Should not yet change practice; hypothesis-generating for CT-fluoroscopy in sonographically inaccessible pericardial effusions.
Is CT-fluoroscopy guided drainage feasible and safe for pericardial effusions not accessible by sonography?
CT-fluoroscopy guided drainage is a feasible alternative for pericardial effusions that cannot be drained under standard ultrasound guidance.
Brüning et al. (2002) studied this question.
