The optimal approach is unknown. We performed a retrospective observational study at two pediatric cardiac centers. We included 42 children aged &lt;18 years who developed postpericardiotomy syndrome following cardiac surgery between 2014 and 2021. Thirty-two patients underwent pericardial window and 10 underwent pericardiocentesis. Patients in the pericardial window group presented with postpericardiotomy syndrome sooner than those who underwent pericardiocentesis (median 7.5 days vs. 14.5 days,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 0.03) and tended to undergo earlier intervention (median 8 days vs. 16 days,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 0.16). No patient required subsequent drainage. There were no differences between groups in days of pericardial tube duration (median 4 days), complications, and subsequent days of intensive care or hospitalization. For children with postpericardiotomy syndrome with a pericardial effusion warranting drainage, these data suggest that pericardial window and pericardiocentesis have similar efficacy, safety, and resource utilization.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/apc.apc_108_23","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,23]],"date-time":"2024-04-23T11:02:46Z","timestamp":1713870166000},"page":"422-425","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Differences in outcomes between surgical pericardial window and pericardiocentesis in children with postpericardiotomy syndrome"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Joshua T.","family":"Fields","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Medicine, Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, SC, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Conor P.","family":"O\u2019Halloran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Division of Cardiology, Ann and Robert H.
