Is the surgery for constrictive pericarditis risky?

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling uncomfortable in my heart. Although I often take medication to control it, the effect is not obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. I'm asking, is the risk of surgery for constrictive pericarditis high?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on the situation you described, if you have constrictive pericarditis, there are certain risks during surgery. It is recommended that you do not become overly anxious or stressed. It is advisable to visit a local cardiology expert hospital for relevant examinations and treatment. Rest and maintain emotional stability. After surgery, it is necessary to undergo anti-inflammatory, anticoagulant, antiplatelet aggregation, and plaque stabilization treatments.
