  • Title: Percutaneous balloon pericardiotomy for patients with recurrent pericardial effusion: using a novel double-balloon technique with one long and one short balloon.
    Author: Hsu KL, Tsai CH, Chiang FT, Lo HM, Tseng CD, Ho SG, Tseng YZ.
    Journal: Am J Cardiol; 1997 Dec 15; 80(12):1635-7. PubMed ID: 9416957.
    Abstract:
    Percutaneous balloon pericardiotomy is effective and less invasive for the treatment of recurrent pericardial effusion. This study suggests that the double-balloon method with 1 longer and 1 shorter balloon is the procedure of choice for percutaneous balloon pericardiotomy.
