Pneumopericardium as a Complication of Pericardiocentesis [PDF]
Pneumopericardium is a rare complication of pericardiocentesis, occurring either as a result of direct pleuro-pericardial communication or a leaky drainage system. Air-fluid level surrounding the heart shadow within the pericardium on a chest X-ray is an early observation at diagnosis. This clinical measurement and process is variable, depending on the

Pericardiocentesis Complicated by Pneumopericardium
This report presents the case of pneumopericardium with trapped air in the pericardial sac occurring after a pericardiocentesis, probably caused by air leakage secondary to a defect in the drainage system and/or accidental removal of the pericardial tube.

Flexible fiberoptic pericardioscopy for the diagnosis of pericardial disease [PDF]
Pericardiocentesis provides an etiologic diagnosis for pericardial effusions approximately 25% of the time. In seven patients with evidence of a large pericardial effusion of unknown origin without cardiac tamponade, a flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope ...

A contemporary look at pericardiocentesis [PDF]
Percutaneous drainage is the default strategy for evacuating a pericardial effusion. A pericardiocentesis can be necessary or required in a wide variety of clinical settings ranging from urgent tamponade to relieve in iatrogenic hemorrhagic effusions in the electrophysiology or catheterization room, to planned diagnostic procedures in patients with ...

Echocardiography-Guided pericardiocentesis using a central venous catheter in rural area
Large pericardial effusion may possess potential risks of hemodynamic consequences and may progress into cardiac tamponade unexpectedly. Pericardiocentesis is advisable in asymptomatic large pericardial effusion when there are signs of hemodynamic ...

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

Emergent Cardiac Surgery After Transcatheter Structural Heart Procedures: Narrative Review
ABSTRACT Transcatheter structural heart procedures have become standard therapy for elderly patients with high surgical risk. Over time, these procedures have significantly increased worldwide, accompanied by a concomitant reduction of major complications, including those requiring emergent cardiac surgery (ECS).

Use of ReCross to Increase Success Rate With Antegrade CTO PCI—A Multicenter Observational Study
ABSTRACT Background Antegrade approach remains one of the predominant techniques for CTO PCI. Success rates have increased significantly recently due to advancements in devices and strategies, along with the hybrid algorithm. ReCross is a uniquely modified microcatheter with two over‐the‐wire lumens and three exit ports, offering significant potential ...
