Jul 23rd, 2020 - Pericardial effusions can either be drained by percutaneous pericardiocentesis (PCC) or by surgical pericardiotomy (SP), with limited evidence of superiority for the management of cardiac tamponade (CTa).This study uses the US Nationwide Emergency...

Jun 21st, 2020 - Abnormal accumulation of pericardial fluid is a common cardiac condition with different etiologies. Draining of the pericardial fluid (pericardiocentesis) is often indicated for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes and is performed in an elective o...

Jun 11th, 2020 - Biliary pericardial tamponade (BPT) is a rare form of pericardial tamponade, characterized by yellowish-greenish pericardial fluid upon pericardiocentesis. Historically, BPT reported to occur in the setting of an associated pericardio-biliary fist...

Jun 6th, 2020 - Pericardial Decompression Syndrome (PDS) is defined as paradoxical hemodynamic deterioration and/or pulmonary edema, commonly associated with ventricular dysfunction. This phenomenon was first described by Vandyke in 1983. PDS is a rare but formid...

Nov 10th, 2017 - Pericardiocentesis In the event of obstructive shock or pulseless electric activity with visualized or suspected tamponade, pericardiocentesis is considered standard of care. There are many approaches to performing a pericardiocentesis, including.

Oct 24th, 2017 - A patient with Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) came to Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital in Perth, Australia, after 2 weeks of dyspnea. He was diagnosed with cardiac tamponade and received urgent pericardiocentesis.

Dec 18th, 2014 - Action Points Rifamycin for 3 months or more in patients with latent TB was efficacious at preventing active TB, potentially more so than isoniazid alone. In patients with tuberculous pericarditis, most of whom also had HIV, prednisolone did not h...

Sep 2nd, 2014 - Neither standard anti-inflammatory therapy using prednisolone nor an experimental immunotherapy using Mycobacterium indicus pranii injections reduced the composite outcome of death, cardiac tamponade requiring pericardiocentesis, or constrictive p.
