Abstrakt:	Classical constrictive pericarditis (CP) is an unusual and rare complication after coronary artery bypass grafting. It can be transient, progressive or fixed form of cardiac constriction. However recently recognized transient variant of constrictive pericarditis can be managed with medical therapy, though other progressive and irreversible forms may require pericardiectomy. We describe a 65-year-old male patient who developed a classical but a very early transient CP, just within two weeks as a result of post cardiac injury syndrome after coronary bypass surgery. The patient had a complete recovery following medical treatment.
