Pericardial Decompression Syndrome After Drainage of Chronic Pericardial Effusions

Pericardial decompression syndrome (PDS) is a potentially fatal disorder of left ventricular function that sometimes occurs after drainage of a pericardial effusion for cardiac tamponade. Patients at risk for PDS are difficult to identify. Here, we report 2 cases where PDS developed after drainage o...

Descripción
Sumario:Pericardial decompression syndrome (PDS) is a potentially fatal disorder of left ventricular function that sometimes occurs after drainage of a pericardial effusion for cardiac tamponade. Patients at risk for PDS are difficult to identify. Here, we report 2 cases where PDS developed after drainage of effusions that had been present for years, suggesting that patients with chronic effusions are at higher risk for PDS. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
