The mainstay of treatment for pericardial effusion is pericardial fluid drainage. Indications for pericardiocentesis or a pericardial window include cardiac tamponade, for diagnostic purposes if there is suspected purulent, tuberculosis, or neoplastic pericarditis, and the presence of a large, persistent, symptomatic pericardial effusion.
