| Summary: | not is still a debated topic. While many studies favour
pericardial closure after cardiac surgery, many are still not in
favour of the same.
Objective : Objective of this study was to analyse the changes
induced by pericardial closure on the haemodynamic of the
patient using easily measurable variables.
Methods : Data of 30 patients were analysed of which 14
underwent mitral valve replacement, 10 underwent coronary
artery bypass grafting and 6 underwent double valve
replacement.
Results:
There was statistically significant change in cardiac output
(p<0.01), central venous pressure (p<0.05) and left ventricular
end diastolic diameter (p<0.01) after pericardial closure.
Clinically the pericardial closure was well tolerated.
Conclusion: Despite exhaustive experience, the topic of closing
pericardium is still debated. Our study shows that clinically
pericardial closure is well tolerated and in return it also
safeguards the risks associated with re-do operations. |
