Pericardectomy Subtotal

Pericardolysis

Subtotal pericardiolysis is a surgical procedure performed in the chest to remove polyps or tumors that develop in the pericardium, the outer tissue of the heart. The operation is performed as an additional step in other cardiac surgical procedures such as coronary artery disease, ventricular disease, cardiac tumor and bronchial cardiac surgery. Pericardiolysis is one of the most technically complex surgical procedures, requiring both experience and a high degree of skill of the surgeon. An operation that can last up to 6 hours and requires a significant recovery period after the procedure. Let's take a closer look at the pericardiolios and why it is important.

Description of pericardial surgery

Pericardium The pericardium is the outer protective covering of the heart and it consists of a connective tissue membrane that surrounds the heart. The inner walls of the pericardium hermetically envelop the heart muscle. The structures of the pericardium include the innermost layer of smooth muscle, the visceral pericardium, and the epicranium. Visceral peroxide surrounds the smooth muscle layer of the heart, and epicranism from the thoracic cavity covers the surface of the heart. Stretches of the pericardium around the heart can cause the pericardium to lose its ability to support the heart. Thus, many heart diseases are associated with the pathological state of the pericardium. As the heart begins to grow, it can distort the structures within the pericardium and allow the perimphial pocket of tissue to collect fluid, inflaming the pericardium, causing pericarditis. Pericardiectomy is a procedure in which pericardial tissue is removed to eliminate inflammation and improve cardiac function.

The main indications for pericardiolysis are pericardial effusion and inflammatory disease that has impaired the function of the pericardium, causing an inflammatory effusion that makes it worse. Inflammatory pericarditis is alarming because this inflammatory condition often causes a heart murmur and limited heart function.

What is subtotal pericardosis? During a subtotal pericardoxomy, the surgeon removes all tissue from the epicardium on two adjacent sides. Conditions that necessitate this procedure include thoracic canal disease, perichondritis, limited cardiac output through the chest wall, coronary artery dilatation, and pericardial tuberculosis. At the same time, the therapist should evaluate these diseases for any manifestations of cardiovascular disorders. The need and extent of total pericardium may be important medical and forensic issues, along with other indicators of the patient's condition.
