Management of entrapped intra-pericardial needle: A challenging task
Journal Title: Journal of Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Abstract 30 year old female admitted in emergency department with complaints of difficulty in breathing. She was a known case of systemic lupus erythematosus and had undergone lower segment cesarean section 6 month back. In postpartum period she developed post partum haemorrhage leading to acute renal failure which was managed by hemodialysis. Later her echocardiography confirmed massive pericardial effusion with temponade effect. Pericardiocentesis was tried to relieve the symptoms but during this procedure the needle was broken from its base, and even an attempt of needle retrieval could not be succeeded and it was presumed that it dropped down inside pericardial sac, which was removed by exploring the thoracic cage under general anaesthesia. She stayed in the hospital ward for one week and then discharged uneventfully.
