A lethal tension pneumothorax during minimally invasive coronary artery bypass surgery: Can transesophageal echocardiography pick it?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Minimally invasive cardiac surgery is establishing itself as the standard of care across the world. MICS CABG is currently performed in only a few centers. Hemodynamics disturbances are peculiar during MICS CABG due to space constraints. We report a 70-year-old man who underwent MICS CABG who developed tension pneumothorax during revascularization that was diagnosed in a novel way.

Transient ischemia does not limit subsequent ischemic regional dysfunction in humans: a transesophageal echocardiographic study during minimally invasive coronary artery bypass surgery.
OBJECTIVES This study sought to assess the effects of sequential coronary artery occlusion during minimally invasive coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) on hemodynamic variables and left ventricular systolic function by means of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). BACKGROUND Clinical and experimental studies suggest a protective effect of ischemic preconditioning in patients with ...

Tension pneumothorax is a life threatening condition that occurs when the intrapleural pressure exceeds atmospheric pressure. It requires prompt diagnosis and immediate treatment. Tension pneumothorax developing postoperatively after cardiac surgery is not uncommon but occurrence in the operating room during cardiac surgery is rare. We report a case of tension pneumothorax intraoperatively duri...

متن کاملDistal oesophageal stricture after transoesophageal echocardiography in a cardiac surgical patient.
Transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is an important tool for diagnosis and monitoring during anaesthesia in cardiac operation. TEE is generally considered a safe and minimally invasive technique. However, adverse events may occur during probe insertion or manipulation. We report a case of delayed distal oesophageal stricture with an associated scarring probably due to TEE during a cardiac o...
