Figure 6

Pericardial fenestration by uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery: (1) tensioned pericardium is incised with thoracoscopic cautery and haemorrhagic pericardial fluid is evacuated slowly and (2) after evacuation, the pericardium (thicker than usual) is fenestrated, the heart is directly visible and the pericardial fragment is sent to pathology.

Kaplan–Meier survival curves for operated and conservatively treated patients. No statistically significant differences were observed between the survival rates of patients who underwent surgery and those treated conservatively (p = 0.07).
