Özet
Constrictive pericarditis is quite rare complication of messenger ribonucleic acid-based severe acute respiratory syndrome-Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccine. It is a severe clinical picture with clinical symptoms of right ventricular failure. Initial physical examination, laboratory work-up, and chest X-ray may yield non-specific findings. Echocardiography, computed tomography, and cardiac catheterization are other diagnostic tools. Surgery with pericardiectomy is the definitive treatment option. Herein, we report a case of pericardiectomy after constrictive pericarditis associated with the second dose of BNT162b2 vaccine.
