Abstract:
Patients, often with underlying rheumatologic disease, may present with pericardial effusions in the setting of pulmonary hypertension (PHTN). Pericardial drainage in PHTN is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. We describe a patient with PHTN who developed cardiac tamponade that was managed safely and effectively with pulmonary artery catheter-guided pericardiocentesis.
