  • Title: Cardiac tamponade with superior venacaval obstruction. A case report.
    Author: Comyn DJ.
    Journal: S Afr Med J; 1978 Oct 28; 54(18):750-2. PubMed ID: 741299.
    Abstract:
    A case of a pericardial tamponade with progressive superior venacaval obstruction indicating the presence of a neoplasm is presented. The patient developed an acute life-threatening pericardial tamponade for which she underwent thoracotomy. When the tamponade was released, she developed sudden acute superior venacaval obstruction which necessitated the insertion of a Dacron graft between the right innominate vein and the right atrium. The anaesthetic management and the physiology of the haemodynamics are discussed.
