Abstract

Constrictive pericarditis is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication of pregnancy. This is a case report of irradiation-induced constrictive pericarditis requiring pericardiectomy during pregnancy. It is hoped that the authors' team approach to this particular problem can serve as a model for the management of similar medical and surgical complications of pregnancy.
