Uremic pericarditis may complicate either acute or, more commonly, chronic renal failure. When dialysis is not employed, uremic pericarditis is usually a preterminal event and is characterized by a serofibrinous exudation of an amount inadequate to cause cardiac tamponade. Nevertheless, cardiac tamponade may uncommonly be observed in nondialyzed patients. Cardiac tamponade, which may be life-th...

Pericardial tamponade resulting in hemodynamic compromise requiring either pericardiocentesis [Vandyke 1983] or subxiphoid pericardial window has been reported in literature [Armstrong 1984]. There are no large case series, only scattered case reports. Cardiac tamponade is known to affect the diastolic function of the heart but rare reports have documented systolic impairment of the left and ri...

Background. Cardiac tamponade after cardiac surgical procedures is often associated with hemodynamically significant localized pericardial effusions. The localized collection of pericardial effusion in the postoperative period and the atypical presentation of cardiac tamponade limit the use of conventional clinical and echocardiographic signs usually seen with a circumferential pericardial effu...

PURPOSE To compare anatomic and functional outcomes of macular hole surgery with either silicone oil or C(3)F(8) gas tamponade. DESIGN Retrospective comparative interventional study. PARTICIPANTS Fifty-four eyes of 51 patients underwent pars plana vitrectomy for macular holes. Thirty-one eyes were treated with silicone oil tamponade, and 23 eyes were treated with C(3)F(8) tamponade. METHO...

Radial artery access has rare but significant vascular complications that can occur even in high volume centers. We present a case of a 60-year-old man with perforation of a high takeoff radial artery due to catheter manipulation. A combination of manual external pressure of the axillary artery combined with internal tamponade effect from a 45 cm hydrophilic sheath was used with no immediate or...

An increase in the number of endovascular procedures has let to a concomitant increase in iatrogenic arterial lesions such as catheter-induced arterial perforation or vessel rupture after PTA. The traditional way of treating these problems is by way of an open surgical approach, balloon tamponade, insertion of uncovered stents or covering the rupture site with an endograft. The present case des...

Metastatic malignancy presenting as cardiac tamponade is not uncommon; however, hematogenous spread from carcinoma is rare. There are only three previously reported cases of parotid malignancy with pericardial metastasis. We report a case of parotid adenocarcinoma leading to cardiac tamponade in a 61-year old man. The patient presented with signs and symptoms of cardiac tamponade. The diagnosis...

Cardiac tamponade is an important and potentially lethal complication of acute pericarditis. However, recurrence of cardiac tamponade is rare when it is treated appropriately. We present a 49-year-old man with bacterial pericarditis and recurrent cardiac tamponade, which was caused by the rupture of an upper part of the left atrium (LA). According to the autopsy findings, bacteremia from Staphy...

BACKGROUND Coronary artery perforation associated to cardiac tamponade is an uncommon life-threatening complication of percutaneous coronary intervention, and the occurrence of subepicardial or intramyocardial hematoma without hemopericardium is even rarer. CLINICAL CASE We describe the case of a 72 year-old woman with a subepicardial hematoma after percutaneous coronary intervention, who req...
