Abstract

in this study, 8 cases of constrictive pericarditis operated in our clinie in the last one year period were presented. The lmportance of echocardiographic examination was evaluated. in our series mean period between the onset of symptoms and operative treatment was 20 months. Echocardiographic examination has been made in all patients, 2 patients underwvent additional cardiac catheterisation. Preoperative mean of CVP was 26 cm H20, immediate postoperative mean of CVP was 13,6. During follow up period mean CVP measurement was 8 cm H20.
