Steroidal therapy was prescribed which caused clinical improvement without complete resolution of the pericardial effusion. On day 20 of hospital stay a new echocardiographic evaluation showed a discontinuation of the postero lateral myocardial wall (Figure 1), about 1 cm in width, widely communicating ...
Pericardial Effusion per se Bidimensional (2D) echocardiography is the most sensitive technique for the detection ofpericardial effusion, even subclinical[13,14].Pericardial effusionappears as an anechoic space between the external pericardial and the epicardial layers (Figure 17-1)[13,14]. The importa...
Background: Large pericardial effusion (pe) is a life threatening pathology requiring prompt diagnosis and effective local treatment. Malignancy and especially lung cancer, is one of the leading causes. The aim of the present study was to find the optimal diagnostic algorithm for ...
Five patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis for end-stage renal disease underwent therapeutic pericardiocentesis for pericarditis manifested by either cardiac tamponade or effusion unresponsive to conservative therapy. Pericardiocentesis was followed by a one-time instillation of triamcinolone hexacetonide,...
