    This study identified seven female patients with constrictive pericarditis after heart surgery, highlighting venous hypertension and pericardial thickening. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for managing this rare postoperative complication.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Cardiac Surgery
    • Pathology

    Context:

    • Retrospective analysis of heart surgery patients from 1970-1985.
    • Focus on a specific cohort with postoperative constrictive pericarditis (PCP).
    • Hospital served patients from across Italy.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the characteristics and outcomes of patients developing constrictive pericarditis post-heart surgery.
    • To identify risk factors and clinical presentations of PCP.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of surgical interventions like pericardiectomy.

    Summary:

    • Seven female patients developed PCP after heart surgery, primarily for rheumatic heart disease or congenital defects.
    • Common findings included systemic venous hypertension, thickened pericardium, and specific ECG/echocardiographic signs.

  • Outcomes varied, with some patients experiencing cardiac cirrhosis and mortality, while others improved after pericardiectomy.

    • Impact:

    • Highlights PCP as a potential complication following cardiac procedures.
    • Emphasizes the importance of recognizing clinical signs for timely diagnosis.
    • Provides insights into the long-term prognosis and management strategies for PCP.
