Pericardiectomy for Active Constrictive Tuberculous Pericarditis
結核菌感染活動期に,急速に進行した収縮性心膜炎に対して心膜切除術を施行し,血行動態の改善を認めた1例を経験した.症例は60歳,男性.食欲不振を主訴に受診,胸水および心嚢水の貯留を認め入院,精査の結果結核性心膜炎と診断し,薬剤治療を行った.しかし,心不全の改善が得られず,収縮性心膜炎への移行と判断し,体外循環補助を使用せずに心膜部分切除術を施行した.術後は症状の軽快を認め,術後39日に退院した.退院後の精査では,心膜の肥厚は消失し,血行動態も改善していた.

Tricuspid Regurgitation in Tuberculous Constrictive Pericarditis Underwent Pericardiectomy
The presence of constrictive pericarditis (CP) in conjunction with tricuspid regurgitation (TR) and the worsening of TR following pericardiectomy are associated with a reduction in patient survival. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of tuberculous CP in conjunction with TR, the incidence of worsening regurgitation following ...
