Post-Operative cardiac strangulation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 August 2008
Abstract
A patient is reported in whom cardiac strangulation occurred through a lateral pericardial defect surgically created for repair of congenital heart disease. To avoid this potentially fatal complication, the inferior rim of an iatrogenic lateral pericardial defect should be tacked down to preclude cardiac herniation.
