Abstract

A three-month-old girl underwent corrective surgery for total anomalous pulmonary venous connection. Despite nitroglycerin infusion, pulmonary hypertensive crises developed on the second postoperative day. Sildenafil citrate was administered through a nasogastric tube at a starting dose of 0.5 mg/kg/24 h by stepwise increments to a maximum dose of 2 mg/kg/24 h. Sildenafil lowered pulmonary arterial pressure and the patient was successfully weaned from mechanical respiratory support without any pulmonary hypertensive crises. The dramatic relief of a complicated postoperative course showed indirectly that the decrease in pulmonary pressure was sufficient. No adverse effects were seen associated with sildenafil administration. Oral sildenafil is a safe and potent adjunct to the existing therapies for postoperative pulmonary hypertension in infants undergoing open heart surgery.

Özet

Üç aylık kız çocuğunda, total anormal pulmoner venöz dönüş anomalisi nedeniyle tam düzeltme yapıldıktan sonra, nitrogliserin perfüzyonuna rağmen ameliyat sonrası ikinci gün pulmoner hipertansif kriz gelişti. Nazogastrik tüp yoluyla oral sildenafil tedavisi 0.5 mg/kg/24 sa dozuyla başlanıp, doz kademeli olarak artırılarak 2 mg/kg/24 sa dozuna kadar yükseltildi. Sildenafil pulmoner basıncı düşürdü ve hasta mekanik ventilasyon desteğinden pulmoner hipertansif kriz olmaksızın başarıyla ayrıldı. Komplike bir ameliyat sonrası döneminin sildenafile başlandıktan sonra düzelmesi pulmoner basıncın düştüğünü dolaylı olarak göstermektedir. Hastada sildenafile bağlı herhangi bir yan etki gelişmedi. Bu ilacın açık kalp cerrahisi geçirmiş bebeklerde pulmoner hipertansif profilaksisinde güvenli bir şekilde kullanılabileceğini ve etkin bir rol oynayabileceğini düşünüyoruz.
