Wood A Bendjelid K 2007 A 57-year-old woman developed cardiogenic shock secondary to right ventricular failure in the postoperative setting. Because of clinical suspicion of pulmonary embolism, the patient was taken to the operating room for emergency thrombectomy. The patient improved dramatically after sternotomy and pericardiotomy, with no evidence of thrombus being found. Sternotomy followed by pericardiotomy may have a role in the treatment of acute right ventricular failure with small pericardial effusion. https://sonar.ch/global/documents/174514 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.1016/j.jclinane.2006.09.007 info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/pmid/17572329 Journal of clinical anesthesia. - 2007 Female Humans Middle Aged Pericardiectomy Pulmonary Embolism Sternum Thrombectomy Ventricular Dysfunction, Right Pericardiotomy and right ventricular failure: a case report. http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501
