23.1.7 Step VII: Developing aDissection Plane Between
theDiaphragmatic Pericardium andDiaphragm
• Inferiorly, a new dissection plane is developed between the diaphragm and the
thickened pericardium all along its length. A loculated pus pocket surrounded by
brocalcic pericardial tissue is encountered. 100ml of putty-like material is
evacuated from the pocket. Three to four silk stay sutures are placed on the edge
of diaphragmatic pericardium dividing into two halves. Dissection is done
between pericardium and diaphragmatic surface of right ventricle and left ven-
tricle. The apex is completely freed from pericardial adhesions. After the cardiac
chambers are freed off the underlying adhesions, the entire width of the dia-
phragmatic pericardium is excised in toto, taking special precautions near the
inferior cavoatrial junction.
23.1.8 Step VIII: Dissection ofPericardium Anterior
toPhrenovascular Pedicle
• Using cautery at 8–10mV, the anterior pericardial ap is raised from the right
ventricle and pulmonary trunk. Multiple stay sutures on the anterior pericardial
edge are extremely helpful during dissection.
• Further division of the anterior pericardial ap in two halves minimizes intermit-
tent cardiac compression and prevents unstable hemodynamics. Utmost precau-
tions need to be exercised while dissecting the anterior pericardial ap overlying
the dilated and thin -walled inferior cavo atrial junction
• The pericardium is dissected upto 1cm anterior to the right phrenovascular ped-
icle the anterior pericardial ap is thereafter excised till the level of the superior
caval vein superiorly and upto the inferior cavo atrial junction inferiorly.
Two ventricular pacing wires are placed as a routine. An intercostal drain is placed, and the wound is closed in layers. After securing haemostasis, the pericardial and pleural cavities are irrigated using dilute 1% betadine solution and warm nor­mal saline.
Dopamine at a dose of 5μg/kg/min is electively started on completion of the pericardiectomy. There is immediate reduction of median right atrial pressure from 26 mmHg (preoperative) to 4–5 mmHg postoperatively, after completion of mobilization.

Modied Left Anterolateral Thoracotomy Approach Without Cardiopulmonary Bypass (UKC’s Modication): AVideo Presentation onTotal Pericardiectomy forChronic Calcic Constrictive Pericarditis
24.1 Surgical Steps (Videos 24.1 and24.2) [16]
24.1.1 Patient Position andSurgical Incision
• For left anterolateral thoracotomy, patient is positioned slightly tilted to the right.
Both the groins are draped for emergency exposure and cannulation of the femo-
ral vessels for institution of cardiopulmonary bypass, in case the need arises.
• After entering the chest through left fth intercostal space, transxation and divi-
sion of left internal thoracic artery is done. In order to avoid rib fractures poste-
riorly during opening of retractor blade, the intercostal muscles are divided
almost upto the angle of ribs. Undercutting of the intercostal muscles is facili-
tated using a deep-bladed retractor. Various manoeuvers are employed as
described further to gain safe exposure of right atrium and right ventricle across
midline without cutting the sternum.
24.1.2 Removing Excessive Fat Overlying Left Phrenovascular
Pedicle andLeft Ventricular Apex
• To facilitate exposure, a large wet sponge is used to retract the left lung posteri-
orly. Once the excessive fat overlying the left ventricular apex is removed, it is
crucial to identify the left phrenic neurovascular pedicle. Due to chronic inam-
matory process, the left phrenic nerve migrates anteriorly in most of the instances.

cardium over the pulmonary trunk and ascending aorta. Subtotal excision of thy-
mus is carried out after transxing its superior pole.
24.1.3 Developing aDissection Plane Between Anterior
Surface ofthePericardium andSternum
• After retracting the posterior table of the sternum with a right-angled deep-blade
retractor, a new dissection plane is developed between anterior pericardial sur-
face and sternum using cautery.
24.1.4 Extending theDissection Plane Beyond theSternum
• After retracting the anterior part of pericardium using three silk sutures, the
newly developed dissection plane is further extended beyond the sternum upto
the right phrenovascular pedicle.
24.1.5 Developing Dissection Plane Between Diaphragm
andDiaphragmatic Pericardium
• A new plane is partially developed using cautery dissection, between the dia-
phragm and diaphragmatic pericardium avoiding opening the peritoneal cavity.
24.1.6 Mobilisation andIsolation oftheLeft
Phrenovascular Pedicle
• Once the pericardium is exposed, using low- voltage (around 8–10mV) cautery
two full-length parallel incisions are made 1cm anterior and posterior to the left
phrenovascular pedicle extending superiorly until the level of main pulmonary
trunk and inferiorly upto the diaphragm. The incised edges of pericardium are
retracted anteriorly and posteriorly using multiple silk stay sutures to facilitate
exposure. Two elastomer vessel loops are used to isolate the left phrenovascular
pedicle.

24.1.7 Dissecting thePericardium Posterior totheLeft
Phrenovascular Pedicle
• Posteriorly, pericardial ap is raised over left atrial appendage and posterolateral
surface of the left ventricle. The posterior pericardial ap is further divided in
two halves thus facilitating adequate mobilization upto the left-sided pulmonary
veins, and excised.
24.1.8 Dissecting thePericardium Anterior totheLeft
Phrenovascular Pedicle
• The anterior pericardial ap is raised over the right ventricle and pulmonary
trunk using cautery at 8–10 mV. Dissection is facilitated by placing silk stay
sutures on the incised pericardial edge.
• Further division of the anterior pericardial ap in two halves minimizes intermit-
tent cardiac compression and prevents unstable haemodynamics. Utmost precau-
tions need to be exercised while dissecting the anterior pericardial ap overlying
the dilated and thin- walled inferior cavo-atrial junction.
• The pericardium is dissected upto 1cm anterior to the right phrenovascular ped-
icle. The anterior pericardial ap is thereafter excised till the level of the superior
caval vein superiorly and upto the inferior cavoatrial junction inferiorly.
24.1.9 Developing aDissection Plane Between Diaphragm
andDiaphragmatic Pericardium
• Inferiorly, a new dissection plane is developed between the diaphragm and the
thickened pericardium all along its length. A loculated pus pocket surrounded by
brocalcic pericardial tissue is encountered. 100ml of putty-like material is
evacuated from the pocket. Three to four silk stay sutures are placed on the edge
of diaphragmatic pericardium dividing into two halves. Dissection is done
between pericardium and diaphragmatic surface of right ventricle and left ven-
tricle. The apex is completely freed from pericardial adhesions. After the cardiac
chambers are freed off the underlying adhesions, the entire width of the dia-
phragmatic pericardium is excised in toto, taking special precautions near the
inferior cavoatrial junction.
• All constricting layers of epicardium are peeled off the great vessels and cardiac
chambers, taking care to avoid any injury to the underlying structures particu-
larly the coronary arteries and veins.

• A bone cutter and a thick hemostat are used to divide and remove circumferential
patches of calcied pericardium and calcic plaques while taking care to avoid
injury to underlying vascular structures and the phrenic nerves.
The chest cavity is irrigated with 1% dilute betadine and warm normal saline. Two ventricular placing wires are placed. The chest is closed in layers after placing an intercostal chest drain.
Dopamine at a dose of 5μg/kg/min is electively started on completion of pericar­diectomy. The median right atrial pressure immediately reduced from 28 mmHg (preoperative) to 4–6mmHg postoperatively, after completion of mobilization.

Total Pericardiectomy forCalcic Constrictive Pericarditis via Median Sternotomy Without Cardiopulmonary Bypass: AVideo Presentation
25.1 The Operation (Video 25.1) [15]
25.1.1 Median Sternotomy, Subtotal Thymectomy,
Mobilization ofPleural Reection
• Both groins are electively prepared for emergency institution of cardiopulmo-
nary bypass, if required, in case of inadvertent injury to cardiac chambers or
great vessels.
• Following median sternotomy, the thymus is subtotally excised to expose the
pericardium overlying the aorta and pulmonary artery. Precautions are taken not
to expose the brachiocephalic vein. The pleural reections are mobilized later-
ally to obtain a wide width of pericardium to be excised.
25.2 I-Shaped Midline Incision over thePericardium
• The pericardium is inspected and palpated to determine a soft and uncalcied
area. Using cautery at 8–10mV, an ‘I’-shaped incision is made in the midline
over the pericardium up to the level of the pulmonary artery superiorly and dia-
phragm inferiorly

25.3 Piecemeal Removal ofCalcic Pericardium
andDevelopment ofaDissection Plane Between Pericardium andHeart
• The pericardial incision is deepened using low voltage cautery until the epicar-
dial fat and coronary arteries are visualized. With the help of a thick hemostat,
the calcic pericardium overlying the myocardium is crushed into multiple frag-
ments and removed piecemeal. Utmost precautions are taken to develop the
plane of dissection between the epicardial peel of Harrington and epicardial fat
avoiding injury to the underlying coronary vessels and myocardium. The calcic
fragments are removed from the myocardium with the help of De Bakey’s for-
ceps, thick hemostat and No.15 scalpel blade in varying combinations.
25.4 Development ofaPericardial Flap ontheLeft Side
• Pericardial mobilization is started at the caudal end of the ‘I’ incision on left side
and progresses superiorly towards the aorta and pulmonary artery till the inferior
border of the brachiocephalic vein, creating a ap of about 1cm width.
25.5 Division oftheLeft-Sided Pericardial Flap
inTwo Halves
• Multiple silk stay sutures are placed on the incised pericardial edges to facilitate
dissection. Subsequently the ap is divided in mid-portion to facilitate mobiliza-
tion and dissection with minimal compression of the cardiac chambers and great
vessels, maintaining stable haemodynamics as much as possible.
25.6 Excision oftheLeft Superior Half oftheCalcic
Pericardium Using aBone Cutter
• Following mobilization of the left upper half of the calcic pericardium till the
level of left atrial appendage and the inferior border of left brachiocephalic vein,
the superior half of the calcic pericardium is divided initially using a bone cut-
ter followed by a heavy scissor and cautery. Precautions are taken not to injure
the left atrial appendage, left phrenic nerve and the pericardiophrenic vessels.

25.7 Mobilization oftheDiaphragmatic Pericardium
andExcision oftheLeft Inferior Half oftheCalcic Pericardium Using aBone Cutter
• A new cleavage plane is developed between the diaphragmatic pericardium and
diaphragm. Multiple stay sutures are placed deep inside the pericardial edges to
facilitate mobilization of the lateral wall and apex of the left ventricle. The lateral
limit of dissection on the left side is 1cm anterior to the phrenic pedicle over the
left atrial appendage, freeing the apex of the left ventricle.
• The pericardium overlying the apex is subsequently divided using a bone cutter
and heavy scissor and excised avoiding injury to the left phrenic nerve and apex
of the left ventricle.
25.8 Mobilization ofDiaphragmatic Pericardium
• A new cleavage plane is subsequently developed between the diaphragmatic
pericardium and diaphragm. Three to four silk stay sutures are placed on the
edges of the diaphragmatic pericardium, dividing it in two halves.
• The pericardium overlying the inferior surface of the heart is subsequently dis-
sected and excised, thus freeing the diaphragmatic surface of the right ventricle
and apex of left ventricle with minimal compromise on haemodynamics.
25.9 Creation ofPericardial Flap onRight Side
• The right side of the pericardial ap is subsequently developed taking care not to
injure the right atrium, superior caval vein and inferior caval vein. Due to the
thinness and dilation, these structures are more vulnerable to injury during dis-
section. The right-sided ap is also divided in midportion to facilitate dissection
without compromising haemodynamics. The right-sided ap is divided 1cm
anterior to the right phrenic pedicle, freeing the superior and inferior cavoatrial
junctions.
25.10 Irrigation oftheMiddle Mediastinum andPlacement
ofthePacing Wires
• After securing haemostasis, the pericardial and pleural cavities are irrigated
using dilute 1% betadine solution and warm normal saline.
