Diethrich, Edward B.
RESUMO
A case of chronic constrictive pericarditis of probable tuberculous origin in a middle-aged white male is discussed. The localization of calcium was unusual in that it was confined to a thick band encircling the ventricles and extending into adjacent myocardium 2 cm caudal to the atrioventricular groove. The pathogenesis, clinical and surgical indications for operation, and the prognosis are considered, together with a discussion of operative techniques employed.
