Abstract
The authors describe the case of a 59-year-old man, a former smoker, with hypertension, chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis, and a history of stent grafting for repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm and miliary tuberculosis, who was diagnosed with constrictive pericarditis and a thoracic aortic aneurysm. In a patient with such a complex medical history, there were several etiologies to consider. The treatment consisted of pericardiectomy and a hybrid technique of supra-aortic debranching and subsequent endovascular stent-graft repair.
