Pericardial color Doppler flow in postpericardiotomy effusive constrictive pericarditis.

abstract：:Advances in echocardiography have made possible simple, noninvasive evaluation of the heart. We report the echocardiographic findings in a case of intrapericardial bronchogenic cyst. The patient, a 36-year-old woman, was hospitalized because of pericarditis. Echocardiography revealed a large unilocular cystic structur...
