Closure of pericardium?

[Ronald Gross]

I have closed the pericardium routinely - in my vast series of 3 survivors in my recent memory - without incident.

I'd like to ask the group, if they usually close the
pericardium after a repair of a cardiac injury? And if
any, have noted an increase in acute or delayed
temponade if the pericardium was closed?
