Abstract

Two-dimensional echocardiography-guided pericardiocentesis is an accepted, safe, and cost-effective procedure. Carefully selected patients can be treated with this technique in an outpatient setting. A consecutive series of outpatient echocardiography-directed pericardiocentesis performed for diagnostic or therapeutic indications is described. Appropriate technique and precautions are discussed.
