ABSTRACT
We report a case of pericarditis following aorto coronary by-pass surgery which gradually developed into chronic constrictive pericarditis. The disease was a long time ignored because symptoms are not specific. In our case the clinical presentation looked like a cirrhosis especially that our patient developed an hepatitis after blood transfusion. In this occasion criteria of diagnosis are reminded. Hemodynamic investigation is still the best method of diagnosis and the only treatment is surgical and consists of pericardial decortication
