Objective: Postoperative intrapericardial adhesion increases the risk of complications in patients undergoing reoperation. We investigated the effect of a bioabsorbable dextrin hydrogel (DHG) on the formation of intrapericardial adhesions.
Methods: Intrapericardial adhesion was surgically induced in Japanese white rabbits with DHG treatment (Adh + DHG) or without DHG treatment (Adh). The sham group was not treated with DHG and intrapericardial adhesion was not induced. The extent of intrapericardial adhesion was assessed by adhesion scoring and crystal violet staining of the pericardial cavity. Bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) uptake assay was performed to assess the proliferative response to the injury in the tissue beneath the intrapericardial adhesion.
Results: The Adh + DHG group showed looser intrapericardial adhesions compared to the Adh group. The adhesion area of the Adh + DHG group was 4.6 ± 2.2%, whereas that of the Adh group was 32.6 ± 6.4% at the end of the 28-day observation period (p < 0.01). The induction of intrapericardial adhesion resulted in a proliferative response mainly in the cardiac tissue just beneath the adhesion. There were 48.6 ± 10.7 cells/0.1 mm BrdU-positive cells in the Adh + DHG group and 135.7 ± 23.8 cells/0.1 mm BrdU-positive cells in the Adh group on day 28 (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: These findings indicate that DHG effectively prevented intrapericardial adhesion in this model.

Purpose: Various polymers have been used as postsurgical antiadhesive materials; however, the mechanisms underlying their efficacy remain unclear. Intermediate water has been found to prevent the adhesion between polymer molecules and proteins or cells. The present study investigated the role of intermediate water retained in the polymer in alleviating postsurgical pericardial adhesion.

Chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity with subsequent heart failure (HF) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in cancer survivors worldwide. Chemotherapy-induced HF is exceptionally challenging as it generally manifests in patients who are typically not eligible for left ventricular device implantation or heart transplantation. To explore alternative treatment strategies for cancer survivors suffering from chemotherapy-induced HF, we developed a minimally invasive infusible cardiac stromal cell secretomes adhesive (MISA) that could be delivered locally through an endoscope-guided intrapericardial injection.

Objectives: Cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass contributes to a robust systemic inflammatory process. Local intrapericardial postsurgical inflammation is believed to trigger important clinical implications, such as postoperative atrial fibrillation and postsurgical intrathoracic adhesions. Immune mediators in the pericardial space may underlie such complications.

Article Synopsis
- * While these procedures offer new options for patients who can't use traditional methods, they still carry significant risks like myocardial perforation and damage to surrounding organs.
- * The paper evaluates 10 epicardial access techniques, discussing their success rates, safety, costs, and future techniques that are still in preclinical testing.

Background: An intrapericardial bronchogenic cyst (IBC) is rare and compresses the surrounding organs, causing symptoms. Resection of an IBC leads to an improvement in symptoms. We completely resected an IBC by performing median sternotomy and the symptom improved, and we described the clinical course.
