- W2969542298 abstract "Pericardiectomy is the final treatment for constrictive pericarditis. However, this greatest surgical approach is still very controversial. This study pursued to assess the outcomes in patients with recurrent chronic constrictive pericarditis undergoing reoperated pericardiectomy via median sternotomy versus left anterolateral thoracotomy and to explain which surgical approaches might be better for recurrent chronic constrictive pericarditis.A total of 24 patients were identified with recurrent chronic constrictive pericarditis and underwent reoperation with pericardiectomy between July 2003 and July 2015. The decision for this surgical approach was mainly dependent on the operating surgeon's preference. Out of 20 patients, 16 patients underwent pericardiectomy via median sternotomy and 8 patients via left anterolateral thoracotomy pericardiectomy. Their data were obtained retrospectively from the case notes.Both groups of patients were similar in age, gender between two operations, and also in peripheral venous pressure, cardiac rhythm and New York Heart Association (NYHA) class distribution. The mortality rates were similar in both groups with one death (12.5%) due to low cardiac output syndrome in the left anterolateral thoracotomy group and two deaths (12.5%) in the median sternotomy group. All the deaths were associated with cardiac complications and happened in the perioperative period. NYHA functional class status enhanced in most of the patients. Patients in both groups had a similar and significant improvement in their NYHA status that improved from 3.4 ± 0.7 to 1.8 ± 0.1 (P = 0.001) in the left anterolateral thoracotomy group and reduced from 3.3 ± 0.6 to 1.9 ± 0.4 (P = 0.001) in the median sternotomy group. There was a significantly greater rate of pulmonary infection in the thoracotomy group than in the median sternotomy group (50% versus 25%, P = 0.02). Nevertheless, there was a significantly greater occurrence of wound infections in the median sternotomy group in 3 patients versus in one patient of the left anterolateral thoracotomy group (18.8% versus 12.5%, P = 0.02).Left thoracotomy incision was preferred to sternotomy in the current setting of this situation and was done safely without CPB. It avoided life-threatening sternal infection and it also has showed an equal as well las significant enhancement of NYHA status of the patients." @default.
