The pericardium is a fibrous sac that encircles the heart. This sac is made up of two thin layers that are separated by a tiny quantity of fluid. The body's natural processes can sometimes be negatively impacted by situations when there is a rise in the volume of fluid between this layer.

A medical procedure called pericardiocentesis is done to remove extra fluid from the pericardium. It removes the fluid and stops it from building up again. This procedure is carried out with the use of a needle and a small catheter.

He has performed this procedure quite a few times in his career and is familiar with it. First, he will delicately introduce a needle into the heart's surrounding tissue via the chest wall.

The doctor inserts a catheter after the needle enters the pericardium to aid in draining all the extra fluid.
