May aid diagnosis of rare localized constrictive pericarditis; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.
Serap Baş (2020) conducted a case report in Dilated right ventricular outflow tract due to localized constrictive pericarditis (n=1). Cardiac CT and MRI was evaluated on Diagnosis of localized constrictive pericarditis. Cardiac CT and MRI successfully diagnosed localized constrictive pericarditis presenting with a giant right ventricular outflow tract in a 30-year-old woman.
