AIMS: To determine the incidence, clinical features, management, and outcomes of pacemaker (PM) and implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) lead cardiac perforation. Cardiac perforations due to PM and ICD leads are rare but serious complications. Clinical features vary widely and may cause diagnostic delay. Management strategies are non-guideline based due to paucity of data. METHODS AND RESULTS: A multicentre retrospective series including 3 UK cardiac tertiary centres from 2016 to 2020...

Myopericarditis is a rare complication of influenza infection. The presentation may range from mild and frequently unrecognized, to fulminant and potentially complicated by cardiogenic and/or obstructive shock (tamponade), which is associated with high mortality. We performed a review of literature on all influenza pericarditis and myopericarditis cases according to PRISMA guidelines using the PubMed search engine of the Medline database. Seventy-five cases of influenza myopericarditis and isolated pericarditis were identified from 1951 to 2021...

Percutaneous transluminal septal myocardial ablation (PTSMA) is a well-established interventional therapy for drug-refractory hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) as an alternative to surgical myectomy. Although guidelines recommend that PTSMA should be performed in institutions with extensive experience, it is not centralized to such high-volume centers in real-world clinical practice. Thus, this study aimed to assess the feasibility of PTSMA in non-high-volume centers. We retrospectively examined patients with HOCM who underwent PTSMA between August 2012 and May 2020 at four institutions that experienced fewer than 20 cases of PTSMA procedures...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Thyroid disorders, especially hypothyroidism, are known to be associated with pericardial diseases. The aim of this paper is to review the current knowledge of the pericardial manifestations of hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. RECENT FINDINGS: Many reports have described associations between dysthyroidism, which encompasses hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism, and several pericardial diseases, including acute pericarditis, constrictive pericarditis, pericardial effusion, and tamponade...

Cardiac tamponade is a cardiac emergency that requires urgent intervention. Cardiac tamponade due to penetrating cardiac injury requires urgent thoracotomy. As per the guidelines, pericardiocentesis can be done as a bridge to thoracotomy. However, no clear guidelines exist on the management of cardiac tamponade due to blunt cardiac injury. In the following case report, we propose a management plan for blunt cardiac injury in the emergency department. In the following case report, we describe a patient with a road traffic accident who had a blunt cardiac injury and had cardiac tamponade for whom we did not do emergency pericardiocentesis...

INTRODUCTION: The professional society guidelines recommend that transvenous lead extraction (TLE) operating teams collaborate closely with cardiac surgeons in the management of life-threatening complications. METHODS: We assessed the role of cardiac surgeons participating in 3462 TLE procedures at a high-volume center between 2006 and 2021. The roles for cardiac surgery in TLE can be categorized into five areas: emergency surgical interventions for the management of cardiac laceration and severe bleeding (1...

Candida pericarditis is a rare condition which has previously been described after cardiothoracic surgery and immunosuppressive states (Geisler et al., 1981; Eng et al., 1981; Kraus et al., 1988; Kaufman et al., 1988; Tang et al., 2009; Glower et al., 1990; Carrel et al., 1991; Rabinovici et al., 1997; Canver et al., 1998; Farjah et al., 2005; Gronemeyer et al., 1982 [1-11]). We describe the case of a 19-year-old male blunt trauma patient, who survived a damage control thoracotomy and laparotomy with splenectomy, who later developed a loculated Candida pericardial effusion, complicated with cardiac tamponade and multiple organ failure, and required antifungals and surgical reintervention with thoracotomy for drainage...

BACKGROUND: COVID-19 vaccines were efficacious and safe in clinical trials. We report nine events of acute pericarditis (AP) in eight patients following COVID-19 vaccination with BNT162b2 (6/9), AZD1222 (2/9) and mRNA-1273 (1/9). METHODS: All patients were referred for AP temporally linked with COVID-19 vaccination. Chest pain was the most common clinical manifestation. Alternative etiologies were excluded upon thorough diagnostic work up. AP diagnosis was established according to ESC guidelines...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: European Resuscitation Council Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation prioritize treatments like chest compression and defibrillation, known to be highly effective for cardiac arrest from cardiac origin. This review highlights the need to modify this approach in special circumstances.

Sudden cardiac death is a major cause of cardiovascular mortality in the United States with 250,000-450,000 deaths annually. Transvenous Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator (ICD) has been conventionally used for both primary and secondary prevention of ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation (VT/VF). It is also associated with a high risk of complications like hemothorax, pneumothorax, cardiac tamponade, lead failure, and increased risk for infections. Subcutaneous ICD (S-ICD) poses as a viable alternative with reduced chances of complications...

Rapid diagnosis of sudden, unexpected, and potentially fatal complications in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is essential for the initiation of prompt and life-saving management. Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) protocols are widely used in adult emergency situations to diagnose and guide treatment, but none has been specifically developed for the neonate. We propose a targeted diagnostic ultrasound protocol for the suddenly decompensating infant in the NICU for rapid screening for the most common life-threatening complications needing immediate attention...

BACKGROUND: Severe cardiac injury caused by penetrating rib or sternal fractures after blunt chest trauma is a rare clinical entity that has been described in only a few case reports over the last half-century. As a result, questions have arisen about the utility of the cardiac component in the Focused Assessment with Sonography in Trauma (cFAST) examination in evaluating blunt trauma patients. CASE REPORT: We present a series of 3 patients who sustained blunt trauma and were discovered on cFAST examination to have developed pericardial tamponade from overlying rib or sternal fractures in the emergency departments of two academic level I trauma hospitals in the United States...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Pericardial effusion is a challenging pericardial syndrome and a cause of serious concern for physicians and patients due to its potential progression to life-threatening cardiac tamponade. In this review, we summarize the contemporary evidence of the etiology; diagnostic work-up, with particular emphasis on the contribution of multimodality imaging; therapeutic options; and short- and long-term outcomes of these patients. RECENT FINDINGS: In recent years, an important piece of information has contributed to put together several missing parts of the puzzle of pericardial effusion...

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Cardiac tamponade is a recognized post-cardiac surgery complication, resulting in increased morbidity and mortality. The 2016 American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association Guidelines recommended the use of Dual Antiplatelet Therapy (DAPT) in the management of patients undergoing urgent or emergency coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The effect of DAPT on cardiac tamponade rates was investigated in comparison to aspirin monotherapy (AMT). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Prospectively collected data from a tertiary cardiac surgery center was analyzed to identify the patients who underwent urgent and emergency CABG between January 2015 and January 2018...

BACKGROUND: Chest tubes are routinely used after cardiac surgery to evacuate shed mediastinal blood. Incomplete chest drainage due to chest tube clogging can lead to retained blood after cardiac surgery. This can include cardiac tamponade, hemothorax, bloody effusions and postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF). Prior published non randomized studies have demonstrated that active tube clearance (ATC) of chest tubes can reduce retained blood complications prompting the ERAS Cardiac Society guidelines to recommend this modality...
