Pericardiectomy using an ultrasonic dissector [PDF]
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1994 We report the case of a 73-year-old man on whom we performed pericardiectomy for calcified constrictive pericarditis using an ultrasonic dissector. It seems unlikely that others have not used the technique, but it does not feature in the standard operative descriptions.

Transdiaphragmatic pericardiectomy in dogs
Veterinary Record, 2017In patients with recurrent pericardial effusions, pericardiectomy is indicated. The purpose of this study was to describe a transdiaphragmatic approach for subtotal pericardiectomy in dogs and to evaluate its feasibility. In total, 20 canine cadavers weighing less than 10 kg (group S) and 20 weighing more than 20 kg (group L) were used.

Total pericardiectomy for uremic pericarditis
World Journal of Surgery, 1977AbstractBetween 1973 and 1975, 19 patients were treated for uremic pericarditis. The clinical presentation of the condition varied, with some patients having minimal symptoms (chest pain, fever) and others sustaining circulatory collapse. Pericardial friction rub, elevated central venous pressure, and paradoxical pulse were the most common physical ...

The role of pericardiectomy in pericardial disorders
European Heart Journal, 1991Pericardiectomy today is an accepted therapeutic concept in patients with different pericardial disorders. The postoperative outcome of patients is mainly influenced by two factors. First, diagnosis has to be established early to avoid myocardial deterioration and secondary organ failure, especially of liver and kidneys.

Spontaneous “Cardiomegaly” Following Pericardiectomy
Journal of Cardiac Surgery, 2009A 64-year-old woman presented eight days following pericardiectomy with a 2-day history of progressive dyspnea and new crushing chest pain. Chest x-ray revealed development of interval "cardiomegaly." Bedside echocardiography revealed a large accumulation of pericardial fluid despite absence of pericardium. Diagnostic and therapeutic mediastinocentesis

Video-Assisted Subxiphoid Pericardiectomy
Journal of Laparoendoscopic Surgery, 1995We report a case of malignant pericardial effusion with chronic tamponade treated by video-assisted subxiphoid pericardiectomy in a 58-year-old female. The procedure was performed under local anesthesia through a 3.5-cm midline incision over the xiphoid process using a mediastinoscope, a 5-mm telescope connected to the video camera, and an endoscopic ...

Radical Pericardiectomy for Pericardial Diseases
Current Cardiology Reports, 2019The surgical management of constrictive pericarditis has evolved from a partial pericardiectomy via a thoracotomy approach to a more extensive removal of the pericardium. This review summarizes the published studies regarding surgical management of pericardial disease, focusing on the surgical technique of radical pericardiectomy for constrictive ...

TREATMENT OF URÆMIC PERICARDITIS BY ANTERIOR PERICARDIECTOMY
The Lancet, 1974Abstract Mortality, morbidity, and length of hospital stay have been evaluated in 16 dialysis patients who developed pericarditis and were treated with anterior pericardiectomy followed by 24-48 hours of chest-tube drainage. There was no mortality and only minor morbidity.

TREATMENT OF ACTIVE TUBERCULOUS PERICARDITIS BY PERICARDIECTOMY
Journal of the American Medical Association, 1951Tuberculous pericarditis, chronic and insidiously progressive, frequently characterized in its early stages by an inflammatory effusion and culminating almost inevitably in great thickening and fibrous contraction of the diseased pericardium, presents real difficulties in its management.1From very inception, it poses the twofold problem of controlling ...

Addisonian Crisis following Pericardiectomy
Cardiovascular Surgery, 1994In developing countries tuberculosis is a common cause of constrictive pericarditis and its Involvement of other organs may sometimes complicate the surgical management of such patients. A case is reported of constrictive pericarditis in which the patient developed protracted hypotension which was unresponsive to inotropic therapy, following ...
