INTRODUCTION: Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) is the standard of care for many diseases. However, survivors often present with serious complications resulting from acute and chronic toxicities and it is crucial to increase consciousness from treating physicians. AREAS COVERED: We performed a comprehensive review of the literature and critically examined recent available data, mostly using the PubMed and Medline search engines for original articles published over the last decade. Better understanding of many alloHCT-related disorders has shown that endothelial injury and vascular damage plays a critical role. EXPERT OPINION: The most widely studied endothelial injury syndromes (EIS) are veno-occlusive disease/sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS/VOD), graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD), and transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TA-TMA). TA-TMA, frequently underdiagnosed, needs to be clarified using certain criteria and, as a life-threatening condition, requires immediate and intensive treatment. The first-in-class complement inhibitor eculizumab has significantly improved outcomes in both the pediatric and adult population. Cardiovascular (CV) events are the second major cause of morbidity and mortality of alloHCT survivors, after GVHD. Long-term monitoring and management of CV risk is expected to also incorporate patient stratification with CV risk prediction models, early markers of vascular dysfunction or procoagulant activity, subclinical target organ damage, arterial stiffness, and subclinical atherosclerosis.
简介:异基因造血细胞移植(alloHCT)是许多疾病的标准治疗方法。然而,幸存者经常出现由急性和慢性毒性引起的严重并发症,因此提高治疗医生的意识至关重要。
涵盖领域:我们对文献进行了全面审查,并批判性地检查了最近可用的数据,主要使用 PubMed 和 Medline 搜索引擎搜索过去十年发表的原始文章。对许多 alloHCT 相关疾病的更好理解表明,内皮细胞损伤和血管损伤起着关键作用。
专家意见:研究最多的内皮损伤综合征(EIS)是静脉阻塞性疾病/窦状隙阻塞综合征(SOS/VOD)、移植物抗宿主病(GVHD)和移植相关血栓性微血管病(TA-TMA)。TA-TMA 常常被漏诊,需要使用某些标准来明确诊断,并且作为一种危及生命的疾病,需要立即进行强化治疗。首个补体抑制剂依库珠单抗显著改善了儿科和成人患者的预后。心血管(CV)事件是 alloHCT 幸存者发病率和死亡率的第二大主要原因,仅次于 GVHD。对 CV 风险的长期监测和管理预计还将包括使用 CV 风险预测模型、血管功能障碍或促凝活性的早期标志物、亚临床靶器官损伤、动脉僵硬度和亚临床动脉粥样硬化对患者进行分层。
