Radical Pericardiectomy for Pericardial Diseases
Current Cardiology Reports, 2019The surgical management of constrictive pericarditis has evolved from a partial pericardiectomy via a thoracotomy approach to a more extensive removal of the pericardium. This review summarizes the published studies regarding surgical management of pericardial disease, focusing on the surgical technique of radical pericardiectomy for constrictive ...

International Journal of Cardiology, 2009 BACKGROUND: In patients with constrictive pericarditis (CP), early diastolic mitral annular velocity (E') is usually normal or exaggerated due to limitation of lateral expansion by the constricting pericardium.

Pericardiectomy for constrictive pericarditis
The Multimedia Manual of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2020Chronic constrictive pericarditis results from inflammation and fibrosis of the pericardium. This situation eventually leads to impairment of diastolic filling and right heart failure. Once the diagnosis is made, because the disease is basically irreversible, a pericardiectomy is the mandatory treatment.

Experience with Pericardiectomy
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1973Abstract A series of 102 therapeutic pericardiectomies is presented. Although the majority were performed for tuberculosis, those performed in the most recent decade have mainly been for effusion due to a variety of causes. Because of the lower operative mortality (11 vs.

Pericardiectomy: A changing scene
The American Journal of Surgery, 1984The indications for pericardiectomy as well as the causal factors have changed in recent years. Sixty-eight patients operated on at the UCLA Medical Center between 1955 and 1982 have been described. There were 37 male patients and 31 female patients. The indication for operation was acute pericarditis in 37 patients, of whom 31 had recurrent effusion ...

Thoracopericardiotomy and Pericardiectomy in Cattle
Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1979SUMMARY Intrathoracic surgery was undertaken on 20 clinically normal cattle and on 9 cattle with traumatic pericarditis. In the clinically normal cattle, techniques of thoracotomy and pericardiotomy were attempted to study the feasibility of rib incision techniques for thoracotomy and to evaluate the efficacy of pericardiotomy as a treatment for ...

Radical pericardiectomy for pericardial diseases
The Multimedia Manual of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2021Pericarditis is the most common form of pericardial disease. Its exact incidence remains unknown, probably because many cases resolve without diagnosis. Indications for pericardiectomy from the standpoint of the cardiac surgeon are based mainly on the physiopathology of 2 different entities that can overlap: inflammatory or relapsing pericarditis and ...

Total pericardiectomy for uremic pericarditis
World Journal of Surgery, 1977AbstractBetween 1973 and 1975, 19 patients were treated for uremic pericarditis. The clinical presentation of the condition varied, with some patients having minimal symptoms (chest pain, fever) and others sustaining circulatory collapse. Pericardial friction rub, elevated central venous pressure, and paradoxical pulse were the most common physical ...

Pericardiectomy using an ultrasonic dissector
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1994We report the case of a 73-year-old man on whom we performed pericardiectomy for calcified constrictive pericarditis using an ultrasonic dissector. It seems unlikely that others have not used the technique, but it does not feature in the standard operative descriptions.
