Thoracoscopic creation of a pericardial window in dogs

P Holak et al. Pol J Vet Sci. 2009.

Abstract

A window in the pericardial sac was created by thoracoscopy in two dogs with diagnosed idiopathic haemorrhagic pericardial effusion (IHPE). Thoracoscopic access to the pericardial sac facilitated surgery and minimised the risk of complications associated with conventional thoracotomy.
