Persistent constriction after effusion drainage warrants caution in suspected effusive constrictive pericarditis; case report leaves open etiology-specific management.
Case Report (n=1)
Multimodality imaging including 2D/3D echocardiography and MRI can effectively demonstrate the thickening of parietal and visceral pericardium in effusive constrictive pericarditis.
Zagol et al. (2007) conducted a case report in Effusive constrictive pericarditis (n=1). Pericardial drainage and multimodality imaging (2D, 3D Echocardiography and MRI) was evaluated. A case of effusive constrictive pericarditis of probable tuberculous etiology demonstrated persistent hemodynamic findings of pericardial constriction after pericardial effusion drainage.
