Selective Use of Pericardial Window and Drainage as Sole Treatment for Hemopericardium from Penetrating Chest Trauma [PDF]
Background Penetrating cardiac injuries (PCIs) are highly lethal, and a sternotomy is considered mandatory for suspected PCI. Recent literature suggests pericardial window (PCW) may be sufficient for superficial cardiac injuries to drain hemopericardium

Cardiac tamponade in hypothyroidism [PDF]
Pericardial effusion in overt hypothyroidism is common (incidence 3–6%), but cardiac tamponade and pretamponade as a presentation in newly diagnosed hypothyroidism is rare. For patients diagnosed with cardiac tamponade without sinus tachycardia, hypothyroidism should be suspected.1 Evaluation of hypothyroidism is often overlooked during the initial ...
