Abstract:

Pericardial decompression syndrome is a life-threatening condition. Pericardial effusion in the setting of rheumatic heart disease is rarely associated with cardiac tamponade. We hereby present a case of rheumatic heart disease with severe mitral stenosis and severe aortic regurgitation who had cardiac tamponade and required emergency pericardiocentesis. But thereafter, he developed acute pulmonary oedema and refractory hypotension due to pericardial decompression. Pericardial decompression can be prevented by the removal of fluid in aliquots.
