NCT ID: NCT00684125 Completed - Clinical trials for Pericardial Effusion

Evaluation of Different Strategies of Pericardial Drainage After Aortic Valvular Surgery

Blake
Start date: June 2008
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The incidence of pericardial effusion and late cardiac tamponade after aortic and valvular surgery is higher than after other cardiac surgical procedures. The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical safety and efficacy of prolonged mediastinal drainage using small, soft silastic drains (Blake drain, Ethicon USA) versus conventional mediastinal drainage using large chest tubes. A prospective randomized trial.
