Data on severe heart valve disease (HVD), including Libman-Sacks endocarditis, associated with SLE and/or APS requiring valvular surgery are scarce. We thus conducted a retrospective study, aimed at describing and clarifying clinical, laboratory, echocardiographic, histopathological and evolutional features of SLE and/or APS patients with severe associated-HVD.
An observational retrospective multicentric analysis of 23 adults with SLE and/or APS and HVD between 1996 and 2019 and available histopathological report evaluating long-term follow-up.
Twenty-three individuals (20 females, median age 37 [range 17-76] years) were included. All had APS (thrombotic in 22, with an arterial phenotype in 15 and with catastrophic APS [CAPS] in six), and 11 (47%) had SLE. Systemic underlying disease had been diagnosed prior to HVD in 12 (52%). In 10 patients (43%), HVD was complicated by cerebral stroke prior to surgery. Twenty patients (87%) had only one pathological valve, the mitral valve in 18 patients (78%). Valvular thickening (n = 19) and valvular regurgitation (n = 19) were the most frequently reported lesions. Fifteen (62%) patients underwent mechanical valve replacement, six (26%) conservative valve repair (five were later re-operated after a median time of 1 [0-4] year), and two (9%) underwent biological valve replacement. Nine patients (39%) presented early-onset post-operative complications, including three CAPS immediately after surgery and one death. After surgery, 18 patients (78%) had normal postoperative valvular function, but almost half of the patients (43%) had post-operative neurological sequelae (median follow-up of 6 [2-20] years).
Severe HVD leading to surgery was strongly associated with thrombotic APS, especially arterial phenotypes. Half of the reported patients presented cerebral stroke complicating the HVD. Valvular surgery carried a significant risk of CAPS.
关于严重心脏瓣膜病(HVD),包括与系统性红斑狼疮(SLE)和/或抗磷脂综合征(APS)相关的Libman - Sacks心内膜炎且需要进行瓣膜手术的数据稀缺。因此,我们开展了一项回顾性研究,旨在描述和阐明患有严重相关HVD的SLE和/或APS患者的临床、实验室、超声心动图、组织病理学及病情演变特征。
对1996年至2019年间23例患有SLE和/或APS及HVD的成年人进行一项观察性回顾性多中心分析,并获取评估长期随访情况的组织病理学报告。
纳入23例个体(20例女性,中位年龄37岁[范围17 - 76岁])。所有患者均患有APS(22例为血栓形成型,其中15例为动脉型,6例为灾难性抗磷脂综合征[CAPS]),11例(47%)患有SLE。12例(52%)患者在HVD之前已诊断出全身性基础疾病。10例患者(43%)在手术前HVD并发脑卒。20例患者(87%)仅有一个病变瓣膜,其中18例(78%)为二尖瓣。瓣膜增厚(n = 19)和瓣膜反流(n = 19)是最常报告的病变情况。15例(62%)患者接受了机械瓣膜置换,6例(26%)接受了保守瓣膜修复(其中5例在中位时间1年[0 - 4年]后再次手术),2例(9%)接受了生物瓣膜置换。9例患者(39%)出现早期术后并发症,包括术后立即发生3例CAPS和1例死亡。术后,18例患者(78%)瓣膜功能正常,但几乎一半的患者(43%)有术后神经后遗症(中位随访时间6年[2 - 20年])。
导致手术的严重HVD与血栓形成型APS密切相关,尤其是动脉型。报告的患者中有一半出现了并发HVD的脑卒。瓣膜手术有发生CAPS的重大风险。
