Constrictive pericarditis, a rare cardiac surgery complication, can manifest years later. This case highlights diagnostic findings for this serious condition, emphasizing timely recognition and management.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Cardiac Surgery
  • Pericardial Diseases

Background:

  • Constrictive pericarditis is an uncommon complication following cardiac surgery.
  • Early diagnosis and management are crucial for patient outcomes.

Observation:

  • A young woman presented with dyspnea and ascites three years post-atrial septal defect repair.
  • Diagnostic imaging included chest X-ray, CT scan, and Doppler echocardiography.

Findings:

  • Imaging revealed characteristic signs of constrictive pericarditis.
  • The case underscores the delayed presentation of this condition.

Implications:

  • This case emphasizes the importance of considering constrictive pericarditis in post-cardiac surgery patients with relevant symptoms.
