[Subxiphoid pericardiostomy and pericardioscopy. Value and indications apropos of a series of 25 cases].
An experience of 25 subxiphoid pericardial windows with pericardioscopy in eleven cases is reviewed and presented. The operative indications in pericardial effusions result from hemodynamic compromise or from the need for etiologic criteria. Validated in its technical simplicity, its safety, its etiologic findings, its efficacy on immediate and delayed no recurrence of pericardial effusion, the low rate of late constrictive changes, this operative procedure is worth listing in the therapeutic know-how of a general surgeon. Indications in patients with suspected traumatic pericardial tamponade by chest wound are related.
