Abstract:
A rare case of subacute cardiac tamponade developed in a 71-year-old patient after a left lower lobe sleeve lobectomy for cancer. The patient was successfully treated by drainage of the pericardial effusion by a pigtail catheter. The exact cause is uncertain, but it appears to include an inflammatory component.
