Research

Mayo Clinic researchers study new ways to diagnose and treat people who have pericarditis. Mayo researchers pioneered a procedure to remove and drain the excess fluid from the pericardial cavity. That procedure, called pericardiocentesis, has reduced complications related to the procedure.
