- Abstract:
- A 14-year-old boy developed postpericardiotomy syndrome after an otherwise uneventful minimally invasive pectus excavatum repair. Dyspnoea, chest pain, and pericardial effusion progressed despite nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory treatment. The symptoms rapidly resolved with intravenous methylprednisolone, and pericardiocentesis was thus avoided. This is the first report of postpericardiotomy syndrome after the Nuss procedure treated with systemic steroids.
