A novel adjustable pulmonary artery banding system for hypoplastic left heart syndrome
OBJECTIVE: Hypoplastic left heart syndrome remains a challenge for worldwide surgeons. Initial palliation employing bilateral pulmonary artery banding along with ductal stent implantation and atrial septostomy has been proposed as an alternative approach. However, the surgically placed bands are fixed and may become inadequate after sternum closure or with somatic growth of the patient. We describe the first case in which a neonate with hypoplastic left heart syndrome was initially managed using a mini banding system that allows for fine percutaneous adjustments of pulmonary blood flow. METHOD: Through a mid sternotomy, a 5 day-old neonate underwent bilateral pulmonary artery banding using this new system combined with placement of a main pulmonary artery to innominate artery shunt. RESULTS: The patient had an uneventful postoperative course. Three percutaneous adjustments of the banding system were necessary to keep the arterial oxygen saturation in the 75%-85% range. On the 48th day of life, she was submitted to stent placement (6 mm) within the atrial septum to treat a restrictive atrial septal defect. The Norwood operation and the bidirectional Glenn shunt were carried out on the 106th day of life. The bands were removed with no distortion of the pulmonary arteries. CONCLUSIONS: The clinical use of this innovative pulmonary artery banding system was feasible, safe and effective. It allowed for customization of the pulmonary blood flow according to the underlying clinical needs, resulting in a more precise balance between the pulmonary and systemic circulations.OBJETIVO: A Síndrome de Hipoplasia de Câmaras Esquerdas representa um grande desafio para cirurgiões do mundo inteiro. Atualmente, tem sido proposto procedimento paliativo alternativo, por meio da bandagem bilateral das artérias pulmonares associada à colocação de stent no canal arterial e atrioseptostomia. No entanto, as bandagens utilizadas são fixas, podendo tornar-se inadequadas após o fechamento do esterno ou com o rápido crescimento somático do paciente. Descrevemos a primeira aplicação clínica do novo dispositivo miniaturizado de bandagem ajustável das artérias pulmonares em neonato portador da síndrome de hipoplasia de câmaras esquerdas, o qual permitiu ajustes percutâneos precisos do fluxo sangüíneo pulmonar. MÉTODO: Através de esternotomia mediana, neonato de 5 dias de vida foi submetido à bandagem pulmonar bilateral, usando este novo dispositivo, combinada com interposição de tubo de PTFE entre o tronco pulmonar e o tronco braquiocefálico. RESULTADOS: O paciente apresentou boa evolução pós-operatória. Três ajustes percutâneos das bandagens foram necessários para manter a saturação arterial de oxigênio entre 75-85%. No 48º dia de vida, o paciente foi submetido a atrioseptostomia com colocação de stent (6 mm) para tratamento de comunicação interatrial restritiva. No 106º dia de vida, realizou-se operação de Norwood associada à anastomose cavopulmonar bilateral. As bandagens foram removidas, sem distorção das artérias pulmonares. CONCLUSÕES: O uso clínico deste sistema inovador de bandagem ajustável das artérias pulmonares mostrou-se factível, seguro e eficaz. Permitiu o ajuste fino do fluxo pulmonar de acordo com as necessidades clínicas, proporcionando um equilíbrio preciso entre as circulações pulmonar e sistêmica.Universidade de São Paulo Faculdade de MedicinaChildren's HospitalHospital Samaritano de São PauloUSP FM HCUniversidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)UNIFES Curso de Rastreamento Pré-Natal das Malformações CardíacasUniversidade de São Paulo Faculdade de Medicina Instituto do CoraçãoInstituto do Coração de IpatingaInstituto do Coração de Juiz de ForaHospital for Sick ChildrenInstituto Dante Pazzanese de CardiologiaInstituto Dante Pazzanese de Cardiologia Seção Médica de Intervenção em Cardiopatias CongênitasHospital Samaritano de São Paulo Laboratório de CateterismoAssociação Sanatório Sírio Hospital do CoraçãoUNIFESP, EPMSciEL
Nova bandagem ajustável das artérias pulmonares na Síndrome de Hipoplasia de Câmaras Esquerdas
The global burden of cancer attributable to risk factors, 2010-19 : a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019
Background Understanding the magnitude of cancer burden attributable to potentially modifiable risk factors is crucial for development of effective prevention and mitigation strategies. We analysed results from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019 to inform cancer control planning efforts globally. Methods The GBD 2019 comparative risk assessment framework was used to estimate cancer burden attributable to behavioural, environmental and occupational, and metabolic risk factors. A total of 82 risk-outcome pairs were included on the basis of the World Cancer Research Fund criteria. Estimated cancer deaths and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) in 2019 and change in these measures between 2010 and 2019 are presented. Findings Globally, in 2019, the risk factors included in this analysis accounted for 4.45 million (95% uncertainty interval 4.01-4.94) deaths and 105 million (95.0-116) DALYs for both sexes combined, representing 44.4% (41.3-48.4) of all cancer deaths and 42.0% (39.1-45.6) of all DALYs. There were 2.88 million (2.60-3.18) risk-attributable cancer deaths in males (50.6% [47.8-54.1] of all male cancer deaths) and 1.58 million (1.36-1.84) risk-attributable cancer deaths in females (36.3% [32.5-41.3] of all female cancer deaths). The leading risk factors at the most detailed level globally for risk-attributable cancer deaths and DALYs in 2019 for both sexes combined were smoking, followed by alcohol use and high BMI. Risk-attributable cancer burden varied by world region and Socio-demographic Index (SDI), with smoking, unsafe sex, and alcohol use being the three leading risk factors for risk-attributable cancer DALYs in low SDI locations in 2019, whereas DALYs in high SDI locations mirrored the top three global risk factor rankings. From 2010 to 2019, global risk-attributable cancer deaths increased by 20.4% (12.6-28.4) and DALYs by 16.8% (8.8-25.0), with the greatest percentage increase in metabolic risks (34.7% [27.9-42.8] and 33.3% [25.8-42.0]). Interpretation The leading risk factors contributing to global cancer burden in 2019 were behavioural, whereas metabolic risk factors saw the largest increases between 2010 and 2019. Reducing exposure to these modifiable risk factors would decrease cancer mortality and DALY rates worldwide, and policies should be tailored appropriately to local cancer risk factor burden.
