Abstract

Several advances have occurred during the past two decades in the management of patients with end-stage heart disease. Cardiac transplantation is the best therapeutic modality to achieve long-term survival for these patients. Cardiac transplantation was performed in 18 patients (13 male and 5 female) during a three-year period. The mean age was 44.7±14.1 years (21-63 years). The etiology was idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy in 10 patients, and ischemic cardiomyopathy in seven. Orthotopic cardiac transplantation was performed using the biatrial technique. The mean cardiac ischemia time was 170.7±61.7 minutes (101-335 min.). Triple-drug immunosuppression (cyclosporin A, prednisone, azathioprine) was given in all patients. Rejection was monitored by routine endomyocardial biopsy. All patients underwent annual coronary angiography. Results: Perioperative mortality was 11.1% with 2 deaths. Prolonged intubation was needed in 1 patient. Acute renal failure requiring dialysis was seen in 2 patients. One patient died from sepsis, 1 from hemophagocytic syndrome, 2 from aspergillus pneumonia, and 1 from staphylococcus pneumonia. All deaths were doserved within postoperative 6 months. Grade IIIA or greater rejection necessitating treatment was encountered in 7 patients. Conclusion: Our preliminary results encourage us to continue transplantation practice. Close monitoring of rejection and infection is necessary in cardiac transplant patients.

Özet

Amaç: Son dönem kalp yetersizliğindeki olguların tedavisinde son 20 yılda birçok gelişme gözlenmiştir. Kardiyak transplantasyon bu olgularda uzun dönem sağ kalım oranına sahip en uygun tedavi yöntemidir. Materyal ve Metod: Son 3 yıllık periyotta kliniğimizde 18 olguya kardiyak transplantasyon uygulanmıştır. Hastaların 5'i kadın 13'ü erkek idi. Yaş ortalaması 44.7±14.1 idi (21-63 yaş). Etiyoloji 10 hastada idiopatik dilate kardiyomiyopati, 7 hastada ise iskemik kardiyomiyopati idi. Tüm olgularda biatrial teknikle ortotopik KT uygulandı. Ortalama kardiyak iskemi süresi 171,4±78.5 dakikadır (101-335 dakika). Hastaların tümüne üçlü immunosüpresif tedavi protokolü (siklosporin A, prednisone, azathioprine) uygulanmıştır. Rejeksiyon izleminde rutin olarak endomiyokardiyal biyopsi kullanılmıştır. Tüm olgular yılda bir kez koroner anjiyografi uygulanmaktadır. Bulgular: Perioperatif mortalite 2 olgu ile %11.1'dir. Bir olguda uzamış entübasyon, 2 olguda da erken dönemde akut böbrek yetersizliği gelişmiştir. Bir olgu sepsis, 1 olgu hemofagositik sendrom, 2 olgu aspergillus pnömonisi, 1 olgu da stafilokok pnömonisi nedeniyle kaybedilmiştir. Mortalitelerin hepsi postoperatif ilk 6 ay içinde gözlenmiştir. Yedi olguda tedavi gerektiren Grade IIIA veya üstü rejeksiyon saptanmıştır. Tartışma: Kardiyak transplantasyondaki ilk deneyimlerimizin sonuçları ümit vericidir. Kardiyak transplantasyon uygulanan olgular rejeksiyon ve enfeksiyon yönünden yakın takip edilmelidir.
