  KEYWORDS: “End-Stage” Constrictive Pericarditis, Engorged Neck Vein, Septal Bounce, Waffle Procedure, Amniotic Stem Cell Therapy

  ABSTRACT: Aim: To report a case of “end-stage” constrictive pericarditis with clinical manifestations such as ascites mimicking as cirrhosis of liver. Introduction: In “End-stage” constrictive pericarditis, the etiology remains unknown in majority of cases and inflammation plays a central role in its development. It has been readily confused with cirrhosis of liver in which there may be ascites, but venous pressure is normal, the neck veins are not engorged and cardiac enlargement is frequent in other causes of heart failure. Case Report: A 67 years old male presented with sudden onset of tachycardia. Clinical examination revealed right-sided heart failure, “Egg-shell” calcification in Chest X-ray and echocardiographic features of pericardial constriction such as septal bounce and dynamic respiratory changes in mitral inflow velocity. The patient was advised medical measures. Conclusion: When clinical signs of right heart failure become unresponsive to increased doses of diuretics, constrictive pericarditis is more likely the underlying disease since severe, right-sided failure develops in very advanced, the “end-stage” of the disease.
