Differential Impact of Constrictive Physiology after Pericardiocentesis in Malignancy Patients with Pericardial Effusion.

PLoS ONE, 2015
BackgroundEchocardiographic signs of constrictive physiology (CP) after pericardiocentesis are frequently observed in malignancy patients. The purpose of the current study was to explore whether features of CP after pericardiocentesis have prognostic ...

An alternative treatment for iatrogenic right ventricular puncture in primary percutaneous intervention

Türk Kardiyoloji Derneği Arşivi, 2017
Right ventricle perforation is an uncommon, but potentially fatal, possible complication of pericardiocentesis. We presented a case of right ventricular perforation that developed during urgent pericardiocentesis due to tamponade.

Pyopericardium manifesting as cardiac tamponade: A rare presentation of a common disease

Research in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
Pyopericardium is a rare fatal pericardial disease. It manifesting as cardiac tamponade is rare and because of tuberculosis is extremely rare. We present the case of a 20-year-old female who presented with worsening dyspnea, low-grade fever, and weight ...

Advanced lung cancer presenting with malignant pericardial effusion

Clinical Case Reports, 2021
Irregular pericardial wall thickening, mediastinal lymph nodes, and pericardial fluid analysis are helpful to identify metastasis to the pericardium though it is a marker of advanced disease and poor prognosis.

Treatment of Coronary Perforation in a Bifurcation: Two‐Stent Strategies With Fenestrated Covered Stents

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Coronary perforations are a dreaded complication for any interventional cardiologist. The treatment of this complication is exceptionally difficult when it occurs in a coronary bifurcation. While a conservative approach or a balloon occlusion might be sufficient in some cases, additional treatment is sometimes necessary.

Prognostic Value of the Persistence or Change in Pericardial Effusion Status on Serial Echocardiograms in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension [PDF]

, 2013
Background: Pericardial effusion in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is an indicator of right heart failure and a marker of poor prognosis; its significance on serial transthoracic echocardiograms (TTE) is not clear.
