A Congenital Defect of the Pericardium

The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon, 1999
Ten patients with congenital defects of the pericardium were treated in Departments of Cardiac Surgery, Silesian School of Medicine in Zabrze and Katowice between 1989 and 1998. There were eight children and two adults, eight males and two females. In each case the pericardial defect was discovered intraoperatively during surgery for congenital heart ...

The Heart and Pericardium

Thoracic Surgery Clinics, 2011
This article describes the normal anatomy of the heart and pericardium. Included is a detailed description of the pericardium, mediastinal nerves, cardiac chambers, valves, coronary arteries and veins, and the conduction tissues. As cardiac and thoracic surgery continue to get more specialized and the procedures become less invasive, it is essential ...

Diseases of the pericardium

1999
The study of pericardial diseases is generally carried out by means of echocardiography, which is still the technique of choice in detecting effusion and diagnosing temponade. Widely available, easy to operate, and inexpensive, ultrasound are every useful in these situations.

The normal pericardium

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1970
Abstract Under normal conditions the pericardium, with its fluid, lubricates the moving surfaces of the heart, holds the heart in a fixed geometric position and isolates the heart from other structures in the thorax, thus preventing adhesions and spread of infection.

Traumatic rupture of the pericardium

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1971
Abstract Isolated pericardial rupture due to nonpenetrating chest injury was diagnosed in a 21 year old man with multiple traffic injuries. Radiologic examination showed displacement of the heart to the left and therefore gave rise to a suspicion of pericardial rupture.

Porcine Dermis and Pericardium-Based, Non-Cross-Linked Materials Induce Multinucleated Giant Cells After Their In Vivo Implantation: A Physiological Reaction?

Journal of Oral Implantology, 2015
The present study analyzed the tissue reaction to 2 novel porcine-derived collagen materials: pericardium versus dermis. By means of the subcutaneous implantation model in mice, the tissue reactions were investigated at 5 time points: 3, 10, 15, 30, and ...

Metastases of the heart and pericardium.

Giornale italiano di cardiologia, 1997
Tumours metastasizing to the heart are one of the least investigated subjects in clinical oncology. Nevertheless, this problem holds great practical significance in relation to the operability and type of treatment of neoplastic patients. Of 4769 patients autopsied at the Institute of Pathological Anatomy of Trieste from 1994 through 1995, 1148 males ...
