Fig. 2. A: constrictive physiology was observed on the transthoracic echocardiogram on the first day of hospitalization. Septal bouncing motion, respiratory variation of the mitral valve E velocity (55%), expiratory diastolic flow reversal of hepatic vein, and inferior vena cava plethora (29 mm) were observed. B: improved septal bouncing motion, respiratory variation of mitral valve E velocity, and inferior vena cava plethora (24 mm) were observed on the transthoracic echocardiogram 6 months after the pericardiectomy.
