Pericardiotomy

Pericardiotomy

Pericardiotomy is a surgical procedure involving the opening or incision of the pericardium, the protective sac surrounding the heart. It is performed to relieve pressure or treat conditions affecting the heart enclosed within this membrane. Typically, this procedure is employed in cases of pericarditis, a condition characterized by inflammation of the pericardium, leading to the accumulation of fluid around the heart, causing constriction or compression of the cardiac chambers. The surgical approach involves carefully accessing the pericardium to drain excess fluid, alleviate pressure, or remove accumulated blood or inflammatory material. Pericardiotomy allows for the release of tension on the heart, thereby facilitating its proper function and preventing potential complications such as cardiac tamponade, which can be life-threatening. This procedure may be conducted as an open-heart surgery or via minimally invasive techniques, depending on the patient's condition and the specific requirements of the case. It is crucial to perform pericardiotomy with precision and care to ensure the safe and effective relief of pressure around the heart while minimizing risks associated with surgery. Post-operatively, patients are closely monitored for any signs of complications and are often prescribed medications to manage inflammation and prevent further fluid accumulation. Pericardiotomy serves as an important intervention to address pericardial disorders, aiming to restore cardiac function and alleviate symptoms to improve the patient's overall health and well-being.
