Cardiac herniation following atrial septal defect closure using port access surgery.
Cardiac herniation, a rare entity, is seen most commonly after traumatic rupture of the pericardium or following pneu-monectomy with partial pericardiactomy. It is rarely seen to occur following closure of a sinus venosus atrial septal defect through the port access technique. A review of the literature in English did not reveal any such case report.
