Received October 27, 1977; Two cases of cardiac herniation following intrapericardial lung resections were reported.

One was a case of a 29-year-old male with adenocarcinoma of the right lower lobe and the other was a 43-year-old male with squamous cell carcinoma of the right upper lobe of the lung.

In the former, cardiac herniation occurred in the recovery room. In the latter, it occurred during the second operation repairing bronchial fistula which appeared 20 days after the previous intrapericardial surgery. The time delay in the second case was due to the unsuitable quality of prosthesis for the pericardial defect.
