Constrictive pericarditis following cardiac transplantation: a report of two cases and a literature review

Vincent Tchana-Sato et al. Acta Cardiol. 2023 Sep.

Abstract

The data on constrictive pericarditis following heart transplantation are scarce. Herein, the authors present 2 patients who developed a constrictive pericarditis 19, and 55 months after heart transplantation. They underwent several diagnostic procedures and successfully recovered after a radical pericardiectomy. In addition, the authors review the literature and report the incidence, aetiology, diagnostic features, and management of this rare and challenging condition.

Keywords: Constrictive pericarditis; heart transplant recipients; heart transplantation; pericarditis.
