In our study, time between symptoms and surgery (22.9 ± 4.1 vs. 6.7 ± 0.5 month, P < 0.001), thickness of pericardium (22.7 ± 0.6 vs. 19.8 ± 0.2 mm, P < 0.001), preoperative CVP (25.0 ± 0.4 vs. 19.3 ± 0.2 mmHg, P < 0.001) in group with multiorgan failure were significantly higher than those in group without multiorgan failure
