*Live cases from the International Cardiology Workshop “Complex Angioplasty up to Chronic Total Occlusion”, April 6–8, 2005, Belgrade, Serbia and Montenegro, organized by the Working Group on Interventional Cardiology of the Cardiology Society of Serbia and Montenegro (Chairman: Miodrag C. Ostojic, Secretary: Milan A. Nedeljkovic) in collaboration with Clinical Center of Serbia, School of Medicine,...
Background: The most frequent pericardial emergency is cardiac tamponade, but complications of an acute coronary syndrome and aortic dissection may also involve the pericardium. Acute pericarditis can also represent a medical emergency due to chest pain of upsetting intensity. Decompensations in chronic advanced constriction and in the clinical course of purulent pericarditis necessitate critical...
A major clinical drawback in the treatment of autoreactive pericarditis is its inherent feature to relapse. Intrapericardial treatment with triamcinolone was reported to be efficient in patients with large, symptomatic autoreactive pericardial effusions, avoiding side effects of systemic treatment as well as compliance problems. Intrapericardial treatment with 300 mg/m2 triamcinolone was for the first...
Pericardioscopy enables endoscopic inspection and aimed biopsy of the parietal and visceral pericardium. To elucidate possible technical modifications contributing to the feasibility, diagnostic value and safety of the procedure, pericardioscopy with and Olympus HYF-1T flexible endoscope was performed in 32 patients (53.1% males, mean age 46.2 13.1 years) with pericardial effusions. In all patients,...
New directions in the diagnosis and treatment of pericardial diseases synthesize the achievements of modern imaging with molecular biology and immunology techniques. Comprehensive and systematic implementation of new techniques of pericardiocentesis, pericardial fluid analysis, pericardioscopy, epicardial and pericardial biopsy, as well the application of comprehensive molecular biology and immunology...
It is still controversial whether the arrhythmias in acute pericarditis are of myocardial or pericardial origin. The aim of the present study was to investigate the occurrence of arrhythmias and conduction disorders in patients with acute pericarditis with no endomyocardial biopsy evidence of myocarditis (group 1:40 patients, 65% males, mean age 45.6 15.7 years, mean heart rate [HR] 98.7 22.2 beats...
