Constrictive pericarditis after heart transplantation: report of two cases

J Roca et al. J Heart Lung Transplant. 1995 Sep-Oct.

Abstract

We report two cases of constrictive pericarditis after heart transplantation. It is noteworthy that constriction developed after a healed intrathoracic infection in the two patients. Unlike previous reported experiences, pericardiectomy was uneventful and successfully performed, although incomplete improvement was achieved in one case.
