Vincent et al. (2020) conducted a case report in Constrictive pericarditis after lung transplantation (n=1). Complete surgical pericardiectomy was evaluated on Resolution of volume overload and heart failure symptoms. Complete surgical pericardiectomy led to a rapid decrease in central venous pressure and resolution of heart failure symptoms in a patient with post-lung transplant constrictive pericarditis.
