Because of frequent failures in nonoperative therapy, we have adopted early surgical drainage of the pericardium in the management of uremic pericardial effusion. This series presents the longest follow-up period of any group of patients with uremic pericardial effusion treated by surgical drainage. There have been no intraoperative deaths and no recurrences. The total hospital mortality rate was 8.3 per cent and the late mortality rate over a 72 month period was 25 per cent. Internal pericardiostomy drainage is a simple yet effective surgical solution to the life-threatening problem of uremic pericardial effusion.
