Abstract
Introduction and objectives

Sacubitril/valsartan (SV) is recommended in patients with heart failure, especially in reduced ejection fraction. So far, the safety of its use in perioperative cardiac surgery is uncertain but given its mechanism of action and possible blood pressure lowering effect, some guidelines recommend discontinuation, without clear evidence. This systematic review aims to assess clinical outcomes of use SV in the perioperative period compared with never having used it or its withdrawal.

Methods

Systematic literature review in MedLine, Cochrane, EMBASE and LILACs of studies published in English and Spanish. We included randomized clinical trials and non-randomized studies evaluating adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery that compared the use of SV up to the day of surgery versus stopping or not starting it prior to the procedure. In-hospital and 30-day mortality, length of stay in general ward and intensive care unit stay, orotracheal intubation, postoperative vasoplegia and need for renal replacement therapy were assessed. Quality was assessed using the ROBINS tool.

Results

Three non-randomized studies were included, one single-arm. There were fewer cases of in-hospital and 30-day mortality in the group in which SV was not discontinued, with no statistically significant difference. There was no difference in length of hospital or intensive care unit stay, orotracheal intubation, need for renal replacement therapy, or frequency of postoperative vasoplegia (OR, 0.77; 95%CI, 0.23–2.98).

Conclusions

The current evidence is scarce and of low quality so a recommendation regarding the use of SV prior to cardiac surgery cannot be generated, further studies are required.

Resumen
Introducción y objetivos

El sacubitrilo-valsartán (SV) está recomendado en pacientes con falla cardiaca, especialmente en caso de fracción de eyección reducida. Hasta ahora, no se sabe con certeza la seguridad de su uso en el perioperatorio de cirugía cardiaca, pero dado su mecanismo de acción y el posible efecto en reducción de la presión arterial, algunas guías recomiendan suspenderlo, sin evidencia clara al respecto. Esta revisión sistemática busca evaluar los resultados clínicos del uso de SV en el periodo perioperatorio en comparación con no haberlo usado nunca o su suspensión.

Métodos

Revisión sistemática de la literatura en MedLine, Cochrane, EMBASE y LILACs de estudios publicados en español e inglés. Se incluyeron experimentos clínicos aleatorizados y estudios no aleatorizados que evaluaran pacientes adultos llevados a cirugía cardiaca, que compararan el uso de SV hasta el día de la cirugía frente a suspenderlo o no iniciarlo previo al procedimiento. Se evaluó mortalidad intrahospitalaria y a 30 días, duración de estancia hospitalaria en sala general y en cuidado intensivo, vasoplejía posoperatoria, necesidad de intubación orotraqueal y de tratamiento de reemplazo renal. La calidad se evalúo con la herramienta ROBINS.

Resultados

Se incluyeron tres estudios no aleatorizados, uno de un solo grupo. Hubo menos casos de mortalidad intrahospitalaria y a 30 días en el grupo en que no se suspendió el SV, sin una diferencia estadísticamente significativa. No hubo diferencia en la duración de la estancia hospitalaria o en la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos, intubación orotraqueal, necesidad de reemplazo renal, ni en la frecuencia de vasoplejía posoperatoria (OR = 0,77; IC 95%, 0,23-2,98).

Conclusiones

La evidencia actual es escasa y de baja calidad, por lo que no se puede generar una recomendación respecto al uso del SV previo a cirugía cardiaca, se requiere realización de estudios adicionales.
