Delayed myocardial laceration after intrapericardial pneumonectomy

BC Papsin, LA Gorenstein and M Goldberg
Division of Thoracic Surgery, Mount Sinai Hospital, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Curative resection for large central bronchogenic tumors may require radical or intrapericardial pneumonectomy. Myocardial herniation through the pericardial defect is a rare early postoperative complication. Prevention of cardiac herniation and subsequent hemodynamic compromise is always necessary after intrapericardial pneumonectomy.
