Abstract
The authors report the case of a 59âyearâold man with a history of pericardiectomy for tuberculous CP in 1984, admitted to our hospital with signs and symptoms of right heart failure. After a complete diagnostic workup, recurrent CP was diagnosed. Given the scarcity of cases reported on this disease, three possible therapeutic approaches are discussed: a second pericardiectomy, heart transplantation and medical therapy.
