Abstract

Endovascular aortic repair is often performed for the treatment of aortic disease because of less invasiveness and fewer complications. Cardiac tamponade is a fatal disease that can lead to death if not treated properly. Cardiac puncture by rigid guide wire used in endovascular aortic repair may cause cardiac tamponade. Rapid diagnosis and treatment are needed when cardiac tamponade occurs. Confirmation of the cardiac tamponade can be accomplished with echocardiography. Continuous echocardiography should be monitor for detection of cardiac complications during endovascular aortic repair.
