Abstract
A 61-year-old woman was referred to our hospital because of dyspnea, wheezing, and tachycardia. Computed tomography revealed a giant hiatal hernia with protrusion of the stomach, duodenal bulb, transverse colon, ileum, and pancreatic tail through the hiatus. The hernia contents were believed to have caused symptoms due to lung and heart compression. She underwent a radical laparoscopic operation involving repair of the hiatal hernia using polytetrafluorethylene mesh and Nissen fundoplication. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the symptoms improved. We report this case of giant hiatal hernia causing heart failure.
