Oct 22nd, 2020 - Refractory pericardial effusion after repeated pericardial drainage and drug therapy for nearly half a year after cardiac valve replacement is rare. We present the case of a 36-year-old female patient who underwent an abdominal cavity unidirection...

Oct 12th, 2020 - We present the clinical case of a 60-year-old woman complained of dyspnea on exertion. Echocardiogram showed a giant mass in the right ventricle (RV) with obstruction to the outflow tract. Thorax computed tomography confirmed a mass of greater tha...

Oct 11th, 2020 - A 21-year-old G3P2011 Caucasian woman at 27 weeks' gestation presented with fetal tachyarrhythmia between 240 and 270 beats per minute. Fetal supraventricular tachycardia, abdominal ascites, pleural effusion and pericardial effusion indicated hydr...

Oct 10th, 2020 - Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) has been associated with potentially life threatening cardiovascular complications, including fulminant myocarditis and cardiac tamponade. Optimal management strategies are still unclear, including the role of i...

Oct 8th, 2020 - Although complete surgical resection of thymic carcinoma is a prognostic factor, extended surgery combined with a major blood vessel procedure remains controversial because of the increased risk of mortality. We report a case of Stage IVa thymic c...

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.

May 4th, 2016 - Tough Cardiac Window? Try These Tips A subxiphoid window is typically used to assess for pericardial effusion. To obtain this view, the clinician usually needs to increase the depth setting by a few centimeters (typically to around 18 cm).

Apr 27th, 2016 - Hemorrhagic pericardial effusion with associated cardiac tamponade as a de novo sign of malignancy is seen in about 2% of patients. 1 Consequently, cardiac tamponade is an oncologic emergency and considered a unique presentation of a malignancy.

May 1st, 2015 - Pericarditis is in most cases a one-time disease simply treated with anti-inflammatory drugs. It requires no extensive workup for systemic inflammatory or autoimmune disease.
