Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A patient with recurrent acute pancreatitis developed pericardial effusion and cardiac tamponade. His systolic blood pressure fell to 70 mmHg and sinus tachycardia (150/min) developed. The central venous pressure rose from 3 cm H2O to 27 cm H2O. A chest radiograph showed an enlargement of the cardiac shadow. Pericardial paracentesis was performed and 300 ml fluid was aspirated. This produced rapid clinical improvement. The literature related to this uncommon complication is reviewed and possible pathogenetic mechanisms are discussed. |
