Pericardiectomy is the only definitive management of chronic<unk>  pericarditis. Effort should be made to remove as much of the pericardium as possible. Extensive penetration of the myocardium by fibrosis and calcification is associated with poor outcome. Operative mortality ranges from 55% to 10%.
