That would suggest an adhesion (a fibrous band of tissue that holds two things together where they shouldn't be) between the lining of the lungs (the pleura) and the lining of the heart (the pericardial sac).
Pleuropericardial adhesions can potentially lead to complications, but they are not always dangerous. These adhesions may cause discomfort, restrict movement of the heart or lungs, and lead to conditions like pericarditis or pleuritis. However, many individuals with these adhesions may remain asymptomatic and require no treatment. It is essential for affected individuals to be monitored by a healthcare professional to assess any potential risks.
abdominal adhesions intestinal adhesions intraperitoneal adhesions pelvic adhesions intrauterine adhesions or Asherman's syndrome.
Nephrolysis is the procedure for freeing a kidney from adhesions.
Although adhesions can be congenital (present at birth) or result from inflammation, injury, or infection, the vast majority of adhesions form following surgery
No, adhesions are scar tissue that forms from previous surgery or infection.
I have found that cross-fiber friction is helpful with reducing adhesions
relatively common in women and the majority of women undergoing gynecological surgery develop postoperative adhesions. Sometimes these pelvic adhesions cause chronic pelvic pain and/or infertility
Adhesions commonly affect the intestines, leading to obstruction and abdominal pain.
Lysis of adhesions is done to either the fallopian tubes or to the: ovaries
Focal adhesions are certain kinds of macromolecular assemblies which transmit mechanical force and regulatory signals.
The presence or absence of adhesions does not appreciably interfere with the distribution of chemotherapy agents.
Deep tissue focuses primarily on adhesions and consists of longitudinal strokes at increasing angles, depth, and pressure to help release adhesions and improve mechanical function.
