What is pericardiectomy

First, pericardiectomy should be performed as soon as possible after the diagnosis of constrictive pericarditis, even if there were some pus and effusion in the pericardium cavity at that time, and the fiberboard was not completely formed. As long as the constriction has hindered the cardiac function, it is better to remove the compression as soon as possible than to delay the operation until the fiberboard is completely formed.

Second: pericardial inflammation prevention and treatment: the most important thing in the treatment of pericarditis is to find out the potential causes and treat them. Of course, if the patient has heart failure, the doctor also needs to treat it to support the heart and help the patient tide over. In the treatment of constrictive pericarditis, because the pericardium has deteriorated, doctors usually consider pericardiectomy. We should actively participate in the physical examination activities organized by the unit, and see a doctor in time.

Third, chronic constrictive pericarditis is chronic inflammation that invades pericardial wall and visceral layer, makes pericardium thicken and adhere, oppresses atrium and ventricle, limits the expansion of atrium and ventricle in mid late diastolic period, and significantly damages the diastolic filling function of heart. There are many reasons for this disease. The common cause is tuberculosis, but other pathogenic factors such as bacteria, mold, virus and Schistosoma japonicum can also cause pericardial constriction. It can also be caused by chest trauma or pericardium after open heart surgery.
