[CT-guided percutaneous puncture and drainage of pericardial effusion].
Pericardial fluid can impair cardiac function. If medication is ineffective, puncture and drainage of the fluid is necessary. Three cases of CT-guided puncture and drainage of pericardial fluid are reported. The described technique is quick, of little risk and effective. It is superior to the conventional puncture of the pericardium from the subxiphoidal direction.
