Figures

  Fig. 1. Preoperative CT scan showing enlarged supradiaphragmatic lymph nodes. (A) A mildly enlarged right anterior pericardial lymph node. (B) A right anterior supradiaphragmatic lymph node.

  Fig. 2. Defect in the pericardium created at the time of enlarged cardiophrenic node dissection. Note, the image is a representative example from a different patient than the one in this case report; however, the location and size of the defect are similar. The green arrow points to the pericardial defect. (For interpretation of the references to colour in this figure legend, the reader is referred to the web version of this article.)

  Fig. 3. Postoperative day 1 electrocardiogram (EKG). The EKG shows diffuse ST elevation on postoperative day1 after the pericardium was entered and repaired primarly during transabdominal cardiophrenic lymph node dissection. The arrows indicate ST elevation.

  Fig. 4. Posteroperative day 2 electrocardiogram (EKG). The EKG shows normal sinus rhythm 2 days after pericardial injury and repair.
