Lets Meet the Patient
11 yo previously healthy male who initially presentedwith fever of unknown origin and non-tender rash
on his hands and feet Echocardiogram revealed endocarditis of his mitralvalve with a mobile vegetation
Subsequently went to the OR for removal of infectedvalve and implantation of 25 mm St Judes valve inthe mitral position
PCR positive for hemophilus paraphrophiilus Discharged home on POD# 13 on IV Rocephin and
anti-coagulation with Coumadin

About 6 weeks post-operatively, patient presented incardiology clinic for follow-up
Had complaints of cough, decreased appetite, and
increased fatigue for the past few days Noted in clinic to be tachycardic to the 110s-120s
No fevers or chest pain

Management & Hospital Course
Patient was admitted to the CICU The next morning, he was taken to the cath lab for
pericardiocentesis About 100 ml of bloody fluid was drained & sent
down to the laboratory for further evaluation andtesting
A pericardial drain was left in place for

Post-Pericardiotomy Syndrome
An inflammatory process affecting the pleuraland pericardial space in 10-40% of patients aftersurgical trauma involving the pleura and/orpericardium
Also associated with other kinds of interventions
that may lead to pericardial bleeding, such aspacemaker implantation, percutaneous coronaryinterventions, and radiofrequency ablations

Pathogenesis Historical Perspectives
First described by Janton in 1952 and Soloff in 1953after mitral commissurotomy
Was thought to be reactivation of rheumatic fever,
involving the mitral valve In 1958, Ito and colleagues noted the same process,
following surgical repair for congenital heart disease Because the common feature of these patients was
incision of the pericardium, they suggested the
name postpericardiotomy syndrome In the 1960s, several investigators noted that
elevated autoantibodies to the heart seemed to becorrelated with the manifestation of the syndrome

Pathogenesis Contemporary Perspectives
Pathogenesis is still not well-understood Presumed to be an immune-mediated response after
damage to the pericardium or pleura, especially with
bleeding into the pericardial sac Supported by the fact that there is usually a latent period ofseveral weeks after initial insult (surgery) before symptomsappear
Also appears to respond to anti-inflammatory drugs However, PPS can also occur in immunosuppressed
transplanted patients Viral infections may play a causative or provocative role
There are seasonal variations in the syndrome, similar toseasonal variations in viral prevalence
The role of antiheart antibodies remains controversial

Clinical Manifestations
80% occur in the first month
Pleuritic chest pain (56%)
Fever (50%)
Elevation of inflammatory markers (>70%)
Pericardial or pleural friction rub (1/3)
Pericardial or pleural effusion (~90%) Other manifestations: dyspnea, non-productive
cough, fatigue, myalgia/arthralgia

Evaluation & Diagnosis
No standardized guidelines for diagnosis, whichprobably leads to underestimation
The largest clinical trials use the following criteria (2of the 5 are required to make the clinical diagnosis):
Fever beyond the first post-operative week with noevidence of infection
Pleuritic chest pain Pleural or pericardial friction rub
Pleural effusion
New or worsening pericardial effusion

Laboratory studies show non-specific markers ofincreased inflammation CBC may show leukocytosis with predominance of
neutrophils ESR/CRP may be elevated
Blood and fluid cultures important in ruling outbacterial infection as cause rather than post-pericardiotomy syndrome
CXR may show cardiomegaly and/or evidence of
pleural effusions Echocardiography good for evaluating for thepresence of pericardial effusion

Treatment
Treatment is mostly aimed at patient comfort, as the illness isusually self-limited
Thoracentesis or pericardiocentesis not usually required,unless fluid is causing hemodynamic compromise, severe
symptoms, or is refractory to medical treatment Medical treatment is empiric, and involves the use of anti-inflammatory agents, such as NSAIDs or corticosteroids
Aspirin, at anti-inflammatory doses, usually used first line If ASA is contraindicated, can used ibuprofen Corticosteroids, at low-medium doses, may be useful in
refractory cases or if the patient is on anti-coagulant therapy Colchicine is emerging as an adjunct therapy as well as in
prevention of PPS

Prognosis
Generally good prognosis, comparable to orbetter than that for idiopathic pericarditis

Conclusion
Post-pericardiotomy syndrome is a relativelycommon complication of heart surgery
Occurs after pericardial or pleural incision, withbleeding into the pericardial space
Pathogenesis is not well understood but is thoughtto be an immune mediated process
Patients present with chest pain, fever, friction rub,and evidence of pericardial or pleural effusions May treat empirically with anti-inflammatory
agents, but illness is self-limited with generally goodprognosis
