Calcific constrictive pericarditis following tumour necrosis factor-alpha inhibition.
Eur Heart J Case Rep
February 2024
Article Synopsis
- - Tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha inhibitors like adalimumab are commonly used to treat inflammatory and autoimmune disorders, but they can lead to side effects, including rare cardiac complications such as pericarditis.
- - A 63-year-old woman on adalimumab for hidradenitis suppurativa experienced increased breathlessness, with tests revealing pericardial calcification and constrictive pericarditis, leading to surgical intervention after cardiac failure.
- - This case suggests that long-term adalimumab therapy could be linked to unusual cardiac issues, like calcific constrictive pericarditis, challenging the notion that such complications are solely linked to traditional causes.
This report presents 2 cases with the use of different techniques to facilitate aortic valve crossing during transcatheter aortic valve replacement with a balloon-expandable system. Case 1 involves a balloon cushion technique with an Edwards Sapien 3 valve (Edwards Lifesciences), and case 2 describes successful crossing and implantation using a buddy balloon technique with an Edwards Sapien Ultra valve.

The mean age was 66.
