Article Abstract
We describe a fatal case of myopericarditis presenting with cardiac tamponade in a previously healthy 11-year-old child. Pandemic H1N1 2009 influenza A virus sequences were identified in throat and myocardial tissues and pericardial fluid, suggesting damage of myocardial cells directly caused by the virus.

Objective: Port sites are a common source of perioperative bleeding in robotic cardiac surgery, which can be exacerbated by patient anatomy and anticoagulation. We present results from the liberal usage of a balloon-tipped coudé catheter for tamponade of robotic port sites during robotic mitral surgery.
Methods: All patients who underwent robotic mitral valve surgery at our institution from August 2016 to July 2022 were studied ( = 320).

We report a rare and serious case of intrapericardial malposition of a dialysis catheter in a 70-year-old patient with chronic kidney disease secondary to IgG kappa amyloidosis. The complication was initially revealed by an episode of supraventricular arrhythmia and confirmed through imaging studies. Catheter removal led to hemodynamic decompensation due to a compressive pericardial effusion, which required emergency sternotomy for drainage.
