Complications encountered during thoracoscopic pericardectomy
Technical problems
Grasping the pericardium is sometimes difficult because it has a tendency to slip away from the instrument. Alternatively, a regular grasping forceps or an Allis tissue forceps can be used. Some surgeons pass a half-circle needle through the pericardium to create traction and facilitate the first puncture.
Blind puncture of the pericardium with a scalpel blade should be avoided. Inadequate visualization may occur in both positions (with or without one-lung ventilation) when the pericardial sac occupies most of the thoracic cavity. In such cases, time must be taken to push the lungs aside. Early drainage of the pericardium allows for better visualization and more rapid return of cardiac performance.
Breed has a significant influence on working space during thoracoscopy with deep-chested breeds exhibiting much greater working space compared to flat-chested (often brachycephalic) dog. When the instruments cannot move as freely as expected within the thoracic cavity, the cannulae can be removed so that the instruments obtain a greater degree of freedom. Alternatively, flexible cannulas can be used.
Pre-operative complications
Although distension of the pericardium is helpful during surgery, it is recommended to empty partially the pericardial sac before anesthesia to prevent cardiac tamponade (40). For the same reason moving [...]
