Chylopericardium as a complication of cardiac surgery: Report of two cases and review of the literature [PDF]

Srpski Arhiv za Celokupno Lekarstvo, 2007
Chylopericardium refers to existing communication between the pericardial sac and the thoracic duct carrying the chyle. The objective of our report was to highlight the specificity of diagnosis and treatment of this rare but tedious condition through the

Phenotype characterization of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction in medical device and surgical trials

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 6, Page 3878-3898, December 2025.
This systematic review identified 24 clinical trials of medical device and surgical interventions for HFpEF, with 16 demonstrating at least safety and feasibility, but little evidence of long‐term benefit. Phenotype‐based responses suggest that certain interventions may benefit specific HFpEF subgroups, yet most trials suffered from heterogeneous ...

Rapid Corticosteroid Withdrawal After Cardiac Transplantation Improves Outcomes

Clinical Transplantation, Volume 39, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Modern immunosuppressive regimens have been associated with lower rejection rates after heart transplantation (HTx), yet long‐term outcomes have remained limited by drug‐related complications. Since 2010, our program has implemented a protocolized corticosteroid withdrawal (CSW) strategy following induction with rabbit anti ...

Cardiac decompression by pericardiectomy for constrictive pericarditis : multimodality imaging to identify patients at risk for prolonged inotropic support [PDF]

, 2021
BACKGROUND: Post-pericardiectomy right ventricular (RV) failure has been reported but it remains not well-studied. To investigate imaging parameters that could predict RV function and the outcome of patients post-pericardiectomy.

Recent advances in multimodality imaging‐guided therapy in pericarditis

European Journal of Clinical Investigation, Volume 55, Issue 9, September 2025.
Multiple imaging targets have been identified as essential biomarkers to confirm pericardial thickening, edema, neovascularization, inflammation, fibrosis/calcification, cardiac tamponade physiology, and constriction. This novel approach is called imaging‐guided therapy, which guides anti‐inflammatory therapy, assesses treatment response, assists in ...

Features and Prognosis of Patients With Retroperitoneal Fibrosis Developing Fibrosing Mediastinitis: Case‐Control Study and Systematic Review

ACR Open Rheumatology, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2025.
Objective Retroperitoneal fibrosis (RPF) complicated by mediastinal fibrosis (MF) is rare but fatal. We aimed to explore the features and indicators of poor prognosis for the population of those affected. Methods Patients with idiopathic RPF were recruited in Peking University International Hospital.

Impact of Breathing and Anatomical Constraints on Subxiphoid Epicardial Puncture: Insights From a Japanese Cohort

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 41, Issue 4, August 2025.
This study reveals that respiratory phase and anthropometric parameters significantly impact the xiphoid‐to‐pericardium distance, with expiration increasing the depth. These findings support the use of preprocedural ultrasound to optimize subxiphoid epicardial access, enhance safety, and inform needle selection based on individual anatomical ...

Steerable Delivery Sheath for Optimized LAA Closure: First Experience and Procedural Outcomes

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, Volume 106, Issue 1, Page 73-79, July 1, 2025.
ABSTRACT Background The new Amplatzer Steerable Delivery Sheath is a delivery system designed to improve ease‐of‐use and procedural results of left atrial appendage closure (LAAC). We aimed to compare procedural results after switching our LAAC program at a tertiary care center with the Amulet device to the Steerable Delivery Sheath, with a control ...
