| Popis: | Constrictive pericarditis is characterized by fibrosis and calcification of the pericardium that progressively impair the diastolic filling of the heart, causing heart failure. Uncommonly, pericardial constriction may be localized leading to a focal cystic mass formation that may compress nearby cardiac structures. We describe a unique case of a patient presenting with right heart failure due to idiopathic calcific constrictive pericarditis that was associated with a large pericardial cystic mass compressing the right ventricular free wall. This led to reduced cardiac output and possibly severe focal stenosis of the proximal right coronary artery that was resolved after pericardiectomy, the only definitive treatment for chronic progressive constrictive pericarditis. |
