Abstract

Trauma and abdominal surgery that involves the diaphragm and pericardium rarely ends up in post-operative visceral herniation into the pericardial cavity. Urgent intervention is crucial to restore the cardiac output and prevent bowel strangulation. A case of a patient with intrapericardial hernia following nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma and en block resection of an IVC neoplasmatic thrombus via transdiaphragmatic approach is presented.
