OBJECTIVES: Constrictive pericarditis is the result of a spectrum of primary cardiac and non-cardiac conditions. Few data exist on the preoperative risk specific to survival after pericardiectomy. This study was designed to compare the association of aetiology of constrictive pericarditis and other

We report on a 9-year-old girl who developed signs of congestive heart failure with significant ascites due to constrictive pericarditis. Cardiac catheterization was performed to establish the diagnosis and to rule out restrictive cardiomyopathy. Endomyocardial biopsies were positive for activated m

Premature closure of the ductus arteriosus (PCDA) and transposition of the great arteries (TGA) cause persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN). We present a case of a newborn who demonstrated d-TGA with ventricular septal defect (VSD) and pulmonary stenosis (PS) complicated by PCDA. T

BACKGROUND: Constrictive pericarditis causes hepatic congestion, which results in congestive hepatopathy and finally leads to cardiac cirrhosis. However, in previous studies, risk stratification from the viewpoint of liver dysfunction was not performed in patients who underwent pericardiectomy for c

… In the present study, we evaluated CABG by using a novel flow analyzer that can calculate bypass graft resistance (Ra), resistance of the peripheral bed to which graft connects (Rp), the inertia of blood flow through the graft (L) and vascular wall compliance (C).Methods: We performed off-pump CABG surgery on fifteen pigs assigned to the following groups (n = 5 each): normal CABG, competitive flow grafts and constrictive grafts.Results: The wave pattern of 3 groups showed a clearly different form. …
