ABSTRACT
Effusive constrictive pericarditis after open heart surgery is a rare complication occuring in 0.2% to 0.3%. Presenting symptoms after surgery are associated with right heart failure and an elevated jugular venous pressure is most common abnormal physical sign. Predisposing factors include hemorrhage, perioperative pericardial injury or inflammation, presence of postpericardiotomy syndrome and open pericardium. Early diagnosis is important because(1) if it is unrecognized, the patient may deteriorate clinically, and(2) if surgery is delayed, the patient may have an increased risk of operative death. Hereby we report a case of effusive constrictive pericarditis after ventricular septal defect repair, in which constriction physiology was suggested by Doppler echocardiography after pericardiostomy.
