A member asked:
Are there any medicines available to stop the reoccuring of the pericardial fluid.and to treat the left over fluid after procedure?

Yes but: It all depends on the cause of the fluid. If the fluid keeps re-accumulating, the pericardium can be removed (you don't need one) and then there's no risk of re-accumulation.
