  • Pericardiocentesis Versus Pericardiotomy for Malignant Pericardial Effusion: a Retrospective Comparison
    MALIGNANT PERICARDIAL EFFUSION, Labbé et al. ORIGINAL ARTICLE Pericardiocentesis versus pericardiotomy for malignant pericardial effusion: a retrospective comparison C. Labbé MD,* L. Tremblay MD,* and Y. Lacasse MD MSc* ABSTRACT Background Treatment of malignant pericardial effusion remains controversial, because no randomized controlled trials have been conducted to determine the best approach, and results of retrospective studies have been inconsistent. The objective of the present study was to compare pericardiocentesis and pericardiotomy with respect to efficacy for preventing recurrence, and to determine, for those two procedures, diagnostic yields, complication rates, and effects on survival. We also aimed to identify clinical and procedural factors that could predict effusion recurrence. Methods We retrospectively assessed 61 patients who underwent a procedure for treatment of a malignant pericardial effusion at the Institut universitaire de cardiologie et de pneumologie de Québec between February 2004 and September 2013. Results Pericardiocentesis was performed in 42 patients, and pericardiotomy, in 19 patients. The effusion recurrence rate was significantly higher in patients treated with pericardiocentesis than with pericardiotomy (31.0% vs. 5.3%, p = 0.046). The diagnostic yield of the procedures was not significantly different (92.9% vs. 86.7%, p = 0.6). The overall rate of complications was similar in the two groups, as was the median overall survival (2.4 months vs. 2.6 months, p = 0.5). In univariate analyses, the procedure type was the only predictor of recurrence that approached statistical significance. Age, sex, type of cancer, presence of effusion at the time of cancer diagnosis, prior chest irradiation, tamponade upon presentation, and total volume of fluid removed did not influence the recurrence rate.

  • ICD-9-CM Procedures (FY10)
    2 PREFACE This sixth edition of the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) is being published by the United States Government in recognition of its responsibility to promulgate this classification throughout the United States for morbidity coding. The International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, published by the World Health Organization (WHO) is the foundation of the ICD-9-CM and continues to be the classification employed in cause-of-death coding in the United States. The ICD-9-CM is completely comparable with the ICD-9. The WHO Collaborating Center for Classification of Diseases in North America serves as liaison between the international obligations for comparable classifications and the national health data needs of the United States. The ICD-9-CM is recommended for use in all clinical settings but is required for reporting diagnoses and diseases to all U.S. Public Health Service and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (formerly the Health Care Financing Administration) programs. Guidance in the use of this classification can be found in the section "Guidance in the Use of ICD-9-CM." ICD-9-CM extensions, interpretations, modifications, addenda, or errata other than those approved by the U.S. Public Health Service and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services are not to be considered official and should not be utilized. Continuous maintenance of the ICD-9- CM is the responsibility of the Federal Government. However, because the ICD-9-CM represents the best in contemporary thinking of clinicians, nosologists, epidemiologists, and statisticians from both public and private sectors, no future modifications will be considered without extensive advice from the appropriate representatives of all major users.

Pericardio- centesis is a lifesaving procedure; nevertheless, blood may occlude the catheter and fail to relieve the pressure. However, open-chest cardiac massage in resuscitation has been studied in animal models by some medical centers and laboratories with inspiring results. We report a 58-year-old woman who was transferred from a local hospital with the diagnosis of cardiac tamponade caused by ruptured type A aortic dissection. Pulseless electrical activity followed by cardiac arrest occurred thereafter. Successful resuscitation in the emergency department was achieved using open cardiac massage through the sub-xyphoid region by opening a pericardial window.

  • Contemporary Outcomes After Pericardial Window Surgery: Impact of Operative Technique Sarah E
    Langdon et al. Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery (2016) 11:73 DOI 10.1186/s13019-016-0466-3 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Contemporary outcomes after pericardial window surgery: impact of operative technique Sarah E. Langdon, Kristen Seery and Alexander Kulik* Abstract Background: The optimal window procedure for drainage of a large pericardial effusion has yet to be established. The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes associated with the subxiphoid and thoracotomy pericardial window techniques, with a focus on perioperative pain and effusion recurrence rates. Methods: A retrospective single-center observational study of all pericardial window operations was performed, with the incision based on surgeon preference. Perioperative data was recorded including time to extubation, narcotic requirements, and the development of a recurrent pericardial effusion. Results: From 2002 to 2015, 179 patients with a large pericardial effusion underwent either a subxiphoid (n =127)orleft anterior mini-thoracotomy (n = 52) pericardial window procedure. Patients (mean age 73.2 years, 56 % female) had a high incidence of previous malignancy (49 %), chronic anticoagulation (34 %), recent infection (26 %), or renal failure (18 %). Cardiac tamponade was present in 50 %, and 12 % had undergone previous pericardiocentesis. Comparing the two techniques, there was no difference in the amount of fluid drained or in the perioperative mortality rate. Postoperatively, patients who had the subxiphoid approach required less time before extubation (P = 0.002) and needed less narcotics within 48 h after surgery (P = 0.0001) compared to thoracotomy patients. However, patients treated with the subxiphoid technique more often developed recurrent moderate or large pericardial effusions (P = 0.02), and there was a trend towards more repeat operations needed (P =0.15).

Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) is an avoidable disease of poverty that persists predominantly in low resource settings and among Indigenous and other high-risk populations in some high-income nations. Following a period of relative global policy inertia on RHD, recent years have seen a resurgence of research, policy and civil society activity to tackle RHD; this has culminated in growing momentum at the highest levels of global health diplomacy to definitively address this disease of disadvantage. RHD is inextricably entangled with the global development agenda, and effective RHD action requires concerted efforts both within and beyond the health policy sphere. This report provides an update on the contemporary global and regional policy landscapes relevant to RHD, and highlights the fundamental importance of good data to inform these policy dialogues, monitor systems responses and ensure that no one is left behind.

Franklin 22, 59100 Prato, Italy; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +39-090-6766758 Simple Summary: This canine prospective study was performed to statistically compare the surgery time and achieved windows size of two different thoracoscopic pericardiectomy techniques in dogs affected by pericardial effusion, using transdiaphragmatic paraxyphoid and monolateral intercostal approaches. The paraxifoid and the monolateral intercostal approaches showed a mean surgical time of 55 ± 20.08 (SD) minutes and 13.94 ± 4.61 (SD) minutes, and a mean pericardial window diameter of 4.23 ± 0.80 (SD) cm and 3.31 ± 0.43 (SD) cm, respectively. A significant correlation was observed between the dogs’ bodyweight and window size (r = 0.48; p = 0.04) for both surgical approaches, and between the dogs’ bodyweight and surgical time (r = 0.72; p = 0.0016) for monolateral intercostal Citation: Macrì, F.; Angileri, V.; approach. Our results provided useful information to help surgeons make the definitive choice of the Giannetto, C.; Scaletta, L.; Miele, P.; surgical technique to treat the pericardial effusion.
