Transthoracic Echocardiogram Demonstrating a Small Residual Pericardial Effusion Following Pulmonary Artery Catheter–Guided Pericardiocentesis

(A) The parasternal long-axis view demonstrating a small circumferential pericardial effusion with posterior localization and right ventricular (RV) outflow tract dilatation. The (B) parasternal short-axis view and (C) apical 4-chamber view demonstrating significant RV enlargement with a small circumferential pericardial effusion. (D) The subcostal view in end-systole demonstrating small circumferential pericardial effusion with significant right heart dilatation.
