  • Title: Pericardial effusions in patients with malignant diseases.
    Author: Flannery EP, Gregoratos G, Corder MP.
    Journal: Arch Intern Med; 1975 Jul; 135(7):976-7. PubMed ID: 1156057.
    Abstract:
    Six consecutive patients with malignant disease who developed a pericardial effusion were successfully treated with a single pericardiocentesis (two patients) or with indwelling pericardial cather drainage (four patients). There were no complications in either group. Short-term catheter drainage appears to be a safe and effective alternative to surgical establishment of a pericardial window.
