Résumé
The pericardial cavity and its boundaries are formed by the reflections of the visceral and parietal pericardial layers. This space is an integral access point for epicardial interventions. As the pericardial layers reflect over the great vessels and the heart, they form sinuses and recesses, which restrict catheter movement. The epicardial vasculature is also important when performing nearby catheter ablation. The phrenic nerve and esophagus are other important structures to appreciate so as to avoid collateral injury. In addition, the Larrey space, or left sternocostal triangle, is a key avascular window through which pericardial access can be safely achieved.
