Background : Iatrogenic cardiac injury, which requires urgent or emergent operation, is rare but is always a clinically significant situation. In this study, we report our experience of iatrogenic hempericardium.

Methods : We retrospectively reviewed 10 patients with iatrogenic hemopericardium who underwent emergent surgery from January 2010 to July 2016.

Results : There were 7 male and 3 female patients, with median age of 65 (range: 56∼80). Six patients (60%) were injured by pericardiocentesis, and two patients (20%) was injured by coronary intervention. One patient (10%) was injured by closed thoracostomy, and one patient (11%) was injured during cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

The most common injured site was right ventricle (n=5, 50%), and other sites were coronary artery (n=2), right atrium (n=1), left ventricle (n=1), and unknown origin (n=1).

Occurrence of preoperative tamponade in these patients was 7 cases.

Surgical treatment was carried out in all patients. Eight patients (80%) underwent the cardiac repair through the sternotomy. Of these patients, 3 patients (30%) underwent the operation with cardiopulmonary bypass support. Two patients (20%) underwent only pericardiostomy.

The overall mortality rate was 3% (3 out of 10 patients). Cardiogenic shock associated with delayed diagnosis was the cause of death in all cases.

Conclusion : The mortality rate from iatrogenic cardiac injury is very high. We believe that the clinical results survival rate can be improved by a high index of suspicion and early diagnosis.
