abstract = {The thoracotomy approach for pericardial window surgery was shown to be more effective at preventing effusion recurrence and the need for repeat surgery. However, cardiac herniation remains a common complication after extensive pericardial excision. This technical note describes a simple and effective technique to prevent potential heart herniation through the pericardial window and at the same time to avoid potential obstruction of the left artery descending.},
