Much progress has been made in the past three decades in the treatment of chronic pericardial constriction. Surgical decortication, as it is done today, has an excellent chance for good results. Our experience with 21 consecutive pericardiectomies done during the last ten years is presented. We had an operative mortality of 19 per cent. The results have been satisfactory with the bilateral transverse incision and an extensive decortication.
