[Features of the course and evaluation of the efficacy of surgical treatment of adhesive pericarditis with constriction].
Two groups of patients with constrictive pericarditis were identified on the basis of clinical and instrumental examination including echocardiography and computerized tomography of the heart: patients with complete obliteration of the pericardial sac and constriction, and those with exudative/adhesive pericarditis and constriction. Part of the patients were subjected to subtotal pericardectomy. An improvement of left-ventricular diastolic function and hemodynamic parameters was demonstrated 1 to 1.5 months after the operation. Postoperative echocardiography showed persistent disorders of interventricular septum movement and multilayer abnormal echoes in the left-ventricular posterior wall area.
