TEE (transgastric midpapillary view of the left and right ventricles) showing pericardial effusion with RV diastolic collapse

TEE (transgastric midpapillary view of the left and right ventricles) showing pericardial effusion with RV diastolic collapse
In this videoclip of the transgastric midpapillary view, we see a large pericardial effusion encircling the lateral and inferior left ventricle and also behind the right ventricle. There is clear collapse of the right ventricle in diastole, consistent with tamponade.
TEE: transesophageal echocardiography; RV: right ventricular.
