Anesthesia management for pericardiectomy- a case series study [PDF]
Background Constrictive pericarditis (CP) is an uncommon disease that limits both cardiac relaxation and contraction. Patients often present with right-sided heart failure as the pericardium thickens and impedes cardiac filling.

Harmonic Scalpel for Pericardiectomy: Novel Approach to an Old Cardiac Dilemma
Pericardiectomy for constrictive or calcific pericarditis is a technical challenge because of dense adhesions to the epicardial surface of the heart. The procedure is fraught with the possibility of urgent cardiopulmonary bypass from excessive bleeding ...

Partial Agenesis of the Pericardium: A Rare Cause of Palpitations in a Young Adult
ABSTRACT Partial agenesis of the pericardium is a rare congenital anomaly in which part of the fibroelastic pericardial membrane is absent. Many patients remain asymptomatic, while others present with nonspecific symptoms such as palpitations, chest pain, or dyspnea. The rarity and variable presentation often delay diagnosis. We report a case of a male

A young adult patient who needed extracorporeal membrane oxygenation after pericardiocentesis due to post-pericardiotomy syndrome [PDF]
We report a 27-year-old woman who presented with orthopnea, which occurred after undergoing an open-heart surgery, atrial septal defect closure with mitral valve cleft repair.

EuroSCORE II: Current limitations and physiological gaps in risk stratification
Abstract Risk stratification remains critical in cardiac surgery, enabling clinicians to predict adverse outcomes and guide perioperative management. The European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation (EuroSCORE) II, introduced in 2011, incorporates 18 key variables to provide an evidence‐based approach to risk assessment.

A 47‐year‐old healthy man developed disseminated coccidioidomycosis involving his mediastinal and cervical lymph nodes that was complicated by pericardial involvement despite continued fluconazole for primary pulmonary infection. Although he subsequently received an aggressive antifungal regimen with voriconazole and liposomal amphotericin B, he did ...

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for right ventricular failure following pericardiectomy
We report the case of a 61-year-old gentleman who underwent pericardiectomy for constrictive pericarditis. Constrictive pericarditis was diagnosed through echocardiogram, computed tomography chest and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.
