Cardiac tamponade following post-pericardiotomy syndrome
Subxyphoid pericardial window (SPW) is performed as both a diagnostic and therapeutic intervention in patients presenting with a penetrating cardiac injury (PCI). Post-pericardiotomy syndrome (PPS) with cardiac tamponade has been reported after penetrating cardiac trauma¹ and after transdiaphragmatic pericardial window.² We describe the first PPS with acute tamponade, weeks after diagnostic SPW for a PCI.
