Utilidad del ecocardiograma transesofágico en pacientes jóvenes con ictus de origen desconocido y bajo riesgo cardiovascular

Abstract

Fundamento y objetivo El ictus es una enfermedad de gran morbimortalidad. Hasta en un 40% de pacientes jovenes no se llegaba a conocer la causa (ictus criptogenico) y las posibilidades terapeuticas eran escasas. Sin embargo, la ecocardiografia transesofagica (ETE) y el descubrimiento de nuevas causas de ictus estan cambiando la actitud en estos pacientes. Pacientes y metodo Se incluyo a 100 pacientes consecutivos de 55 anos o menos ingresados en el Servicio de Neurologia por ictus criptogenico a los que se les realizo ecocardiografia transtoracica y ETE. Resultados La edad media (desviacion estandar) fue 45,5 (9,7) anos. La ETE fue normal en 49 pacientes y patologica en 51: foramen oval permeable (FOP) en 29 pacientes, aneurisma del septo interauricular (ASA) aislado en 1 paciente, FOP asociado a ASA en 12 pacientes, algun tipo de tumoracion en 5 pacientes y ateromatosis aortica de grado avanzado en 4 pacientes. Asi, se encontro una causa de ictus en el 51% de los pacientes. Los hallazgos cambiaron la actitud clinica en 46 pacientes (90,2% de las ETE patologicas), por lo que se indico tratamiento percutaneo en 38 pacientes, cirugia en 3 pacientes y la administracion de anticoagulantes orales en 5 pacientes. Conclusiones La ETE encontro al menos una anomalia que justificara el ictus en el 51% de los pacientes con ictus criptogenico y bajo riesgo cardiovascular. Este hallazgo produjo un cambio en la actitud clinica y terapeutica en el 90% de los pacientes con alguna alteracion detectada por ETE. Esta tecnica parece de utilidad para el diagnostico y para la toma de decisiones terapeuticas en estos pacientes.
