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.
