Subxiphoid echocardiography

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, 1973
AbstractA technique is described for doing the echocardiographic examination with the transducer in the subxiphoid region instead of along the left sternal border (routine examination). This examination has proved to be extremely useful in patients in whom the routine examination was difficult.

Subxiphoid Single-Port Robotic Thymectomy Using the Single-Port Robotic System Versus VATS: A Multi-Institutional, Retrospective, and Propensity Score-Matched Study

Cancers
Subxiphoid thymectomy is a novel alternative to the transthoracic approach and sternotomy, with potential benefits, such as reduced postoperative pain and faster recovery.

A method to facilitate subxiphoid pericardiotomy

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1994
Pericardial effusion can be treated effectively by the technique of subxiphoid pericardial window. We present a case in which the Cooper retractor designed for transcervical thymectomy facilitated this operation. When available, the Cooper retractor can be useful in selected patients.

Subxiphoid Anterior Mediastinal Exploration

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1977
A new surgical technique for anterior mediastinal exploration is described. The technique involves application of a Carlens mediastinoscope by means of a subxiphoid incision. The procedure provides complete exploration of the anterior mediastinal compartment and allows the surgeon to obtain a positive biopsy of the tumor or its lymph node metastases ...

Video-Assisted Subxiphoid Pericardiectomy

Journal of Laparoendoscopic Surgery, 1995
We 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 ...

Clinical Experience With Subxiphoid Pericardiostomy in the Management of Pericardial Effusions: A Study of 240 Cases

Journal of International Medical Research, 2003
We aimed to assess the effectiveness of subxiphoid pericardiostomy for treating patients with pericardial effusions (PE), and its contribution to defining the aetiology of these effusions.

The Subxiphoid Approach to Pericardial Disease

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1982
During the 36-month period from July, 1978, through July, 1981, 25 patients underwent a subxiphoid pericardial window procedure for diagnosis and therapy. Twelve patients were operated on for uremic pericarditis, 6 for malignancy, and 7 for etiological diagnosis of the pericarditis.

Subxiphoid Mediastinoscopic Autonomous Double Fenestration

The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon, 2022
AbstractThe coexistence of pleural and pericardial effusions in frail patients with or without confirmed neoplasia necessitates the use of a minimally invasive technique that has a minor impact on the patient's general status and allows for fast fluid evacuation and biopsy sampling if necessary.

The Subxiphoid Approach in the Treatment of Pericardial Effusion

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1977
Subxiphoid pericardiotomy for diagnosis and treatment of pericardial effusion is a safe procedure. Not only does it appear to be safer than aspiration, but it yields more information because of its ability to obtain pericardial tissue. The recurrence rate of pericardial effusion is lower using subxiphoid pericardiotomy.

Subxiphoid Pericardiotomy-Reply

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1982
In Reply.— The experience of Breyer and associates supports our impression that subxiphoid pericardiotomy is a procedure of choice for the treatment of acute cardiac tamponade. It is of particular note that these authors report one patient with a small right ventricular laceration from an attempted, but unsuccessful, pericardiocentesis.
