- ABO-Incompatible Liver Transplantation in Acute Liver Failure: A Single Portuguese Center StudyPublication . Mendes, M; Ferreira, AC; Ferreira, A; Remédio, F; Aires, I; Cordeiro, A; Mascarenhas, A; Martins, A; Pereira, P; Glória, H; Perdigoto, R; Veloso, J; Ferreira, P; Oliveira, J; Silva, M; Barroso, E; Nolasco, FINTRODUCTION: ABO-incompatible liver transplantation (ABOi LT) is considered to be a rescue option in emergency transplantation. Herein, we have reported our experience with ABOi LT including long-term survival and major complications in these situations. PATIENT AND METHODS: ABOi LT was performed in cases of severe hepatic failure with imminent death. The standard immunosuppression consisted of basiliximab, corticosteroids, tacrolimus, and mycophenolate mofetil. Pretransplantation patients with anti-ABO titers above 16 underwent plasmapheresis. If the titer was above 128, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) was added at the end of plasmapheresis. The therapeutic approach was based on the clinical situation, hepatic function, and titer evolution. A rapid increase in titer required five consecutive plasmapheresis sessions followed by administration of IVIG, and at the end of the fifth session, rituximab. RESULTS: From January 2009 to July 2012, 10 patients, including 4 men and 6 women of mean age 47.8 years (range, 29 to 64 years), underwent ABOi LT. At a mean follow-up of 19.6 months (range, 2 days to 39 months), 5 patients are alive including 4 with their original grafts. One patient was retransplanted at 9 months. Major complications were infections, which were responsible for 3 deaths due to multiorgan septic failure (2 during the first month); rejection episodes (4 biopsy-proven of humoral rejections in 3 patients and 1 cellular rejection) and biliary. CONCLUSION: The use of ABOi LT as a life-saving procedure is justifiable in emergencies when no other donor is available. With careful recipient selection close monitoring of hemagglutinins and specific immunosuppression we have obtained acceptable outcomes.
- Abordagem Mini Invasiva da Necrose Pancreática InfectadaPublication . Oliveira Martins, F; Amado, P; Mulet, J; Veiga de Macedo, M; Vaz da Silva, AA abordagem cirúrgica da pancreatite aguda grave está fundamentalmente centrada na complicação séptica da necrose. No doente com pancreatite aguda necrosante em sepsis severa ou shock séptico com síndrome de disfunção multiorgânica/falência multiorgânica (MODS/MOF) o objectivo principal é o controlo de foco séptico. Se possível deve proceder-se a drenagem percutânea com controlo imagiológico por Tomografia Computorizada ou ultrasonografia (TC/US) das colecções fluidas infectadas. No caso de sequestro sólido infectado, tem que se proceder a sequestrectomia, que quase invariavelmente tem de ser repetida. Não há uma técnica ideal, mas parece haver evidências que uma abordagem mini-invasiva repetida, está associada a menor morbilidade e menos complicações, limitando porventura a resposta inflamatória à agressão cirúrgica.

- Adenocarcinoma do Íleon. Uma Entidade Rara e de Diagnóstico TardioPublication . Nabais, C; Salústio, R; Bispo, C; Sousa, F; Porto, E; Cardoso, C; Silva, G; Caldeira Fradique, AINTRODUÇÃO A neoplasia do intestino delgado é uma entidade rara, apresentando uma incidência anual de cerca de 2.1 casos por 100,000 pessoas, sendo o adenocarcinoma, o segundo tipo histológico mais frequente (em 33% dos casos). A localização distal deste tipo de tumor é menos habitual, o que torna o adenocarcinoma do íleon num evento invulgar. A raridade deste tipo de patologia, associada a uma apresentação clínica pouco específica, origina habitualmente um atraso no diagnóstico e tratamento. CASO CLÍNICO Doente de 66 anos admitida no S.U. com quadro de dor abdominal localizada na fossa ilíaca direita com cerca de 6 dias de evolução e agravamento progressivo. Anorexia, náuseas e vómitos no dia de admissão. Empastamento doloroso à palpação na fossa ilíaca direita. Exames complementares revelaram tumor inflamatório do apêndice ileocecal. Intraoperatoriamente constatou-se neoformação com envolvimento do apêndice ileocecal, cego e segmento de íleon distal. Adenopatias na raíz do mesentério. Optou-se pela realização de hemicolectomia direita com ressecção em bloco de íleon distal. O resultado histológico revelou adenocarcinoma do íleon, que se estendia ao apêndice ileocecal e condicionando apendicite aguda (pT4N0). DISCUSSÃO/CONCLUSÃO Este caso apresenta uma patologia pouco frequente, caracterizada por um diagnóstico tardio e de difícil realização. Sublinhamos neste trabalho, a importância de um diagnóstico mais precoce e um tratamento adequado, de forma a obter um aumento da taxa de sobrevivência destes doentes.

- Adenocarcinoma of the Ileum: A Rare and Challenging EntityPublication . Nabais, C; Salústio, R; Sousa, F; Porto, E; Cardoso, C; Caldeira Fradique, AINTRODUCTION: Primary small bowel malignancy is unusual and accounts for 1-3% of all gastrointestinal tract neoplasms. Adenocarcinoma is one of the most common histologic types, but its frequency decreases with more distal locations. Its clinical presentation is nonspecific and is usually associated with advanced disease, which contributes to delayed diagnosis. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 66-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital with a 6-day history of progressively worsening abdominal pain localized in the right lower quadrant, nausea, and vomiting. Investigation revealed an inflammatory appendiceal tumor. The patient underwent surgery and an unexpected tumor involving the distal ileal segment and ileocecal appendix was found. Right radical hemicolectomy with en bloc resection of the distal ileum was performed. Histopathological examination revealed adenocarcinoma of the ileum. DISCUSSION: This rare entity is associated with a nonspecific clinical presentation that contributes to delayed diagnosis and treatment, and consequently to a worse prognosis. Approximately half of the cases are only diagnosed at surgery. Primary treatment consists of wide resection with locoregional lymphadenectomy. The role of adjuvant chemotherapy has yet to be determined. CONCLUSION: This case demonstrates an unusual condition characterized by late and challenging diagnosis. We highlight the importance of an earlier diagnosis and optimal treatment for improved patient outcomes.
- Albumin-Bilirubin Grade and Tumor Burden Score Predict Outcomes Among Patients with Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma After Hepatic Resection: a Multi-Institutional Analysis.Publication . Munir, Muhammad Musaab; Endo, Yutaka; Lima, Henrique A; Alaimo, Laura; Moazzam, Zorays; Shaikh, Chanza; Poultsides, George A; Guglielmi, Alfredo; Aldrighetti, Luca; Weiss, Matthew; Bauer, Todd W; Alexandrescu, Sorin; Kitago, Minoru; Maithel, Shishir K; Pinto Marques, Hugo; Martel, Guillaume; Pulitano, Carlo; Shen, Feng; Cauchy, François; Koerkamp, Bas Groot; Endo, Itaru; Pawlik, Timothy M; SpringerBackground: The prognostic role of tumor burden score (TBS) relative to albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) grade among patients undergoing curative-intent resection of ICC has not been examined. Methods: We identified patients who underwent curative-intent resection for ICC between 1990 and 2017 from a multi-institutional database. Multivariable analysis was performed to assess the effect of TBS relative to ALBI grade on both short- and long-term outcomes. Results: Among 724 patients, 360 (49.7%) patients had low TBS and low ALBI grade, 142 (19.6%) patients had low TBS and high ALBI grade, 138 (19.1%) patients had high TBS and low ALBI grade, and 84 patients (11.6%) had high TBS and high ALBI grade. Decreased tumor burden was associated with better long-term outcomes among patients with both low (5-year OS; low TBS vs. high TBS: 52.4% vs 21.4%; p < 0.001) and high ALBI grade (5-year OS; low TBS vs. high TBS: 40.7% vs 12.0%; p < 0.001). On multivariable analysis, higher ALBI grade was associated with greater odds of an extended hospital LOS (> 10 days) (OR 2.80, 95%CI 1.62-4.82; p < 0.001), perioperative transfusion (OR 2.04, 95%CI 1.25-3.36; p = 0.005), 90-day mortality (OR 2.56, 95%CI 1.12-5.81; p = 0.025), as well as a major complication (OR 1.99, 95%CI 1.13-3.49; p = 0.016) among patients with similar tumor burden. Of note, patients with high TBS and high ALBI grade had markedly worse overall survival compared with patients who had low TBS and low ALBI grade disease (HR 2.27; 95%CI 1.44-3.59; p < 0.001). Importantly, high TBS and high ALBI grade were strongly associated with both early recurrence (88.1%%) and 5-year risk of death (96.4%). Conclusion: Both TBS (i.e., tumor morphology) and ALBI grade (i.e., hepatic function reserve) were strong predictors of outcomes among patients undergoing ICC resection. There was an interplay between TBS and ALBI grade relative to patient prognosis after hepatic resection of ICC with high ALBI grade predicting worse outcomes among ICC patients with different TBS.
- An Attempt to Establish and Apply Global Benchmarks for Liver Resection of Malignant Hepatic TumorsPublication . Alaimo, L; Moazzam, Z; Lima, H; Endo, Y; Ruzzenente, A; Guglielmi, A; Ratti, F; Aldrighetti, L; Weiss, M; Bauer, T; Alexandrescu, S; Popescu, I; Poultsides, G; Maithel, S; Pinto Marques, H; Martel, G; Pulitano, C; Shen, F; Cauchy, F; Koerkamp, B; Endo, I; Kitago, M; Aucejo, F; Sasaki, K; Fields, R.; Hugh, T; Lam, V; Pawlik, TBackground: Benchmarking is a process of continuous self-evaluation and comparison with best-in-class hospitals to guide quality improvement initiatives. We sought to define global benchmarks relative to liver resection for malignancy and to assess their achievement in hospitals in the United States. Methods: Patients who underwent curative-intent liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma, intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, or colorectal or neuroendocrine liver metastases between 2000 and 2019 were identified from an international multi-institutional database. Propensity score matching was conducted to balance baseline characteristics between open and minimally invasive approaches. Best-in-class hospitals were defined relative to the achievement rate of textbook oncologic outcomes and case volume. Benchmark values were established relative to best-in-class institutions. The achievement of benchmark values among hospitals in the National Cancer Database was then assessed. Results: Among 2,624 patients treated at 20 centers, a majority underwent liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma (n = 1,609, 61.3%), followed by colorectal liver metastases (n = 650, 24.8%), intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (n = 299, 11.4%), and neuroendocrine liver metastases (n = 66, 2.5%). Notably, 1,947 (74.2%) patients achieved a textbook oncologic outcome. After propensity score matching, 6 best-in-class hospitals with the highest textbook oncologic outcome rates (≥75.0%) were identified. Benchmark values were calculated for margin positivity (≤11.7%), 30-day readmission (≤4.1%), 30-day mortality (≤1.6%), minor postoperative complications (≤24.7%), severe complications (≤12.4%), and failure to achieve the textbook oncologic outcome (≤22.8%). Among the National Cancer Database hospitals, global benchmarks for margin positivity, 30-day readmission, 30-day mortality, severe complications, and textbook oncologic outcome failure were achieved in 62.9%, 27.1%, 12.1%, 7.1%, and 29.3% of centers, respectively. Conclusion: These global benchmarks may help identify hospitals that may benefit from quality improvement initiatives, aiming to improve patient safety and surgical oncologic outcomes.
- Análise Retrospectiva do Protocolo de Tratamento Utilizado na Consulta Multidisciplinar de Úlcera de Perna do Hospital dos Capuchos no Período entre 2002 e 1º Semestre 2006Publication . Dias Coelho, J; Clerigué, A; Neves, J; Pereira Alves, CAs úlceras de perna constituem uma importante patologia causando uma diminuição da qualidade de vida, hospitalizações frequentes e aumento da mortalidade e morbilidade. Têm uma incidência de 1% na população adulta, sendo que esta incidência atinge níveis de 10% nos escalões etários superiores a 70 anos. Cerca de 95% das úlceras são venosas, arteriais, mistas ou diabéticas, sendo as mais frequentes as úlceras venosas (70 a 80%). Com o objectivo de optimizar o tratamento e acompanhamento dos doentes com esta patologia, foi criada em 2002 uma Consulta de Referência Multidisciplinar de Úlcera de Perna, no Hospital dos Capuchos. Simultaneamente foi estabelecido um protocolo de referenciação/ tratamento com os Centros de Saúde da Unidade B da Sub-região de Saúde de Lisboa. Neste protocolo o doente é observado no contexto de uma equipa multidisciplinar. Os autores fizeram um estudo retrospectivo dos doentes observados nesta consulta no período entre 2002 e 1º semestre de 2006. Foram observados e acompanhados 294 novos doentes, tendo 80% idade superior a 60 anos. Em relação à etiologia das úlceras, 51,3% (n=151) eram venosas, 35,4% (n=104) eram diabéticas e 6,8% (n=20) eram arteriais. A área média das úlceras foi 23,9cm2 e o número médio de úlceras foi 1,6. A duração das úlceras tinha em 42,3% dos casos um período superior a 6 meses. Das 199 culturas positivas, 40,2% apresentavam Staphylococcus aureus, sendo 21,2% destes MRSA. Com o protocolo instituído, foi obtida uma taxa de cicatrização de 72,2%. 45,9% dos doentes tiveram uma cicatrização total da úlcera em menos de 2 meses, resultados estes que são muito positivos face às taxas de cicatrização de 6 meses referidas na literatura.
