RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to prospectively investigate the long-term cardiovascular and pulmonary hemodynamic effects of surgical shunt for treatment of portal hypertension (PH) due to Schistosomiasis mansoni. LOCATION: The University of São Paulo Medical School, Brazil; Public Practice. METHODS: Hemodynamic evaluation was performed with transesophageal Doppler and contrast-enhanced echocardiography (ECHO) on twenty-eight participants with schistosomal portal hypertension. Participants were divided into two groups according to the surgical procedure used to treat their schistosomal portal hypertension within the last two years: group 1-distal splenorenal shunt (DSRS, n = 13) and group 2-esophagogastric devascularization and splenectomy (EGDS, n = 15). RESULTS: The cardiac output (5.08 ± 0.91 L/min) and systolic volume (60.1 ± 5.6 ml) were increased (p = 0.001) in the DSRS group. DSRS participants had a significant increase (p < 0.0001) in their left ventricular end-systolic and end-diastolic diameters as well as in their left ventricular end-diastolic and end-systolic volumes (p < 0.001) compared with the preoperative period. No statistically significant difference was found in the patients who underwent EGDS. ECHO revealed intrapulmonary vasodilatation (IPV) in 18 participants (64%), 9 DSRS and 9 EGDS (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The late increase in the cardiac output, stroke volume and left ventricular diameters demonstrated left ventricular dilatation after a distal splenorenal shunt. ECHO revealed a greater prevalence for IPV in patients with schistosomiasis than has previously been described in patients with PH from liver cirrhosis.

O presente estudo avaliou comparativamente o padrão hemodinâmico e a presença de vasodilatação intrapulmonar antes e após tratamento cirúrgico tardio (> 2 anos) da hipertensão portal através da desconexão ázigo portal com esplenectomia (DAPE) e anastomose esplenorenal distal (AERD) na esquistossomose mansônica forma hepatoesplênica. Foram estudados prospectivamente 37 pacientes portadores de hipertensão portal secundária a esquistossomose mansônica confirmada por biópsia hepática , sendo 21 pacientes do sexo masculino e 16 do sexo feminino, com idade média de 46,6 + 12 anos, no período de janeiro de 2007 a dezembro de 2008. A avaliação do padrão hemodinâmico sistêmico foi realizada através do Doppler transesofágico (Cardio QÒ) e da ecocardiografia bidimensional com Doppler nos pacientes dos grupos AERD (n=13) e DAPE (n=15) . Os resultados obtidos foram comparados com grupo controle constituído por 10 pacientes sem hipertensão portal submetidos à endoscopia digestiva alta para avaliação de dispepsia. A avaliação da presença de síndrome hepatopulmonar foi realizada em todos os pacientes através da ecocardiografia contrastada com infusão salina 0,9% nos grupos DAPE (n=15), AERD (n=13) e pré-operatório (n=9). Os pacientes que apresentavam vasodilatação intrapulmonar no período pré-operatório repetiram o exame após 30 dias do procedimento cirúrgico. Em relação ao padrão hemodinâmico sistêmico observou-se aumento significativo (p =0,001) do débito cardíaco no grupo AERD (5,08 ± 0,91 L/min) em relação ao controle (4,17 ± 0,52 L/min). Ao contrário, os pacientes submetidos à DAPE (4,36 ± 0,59 L/min) não apresentaram diferença estatística significante (p = 0,47) em relação ao controle (4,17 ± 0,52 L/min). Os pacientes do grupo AERD apresentaram aumento estatisticamente significante (p = 0,001) do volume sistólico (60,1 + 5,6 ml) em relação ao controle (53,2 + 5,6 ml), enquanto que não houve diferença significativa (p = 0,41) nos pacientes submetidos à DAPE...
This study is a comparative analysis of the hemodynamic pattern and presence of intrapulmonary vasodilatation in hepatoesplenic mansoni schistosomiasis before and after surgical treatment (> 2 years) of portal hypertension by esophagogastric devascularization with splenectomy (EGDS) and distal splenorenal shunt (DSRS). 37 patients with portal hypertension secondary to hepatosplenic mansoni schistosomiasis confirmed by liver biopsy were prospectively studied between January 2007 to December 2008. 21 patients were male and 16 were female, with an mean age of 46.6 +12 years. The hemodynamic evaluation was performed by transesophageal doppler (Cardio QÒ) and Doppler echocardiography in DSRS (n=13) and EGDS (n=15) patients. The results were compared with a control group of 10 patients without portal hypertension submitted to upper digestive endoscopy for dyspepsia evaluation The presence of pulmonary vasodilatation was evaluated in all patients by contrastenhanced echocardiography with saline solution 0,9% in DSRS (n=15), EGDS (n=13) and preoperative (n=9) groups. Patients with intrapulmonary vasodilation in the preoperative period repeated the exam 30 days after surgical treatment of portal hypertension by a devascularization procedure. Systemic hemodynamic evaluation by transesophageal Doppler revealed a significant increase in cardiac output (p =0.001) in the DSRS (5,08 ± 0,91 L/min) patients in relation to control group (4,17 ± 0,52 L/min). By contrast, patients submitted to EGDS (4,36 ± 0,59 L/min) present no increase in cardiac output (p = 0.47) when compared with control group (4,17 ± 0,52 L/min). The DSRS patients presented a statistically significant increase (p = 0.001) in systolic volume (60,1 + 5,6 ml) in relation to the control (53,2 + 5,6 ml), while no significant difference (p = 0.41) was observed in EGDS group (56 ± 9,4 ml). There was no statistically significant difference between heart rate and mean arterial pressure between groups...
