title: [Drainage in surgery of the heart and great vessels].
abstract: Based upon some recent experience with pericardial drainage a comparison is established between the surgical procedure and the needle-punction; the best approach to the pericardium, depending on the nature of the effusion is described. In the second part, the value of various types of drainage used since 19 years in the cardiac surgery is reviewed on the basis of our own experience with more than 7000 cases.
