Video-assisted thoracoscopy surgical diaphragmatic plication is the standard of care for diaphragmatic eventration. However, it is associated with complications like injuries to the bowel, liver, spleen, and lung parenchyma. We report life-threatening cardiac tamponade after Video-assisted thoracoscopy surgical diaphragmatic plication. The mechanisms contributing to the injury are described as well.
