Chylopericardium with cardiac tamponade after cardiovascular surgery in two patients

A Delaney, GR Daicoff, PJ Hess and B Victorica

Two patients developed postoperative chylopericardium leading to acute cardiac tamponade. Delayed diagnosis and urgent throacotomy did not prevent death in three-month-old patient after the Glenn anastomosis of the superior vena cava to the right pulmonary artery, whereas early recognition of chylopericardium following repair of an interrupted aortic arch in an 11-week-old patient was successfully treated by tube pericardiostomy. The literature is reviewed, and an anatomic predisposition for post-surgical chylopericardium is proposed.
