Case Report (n=1)
Hemorrhagic pericardial tamponade is a rare but severe complication in peritoneal dialysis patients that can be effectively managed with early diagnosis and surgical drainage.
Chou et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Hemorrhagic pericardial tamponade in peritoneal dialysis (n=1). Pericardial window procedure was evaluated on Clinical condition and echocardiogram images. Surgical drainage via a pericardial window procedure resulted in significant clinical and echocardiographic improvement in a peritoneal dialysis patient with hemorrhagic pericardial tamponade.
