What Is The Treatment For Constrictive Pericarditis?

Hi, my father is 60 years old and has constrictive pericarditis. It was a result from Dressler sindrome which started after he had a valve replacement. Now the pericardium has gotten thicker and they will have to operate next friday to remove it. Do you know if there are any experimental treatments with stem cells or anything other than cirgury. Thankyou very much.
