Surgical approaches included thoracoscopy (12), intercostal thoracotomy (3) and median sternotomy (1). Electrosurgical devices were used to complete at least part of the pericardiectomy in 15 of 16 dogs. Ventricular fibrillation appeared to be initiated during electrosurgical use in 8\/15 dogs. However, in 5\/15 dogs it was not obviously associated with electrosurgical use. In 3\/16 dogs the timing of initiation of VF was unclear. In 7\/16 dogs, cardiac arrhythmias were noted prior to the development of VF.
