An experience of 25 subxiphoid pericardial windows with pericardioscopy in eleven cases is reviewed and presented. The operative indications in pericardial effusions result from hemodynamic compromise or from the need for etiologic criteria. Validated in its technical simplicity, its safety, its etiologic findings, its efficacy on immediate and delayed no recurrence of pericardial effusion, the low rate of late constrictive changes, this operative procedure is worth listing in the therapeutic know-how of a general surgeon. Indications in patients with suspected traumatic pericardial tamponade by chest wound are related.

Background: Complications after percutaneous breast biopsy are infrequent but may include hematoma, pseudoaneurysm formation, persistent pain, infection, delayed wound healing, vasovagal reaction, hemothorax, pneumothorax, and neoplastic seeding. The risk factors include tumor factors (size, location, vascularity), procedure-related factors (needle diameter, number of biopsies), and interventionist experience. There has been no previous report of a fatal complication resulting from percutaneous breast biopsy.

Article Synopsis
- * While these procedures offer new options for patients who can't use traditional methods, they still carry significant risks like myocardial perforation and damage to surrounding organs.
- * The paper evaluates 10 epicardial access techniques, discussing their success rates, safety, costs, and future techniques that are still in preclinical testing.

Recurrent pericardial effusion is commonly encountered in neoplastic and infective disorders. Intervention is compulsory in patients with unstable hemodynamics and tamponading effusion. Surgical options include: pericardiocentesis, subxiphoid pericardiostomy, and pericardial window.

In the case of malignant pericardial effusion and cardiac tamponade, balloon pericardiotomy is an established minimally invasive option to the surgical creation of a subxiphoid pericardial window. Percutaneous balloon pericardiotomy effectively drains recurrent pericardial fluid by creating a pleuro (-abdominal-) pericardial communication. A series of 26 patients with underlying malignant ( = 12) and nonmalignant ( = 14) diseases underwent percutaneous balloon pericardiotomy between 2008 and 2021.
