Pericardiectomy is the surgical removal of part or most of the pericardium.[1][2] This operation is most commonly used to relieve constrictive pericarditis, or to remove a pericardium that is calcified and fibrous.[2] It may also be used for severe or recurrent cases of pericardial effusion.[3] Post-operative outcomes and mortality are significantly impacted by the disease it is used to treat.[4][5]
