Pericardial effusion (fluid around the heart) is an abnormal accumulation of fluid in the pericardial cavity. Because of the limited amount of space in the pericardial cavity, fluid accumulation leads to an increased intrapericardial pressure which can negatively affect heart function.
Pericardiocentesis is a considered a minor procedure, you can be out of the hospital the same day or the next day at the most if every thing goes well. The main serious complication of pericardial effusion is cardiac tamponade which is related to the rate of accumulation of the fluid rather that its amount.
