Early right ventricular failure following a large endocardiectomy in right endomyocardial fibrosis (EMF) is reported. This diagnosis was confirmed upon echocardiography by the presence of a dilated right ventricle, and hemodynamically (upon postoperative control catheterization) by the presence of right ventricular diastolic dysfunction. The role of the endocardiectomy and of the pericardium in the genesis of this ventricular dysfunction are discussed in the light of this case which was documented by a hemodynamic study and surgically confirmed.
