Summary

Background:

\- Pericardiocentesis uses a needle and small tube to drain fluid from space around the heart. The most common reason to perform this procedure is that the fluid is interfering with heart function. This procedure is usually guided by X-rays. However, researchers want to try the procedure using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) instead of X-rays. MRI guidance may be more precise than X-rays, which can make the procedure easier and more effective.

Objectives:

\- To test whether MRI guidance can improve pericardiocentesis.

Eligibility:

\- Individuals at least 18 years of age who need to have pericardiocentesis.

Design:

* Participants will have a physical exam before the procedure. Blood samples will be taken.
* The pericardiocentesis will be performed using MRI guidance. The procedure may take up to 2 hours.
* If for some reason the MRI guidance is not successful, participants will have the regular X-ray procedure. The MRI system will be used to take high-quality pictures afterward to check the results....
