Key result
SARS-CoV-2 vaccination is linked to rare but severe constrictive pericarditis requiring pericardiectomy.
Why the study?
Constrictive pericarditis after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination is likely very rare and characterized by a relatively serious clinical manifestation.
Case Report (n=13)
Constrictive pericarditis can rarely occur as a late complication of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination-associated perimyocarditis and can be effectively treated with pericardiectomy.
Should not alter vaccination practice; leaves open whether constrictive pericarditis is causally linked or requires systematic surveillance.
Konstriktvna perikarditda po okovan proti SARS-CoV-2 je pravdepodobne vemi zriedkav a vyznauje sa pomerne zvanou klinickou manifestciou. Opisujeme prpad 42-ronho pacienta, bez zvanho predchorobia, ktor prekonal perimyokarditdu po druhom okovan proti covidu-19. T bola lieen nesteroidnmi antiflogistikami. Po polroku od epizdy perimyokarditdy sa u pacienta manifestovali znaky a prznaky srdcovho zlyhvania. Bolo vysloven podozrenie na konstriktvnu perikarditdu. Diagnzu sme potvrdili echokardiograficky, kde boli typick prejavy konstrikcie a CT srdca s nlezom zhrubnutho perikardu s kalcifiktmi. U pacienta bola indikovan perikardiektmia s parcilnou resekciou perikardu pre loklne vrazn zrasty perikardu a epikardu, ktor brnili totlnej perikardiektmii. Vkon mal dobr hemodynamick aj klinick vsledok.

Šimovičová et al. (2025) conducted a case report in Constrictive pericarditis after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination (n=13). SARS-CoV-2 vaccination was evaluated on Development of constrictive pericarditis. Constrictive pericarditis is a rare but severe complication following SARS-CoV-2 vaccination that typically manifests as heart failure and may require pericardiectomy.
