Feasibility study of intraoperative pericardial fluid biomarkers and length of stay after cardiac surgeryCentral MessagePerspective [PDF]
JTCVS Techniques, 2023 Objective: Pericardial fluid biomarkers reflect the physiologic state of the myocardium. Previously, we showed a sustained increase in pericardial fluid biomarkers compared with blood in the 48 hours after cardiac surgery.

Large Pericardial Effusion—Diagnostic and Therapeutic Options, with a Special Attention to the Role of Prolonged Pericardial Fluid Drainage [PDF]
Diagnostics, 2022 Background: Large pericardial effusion (LPE) is associated with high mortality. In patients with cardiac tamponade or with suspected bacterial etiology of pericardial effusion, urgent pericardial decompression is necessary.

The Prognostic Impact of Pericardial Fluid Cytology in Malignant Pericardial Effusion. [PDF]
Anatol J Cardiol, 2023 Malignant pericardial effusion may affect almost 15 of the patients with underlying malignancies which deteriorates the prognosis. The prognostic significance of pericardial fluid cytology is under-represented in previous studies.A total of 73 patients with symptomatic pericardial effusion treated with pericardiocentesis were included in this ...

A Case of Pericardial Decompression Syndrome Following Surgical Pericardial Fluid Drainage. [PDF]
Cureus, 2021 Pericardial decompression syndrome (PDS) is a rare and serious complication that follows often-initially-uncomplicated pericardial drainage in patients with pericardial effusion and tamponade physiology. The pathophysiology of PDS is not yet completely understood, although several mechanisms have been postulated.
