Pneumopericardium after Minimally Invasive Atrial Septal Defect Closure
نویسندگان
چکیده
Minimally invasive atrial septal defect (ASD) closure is a commonly performed cardiac surgical procedure and has good outcome. We report an interesting chest X-ray showing pneumopericardium in a patient who underwent ASD closure using a minimally invasive approach.

Lung herniation after minimally invasive atrial-septal-defect closure.
A 50-year old patient presented with chronic tussive irritation and chest pain after minimally invasive atrial septal defect (ASD) repair. In the computed tomography (CT) scan, the lung was found to have herniated (Fig. 1a and b). The defect in the chest wall was repaired surgically (Fig. 2). Lung herniation is a rare complication observed more frequently with the advent of minimally invasive c...
متن کاملEchocardiographic Evaluation of Changes in Cardiac Hemodynamics and Loading Conditions after Transthoracic Minimally Invasive Device Closure of Atrial Septal Defect
PURPOSE To evaluate transthoracic minimally invasive device closure of atrial septal defects by performing transthoracic echocardiography to measure changes in cardiac hemodynamics and loading conditions. METHODS Between January 2012 and December 2012, we performed transthoracic minimally invasive device closure of atrial septal defects in 95 patients with secundum atrial septal defects (ASD)...
متن کاملTension pneumopericardium after cardiac surgery: a rare but lethal problem.
A 13-month-old girl who had no medical history uneventfully underwent patch closure of an atrial septal defect under mild hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass. An immediately postoperative chest radiograph did not show any unusual findings (the Figure, A), and the process of weaning her from the ventilator was started. Just before extubation (6 hours after transfer to the intensive care unit), a ...
متن کاملTransesophageal echocardiography-guided minimally invasive surgical device closure of an unusually shaped residual ventricular septal defect in a child.
Closure of residual ventricular septal defect with an occluder is traditionally performed by a percutaneous transcatheter approach under radiographic guidance. However, this procedure may be of limited use in cases with unusually shaped defects and in patients with low body weight. Here, we report minimally invasive surgical device closure of a 6 mm residual ventricular septal defect under tran...
متن کاملBenefit of minimally invasive treatment of concomitant multiple aortic aneurysms, atrial septal defect and colon cancer.
Minimally invasive treatment of cardiovascular disease might decrease the risk of morbidity and mortality for high-risk patients. We describe a patient with concomitant large thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysms, atrial septal defect (ASD) with heart failure and colon cancer with bleeding. We applied minimally invasive, transcatheter closure of the ASD and a hybrid approach to treat two aort...
