Transient effusive constrictive pericarditis

Öz

Constrictive pericarditis is a rare complication which occurs after coronary bypass grafting operation. Classic constrictive pericarditis after cardiac operation coronary bypass grafting operation is considered to be progressive and irreversible, for which definitive therapy is a pericardiectomy. Herein, we reported a transient form of constrictive pericarditis that resolves without surgical intervention.

Koroner bypass greft cerrahisi sonrası konstriktif perikardit gelişmesi nadir bir komplikasyondur. Kardiyak cerrahi koroner bypass greft cerrahisi sonrası gelişen klasik konstriktif perikardit ilerleyici ve geri dönüşümsüz seyirlidir ve kesin tedavisi perikardiyektomidir. Bu yazıda cerrahi müdahele olmaksızın düzelen konstriktif perikarditin geçici formunu sunmaktayız.
