Modified method for epicardial constriction: the electric-Waffle procedure.
2001
: Residual epicardial constriction after pericardiectomy prevents good results. The Waffle procedure, incising the fibrotic epicardium in a crosshatched manner, is frequently used to release the epicardial constriction. In this report, we describe a modification of the Waffle procedure, which uses the electrocautery unit and watching the standard monitoring equipment for arrhythmia, to perform multiple epicardial incisions.
