  • Title: Traumatic pericardial hematoma simulating tricuspid valve obstruction.
    Author: Wray TM, Prochaska J, Fisher RD, Shaker IJ.
    Journal: Johns Hopkins Med J; 1975 Oct; 137(4):147-50. PubMed ID: 1185909.
    Abstract:
    A large pericardial hematoma caused profound hypoxia, cyanosis, and hypotension in a patient who had sustained trauma in an automobile accident. Angiographic and cardiac catheterization findings suggested intracardiac obstruction at the level of the tricuspid valve. This case emphasizes that localized accumulations of blood or fluid within the pericardial space can simulate intracardiac masses or valve obstruction. Partial pericardiectomy was curative in this patient.
