ABSTRACT
We report a case of localised pericardial constriction leading to right ventricular outflow tract obstruction. Localised pericardial constriction is rare, but the diagnosis should be considered in patients who present with recurrent pericardial constriction following previous partial pericardiectomy. Close attention to physical findings may enable the diagnosis to be made prior to cardiac catheterisation.
