The Role of Echocardiography: Pericardial Disease in Oncologic Patients

2016, American Journal of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :In rare cases, a direct continuous view of the needle tip may be difficult; regardless, surrounding tissue deformation always indicates the correct progression of the needle. On the contrary, echo-guided pericardiocentesis without a probe-mounted needle does not allow visualization of the needle in 56% to 75% of cases.16–18 The most important procedure-related complication of our series was of a hemorrhagic nature in a patient with a double mechanical-valve prosthesis who was on anticoagulant therapy.
Contrast Guided Two-Dimensional Echocardiography for Needle Localization During Pericardiocentesis: A Case Report
2010, Journal of the American Society of EchocardiographyCitation Excerpt :Approximately 800 cm3 of pericardial fluid was removed. Contrast echocardiography–guided pericardiocentesis (using either agitated saline or contrast agents) has been described over the years in both the pediatric and adult literature and is included in echocardiography texts as an adjunct to pericardiocentesis.1-7 We have successfully used this in clinical practice for many years without significant complications.
