The underlying pathophysiology and treatment of chronic pericardial chest pain remains unclear. We describe a clinical case of a 38-year-old patient with chronic chest pain in the context of Marfan syndrome, status post-valve-sparing aortic root repair, and recurrent pericarditis. The patient suffers from chronic pericardial pain secondary to recurrent pericarditis refractory to pharmacotherapy. A left-sided stellate ganglion block (SGB) was performed for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Postprocedure follow-up demonstrated significant analgesic benefit at 8 months after the procedure.
慢性心包胸痛的潜在病理生理学和治疗仍不清楚。我们描述了一例 38 岁马凡综合征患者的临床病例，该患者在主动脉根部保留瓣膜修复术后和复发性心包炎的背景下出现慢性胸痛。患者因复发性心包炎对药物治疗无效而继发慢性心包痛。为了诊断和治疗的目的，进行了左侧星状神经节阻滞（SGB）。术后 8 个月的随访显示，该操作具有显著的止痛效果。
