1 Comparison of open subxiphoid pericardial drainage with percutaneous catheter drainage for symptomatic pericardial effusion  Jerome M McDonald, MD, Bryan F Meyers, MD, Tracey J Guthrie, RN, Richard J Battafarano, MD, PhD, Joel D Cooper, MD, G.Alexander Patterson, MD  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 76, Issue 3, Pages (September 2003) DOI: /S (03)

2 Fig 1 Actuarial survival plot of treatment groups by the Kaplan-Meier method. Numeric percentages survival on curve represent 1, 3, and 5 years. Open drainage (black line; n = 150) = subxiphoid pericardiostomy; catheter drainage (gray line; n = 96) = percutaneous pericardial catheter drainage. p = 0.12 by Mantel. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (03) )

3 Fig 2 Freedom from reintervention for recurrent pericardial effusion by the Kaplan-Meier method. Numeric percentages on curve represent 6 and 12 months. Open drainage (black line; n = 150) = subxiphoid pericardiostomy; catheter drainage (gray line; n = 96) = percutaneous pericardial catheter drainage. p less than by Mantel.
