Introduction Constrictive pericarditis is a rare disease, often diagnosed belatedly. Radical pericardiectomy is the recommended procedure in cases of constrictive pericarditis, although it is a complex and time-consuming surgery. These aspects make 3D printing potentially valuable in surgical planning, allowing the healthcare team to study a printed model for better comprehension of the surgical area and more efficient planning.– Studies have also shown satisfactory results in medical education, particularly in anatomy,, with reports of high-fidelity anatomical models, including those with […]

Abstract Background: International studies have reported the value of the clinical profile and laboratory findings in the diagnosis of constrictive pericarditis. However, Brazilian population data are scarce. Objective: To assess the clinical characteristics, sensitivity of imaging tests and factors related to the death of patients with constrictive pericarditis undergoing pericardiectomy. Methods: Patients with constrictive pericarditis surgically confirmed were retrospectively assessed regarding their clinical and laboratory variables. Two methods were used: transthoracic echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. Mortality predictors were […]
