Constrictive pericarditis after heart transplantation: report of two cases
1Department of Cardiology, Hospital Princeps d'Espanya, University of Barcelona, Spain.
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.
