Aim: To objectively document findings at the Silicon oil-Retinal interface, macular status and tamponade effect in Silicon Oil (SO) filled eyes using SD OCT. Methods: 104 eyes of 104 patients underwent SD OCT examination, horizontal and vertical macular scans, in silicone oil filled eyes which underwent silicone oil injection post vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Findings were ...

The purpose of this study was to determine if respiratory variation and/or absolute size of echocardiographically measured right or left ventricular internal dimension at end-diastole (RVIDd or LIVIDd) are accurate indicators of the presence or severity of cardiac tamponade. We measured RVIDd or LVIDd by echocardiography in nine closed-chest, spontaneously breathing dogs in control and during h...

Atrial distension, rather than change in intra-atrial pressure, has been suggested as a principal mediator of release of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF). During cardiac tamponade, atrial pressures rise whereas transmural pressures and atrial stretch may not be affected. The roles of atrial pressure and atrial distension were investigated in six open-chest dogs subjected to cardiac tamponade and...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to explore the incidence, causes, and outcomes of cardiac tamponade in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). BACKGROUND Use of TAVI is increasing, but the procedure is vulnerable to complications, given the cohort of patients. Cardiac tamponade is a possible complication, and there is a scarcity of data on the incidence and ou...

We studied the hemodynamic effects of surgically induced regional cardiac tamponade in anesthetized dogs. Tamponade restricted to either the right or the left ventricle was compared with tamponade of either ventricle and both atria. Intrapericardial pressures were elevated to approximately 20 mm Hg. With tamponade of the right ventricle alone, aortic pressure rose from 161 +/- 3.8 to 164 +/- 3....

PURPOSE To evaluate the intraoperative changes in the donor lenticule, recipient cornea, and the reduction of interface fluid thickness during Descemet's stripping and automated endothelial keratoplasty with EndoGlide™ (Angiotech Pharmaceuticals Inc, Vancouver, Canada) donor insertion, using intraoperative spectral-domain optical coherence tomography. METHODS Prospective observational case se...

OBJECTIVE This study was designed to determine the diagnostic value of 12-lead ECG for pericardial effusion and cardiac tamponade. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING University hospital. PATIENTS Hospitalized patients with and without pericardial effusion and cardiac tamponade. MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS In a blinded manner, we reviewed 12-lead ECGs from 136 patients with echocardiogra...

cardiac laceration from blunt thoracic trauma is not a common presentation. the rate of mortality due to this injury is very high since it is not diagnosed and treated immediately. in this study, we present the case of a 65-year-old man with blunt cardiac trauma, causing right atrial rupture and pericardial tamponade. successful management of this patient was firstly done with initial pericardi...

Tamponade treatment in epistaxis is painful and the patient needs hospitalisation. Irrigation with hot water was introduced as a treatment of epistaxis 100 years ago. This study compares the two treatments with respect to effect, recurrence, pain, and length of hospital stay. Forty-four consecutive patients with posterior epistaxis were randomized to receive treatment with either hot water (HWI...

Cardiac tamponade is an uncommon but life-threatening complication of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The purpose of the present study was to characterize the incidence, management, and clinical outcome associated with this complication. We analyzed a prospective database of 25,697 PCIs performed at William Beaumont Hospital (Royal Oak, Michigan) between October 1993 and December 2000...
