Chronic Postpericardiotomy Syndrome and Cardiac Tamponade Lasting for Two Years after Open Heart Surgery
Postpericardiotomy syndrome (PPS) is a major cause of morbidity after cardiac surgery and may cause bypass graft closure and fatal cardiac tamponade. Treatment modalities include nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs, corticosteroids, diuresis, drainage, and pericardiectomy in severe cases. Usually the syndrome lasts weeks only, and persistence beyond six months is exceptional. We describe a 64-y...
متن کاملRole of diclofenac in the prevention of postpericardiotomy syndrome after cardiac surgery
OBJECTIVE Postpericardiotomy syndrome (PPS), which is thought to be related to autoimmune phenomena, represents a common postoperative complication in cardiac surgery. Late pericardial effusions after cardiac surgery are usually related to PPS and can progress to cardiac tamponade. Preventive measures can reduce postoperative morbidity and mortality related to PPS. In a previous study, diclofen...

متن کاملThe Postpericardiotomy syndrome and antiheart antibodies.
In a prospective, double-blind study, heart-reactive antibody in high titer was detected, using an indirect immunofluorescent technique, in the serum of patients in whom the postpericardiotomy syndrome developed after intrapericardial surgery. The syndrome occurred in 26 of 86 consecutive longterm survivors of such surgery, an incidence of 30%. Presence of antibody correlated closely with the c...
متن کاملUse of antiplatelet drugs after cardiac operations.
Unfortunately, venous bypass grafts still have a prominent role in operative coronary revascularization (coronary artery bypass graft [CABG]). Venous grafts develop pathologically occlusive disease that limits the effectiveness of CABG, and antiplatelet drugs following operation may limit this problem. The types and indications of antiplatelet drugs following CABG generate some controversy in t...
