Fig. 17.2 (a–e) Step-by­step demonstration of excision of the calcic pericardium. A vertical incision is made over the midportion of pericardium using a low voltage cautery upto the level of the pulmonary artery superiorly and diaphragm inferiorly. The calcic patches are fragmented using heavy artery forceps

minimal compression/manipulation of the cardiac chambers/great vessels, thereby maintaining haemodynamic stability. Thus, the process of decalci­cation is continued laterally.
• Multiple silk stay sutures are placed on the incised pericardial edges to facili­tate dissection. Subsequently, the ap is divided in mid-portion to facilitate mobilization and dissection with minimal compression of the cardiac cham­bers and great vessels, maintaining stable haemodynamics as much as possi­ble (Fig.17.5a–e).
Step VI: Excision of the left superior half of the calcic pericardium using a bone cutter
• Following mobilization of the left upper half of the calcic pericardium till the level of left atrial appendage and the inferior border of left brachioce­phalic vein, the superior half of the calcic pericardium is divided initially using a bone cutter followed by a heavy scissor and cautery. Precautions are taken not to injure the left atrial appendage, left phrenic nerve, and pericardio­phrenic vessels (Fig.17.6a–d).

• Whenever possible, our target is to develop a plane of cleavage above and below the calcied plaque. The circumferential patch of calcied pericardium is crushed with a thick hemostat and/or bone cutter as required and is removed piecemeal, avoiding injury to the underlying cardiac chambers, vascular structures, coronaries and phrenic nerves. Special precautions need to be exercised while removing calcied pericardial patches over the right atrium, pulmonary artery and right ventricle.
• Using the above precautions, we have been able to remove almost all calcic patches overlying the cardiac chambers, including cases with calcied spurs/ spicules penetrating the epicardium. During last 15 years we have not left behind any calcied patches over the cardiac chambers. We have not used a cavitational ultrasonic surgical aspiration system (CUSA) for removal of cal­cium, or a nerve stimulator for identication of the phrenic nerve, on any patient in this study.
• Although some surgeons grasp the edges of the incised pericardium with a Kocher or Allis Clamp, we use multiple silk stay sutures for holding the edges for traction. Retraction of the heart can be done with the left hand using a wet sponge on the heart by the operating surgeon, or a sponge forceps held by an assistant.
• Although the posterior extent of the dissection line is approximately 1cm anterior to the left phrenic nerve, precautions are taken to not leave behind sharp divided calcied pericardial edges.
• It is most often possible to peel off the calcied pericardium from the phrenic pedicle, and the portion of pericardium posterior to the phrenic nerve. Extreme precautions need to be exercised not to injure the pulmonary veins during the process of dissection.
• It is important to remember that the left phrenic pedicle frequently has a more anterior course than expected. Although some centres periodically stimulate the left phrenic nerve with a nerve stimulator, we have not used such tech-

niques. The left anterior interventricular coronary artery should be well visu­alized in the operative eld.
Step VII: Mobilization of the diaphragmatic pericardium and excision of the left inferior half of the calcic pericardium using a bone cutter
• A new cleavage plane is developed between the diaphragmatic pericardium and diaphragm. Multiple stay sutures are placed deep inside the pericardial edges to facilitate mobilization of the lateral wall and apex of the left ventri­cle. The lateral limit of dissection on the left side is 1 cm anterior to the phrenic pedicle over the left atrial appendage, freeing the apex of the left ventricle.
• The pericardium overlying the apex is subsequently divided using a bone cut­ter and heavy scissor and excised avoiding injury to the left phrenic nerve and apex of the left ventricle (Fig.17.7a–f).
Step VIII: Mobilisation of the diaphragmatic pericardium and release of left ventricular apex.

• Dissection is done between the pericardium and posterolateral left ventricular wall, and along the inferior walls of the left and right ventricles. Posterolaterally, the pericardium posterior to the left phrenic nerve down to the left-sided pul­monary veins is dissected and excised. Generally, there is an increased hae­modynamic compromise while removing the diaphragmatic pericardium (Fig.17.8a, b).
• Between the diaphragm and inferior surface of right ventricle, there are pock­ets of caseation and patchy calcication in many patients. These blind recesses are responsible for the collection of pockets of caseation, and asymmetric distribution of calcication.
Step IX: Creation of the pericardial ap on the right side and division in two halves.
• Next, the dissection proceeds laterally on the right side exactly as we have done on the left side. It is important to divide the right pericardial ap in the midportion; the surgeon should be very careful to avoid injury to the right atrium, the superior caval vein, or the inferior caval vein/inferior cavoatrial

junction. Due to their thinness and dilation, these structures are very vulner­able to injury during dissection. The pericardial reection overlying the intra­and extra-pericardial junction of the superior caval vein is incised as a routine. The posterior extent of the dissection line is approximately 1cm anterior to

the right phrenic nerve. Use of a No.15 scalpel blade is extremely helpful in dissection of the diseased, thickened, calcied pericardium away from the right atrial chamber (Fig.17.9a–d).
Step X: Excision of the inferior portion of the diaphragmatic pericardium
• Finally, the diaphragmatic pericardium on the right side is dissected off the diaphragm, avoiding injury to the dilated and thinned inferior caval vein. The edges of the incised pericardium are treated gently with electrocautery to obtain haemostasis (Fig.17.10a, b).
Step XI: Irrigation of the pericardial cavity and placement of the pacing wires
• After securing haemostasis, the pericardial and pleural cavities are irrigated using dilute 1% betadine solution and warm normal saline (Fig.17.11a, b, c).
• Two ventricular pacing wires are placed as a routine. Two intercostal drains are placed, and the wound is closed in layers.
• Note the decorticated heart and the excised calcic pericardium.
