Abstract

The purpose of this presentation is to demonstrate a good results of a second operation, the Waffle procedure, in a patient who did not improve following pericardiectomy. Incomplete parietal pericardiectomy, myocardial fiber atrophy, and unexpected restrictive cardiomyopathy can be considered when the patient\`s symptom does not improve after pericardiectomy is carried out. Constrictive epicarditis is always ruled out. In our case, the patient having constrictive pericarditis combined with pericardial effusion received a pericardiectomy. However, hemodynamics and symptoms of the patient following the operaltion did not improve. However, we experienced a good result following a second operation., the Waffle procedure.

교액성심낭염(constrictive pericarditis) 환자에서 심낭절제술(pericardiectomy)을 시행했음에도 불구하고 호전되지 않을 때 일반적으로 불완전 심낭절제술(Incomplete parietal pericardiectomy), 심근섬유위축(myocardial fiber atrophy), 제한성심근병증(unexpected restrictive cardiomyopathy) 등을 생각해볼 수 있다. 그리고 교액성심 장외막염(constrictive epicarditis)의 가능성도 생각해야한다. 본원에서는 심낭삼출액(pericardial effusion)을 동반한 교액성심낭염 환자에서 심낭절제술을 시행한 후 수술 후에도 인상적으로 임상적, 혈동학적으로 호전이 없는 교액성심장외막염 환자를 접하고 2차적으로 수술(Waffle procedure)을 시행하여 좋은 결과를 얻었기에 보고하고자한다.
