Iatrogenic intrapericardial diaphragmatic hernia after creation of a pericardial-peritoneal window is a very rare entity. We present the clinical case of an acute intestinal bowel obstruction due to herniation of small bowel into the pericardial sac. After laparoscopic reduction of the herniated small bowel, the diaphragmatic defect was successfully repaired using the hepatic falciform ligament.

Pericardial Hernia After Pericardial Window: A Rare Case.
Cureus
September 2024
General Surgery, Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, Manchester, GBR.
Article Synopsis
- Diaphragmatic hernias, traditionally linked to birth defects or trauma, can also occur due to surgical procedures, as shown in a rare case involving a 59-year-old woman after pericardial window surgery.
- The patient experienced shortness of breath post-surgery, and imaging revealed an intrapericardial diaphragmatic hernia, leading to an open surgery for repair.
- This case underscores the importance of recognizing and addressing rare complications like these postoperatively, highlighting the need for careful planning and intervention to prevent serious cardiac issues.

Article Synopsis
- The use of percutaneous procedures is increasing, but complications like cardiac tamponade can be severe and lead to hemodynamic instability.
- A case study describes an 89-year-old patient with myocarditis who developed iatrogenic cardiac tamponade after undergoing an endomyocardial biopsy, requiring significant medical intervention.
- Intrapericardial thrombin was successfully used to achieve hemostasis after traditional methods failed, highlighting the importance of alternative treatments in managing complications.
Fatal iatrogenic cardiac tamponade due to central venous catheterization.

Department of Public Health and Forensic Sciences, and Medical Education, Faculty of Medicine, University of Porto, 4200-319, Porto, Portugal.
Fatal adverse events caused by any health professional as consequence of malpractice are uncommon. In this work, the authors report a fatal cardiac tamponade associated with a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) by the right jugular vein that perforated the right atrium of the heart. The diagnosis of cardiac tamponade was not detected in hospital during the intrapericardial infusion of total parenteral nutrition and was only registered during the autopsy.

Department of Cardiology, Rheinlandklinikum Neuss, Neuss, Germany.
Background: Cardiac tamponade is a rare but life-threatening complication of cardiac interventions. Despite prompt pericardiocentesis, clinical management can be challenging and sometimes haemodynamic stabilisation is difficult to achieve. Intra-pericardial thrombin injection after pericardiocentesis promotes haemostasis and acts as a sealing agent, as previously described for left ventricular free-wall rupture.
