Síndrome da Veia Cava Superior Online (Superior Vena Cava Syndrome)

Por Paulo Leite 17/12/2018

¨A síndrome da veia cava superior (SVCS), por definição, é a expressão clínica da obstrução ao fluxo sanguíneo na veia cava superior. A síndrome clínica tem uma gradação nas manifestações que é correlata ao grau de obstrução da veia no mediastino. A SVCS resulta de qualquer condição que leva à obstrução de seu fluxo sanguíneo. A obstrução pode ser causada pela invasão ou compressão externa da VCS por um processo patológico que envolva o lado do pulmão direito, os nódulos linfáticos e outras estruturas do mediastino, ou por trombose no interior da VCS. Em alguns casos, tanto a compressão externa quanto a trombose podem coexistir. Detectar os sinais iniciais da síndrome como o edema facial matutino é tarefa diária do pneumologista ou cirurgião torácico. A dispnéia, a pletora facial e o edema cervicofacial são os sintomas mais freqüentes e até 60% dos pacientes chegam aos consultórios com estas queixas. O edema intersticial da cabeça e pescoço é visualmente impressionante, mas geralmente de pouca importância clínica. No entanto, o edema pode limitar o lúmen das vias nasais e da laringe e, potencialmente, comprometer a função da laringe e faringe, causando dispneia, estridor, tosse, rouquidão e disfagia. Mais recentemente, a incidência da SVCS devido à trombose aumentou, principalmente devido ao aumento do uso de dispositivos intravasculares, como cateteres venosos centrais e fios de marca-passo. A síndrome da veia cava superior (SVCS) de origem benigna representa 5-22% dos casos. Entre as principais causas benignas, estão a fibrose mediastinal, a seqüela pós-radiação, os cateteres venosos centrais, os marca-passos cardíacos, as fístulas arteriovenosas e os cateteres de hemodiálise.O tratamento da SVCS tem sido indicado para os pacientes sintomáticos. O manejo inicial constitui-se de medidas clínicas que visam ao alívio dos sintomas e a diminuição do edema no território drenado pela veia cava superior (VCS). O tratamento cirúrgico convencional ainda é a terapêutica mais freqüentemente utilizada para os casos refratários aos tratamentos menos invasivos, especialmente em pacientes mais jovens.Devido à baixa morbidade e aos resultados satisfatórios a médio prazo, as angioplastias venosas vêm se tornando o tratamento paliativo preferencial para a SVCS de origem maligna. O tratamento endovascular tem sido utilizado com sucesso em casos benignos de lesões pós-trombóticas, cicatrizes fibróticas pós-operatórias e pós-cateteres de longa permanência, hiperplasia intimal e lesões venosas pós-radioterapia. “
