  • Title: Cardiac herniation after pneumonectomy.
    Author: Baaijens PF, Hasenbos MA, Lacquet LK, Dekhuijzen PN.
    Journal: Acta Anaesthesiol Scand; 1992 Nov; 36(8):842-5. PubMed ID: 1466225.
    Abstract:
    Cardiac herniation is a rare, lethal complication of intrapericardial pneumonectomy demanding urgent treatment. It usually occurs within the first 24 h postoperatively. We present a patient with late cardiac herniation, 28 h postoperatively, where the electrocardiographic changes were evident several hours before the clinical picture became clear. After the diagnosis was made, the patient was treated surgically and survived.
