Provides visual documentation of echocardiographic and thoracoscopic findings in an equine case of pericardial constriction.
May inform equine pericardial constriction diagnosis; leaves open need for prospective validation in larger cohorts.
Video S1: Echocardiogram of a one year old paint filly with pericardial constriction 3 weeks after treatment for ETC associated pericarditis with indwelling catheter and lavage. Notice the ‘trapped’ appearance of the heart and the absence of pericardial fluid. Video S2: Intra-operative video of thorascopic transection of the closely apposed parietal and visceral layers of the pericardium of a filly with pericardial constriction depicted in video 1 and Fig 2.
