Introdução: as alças vasculares podem prover o suprimento sanguíneo adequado para um retalho microcirúrgico em um leito desfavorável, como fratura exposta ou área irradiada após a ressecção de tumores. Apesar de realizadas na prática clínica, há falta de estudos demonstrando quais os fatores são responsáveis pelo seu sucesso. Objetivo: avaliar, em coelhos, qual é a influência do desenho da alça de veia femoral com anastomose na artéria femoral, na presença de fluxo (patência) após sete dias. Método: Trinta e nove coelhos foram submetidas à microanastomose arteriovenosa com técnica microcirúrgica. As alças foram acomodadas em dois desenhos, um, chamado \"circular\" e outro, o mais alongado possível sem dobras na alça. Os parâmetros avaliados foram: presença ou não de fluxo, sinais de hemólise, alterações hemodinâmicas sofridas pela veia submetida à pressão arterial. Resultados: Após sete dias, o fluxo estava presente em 68% das alças \"anguladas\" e em 75% das alças \"circulares\" (p > 0,05). Houve, intragrupo, diminuição estatisticamente significante da pCO2 e aumento estatisticamente significante do pH. Não houve diferença estatisticamente significante no restante dos parâmetros avaliados entre os dois modelos de alça. Conclusão: O desenho da alça vascular arteriovenosa na pata do coelho não interfere na sua patência em um período de sete dias / Introduction: the vascular loops can provide adequate blood supply to a microsurgical flap in an unfavorable bed as open fracture or irradiated area after resection of tumors. Although performed in clinical practice, there is a lack of studies showing which factors are responsible for their success. Objective: To evaluate, in rabbits, which is the influence in the presence of flow (patency) of femoral vein loop design in anastomosis of the femoral artery after seven days. Method: Thirty-nine rabbits were subjected to arteriovenous microanastomosis with microsurgical technique. The loops were accommodated in two designs, one named \"circular\" and the other, the more elongated possible without folds. The parameters evaluated were: presence or absence of flow, hemolysis, hemodynamic changes suffered by vein submitted to blood pressure. Results: After seven days, the flow was present in 68% of angled loops and 75% of the \"circular\" loops (p > 0.05). There was intra-group, statistically significant decrease in the pCO2 and statistically significant increase in pH. There was no statistically significant difference in the rest of the parameters evaluated between the two loop models. Conclusion: The design of arteriovenous vascular loops in the rabbit paw does not interfere with its patency over a period of seven days

Les troubles cognitifs postopératoires sont fréquents après une chirurgie cardiaque, variant entre 26 % à 70 %. Bien que diverses hypothèses expliquent leur pathogenèse, la congestion veineuse représente une hypothèse prometteuse. Des études ont associé le délirium à des signes échographiques de congestion veineuse tels que la pulsatilité du Doppler de la veine porte et rénale. Détecter la congestion veineuse pourrait potentiellement prédire le trouble cognitif, facilitant ainsi sa gestion. Une technique prometteuse, mais peu explorée, est l’évaluation de la congestion veineuse par le Doppler de la veine fémorale. Les objectifs de ce mémoire sont : (1) synthétiser les évidences sur la relation entre le Doppler de la veine fémorale et la congestion veineuse chez les adultes ; et (2) caractériser l’existence d’une association entre les trouble cognitifs et le Doppler pulsatile de la veine fémorale après une chirurgie cardiaque. Afin d’atteindre ces objectifs, nous avons effectué une revue rapide de littérature portant sur la corrélation entre le Doppler de la veine fémorale et la congestion veineuse. De plus, nous avons complété une étude (NCT05038267) dont l’objectif secondaire était de déterminer la corrélation entre un Doppler anormal de la veine fémorale et le délirium. Les résultats ont montré une association entre la congestion veineuse et Doppler pulsatile de la veine fémorale, ainsi qu’entre les troubles cognitifs et le Doppler anormal de la veine fémorale. Toutefois, des études approfondies sont nécessaires. En conclusion, un lien entre le Doppler de la veine fémorale, la congestion veineuse, et les troubles cognitifs après une chirurgie cardiaque a été démontré. Ces observations ouvrent la voie à des recherches approfondies sur ce lien et à de potentielles applications cliniques et thérapeutiques. / Postoperative cognitive disorders are common after cardiac surgery, ranging from 26% to 70%. While various hypotheses explain their pathogenesis, venous congestion emerges as a promising hypothesis. Studies have linked delirium to ultrasound signs of venous congestion, such as pulsatility in the Doppler of the portal and renal veins. Detecting venous congestion could potentially predict cognitive disorders, thus facilitating their management. A promising yet underexplored technique is the assessment of venous congestion using the Doppler of the femoral vein. The objectives of this thesis are: (1) to synthesize evidence on the relationship between FV Doppler characteristics and venous congestion in adults; and (2) to characterize the existence of an association between cognitive disorders and pulsatility in femoral vein Doppler after cardiac surgery. To achieve these objectives, we conducted a rapid literature review focusing on the correlation between femoral vein Doppler and venous congestion. Additionally, we completed a study (NCT05038267) with the secondary objective of determining the correlation between abnormal femoral vein Doppler and delirium. The results showed an association between venous congestion and pulsatility in the FV Doppler, as well as between cognitive disorders and abnormal FV Doppler. However, in-depth studies are needed. In conclusion a connection has been demonstrated between femoral vein Doppler, venous congestion, and cognitive disorders after cardiac surgery. These findings open the way for in-depth research on this link and potential clinical and therapeutic applications.
