Esophagopericardial Fistula with Cardiac Tamponade - A Case Report
심장압전을 동반한 식도 심낭루: 수술치험 1례
Abstract
We experienced a case of esophago-pericardial fistula with cardiac tamponade which was treated successfully by pericardial drainage, closure of the fistula and adequate antibiotic therapy. Esophago-pericardial fistula is rare, often fatal and a demanding surgical emergency. We report a case with review of literatures.
