: Pericardiocentesis is a valuable technique for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with pericardial effusion and cardiac tamponade, although it may be associated with potentially serious complications. Through the years, many different imaging approaches have been described to reduce the complication rate of the procedure. This systematic review provides a focused overview of the different techniques developed in recent years to reduce the procedural complications and to increase the related success rate.

Article Synopsis
- - Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease that predominantly affects females, but this case highlights an unusual presentation in a 16-year-old male with severe symptoms.
- - The patient's condition included hemorrhagic syndrome, pancytopenia, prolonged fever, and cardiac tamponade, leading to the eventual diagnosis of SLE.

Purpose Of Review: To discuss the evolution in the approach to pericardial effusions and drainage from a historical perspective, the present state, and pathways for future innovative therapies.
Recent Findings: Incorporation of advanced imaging tools has dramatically improved the safety profile of pericardial interventions. Outcome data allow for refined approaches to management of pericardial disease in special populations, such as pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Tuberculous pericarditis (TBP) is one of the most important causes of pericarditis in developing countries in which tuberculosis remains a public health problem. We report the case of a 20-year-old immunocompetent woman who presented with hypotension and tachycardia echocardiography showed a massive pericardial effusion and signs of tamponade. The patient underwent an urgent pericardiocentesis; 700 ccs of serosanguinous pericardial fluid was drained.

Background: Infliximab (IFX) is an anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) agent that is widely used for the management of a variety of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, including Crohn's disease (CD). As a result of its increasing administration, new complications have emerged. Hemorrhagic pericardial effusion, secondary to IFX therapy, is a rare but life-threatening complication.

Herein is described the case of a 39-year-old female agronomist who was admitted to hospital after a syncopal episode. She had had fever, abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting for the previous month. The patient showed signs of hypoperfusion, so a trans-thoracic echocardiography was done, demonstrating the presence of a cardiac tamponade.
