Because of the close proximity of the phrenic nerve to the pericardium, phrenic nerve damage caused by epicardial ablation can easily occur. We report two cases of epicardial VT ablation where pericardial injection of saline, combined with the use of a ...

A formal theory for spatial representation and reasoning in biomedical ontologies [PDF]
Objective: The objective of this paper is to demonstrate how a formal spatial theory can be used as an important tool for disambiguating the spatial information embodied in biomedical ontologies and for enhancing their automatic reasoning capabilities ...

Case Report: The phantom gap: a case of congenital pericardial absence revealed by advanced imaging
Congenital absence of the pericardium (CAP) is a rare cardiac anomaly with an estimated prevalence of <1:10,000. CAP results from premature atrophy of the left common cardinal vein during embryogenesis, leading to pericardial defects.

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the pericardium in an 11‐month‐old infant: A case report
Primary cardiac tumors are very rare in infants. Here we present an 11‐month‐old infant with a pericardial inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor who presented with symptoms of respiratory distress and cardiac tamponade. The tumor was surgically removed, and

Relationship between fibre orientation and tensile strength of natural collagen membranes for heart valve leaflets [PDF]
Heart valve prostheses are used to replace native heart valves which that are damaged because of congenital diseases or due to ageing. Biological prostheses made of bovine pericardium are similar to native valves and do not require any anticoagulation ...
