Pericardioperitoneal shunt for the treatment of refractory non-malignant pericardial effusion
We report the case of a 74-year-old man treated for refractory non-malignant pericardial effusion using a pericardioperitoneal shunt. After the failure of conventional pericardiocentesis, a pericardioperitoneal shunt using a Denver shunt was inserted to drain the pericardial effusion into the perito...

| Sumario: | We report the case of a 74-year-old man treated for refractory non-malignant pericardial effusion using a pericardioperitoneal shunt. After the failure of conventional pericardiocentesis, a pericardioperitoneal shunt using a Denver shunt was inserted to drain the pericardial effusion into the peritoneal cavity. At 3-year follow-up, the effusion was well controlled and the shunt remained patent. |
