What are the prognostic factors and long-term clinical outcomes after pericardiectomy for constrictive pericarditis in a Japanese population?
Underlying etiology and preoperative clinical condition are key prognostic factors for long-term outcomes after pericardiectomy in constrictive pericarditis, and postoperative cardiac catheterization may aid in predicting prognosis.
