Q

(IN THE CLINIC: Pericardial effusion)

Why can pericardial effusion lead to cardiac tamponade?

A

Because the fibrous pericardium is a “relatively fixed” structure that cannot expand easily, a rapid accumulation of excess fluid within the pericardial sac compresses the heart (cardiac tamponade), resulting in biventricular failure.

What type of procedure is CABG?

A

Surgical

114
Q

(IN THE CLINIC: Heart attack)

What is the mechanism of CABG?

A

1) A blood vessel is taken from another part of your body e.g. leg (saphenous vein), chest (internal mammary artery), or arm (radial artery) to be harvested and used as a graft
2) These blood vessels are chosen because there is collateral supply to these areas to compensate for loss of these blood vessels after the operation
3) The number of blood vessels used will depend on the severity of disease
4) If you need 2, 3 or 4 grafts, this will be referred to as a double, triple or quadruple bypass.
5) The surgeon will perform a sternotomy to access your heart
6) The graft is used as a new route, to bypass the blocked sections of the coronary arteries
