Abstract:
The use of a Rotex screw biopsy needle is advocated for percutaneous ultrasound-guided management of pericardial fluid. This procedure is performed under sonographic guidance while the needle tip is clearly visualized during introduction, thereby improving optimal placement and limiting the possibility of complications.
