초록
We report a 27-year-old woman who presented with orthopnea, which occurred after undergoing an open-heart surgery, atrial septal defect closure with mitral valve cleft repair. Pericardiocentesis was successfully performed; however, she subsequently developed circulatory collapse, necessitating the application of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Pericardial decompression syndrome is a potentially fatal complication, and clinicians should be aware of this risk when performing pericardiocentesis.
