Robot-Assisted Pericardial Drainage

چکیده
Pericardial effusions compress the heart, and lead to decrease in cardiac output with haemodynamic collapse. The treatment of PE remains experimental (i.e. not standardized, based on the clinician’s experience) due to lack of large randomized studies. Available treatments differ from observation with/ without anti-inflammatory chemotherapy to pericardiocentesis with/without percutaneus catheter drainage, percutaneous balloon pericardiotomy and eventually to surgical interventions. Commonly two surgical techniques are being used: Transthoracic or subxiphoid surgical approach for creating pericardial window and the video-thoracoscopic pericardial window [1-4].

Video thoracoscopic management of benign and malignant pericardial effusions.
Surgical management of symptomatic benign and malignant effusive pericarditis is often required. Twenty-two patients with medically recalcitrant effusive, nonconstrictive pericarditis underwent pericardial resection by a video-assisted thoracoscopic surgical (VATS) technique (9 malignant, 13 benign). Pericardiectomy, resulting in complete drainage of the pericardial space and control of patient...
متن کاملVideo-assisted thoracoscopic pericardiectomy for malignant pericardial effusion.
BACKGROUND A malignant thoracic tumour often causes malignant pericardial effusion with cardiac tamponade. However, no standard treatment has yet been established. The purpose of this study was to clarify the utility of performing video-assisted thoracoscopic (VATS) pericardiectomy in patients presenting malignant pericardial effusion. PATIENTS AND METHODS VATS pericardiectomy was performed f...
متن کاملPurulent Pericardial Effusions with Pericardial Tamponade – Diagnosis and Treatment Issues
Purulent pericarditis is rarely encountered in the antibiotherapy era, mainly in immunosupressed patients, after cardiac operations, in septicemia. Diagnosis of purulent pericarditis is based upon the analysis of pericardial drainage, obtained through pericardiocentesis or preferably, through a surgical approach. The reported case has following peculiarities: clinical signs of false acute surgi...

متن کاملProlonged pericardial drainage using a soft drain reduces pericardial effusion and need for additional pericardial drainage following orthotopic heart transplantation.
OBJECTIVES Pericardial effusion can cause haemodynamic compromise after heart transplantation. We identified the effects of soft drains on the development of pericardial effusion. METHODS We enrolled 250 patients ≥17 years of age who underwent heart transplantation between July 1999 and April 2012 and received two conventional tubes (n = 96; 32 French), or two tubes with a soft drain (n = 154...
