    Cardiac surgery can lead to delayed constrictive pericarditis, especially in patients experiencing postpericardiotomy syndrome. Early recognition of this rare complication is crucial for timely intervention.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Cardiac Surgery
    • Thoracic Surgery

    Background:

    • Constrictive pericarditis can occur after cardiac surgery.
    • Postpericardiotomy syndrome is a known complication following cardiac procedures.

    Observation:

    • This report details five patients who developed constriction secondary to pericarditis or membrane formation after cardiac surgery.
    • Four out of five patients experienced postpericardiotomy syndrome post-procedure.

    Findings:

    • Constriction manifested between ten weeks and nearly six years after the initial cardiac operation.
    • Delayed onset of constriction is a significant concern in this patient cohort.

    Implications:

    • Clinicians must maintain a high index of suspicion for delayed constrictive pericarditis in patients with a history of postpericardiotomy syndrome.
