RESUMO
Ancient historical texts describe the presence of aortic pathology conditions, although the surgical treatment of thoracic aortic disease remained insurmountable until the 19th century. Surgical treatment of thoracic aortic disease then progressed along with advances in surgical technique, conduit production, cardiopulmonary bypass, and endovascular technology. Despite radical advances in aortic surgery, principles established by surgical pioneers of the 19th century hold firm to this day.

Pericardial constriction is extremely rare after lung transplantation. We present a case and review the potential contributing factors for pericardial constriction after lung transplantation. Treatment for this condition, irrespective of the cause, remains pericardiectomy.
