- With idiopathic pericardial effusions, the long term prognosis is excellent if the pericardial sac is removed. Without a pericardectomy, several repeated pericardiocentesis procedures may be required.
- With neoplastic induced pericardial effusion, the long term prognosis is very poor. Repeated pericardial effusion is the rule, although pericardectomy can be palliative. Animals usually die of this disorder within 6 months.
