RESUMO
We reviewed the cases of 42 consecutive patients who underwent surgery for chronic constrictive pericarditis between January 1994 and January 2002, to determine causes, surgical techniques, mortality and morbidity rates, and improvement of functional capacity. Thirty-one of our patients were men (73.8%) and 11 were women (26.2%); their average age was 39.3 years. The pericarditis was tuberculous in 24 patients (57.1%), idiopathic in 10 (23.8%), rheumatic in 4 (9.5%), uremic in 2 (4.8%), and neoplastic in 2 (4.8%).
