OBJECTIVES: We report a case of a man with tamponade decompression syndrome following pericardial drainage. DATA SOURCES: ICU - Montreal Heart Institute. STUDY SELECTION: Case report. DATA EXTRACTION: Clinical and surgical records. DATA SYNTHESIS: None. CONCLUSIONS: Our case adds further concerns in supporting a patient with tamponade decompression syndrome, including mechanical circulatory support, due to the reversible nature of this condition.
