dissection without compromising haemodynamics. The right-sided ap was divided 1cm anterior to the right phrenic pedicle, freeing the superior and infe­rior cavoatrial junctions (Figs.14.8a–d).
• After securing haemostasis, the pericardial and pleural cavities were irrigated
using dilute 1% betadine solution and warm normal saline.
• Two ventricular pacing wires were placed as a routine. Two intercostal drains
were placed, and the wound was closed in layers.
• Dopamine at a dose of 5μg/kg/min was electively started on completion of the
pericardiectomy. There was immediate reduction of median right atrial pressure from 28mmHg (preoperative) to 4–5mmHg postoperatively, after completion of mobilization.
• The right-sided pericardial ap was divided into two halves and excised, freeing
the superior and inferior cavoatrial junctions. The surgeon should be more cau­tious on the right side due to thinness and dilation of the right atrium.

The Operation: Radical Pericardiectomy via Modied Left Anterolateral Thoracotomy Without Cardiopulmonary Bypass (UKC’s Modication)
15.1 Technical Details toFacilitate Radical Pericardiectomy
Via Anterolateral Thoracotomy [15]
15.1.1 The Operation
15.1.1.1 Step I: Operative Approach
• The approach is by left anterolateral thoracotomy with the patient titled slightly
to the right. Both the groins are positioned and draped for emergency exposure of the femoral vessels and institution of cardiopulmonary bypass if required.
• The slightly curved subpulmonary incision by way of the fourth or fth intercos-
tal space gives excellent access to the left ventricle, left atrium and right ventri­cle. Transxation and division of the left internal thoracic artery is required in most patients. In our experience, we do not transect the sternum to gain exposure to right ventricle and right atrium across the midline but employ several maneu­vres as described below to facilitate exposure to the right-sided cardiac chambers with certainty and safety. It is important to divide the intercostal muscles poste­riorly almost till the angle of the ribs, to facilitate opening of the retractor blade without causing any rib fractures.
• A scapular or right angled deep-bladed retractor is used to facilitate retraction of
the muscles of the lateral thoracic wall to facilitate undercutting of the intercostal muscles (Fig.15.1).

15.1.1.2 Step II: Excision oftheThymus andExcessive Fat Overlying
theLeft Phrenovascular Pedicle andApex oftheLeft Ventricle
• A large wet sponge is used to retract the left lung posteriorly to facilitate expo-
sure of the heart.
• It is important to excise the large amount of fat overlying the apex of the left
ventricle in close proximity of the left phrenic neurovascular pedicle.
• The thymus is gently dissected off the pericardium and excised subtotally trans-
xing its superior pole to facilitate exposure of the pericardium overlying the ascending aorta and main pulmonary trunk (Fig.15.2)

15.1.1.3 Step III: Development ofaNew Cleavage Plane Between
theAnterior Surface ofthePericardium andPosterior Surface oftheSternum
• After retracting the posterior table of the sternum using a deep bladed right-
angled retractor, a new cleavage plane is developed between the anterior surface of the pericardium and sternum using a long handled cautery pencil (Fig.15.3a, b).

15.1.1.4 Step IV: Extension oftheDissection Plane beyond theMid
Sternum totheRight Phrenic Neurovascular Pedicle
• Three to four tissue forceps or No.1 silk sutures are atraumatically placed over
the anterior surface of the pericardium to facilitate traction in order to extend the dissection plane beyond the midline towards the right phrenovascular pedicle (Fig.15.4).
15.1.1.5 Step V: Dissection oftheDiaphragmatic Pericardium
andDevelopment ofaNew Cleavage Plane Between theDiaphragm andDiaphragmatic Pericardium
• Using a long-handled cautery, a new dissection plane is created between the
diaphragm and diaphragmatic pericardium. Care is taken to avoid injury to the diaphragmatic muscle bres and perioperative hypotension (Fig.15.5).
15.1.1.6 Step VI: Isolation andMobilization oftheLeft Phrenic
Neuromuscular Pedicle
• Following exposure of the pericardium, two full- length parallel incisions are
made using low voltage (around 8–10mV) cautery 1cm anterior and posterior to the left phrenic neurovascular pedicle and extended until the level of the pulmo­nary artery superiorly and the diaphragm inferiorly. Multiple silk stay sutures are placed on the incised pericardial edges anteriorly and posteriorly to achieve exposure, and the left phrenic pedicle is thereafter isolated using two elastomer vessel loops (Fig.15.6).

15.1.1.7 Step VII: Pericardial Dissection Posterior totheLeft Phrenic
Neurovascular Pedicle
• The pericardium is gently dissected off the posterolateral surface of the left atrial
appendage and left ventricle. The midportion of the posterior pericardial ap is subsequently divided in two halves, to facilitate adequate mobilization until the level of left-sided pulmonary veins, and excised (Fig.15.7a, b).

15.1.1.8 Step VIII: Creation oftheAnterior Pericardial Flap
• The pericardial ap anterior to the left phrenovascular pedicle is dissected and
raised from the right ventricle and main pulmonary trunk using low voltage cau­tery at 8 to 10 mv.
• The anterior pericardial ap (APF) is subsequently divided in between silk stay
sutures to minimize cardiac compression, thus avoiding unstable hemodynamics.
• Anteriorly, the pericardial dissection is continued till approximately 1cm ante-
rior to the right phrenovascular pedicle and subsequently excised from the level of pulmonary trunk till the inferior cavoatrial junction (Fig.15.8a, b).

15.1.1.9 Step IX: Development ofaNew Dissection Plane Between
theDiaphragm andDiaphragmatic Pericardium
• Inferiorly a dissection plane is developed between the diaphragm and thickened
pericardium avoiding injury to the diaphragmatic muscle bres. Loculated pus cavities, if encountered are unroofed at this stage. The apex of the left ventricle and the diaphragmatic surface of the right ventricle and freed of the underlying adhesions maintaining stable haemodynamics.
• Three to four silk stay sutures are placed as the incised edge of the diaphragmatic
pericardium, divided in two halves and are subsequently excised taking special precautions near the inferior cavoatrial junction.
• All constricting epicardial layers are peeled of the cardiac chambers and great
vessels avoiding injury to the coronary vessels.
