Hipertensión pulmonar en paciente con talidomida

Abstract

Objetivo: Describir un caso probable de desarrollo de hipertension pulmonar (HP) secundario al tratamiento con talidomida para la prevencion secundaria de sangrado gastrointestinal por angiodisplasias. Case Summary: Mujer de 61 anos de edad en tratamiento cronico con acenocumarol debido a protesis valvular mitral, con ingresos repetidos por sangrado gastrointestinal por presentar angiodisplasias intestinales y anemia ferropenica llegando a ser dependiente de transfusiones. Inicio tratamiento como prevencion secundaria del sangrado gastrointestinal con talidomida 50 mg diarios. Tras cuatro meses de tratamiento, la paciente alcanzo niveles de hemoglobina estables (12,8 mg/dl) y no volvio a presentar episodios de sangrado, ingreso por presentar aumento de su disnea habitual objetivandose hipertension pulmonar severa (HP) mediante ecocardiografia que se asocio al tratamiento con talidomida. Se suspendio el tratamiento y mejoro notablemente su situacion clinica. Discusion: Diversos casos han sido publicados sobre el tratamiento farmacologico preventivo secundario de la hemorragia digestiva secundaria a angiodisplasias con talidomida con unos resultados favorables. En nuestro caso, la paciente presento buena respuesta a dicha indicacion, pero se tuvo que interrumpir por el empeoramiento significativo de la HP. Existen casos publicados de la asociacion de talidomida y HP. La mayoria utilizando una dosis de 100-400 mg diarios. En nuestro caso se desarrollo a dosis de 50 mg. Segun la escala Naranjo de probabilidad, se presento una asociacion probable. Conclusiones: Los profesionales de la salud deben tener consciencia del riesgo de desarrollar HP al inicio del tratamiento con talidomida. Han de identificarse los factores de riesgo y patologias que cursen con disfuncion endotelial y hacer una valoracion mas exacta del beneficio-riesgo del tratamiento.
