Cardiac herniation following pericardial resection is a rare and potentially fatal complication. We present a case of a cardiac herniation after excision of pericardial thymic cyst. The patient had cardiac arrest one hour after surgery. Re-thoracotomy in the high dependency care unit, and reduction of cardiac herniation were done. There was no case report in the literature of cardiac herniation after excision of pericardial tumor.
心包切除术后心脏疝是一种罕见且可能致命的并发症。我们报告一例心包胸腺囊肿切除术后发生心脏疝的病例。患者术后1小时发生心脏骤停。在重症监护病房进行了再次开胸手术，并还纳了心脏疝。文献中尚无关于心包肿瘤切除术后心脏疝的病例报告。
