Abstract

An increasing number of pediatric patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCMP) undergo mechanical circulatory support (MCS), as a bridge to heart transplantation. Gastrointestinal complications in this population are rare, and the treatment is challenging. Patients with DCMP frequently present with heart failure symptoms, such as tachycardia, hypotension, respiratory distress, cyanosis, weak peripheral pulses, and inadequate feed. Rarely, gastrointestinal symptoms, such as nausea and ascites, may be noted if biventricular failure develops. Here we present a case of a 14-year-old girl with severe intractable diarrhea and malnutrition after being diagnosed with DCMP. After extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation, she was bridged to a long-term left ventricular assist device support. Her recovery was complicated with intractable diarrhea and malnutrition, which were critical. Thus, this case study aimed to emphasize that pediatric patients with DCMP having persistent diarrhea and malnutrition can be successfully treated with MCS.

Özet

Dilate kardiyomiyopatili (DKMP) çocuk hasta grubunda, kalp transplantasyonuna köprü olmayı amaçlayan mekanik dolaşım desteğine (MDD) ihtiyaç vardır. Bu popülasyonda gastrointestinal komplikasyonlar nadirdir ve tedavisi zordur. DKMP’li hastalar sıklıkla taşikardi, hipotansiyon, solunum sıkıntısı, siyanoz, zayıf periferik nabızlar ve beslenme isteksizliği gibi kalp yetersizliği semptomları ile başvururlar. Nadiren, biventriküler yetmezlik gelişirse mide bulantısı ve asit gibi gastrointestinal semptomlar görülebilir. Bu çalışmada, DKMP tanısı konulduktan sonra şiddetli, inatçı diyare ve yetersiz beslenmesi olan 14 yaşında bir kız çocuğunu sunuyoruz. Ekstrakorporeal kardiyopulmoner resüsitasyon sonrası uzun süreli sol ventrikül destek cihazı desteği sunulmuştur. İnatçı diyare ve malnütrisyonu olan DKMP çocuk hastaların MDD ile başarılı bir şekilde tedavi olduğunu vurgulamayı amaçlıyoruz.
