A 52-year-old woman presented to another hospital with progressive dyspnea of 10-day duration. The patient was diagnosed with a massive pericardial effusion and underwent pericardiocentesis. However, the patient's symptoms did not improve and she was referred to our hospital with a pericardial sheath in situ. On evaluation, the patient had a large pericardial effusion and evidence of cardiac tamponade, but no fluid could be aspirated from the sheath. This case underscores the importance of image-guided pericardiocentesis.
一位 52 岁女性因进行性呼吸困难 10 天就诊于另一家医院。患者被诊断为大量心包积液，并接受了心包穿刺术。然而，患者的症状并未改善，并带有心包引流管被转诊至我院。评估时，患者有心包积液和心脏压塞的证据，但无法从引流管中抽出积液。该病例强调了影像引导下心包穿刺术的重要性。
