Selective Use of Pericardial Window and Drainage as Sole Treatment for Hemopericardium from Penetrating Chest Trauma [PDF]

, 2018
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

Serum BNP levels are associated with malignant pericardial effusion

International Journal of Cardiology: Heart & Vasculature, 2019
Introduction: The development of malignant pericardial effusion indicates a poor prognosis and is the leading cause of cardiac tamponade. The objectives of the study were to examine the levels of BNP in traumatic, malignant and non-malignant pericardial ...
