Pericardial effusion.
My mom is 56 years old. In CT scan it showed there is fluid in lungs and around the heart. Doctor told the fluid is thick and it cannot be removed by syringe. He told she requires surgery. Is it risky? Is it life threatening? Doctor told we will take fluid sample and can find the cause. We are much concerned. What is the name of surgery
