Abstract:
We report a case of a 46-year-old woman whose right ventricular out-flow tract was moderately obstructed by a heavily calcified pericardial ring. It was passing over the base of pulmonary artery and mid-portion of left ventricle but the other parts of the pericardium was mildly fibrotic. The pericardium and calcified ring were completely removed under cardiopulmonary bypass. The patient was recovered uneventfully and we could not find the specific cause of calcified pericardial ring.
