Abstract
Delayed-onset pericardial effusion following coronary artery bypass grafts can give rise to significant morbidity in its presentation and in its management by traditional surgical techniques. A video-assisted thoracoscopic technique to create a pericardial window, with the advantage of a minimally invasive approach combined with excellent visualization in such a patient is described.
