Abstract

Pericardial effusion is a common disorder among cancer population that is linked to survival. Echocardiogram and computed tomography (CT) are preferred modalities to assess the size of the effusion. In hemodynamically unstable patients with large pericardial effusions, emergent drainage is necessary. Several techniques for drainage are established, including surgery and percutaneous drainage.
