  • video assisted thoracoscopic surgery for primary Chylopericardium after orthotopic heart transplantation
    Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation, 2002
    Co-Authors: Sandro Gelsomino, Angelo Morelli, Lorenzo Porreca, Giorgio Morocutti, Ugolino Livi
    Abstract:

    Chylopericardium is a rare complication of cardiac surgical procedures. We describe a 41-year-old woman who underwent orthotopic heart transplantation and developed Chylopericardium early in the post-operative period. Because of unsuccessful conservative treatment (pericardiocentesis, pericardial drainage, low-fat diet with medium-chain triglycerides, and total parenteral nutrition), surgical intervention was indicated and the patient successfully underwent right-sided thoracoscopic duct ligation and partial pericardiectomy (pericardial window).

  • percutaneous treatment of idiopathic Chylopericardium
    Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology, 2009
    Co-Authors: Hans H Schild, Birgit Simon, Christiane K Kuhl, Michael Nelles, Reiner Koerfer, Dirk Skowasch, Stefanie Kuntzhehner, Michael Haude
    Abstract:

    Chylopericardium is a rare disease that may result from a variety of causes, such as cardiac surgery, trauma, obstruction of the thoracic duct near its drainage into the subclavian vein, or have no identifiable underlying cause. The present report describes a case of idiopathic Chylopericardium in which percutaneous transabdominal occlusion of the thoracic duct was performed as an alternative to surgical duct ligation. The procedure was successful, resulting in a decrease in pericardial fluid accumulation. However, it failed to cure the patient, as constrictive pericarditis developed 2 months later, requiring surgical pericardectomy. Whether this could have been avoided by early (percutaneous) pericardial fenestration is unknown.

  • Case report Isolated primary Chylopericardium
    1997
    Co-Authors: Bedrettin Yildizeli, Hasan Fevzi Batirel
    Abstract:

    Isolated primary chylopericardum is known to be a rare clinical entity. A 17-year-old girl was diagnosed as isolated primary Chylopericardium. She was unresponsive to conservative treatment with pericardial tube drainage and medium chain triglyceride diet. At 2 weeks after the conservative treatment, ligation and resection of the thoracic duct with establishment of a pericardial window through a left thoracotomy was performed. At 6 months, follow-up showed no accumulation of the pericardial fluid. This case also supports that ligation and resection of the thoracic duct with establishment of a pericardial window is the treatment of choice in isolated primary Chylopericardium. © 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
