    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Cardiac Surgery

    Background:

    • Aortic valve replacement (AVR) is a common procedure for aortic regurgitation.
    • Infective endocarditis can necessitate AVR, as seen in this case.
    • Chronic constrictive pericarditis is a potential, though rare, complication of cardiac surgery.

    Observation:

    • A 54-year-old patient developed chronic constrictive pericarditis 6 years post-AVR with a Starr-Edwards prosthesis.
    • The patient's prior AVR was due to aortic regurgitation secondary to infective endocarditis.
    • Diagnosis involved phonomechanography, echocardiography, and hemodynamic assessments.

    Findings:

    • Pericardectomy was performed for chronic constrictive pericarditis.
    • The patient experienced a favorable outcome with a 3-year follow-up post-surgery.

  • This case adds to the 45 reported instances of this complication.

    • Implications:

    • Constrictive pericarditis following cardiac surgery is a surgically curable condition.
    • Diagnostic tools are crucial to differentiate this from irreversible myocardial dysfunction.
    • Increased awareness of this complication is warranted for timely surgical management.
