Subxiphoid approach to the pericardium

Scandinavian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1988
Pericardiotomy was performed via the subxiphoid route in 19 patients, 7 with benign and 12 with malignant disorders. Partial pericardial resection ('fenestration') was undertaken in nine of the patients with malignant disease, and pericardial tube drainage or insertion of pacemaker electrode in the other ten patients.

Pericardial drainage: subxiphoid vs. transthoracic approach

European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 1991
The optimal management of effusive pericardial disease remains controversial. Subxiphoid drainage has been criticized for a high recurrence rate while transthoracic procedures (window or pericardiectomy) are more invasive operations with greater potential for morbidity.

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.

Dual-port thymectomy using subxiphoid approach

General Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2013
We have previously reported single-port thymectomy (SPT) through an infrasternal approach, a procedure in which the thymus is removed through a single port. The dual-port thymectomy procedure developed by adding another port to the single-port procedure has eliminated the risk of interference between forceps operated by both hands of the surgeon and ...

Minimally invasive mitral valve surgery: the subxiphoid approach

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1999
This report describes mitral valve replacement using a unique subxiphoid approach with a lower ministernotomy and a skin crease incision and compares the operative and echocardiographic results to patients undergoing mitral valve replacements using previously described strategies.Fifty-four patients underwent mitral valve replacement using a subxiphoid

Implantation of the Automatic Defibrillator: The Subxiphoid Approach

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1982
The automatic implantable defibrillator is an electronic device capable of diagnosing and correcting malignant venticular arrhythmias. While major thoracic surgery was required in the original 24 implants, a new technique for implanting the device has been developed.

Subxiphoid Approach for Treatment of Pericardial Effusion

Asian Cardiovascular and Thoracic Annals, 1999
Subxiphoid pericardiotomy was the primary treatment in 305 patients with pericardial effusion from January 1984 to June 1996. There were 198 males and 107 females, ages ranged from 15 days to 75 years. The procedure was carried out with local anesthesia and sedation in 263 (86.2%) patients and under general anesthesia in 42 (13.8%).

A Novel Subxiphoid Approach for Bilateral Internal Thoracic Artery Harvesting

Innovations: Technology and Techniques in Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery, 2021
Objective Bilateral internal thoracic artery (BITA) bypass can enable more complete arterial revascularization procedures. Minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) can offer significant patient benefits. New minimally invasive technology for sternal retraction and tissue manipulation is needed to enable ergonomic and reliable minimally invasive ITA ...

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.

Comparison of Subxiphoid and Traditional Approaches for ICD Implantation

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, 1992
We compared clinical and electrophysiological data in 18 patients undergoing ICD implantation via a traditional (median sternotomy or left lateral thoracotomy) with 29 patients with a subxiphoid approach. Both groups were similar in terms of age, sex, left ventricular ejection fraction, presence of coronary artery disease, and clinical indication for ...
