A case of pericarditis in a 52-year old patient following aorto-coronary shunt surgery is reported which gradually developed into chronic constrictive pericarditis. In this context, the diagnostic criteria of chronic constrictive pericarditis are recalled. The clinical criteria show little specificity; Doppler ultrasound provides good diagnostic information; CT scans and nuclear magnetic imaging can confirm the diagnostic. The post-heart surgery etiology has increased in recent years. The only real treatment is surgical and consists of pericardial decortication.
