- There is limited information about the historical perspective of pericardial effusion.
- However, percutaneous pericardiocentesis was first described in 1840 by Frank Schuh.
- By the 20th century, pericadiocentesis became the established technique for diagnosing and treating pericardial effusion.
- Before echocardiography, surgeons used a blind-subxiphoid approach; however, this was associated with serious organ injuries.
- However, the introduction of echo-guided pericardiocentesis improved the accuracy and safety of the procedure.
- The technique has been further refined over the past four decades.
