Outcomes of pericardiectomy for constrictive pericarditis following mediastinal irradiation

Journal of cardiac surgery, 2021
Pericardiectomy for postradiation constrictive pericarditis has been reported to generally have unfavorable outcomes. This study sought to evaluate surgical outcomes in a large cohort of patients undergoing pericardiectomy for radiation‐associated ...

Case report: Epstein–Barr virus and constrictive pericarditis—An unusual combination

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2023
Constrictive pericarditis is a chronic inflammatory process that can lead to heart failure if not diagnosed and treated correctly. Although Epstein–Barr virus (EBV)–related pericarditis is a very rare condition, it should still be considered for a ...

Total Robotic Pericardiectomy for Constrictive Pericarditis

, 2023
Constrictive pericarditis results from chronic fibrous thickening, and occasionally calcified adherence of the pericardium. The inelastic constriction of the pericardium impairs ventricular filling, resulting in increased filling pressures and decreased ...

A case report of constrictive pericarditis: a forgotten cause of refractory ascites

Radiology Case Reports, 2020
Constrictive pericarditis is well known but rare and commonly forgotten cause of ascites. Early diagnosis of constrictive pericarditis is difficult due to absence of typical cardiopulmonary signs and multiple vague symptoms and its insidious course.

Constrictive Pericarditis

Circulation Journal, 2008
Constrictive pericarditis (CP) is characterized by scarring and loss of elasticity of the pericardium, resulting in external impedance of cardiac filling. In the developed world, CP is most frequently encountered as a consequence of previous cardiac surgery, thoracic irradiation, viral or idiopathic causes.

ERDHEIM-Chester Disease: Two Fatal Cases With Unusual Presentations. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography‐computed tomography (FDG PET‐CT) demonstrated markedly increased metabolic activity in serosal surfaces including pericardium, pleura, and renal fascia, as well as diffuse uptake along vascular walls, particularly the entire aorta.

Constrictive tuberculous pericarditis in a HIV-positive patient [PDF]

, 2001
Constrictive pericarditis is a relatively rare clinical manifestation nowadays. We present the case of an HIV-positive patient with constrictive calcified pericarditis due to an infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Chronotropic assessment in patients with constrictive pericarditis

, 2021
Management of constrictive pericarditis is often clinically challenging. Heart rate (HR) modulation using ivabradine is associated with improved clinical outcomes in patients with systolic heart failure, although it remains uninvestigated for other ...

A rare case of constrictive pericarditis with Budd–Chiari syndrome due to right atrial thrombosis

SAGE Open Medical Case Reports, 2021
Patients living with HIV (PLWH) with previous pulmonary tuberculosis, presenting with disproportionate ascites to peripheral congestion, should alert the clinician to consider constrictive pericarditis and Budd–Chiari syndrome (BCS).

Tuberculous constrictive pericarditis [PDF]

Research in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2015
Constrictive pericarditis is characterized by constriction of the heart secondary to pericardial inflammation. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is useful imaging modality for addressing the challenges of confirming this diagnosis. It can be used to exclude other causes of right heart failure, such as pulmonary hypertension or myocardial ...
