Abstract
We treated 19 women with malignant cardiac tamponade due to advanced breast cancer with subxiphoid pericardiocentesis and local thiotepa instillation. The method has no serious side effects, prevents pericardial fluid reaccumulation, and, combined with systemic adjuvant therapy, prolongs survival.Entities:
