Late presentation of constrictive pericarditis after limited epicardial ablation for inappropriate sinus tachycardia
Open accessAbstract
The number of radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFA) procedures performed in the epicardial space is increasing.1 Major acute complications (primarily pericardial bleeding) and delayed complications have been reported in 5% and 2% of cases, respectively.2–4 To the best of our knowledge, a single case of constrictive pericarditis after multiple epicardial ablations for ventricular tachycardia has been reported.5 We describe a late presentation of constrictive pericarditis that occurred after a single percutaneous epicardial procedure with limited ablation for inappropriate sinus tachycardia.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
