title: [Endoscopic pericardial fenestration. A minimally invasive method of diagnosis and therapy of pericardial effusion].

We elaborate a technique of endoscopic pericardial window procedure. In this way it is possible to combine a minimally invasive proceeding with sufficient diagnosis and therapy.
