[Constrictive pericarditis complicating quiescent rheumatoid arthritis (author's transl)]
Abstract
A brief report is given of an extremely rare case of pericardial constriction in a patient with quiescent sero-negative rheumatoid arthritis. Pericardectomy was only partially completed as it was impossible to divide the bands joining the peri- and epicardium.
