Surgical treatment of chronic aortic dissection with liver dysfunction due to constrictive pericarditis caused by IgG4-related disease: a case report
Liver cirrhosis was suspected given the ascites, although a CT scan on admission confirmed insufficiency of systemic circulation due to cardiac constrictive pericarditis with aortic dissection. Despite the complexity of various pathologies in this patient, collaborative efforts and effective communication within the medical team enabled successful aortic surgery, averting life-threatening complications.
