Echocardiogram immediately (A) pre- and (B) postpericardiocentesis demonstrating near resolution of the pericardial effusion (* = pericardial effusion; Pl = pleural effusion). (C) Chest radiograph day 1 postpericardiocentesis. The pneumopericardium is indicated by the green arrows, with the pericardium visible as a sharply defined linear structure encompassing an air density that surrounds the cardiac silhouette. The tip of the pericardial drain is indicated by the black arrow. Diffuse bilateral lung-field infiltrates related to the patient's pulmonary malignancy are evident. LA = left atrium; LV = left ventricle; RA = right atrium; RV = right ventricle.
