In-Hospital Mortality Among Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Pericardiocentesis for Pericardial Effusion with and Without Malignancy

Current Oncology
Background: Despite the high prevalence of malignant pericardial effusions (MPEs), the differences in mortality between those undergoing pericardiocentesis for MPE versus non-malignancy pericardial effusions (NMPEs) are not well characterized. To address

Pericardial Decompression for Acute Traumatic Cardiac Tamponade-Pearls and Clamshells. [PDF]

Emerg Med Australas
ABSTRACT Acute traumatic cardiac tamponade is a time‐critical—but potentially reversible—cause of circulatory collapse. The surgical, operative, nursing and anaesthesiology staff most capable and best trained to perform the procedure are often not immediately available, requiring emergency medical staff to perform this life‐saving intervention.

Acute Cardiac Tamponade Following Enfortumab Vedotin Initiation in Metastatic Urothelial Carcinoma: Successful Rescue by Pericardial Fenestration. [PDF]

IJU Case Rep
ABSTRACT Introduction Enfortumab vedotin is a Nectin‐4‐directed antibody–drug conjugate approved for metastatic urothelial carcinoma. Cardiac adverse events such as pericardial effusion or tamponade associated with enfortumab vedotin are extremely rare. Case Presentation A 50‐year‐old man with metastatic UC developed chest pain and dyspnea 3 days after
