摘要
We report a rare case of a 50-year-old man with signs of right heart failure due to localized pei carditis that was secondary to implantation of an artificial pericardial patch 25 years prior following pericardectomy for constrictive pericarditis. The patient's clinical symptoms resolved completely in the 3 years following patch removal. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
