Repeated postpericardiotomy syndrome following a temporary transvenous pacemaker insertion, a permanent transvenous pacemaker insertion and surgical pericardiotomy.

Abstract
The postpericardiotomy syndrome is a well-known complication of opening and manipulating the pericardium. The occurrence of this syndrome following transvenous pacemaker insertion is very rare, and only 5 cases have been reported to date. The present patient repeated this syndrome 3 times in a short period following 3 different interventional techniques: a temporary transvenous pacemaker, a permanent transvenous pacemaker and surgical pericardiotomy.
