Processed bovine pericardium is increasingly used as a pericardial substitute. It is allegedly nonreactive with epicardium, but adequate clinical data are lacking on this subject. A case report is presented wherein a dense epicardial reaction to processed bovine pericardium was found at reoperation. Histologic examination confirmed the presence of a severe inflammatory response. |
