Abstract:
We review a case of a 50-year-old man with diagnosis of constrictive pericarditis, who underwent pericardial stripping with continuous intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). This patient demonstrates the immediate dynamic changes in chamber size after successful surgical removal of pericardium as demonstrated by TEE.
