  • Title: Acute cardiac herniation following pneumonectomy.
    Author: Tschersich HU, Skorapa V, Fleming WH.
    Journal: Radiology; 1976 Sep; 120(3):546. PubMed ID: 948585.
    Abstract:
    Pneumonectomy with partial pericardiectomy may result in herniation of the heart through the pericardial defect, leading to cardiovascular collapse and death. Awareness of this grave potential complication and familarity with its clinical and roentgenographic features should permit prompt diagnosis and facilitate lifesaving repeat thoracotomy.
