Postoperative pericardial effusion and posterior pericardiotomy, related or not?
INTRODUCTION Large pericardial effusions after cardiac surgery develop in 30% of patients and reach their maximum size on approximately day 10 postoperatively. Tamponade develops in approximately 1% of patients with large pericardial effusions. Effusion may be prevented by posterior pericardiotomy, but its role and possible adverse consequences are controversial. We sought to further investigat...
متن کاملPericardiocentesis versus pericardiotomy for malignant pericardial effusion: a retrospective comparison.
BACKGROUND Treatment of malignant pericardial effusion remains controversial, because no randomized controlled trials have been conducted to determine the best approach, and results of retrospective studies have been inconsistent. The objective of the present study was to compare pericardiocentesis and pericardiotomy with respect to efficacy for preventing recurrence, and to determine, for thos...
متن کاملThe effects of posterior pericardiotomy on pericardial effusion, tamponade, and atrial fibrillation after coronary artery surgery
INTRODUCTION Pericardial effusion and atrial fibrillation occur commonly after coronary artery surgery. AIM OF THE STUDY A prospective randomized clinical trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of posterior pericardiotomy on the occurrence of pericardial effusion, tamponade, and atrial fibrillation. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study group consisted of 96 patients (77 male and 19 female) a...
متن کاملThe effect of posterior pericardiotomy on pericardial effusion and atrial fibrillation after off-pump coronary artery bypass graft.
The most common type of arrhythmia following coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) is atrial fibrillation (AF) with an incidence rate of 20-30%. Pericardial effusion is one of the etiologic factors of atrial fibrillation occurring after CABG. Posterior pericardiotomy (PP) causes the drainage of blood and fluids from the pericardial space into the pleural space leading to a decreased pericardial e...
متن کامل[Percutaneous balloon pericardiotomy in patients with recurrent pericardial effusion].
BACKGROUND Recurrent symptomatic pericardial effusion can complicate different cardiac and extracardiac diseases. When recurrent pericardial effusion after drainage with conventional catheter techniques occurred the creation of a pericardial window by open surgery used to be the unique treatment available until the recent development of percutaneous balloon pericardiotomy. OBJECTIVE The aim o...
