A member asked:
Once the pericradial fuid is removed through cath proceduer are there any chances of small amount of fluid being left over if yes what is the nextstep?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doctors will check: Doctors will check for re-accumulation of new fluid, which can happen if the original problem that caused the fluid is still active. Hopefully, the original problem is going away, so that new fluid will not build up and need to be removed again.
