Overview

Not draining effusion was associated with higher CP risk after CABG; leaves open whether drainage prevents constrictive pericarditis.

Pericardial drainage for significant effusion after CABG is important for preventing subsequent constrictive pericarditis, especially in patients treated with warfarin or with normal left ventricular function.
