Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Pacemaker implantation is a usual technique in cardiology which may be followed by acute pleural effusion and delayed unusual pericarditis. CASE REPORT: We reported the case of a 67 year-old man hospitalized for faintness. Rhythmical auricular disease was diagnosed and pacemaker was implanted without immediate complication. Though pericarditis with tamponade at the day 21 will require emergency pericardiotomy surgery. A recurrent pericarditis at day 45 was treated with anti-inflammatory drugs without relapse at the end of the treatment. DISCUSSION: Repeated delayed pericarditis after pacemaker surgery may be compared to the Dressler syndrome which occurs after myocardial infarction.Entities:
