ABSTRACT
Two case reports of patients with known non-small cell lung cancer that developed cardiac tamponade related to metastatic pericardial disease are described. Both of these patients underwent urgent subxiphoid echocardiographic guided pericardiocentesis. They both were treated with sclerotherapy using intrapericardial bleomycin. There were no complications from these procedures and no recurrence of cardiac tamponade. They both lived more than 6 months after this intervention. This article reviews the pathogenesis, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and current therapeutic interventions of patients with neoplastic pericardial effusion and cardiac tamponade
