Two cases of cardiac dislocation occurred after intrapericardial right pneumonectomy with extended pericardiectomy and radical nodal dissection in spite of proper reconstruction with a pericardial fat flap in one case and with a Gore-tex prosthesis in the other. In the case of major pericardial excision resulting in extensive mobilisation of the SVC a complete reconstruction of pericardium and mediastinal pleura is recommended in order to prevent cardiac dislocation.

Abstract
Two cases of cardiac dislocation occurred after intrapericardial right pneumonectomy with extended pericardiectomy and radical nodal dissection in spite of proper reconstruction with a pericardial fat flap in one case and with a Gore-tex prosthesis in the other. In the case of major pericardial excision resulting in extensive mobilisation of the SVC a complete reconstruction of pericardium and mediastinal pleura is recommended in order to prevent cardiac dislocation.Pubblicazioni consigliate
