摘要
Pyopericardium is a rare entity associated with a high mortality. We report a case of a 44-year old man presenting with simultaneous constrictive pericarditis and pyopericardium due to Corynebacterium diphtheriae. Pericardiectomy and epicardiectomy were performed without cardiopulmonary bypass, with an excellent result.
