Iatrogenic intrapericardial diaphragmatic hernia diagnosed by cardiovascular magnetic resonance

Iatrogenic intrapericardial diaphragmatic hernia diagnosed by cardiovascular magnetic resonance

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Intrapericardial diaphragmatic hernias are very uncommon and are most typically caused by high-force blunt trauma. Other iatrogenic causes such as prior surgical formation of a pericardial window have been described, but are exceedingly rare. We present a case of...
