Constrictive pericarditis (CP) is an infrequent complication following heart transplantation (HTx) and arises from diverse postoperative occurrences, including mediastinitis, pericardial effusion, or allograft rejection. Indeed, this rare clinical entity can be misdiagnosed as a rejection episode or restrictive cardiomyopathy. In this report, we present the case of a 43-year-old male who underwent HTx 1.5 years prior and was subsequently admitted to our center due to the gradual onset of symptoms indicative of right congestive heart failure, with an initial diagnosis of constrictive pericarditis.
缩窄性心包炎（CP）是心脏移植（HTx）后一种罕见的并发症，由多种术后情况引起，包括纵隔炎、心包积液或移植排斥反应。事实上，这种罕见的临床病症可能被误诊为排斥反应或限制性心肌病。在本报告中，我们介绍了一例43岁男性患者的病例，该患者在1.5年前接受了心脏移植，随后因逐渐出现提示右心充血性心力衰竭的症状而入住我们中心，初步诊断为缩窄性心包炎。
