Mesenteric cava anastomosis

Anastomosis mesentérico cava

Praderi, Raul C. - Mazza, Milton - Gomez Fossati, Carlos - Ituño, Carlos - Turturiello, Horacio - Kaufmann, Pedro

Resumen:

The authors discuss the technique of meso-caval shunts in its three historical stages: first, end to-end, then, side-to-end -the latter was used in 2 cases of portal thrombosis and in 3 of cirrhosis- and finally, with an interposition "H" graft. with autogenous vein or a Dacron's prosthesis. It may be necessary in portal thrombosis of splenectomized adults or in little children with a splenic vein of less than 1 cm diameter. In cirrhosis this technique is of choice when the hepatic pedicle cannot be reached and the patient has been splenectomized or when one does not want to resect a very large and attached spleen. The two patients with thrombosis had a satisfactory evolution and 2 of the cirrhotic ones stopped bleeding. However, all of the latter died during the post-operative course: 2 of them due to hepatic dysfunction and coma and the third one with a severe respiratory complication. In all cases they were patients of high risk, belonging to the "C" group of Child's classification.


Los autores analizan la técnica de la anastomosis mesentérico-cava en sus 3 períodos históricos: primero terminoterminales, luego lateroteninales -técnica ésta que aplicaron en 2 casos de trombosis portal y en 3 le cirrosis- y finalmente, con puente en "H" le vena o Dacrón. La indicación puede ser le necesidad en las trombosis portales de adultos esplenectomiza, dos o en niños pequeños con vena esplénica menor ele 1 cm le diámetro.En la cirosis esta técnica se aplica le elección cuando el pedículo hepático no es accesible y el paciente está esplenectomizado o no se quiere resecar un bazo muy grande y adherente. Los 2 pacientes con trombosis evolucionaron bien y 2 de los cirróticos dejaron de sangrar. Sin embargo todos estos últimos fallecieron en el postoperatorio: dos por ínsuficiencia y coma hepáticoy un tercero por complicación respiratoria grave. Se trataba en todos los casos de enfermos le gran riesgo, pertenecientes al grupo "C" de la clasificación dé Child.
