Tóm tắt

A 100-year-old female patient was admitted for a pericardial effusion with unknown etiology. Pericardiocentesis was performed and the pigtail drainage catheter was noted to be in the right ventricle and not pericardial space. A separate pigtail catheter was placed in the pericardial space and the existing pigtail catheter was removed under close hemodynamic monitoring. The patient subsequently stabilized. This case demonstrates that puncture of the right ventricle may be treated conservatively.
