Cardiac Herniation with Torsion after Right Pneumonectomy
For preoperative screening, a positron emission tomography/ computed tomography was performed. Subsequently, she was suspected to be rather in stage N2. Consequently, she underwent transpericardial pneumonectomy. After an uneventful surgery, the patient was transferred to the intensive care unit for postoperative monitoring. She was hemodynamically stable and had already been extubated in the o...
متن کاملCardiac herniation following intrapericardial pneumonectomy.
Cardiac herniation is a rare, highly lethal complication of intrapericardial pneumonectomy, demanding urgent treatment. The condition presents in the immediate or early postoperative period. Cardiovascular collapse is invariably present. Elevation of the jugular venous pressure and cyanosis in the drainage area of the superior vena cava are frequently noted. Diagnosis rests on an awareness of t...
متن کاملAcute Tension Pneumothorax Following Cardiac Herniation after Pneumonectomy
A tension pneumothorax is one of the main causes of cardiac arrest in the initial postoperative period after thoracic surgery. Tension pneumothorax and cardiac herniation must be taken into account in hemodynamically unstable patients after pneumonectomy. We report an unusual case of successful treatment of acute tension pneumothorax following cardiac herniation and intrathoracic bleeding after...
متن کاملCardiac herniation following pneumonectomy--an old complication revisited.
Cardiac herniation is a recognised complication of pneumonectomy when a pericardial defect has been made during resection. This complication is very rare and, with the increasing preference for more limited resections, is even less frequently encountered now than it was several decades ago. Uncorrected cardiac herniation is usually lethal, with a high incidence of morbidity and mortality even a...
متن کاملHerniation of the heart after intrapericardial pneumonectomy for bronchial carcinoma.
Since the pioneer work of Graham and Singer (1933), Rienhoff (1933), and Crafoord (1938), great improvements have been made in the surgical technique for resection of bronchial carcinoma. Of major importance was the introduction by Allison (1946) of intrapericardial ligation of the pulmonary vessels. Besides inherent advantages due to the intrapericardial disposition of these vessels and conseq...
