ABSTRACT

Introduction: protein-losing enteropathy may occur in the progression of patients with univentricular heart, who survived total cavopulmonary shunt. Once diagnosed, the mortality rate of the condition is high.
Objective: to identify the possible risk factor of this complication.
Methods: a prospective cohort study of the progression of 74 patients with total cavopulmonary shunt was conducted from January 1992 through January 2011. They had been operated on at "William Soler" pediatric cardiac center.
Results: the average time of progression was 8 years. In this group, 8.1 % of patients suffered protein-losing enteropathy that was more frequently seen in patients operated on by the intraatrial technique, aged over 6 years and in those suffering persistent pleural effusion in the immediate postoperative period. Significant statistical relation was found between enteropathy and postoperative ventricular dysfunction with RR= 11.45 (CI: 95 %: 2.37 to 55.16). The multivariate analysis showed that the ventricular dysfunction was a risk factor.
Conclusions: Detection of the ventricular dysfunction in the progression of a patient with cavopulmonary shunt should guide the treatment to avoid occurrence of proteinlosing enteropathy.
