Infective constrictive pericarditis

Last edited: 4/23/2026

Overview

Constrictive pericarditis is a condition characterized by fibrosis and scarring of the pericardium, leading to impaired diastolic filling and right-sided heart failure symptoms such as dyspnea, peripheral edema, and ascites 1 9.

Diagnosis

Clinical Symptoms: Dyspnea, peripheral edema, ascites, jugular venous distension 1 14 44.

Echocardiography: Key findings include Kussmaul's sign, pericardial thickening, and impaired diastolic filling 4 16 41.

Cardiac Catheterization: Gold standard for definitive diagnosis, showing characteristic hemodynamic patterns 4 21.

Imaging: CT and MRI can reveal pericardial calcification and thickening 10 30 48.

Tissue Doppler Imaging: Reduced early diastolic mitral annular velocity (E') 67 69.

Magnetic Resonance Elastography: Evaluates liver stiffness, indicative of constrictive pericarditis 47.

Management

Surgical Pericardiectomy: Definitive treatment, often requiring median sternotomy or thoracotomy 3 5 8 21 36 44.

Minimally Invasive Approaches: Considered in selected cases to reduce morbidity 21.

Postoperative Care: Close monitoring for multiorgan failure, fluid balance, and right ventricular failure 18 33 40.

Medical Management: Diuretics for fluid overload, inotropic agents if needed, and management of complications like mitral regurgitation 6 73.

Invasive Support: Use of Impella RP for acute right ventricular failure 25.

Tolvaptan: For severe right-sided heart failure post-pericardiectomy 50.

Special Populations

Pediatrics: Transient postoperative constriction reported, requiring close monitoring 71.

Elderly: Higher risk of complications post-pericardiectomy; careful perioperative management essential 18 40.

Comorbidities: Patients with lupus or prior radiation therapy have increased risk and specific management considerations 6 7 17 27.

Key Recommendations

Perform definitive surgical pericardiectomy for symptomatic constrictive pericarditis (Evidence: Strong 3 8 21).

Utilize echocardiography and cardiac catheterization for accurate diagnosis (Evidence: Strong 4 16 41).

Monitor closely for postoperative complications including multiorgan failure and right ventricular dysfunction (Evidence: Moderate 18 33).

Consider minimally invasive techniques when feasible to reduce surgical morbidity (Evidence: Expert opinion 21).

Manage fluid balance meticulously in the immediate postoperative period to prevent multiorgan failure (Evidence: Moderate 18 40).
