesthesia for surgical correction of complex congenital cardiopathy requires knowledge on the pathophysiology of the disorder, as well as the particularities inherent to the anesthetic technique used.
