Patología del trasplante cardiaco en el Perú: Experiencia con 61 casos en un centro de referencia nacional

Abstract: Routine histopathological evaluation of the explanted heart is essential to confirm the etiology of heart failure, especially in cases clinically diagnosed as dilated cardiomyopathy. In addition, routine follow-up through endomyocardial biopsies shows that acute cellular rejection is still a frequent complication after a heart transplant, especially within the first year, and that antibody-mediated rejection has a low incidence in our population.

“…Like ISHLT reports, our main indications were idiopathic DCM in 66.3% of HTx and ischaemic cardiomyopathy in 18.1% (21). Although Chagas disease continues to be a Latin American public health problem, we have no indications for HTx due to Chagas cardiomyopathy (7,22). We consider that this is related to the underreporting of cases, and this local factor should be reevaluated since we are still a Chagas endemic country (23).…”

“…Given this development, some Latin American countries have reported their results, showing that HTx programs are feasible in developing countries (6-8). Approximately nine transplants were performed in Peru during the 1990s in different national centers in Lima (1,7). Although this initiative was bringing unhurried but worthy results, it declined due to the lack of funding and political interest (1).…”

“…La media de edad en el registro español fue de 49,2±17,7 años y en el registro de ISHLT la mediana es de 55 (25-68) años (8) ; en Sudamérica, la mediana de edad en Brasil fue 48 años (38-56) (7) y en Argentina fue de 50±13 años (9) ; nuestra mediana de edad fue de 41 (28-56,2), la cual se mantiene en el tiempo, ya que Aguilar et al (10) encontraron una media de 40,1 años. En nuestro estudio se encontró que el grupo sanguíneo del receptor más común fue el grupo O con 70,9% de los pacientes, a diferencia de los hallazgos del ISHLT en donde el grupo sanguíneo predominante fue el A (8) .…”

“…La etiología subyacente más frecuente en nuestro estudio fue la cardiomiopatía dilatada, con una diferencia notable frente a la cardiopatía isquémica, corroborando lo hallado por Aguilar et al (10) donde el 50,8% de los pacientes tenía diagnóstico de cardiomiopatía dilatada. Esto difiere con los hallazgos argentinos Figura 3.…”

“…It was not until 1972 that the first HTx was carried out in Peru by Molina's team at Hospital Nacional Edgardo Rebagliati Martins. However, it was an isolated case, and it was until 1993 when the first Peruvian HTx National Program was created with Pacheco's team with some continuity 7 . For a while since the late 1990s, HTxs were not carried out.…”
