Abstract
We describe a method to perform successful drainage of pericardial effusion by incising the diaphragm via the peritoneal cavity assisted by transesophageal echocardiography. This transdiaphragmatic approach is a remarkably simple and useful method for pericardial drainage when the conventional transsubxiphoid approach is difficult and dangerous because of intractable adhesions between the heart and the pericardium.
