Abstract
We report two cases of constrictive pericarditis after heart transplan tation. It is noteworthy that constriction developed after a healed in trathoracic infection in the two patients. Unlike previous reported ex periences, pericardiectomy was uneventful and successfully performed, although incomplete improvement was achieved in one case.
