Does video-assisted thoracoscopic pericardial fenestration improve outcomes and prevent recurrence in patients with recurrent or localized pericardial effusion?
Video-assisted thoracoscopic pericardial fenestration is an effective and reliable treatment option for recurrent or localized pericardial effusion, offering a low recurrence rate.
May support feasibility for recurrent pericardial effusion; leaves open need for controlled trials on recurrence.
