Subxiphoid pericardiocentesis guided by contrast two-dimensional echocardiography in cardiac tamponade: experience of 110 consecutive patients.
AIMS We evaluated echo-guided pericardiocentesis with contrast study in cardiac tamponade management. PATIENTS AND METHODS From 1982 to 1998 we performed pericardiocentesis in 110 patients (56 +/- 14 years old). Subxiphoid approach was used in 109. Cardiac tamponade was idiopathic (n = 16), secondary to malignant disease (n = 50) and miscellaneous disorders (n = 44). RESULTS Pericardial flu...

The Committee recommends that when the transducer is placed in the suprasternal notch that it be referred to as in the suprasternal location. When the transducer is located near the midline of the body and beneath the lowest ribs, the transducer should be referred to as in the subcostal location. When the transducer is located over the apex impulse, the Committee recommends that this be referre...
متن کاملPericardial Effusion and Pericardiocentesis: Role of Echocardiography
Pericardial effusion can develop from any pericardial disease, including pericarditis and several systemic disorders, such as malignancies, pulmonary tuberculosis, chronic renal failure, thyroid diseases, and autoimmune diseases. The causes of large pericardial effusion requiring invasive pericardiocentesis may vary according to the time, country, and hospital. Transthoracic echocardiography is...
متن کاملDetection of right pulmonary artery thrombosis by two-dimensional echocardiography.
of an inadequate data base (the point of my column). I am sorry that the word "pressure" was inadvertently substituted for the word "resistance," but what has that to do with the relationship between pulmonary vasodilator treatment and patient outcome? To state that the level of PVR correlates in untreated patients with survival and, hence, to imply that reducing PVR by drugs improves survival,...
متن کاملMetastatic tumors of the heart detected by two-dimensional echocardiography.
As a result of improved chemotherapeutic regimens and cancer treatment, life expectancy has been prolonged in many patients with various systemic malignancies. Thus metastatic invasion of the heart may occur more frequently and may play a major role in the morbidity and mortality of these patients. Early detection of cardiac metastases has important therapeutic and prognostic implications, alth...
