RV and another penetrating the inferior septum through the middle cardiac vein (Figure 1). 3-D reconstruction of the RV further visualized the two legs of the embolized IVC filter (Figure 2). Repeat transthoracic echocardiogram one day after the pericardiocentesis revealed no reaccumulation of the pericardial effusion and the pericardial drain was successfully removed.
