introduction although a few patients will survive after penetrating cardiac injuries, some of them may have unnoticeable intracardiac injuries. the combination of aorto-right ventricular fistula with aortic valve injury is rare. case presentation a 19 year-old man referred with an aorto-right ventricular fistula accompanied with aortic regurgitation and delayed tamponade following a stab in the...

Cardiac laceration from blunt thoracic trauma is not a common presentation. The rate of mortality due to this injury is very high since it is not diagnosed and treated immediately. In this study, we present the case of a 65-year-old man with blunt cardiac trauma, causing right atrial rupture and pericardial tamponade. Successful management of this patient was firstly done with initial pericardi...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none x-none background:abnormalities of the sinus of valsalva are usually congenital and quite rare among other heart deficiencies. they are frequently presented with aneurysm formation and the symptoms raised because of their existence vary. when rupture of an aneurysm occurs –more often in the right chambers of the heart -severe complications as cardiogenic ...

This study aimed to investigate the incidence, predictors, and clinical outcomes of cardiac tamponade after heart valve surgery. A total of 556 patients who underwent heart valve surgery in a single tertiary center between January 2010 and March 2012 were studied. All patients underwent transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) about 5 days after surgery and TTE was repeated regularly. Patients with...

Acute cardiac tamponade requires urgent diagnosis and treatment. Spontaneous hemopericardium leading to cardiac tamponade as an initial manifestation of essential thrombocythemia (ET) has never been reported in the literature. We report a case of a 72-year-old Caucasian female who presented with spontaneous hemopericardium and tamponade requiring emergent pericardiocentesis. The patient was sub...

Coronary artery perforation (CAP) after percutaneous coronary intervention is a rare, but serious complication. It can cause cardiac tamponade, acute myocardial infarction or death. The treatments of CAP involve prolonged balloon inflation, emergent surgery, coil embolization, and implantation of covered stent. We have successfully performed the emergent microcoil embolization in a patient with...

Pendahuluan: Tamponade jantung akut adalah kondisi mengancam nyawa. Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) merupakan salah satu modalitas pencitraan yang dinilai sensitif dan spesifik untuk membantu diagnosis. Kasus: Laki–laki, usia 29 tahun, pasca-trauma tumpul dada disertai peningkatan tekanan vena jugular, suara menjauh tanpa hipotensi. Pada pemeriksaan POCUS didapatkan tanda sonografi tamponade. ...

Acute pericardial diseases include acute pericarditis and cardiac tamponade. Both conditions can be associated with acute hemodynamic instability or cardiac failure and require immediate diagnostic workup and treatment. The pericardium surrounds the heart with two layers. The outer fi brous layer is called the parietal pericardium; the inner layer, which covers the cardiac surface, is the serou...

The effect of Ammine and Wyamine on the depressed circulntion in acute cardiac tamponade was studied in six dogs. As u result of tamponade, there was marked depression of the apparent right and left ventricular function curves which were then significantly re-elevated by the administration of these drugs. Evidence of coronary insufficiency was demonstrated in very severe tumponudo where there w...

Acute heart failure was produced by cardiac tamponade in unsplenectomized and splencctomized dogs. The results indicate that splenic contraction was entirely responsible for the rise in hematocrit observed following tamponade in the unsplenectomized dogs. A fall in the hematocrit values of the splencctomized dogs and a reduction in total plasma proteins of both groups indicates an increase in p...
