Pericardial Effusions in Sarcoidosis

Chest, 1979

Pericardial Window for Malignant Pericardial Effusion

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1980
Seventeen patients with malignant pericardial effusion were treated by the creation of a pericardial window. This was done through a subxiphoid approach in 13 patients and through limited anterior thoracotomy or sternotomy incisions in 4. There were no deaths and no major complications attributable to the operation.

Pericardial effusion

2018
Pericardial effusion is classified according to its onset—acute, subacute, or chronic (>3 months)—distribution (circumferential or loculated), and haemodynamic impact. Concerning the size, we propose a simple semiquantitative echocardiographic assessment: mild (<10 mm), moderate (10–20 mm), and large (>20 mm), evaluated as the largest ...
