We report a rare case of a 50-year-old man with signs of right heart failure due to localized pericarditis that was secondary to implantation of an artificial pericardial patch 25 years prior following pericardectomy for constrictive pericarditis. The patient's clinical symptoms resolved completely in the 3 years following patch removal.

Key Words: Late pericarditis • Teflon patch • Constrictive pericarditis • Pericardectomy
