Incidence andManagement ofPostoperative Low Cardiac Output Syndrome After Pericardiectomy
Over past 100years there have been tremendous progress in diagnostic accuracy of constrictive pericarditis and principles regarding treatment of chronic constrictive pericarditis have evolved over time. However, there remain several unsubstantiated approaches in the medical and surgical management of massive pericardial effusion and chronic constrictive pericarditis. Also there is no infallible method to decide on the optimal surgical approach for a given patient [1, 3, 4, 1120, 34, 35, 41, 42, 54,
61, 62, 6870, 81, 83, 100, 101, 120, 121, 132].
Low cardiac output syndrome was rst described by Parr etal. in 1975 [84].
They measured the cardiac index (CI) by dye dilution method and discovered that 25% of children after cardiac surgery had a cardiac index of less than 2.0L/min/m2 [41, 42, 84]. Twenty years later, Wernovsky and colleagues also demonstrated low cardiac output syndrome in children after arterial switch operation [126]. In 1983, Vandyke and colleagues described low cardiac output syndrome for the rst time following pericardiostomy for cardiac tamponade [123].
Despite scientic advances, there remain several myths and controversies in the
management of acute and chronic pericardial diseases.
18.1 Unresolved Issues andControversies
1. Ascitic and pleural uid drainage after pericardiostomy and pericardiectomy can
cause hypovolemic shock.
2. Digoxin should be used routinely in the preoperative period.
3. There is no difference between median sternotomy or left anterolateral thora-
cotomy approaches in achieving total pericardiectomy.
4. Cardiopulmonary bypass is necessary to achieve complete pericardiectomy.

5. The recommended sequence of excision of pericardium starts from left ventricle,
then aorta followed by right ventricle, pulmonary artery, left atrium in that order and lastly right atrium.
6. Ideal investigative modality for early recognition and timely intervention of low
cardiac output syndrome: Doppler echocardiography/ transesophageal echocar­diographic monitoring / tissue Doppler imaging/thermodilution catheter /pulmo­nary artery catheter/ vigileo™ FloTrac™ device/IKON?
7. Assessment and timely institution of inotropes for management of perioperative
low cardiac output syndrome.
8. Dening the role of intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation therapy in manage-
ment of low cardiac output syndrome after pericardiectomy/pericardiostomy.
In order to bring clarity in these issues, we searched for all published literature which discussed low cardiac output syndrome and their management after pericar­diostomy for pericardial effusion and pericardiectomy for chronic constrictive peri­carditis. The search engines employed were PubMed, Google Scholar, Cochrane Database for Systematic Reviews, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Ovid MEDLINE, ACP Journal Club, Ovid EMBASE, and Database of Abstracts of Review of Effectiveness in all languages. We found 97 publications related to these topics. The knowledge from these investigations was collated and analyzed to out­line the pathophysiology of this paradoxical response, issues of concern, and vari­ous surgical, non-surgical, and myocardial supportive strategies which can be employed to achieve an improved clinical outcome.
Incidence of low cardiac output syndrome following pericardial decompression
is 4.1–7.5% in patients with cardiac tamponade, and 24–28% following pericardiec­tomy. Hospital mortality secondary to low cardiac output syndrome, but not directly related to surgical procedure ranges between 24% and 28% in both groups of patients, following either pericardiostomy or pericardiectomy [1, 3, 4, 1129, 41,
42, 54, 61, 62, 6973, 84, 85, 100, 101, 104109, 120, 132, 133].
Thorough understanding of the pathophysiologic changes that may impair car-
diac function following pericardiostomy or pericardiectomy is required to deter­mine the factors contributing to low cardiac output syndrome. The aetiology of low cardiac output syndrome is generally multifactorial [1, 3, 4, 1127, 29, 41, 42, 54,
61, 62, 6973, 84, 85, 100, 101, 104109, 120, 132, 133].
Impaired ventricular diastolic compliance is the haemodynamic hallmark of
chronic constrictive pericarditis. After a successful pericardiectomy, there are major uid shifts from extravascular to intravascular compartments. This auto transfusion results in failure of the Frank-Starling mechanism, causing acute cardiac dilation mimicking acute left ventricular dysfunction from volume overload. The volume overload and ventricular dysfunction lead to acute stretching of the annulus result­ing in functional regurgitation. Massive ascites is a signicant predictor of mortality [1118]. Another important factor is the myocardial oedema due to the repeated mechanical compression during pericardial mobilization. A paradoxical response with severe biventricular dysfunction is noted in some patients after pericardial decompression, despite improved cardiac lling and stroke volume [5, 1118].

Patients with constrictive pathology have more diastolic and systolic dysfunction
than patients with non-constrictive pathology like myocardial ischemia, stunning, atrophy or over-dilation [1, 6, 8, 22, 30, 4349, 55, 6365, 79, 80, 86, 87, 110112]. However, clinical outcomes of these patients have not been studied in post- pericar­diectomy periods [1117].
The offending pathophysiological mechanisms responsible for low cardiac out-
put syndrome following pericardiostomy/pericardiectomy are not well understood. Various theories that have been proposed to explain it are:
• Occult systolic dysfunction. Preexisting systolic dysfunction masked by reduced chamber size and tachycardia is brought out by pericardial decompression. Vandyke and associates postulated that the acute haemodynamic changes due to change of intraventricular volume in setting of dilated ventricles and changing systemic vascular resistance could be the reason for cardiac dysfunction follow­ing tamponade decompression [123]. Release of constrictive pericarditis causes improvement of right ventricular ejection fraction according to Frank-Starling mechanism. However, continued increase in intraventricular volume causes increased systolic wall stress, a reduction in stroke volume, and fall in cardiac output [123]. Left ventricular systolic dysfunction has also been noted following pericardiocentesis in two patients of cardiac tamponade by Wolfe and Edelman [127]. Two factors important in predicting low cardiac output noted in this study were abrupt increase in myocardial wall stress and chronicity of tamponade [127].
• Pericardial decompression attenuate the increased sympathetic tone and endog­enous catecholamines due to tamponade. This could result in unmasking of pre­existing myocardial dysfunction. This was hypothesized by Chamoun and colleagues in 2003 [23].
• Pericardiostomy or pericardiectomy, may result in rapid over dilation of the heart resulting in postoperative low cardiac output syndrome. This response is related to the magnitude and velocity at which the load develops [36, 69, 9092,
102, 103].
• According to Hamaya and colleagues, changing intramyocardial blood distribu­tion during operative management of tamponade results in myocardial stunning and low cardiac output [43].
• Another theory put forward by Wechsler and colleagues incriminates subendo­cardial hemorrhage during surgery for tamponade for causing myocardial stun­ning and necrosis [128]. Transient biventricular dysfunction after pericardiectomy without any coronary artery disease was demonstrated by Ligero and colleagues [65, 66, 128].
• Various other factors implicated in low cardiac output syndrome after pericardi­ectomy are myocardial involvement by same pathology, immobilisation myocar­dial atrophy, incomplete or ineffective decortication, ventricular remodelling, worsening tricuspid regurgitation, abnormal diastolic lling, and postoperative mitral regurgitation secondary to papillary muscle elongation [3, 30, 31, 37, 38,
50, 54, 56, 57, 63, 64, 9296, 130, 131]. It has been observed that, regardless of
the extent of pericardial resection or operative technique, a subset of patients with chronic constrictive pericarditis developed postoperative low cardiac output syndrome [3, 1118, 54].
