In a case of constrictive pericarditis post coronary artery bypass surgery we describe the diastolic compression of venous and arterial conduits and the timing of compression, as demonstrated during angiography, before and after pericardiectomy. In conclusion, angiographic demonstration of conduit compression is only suggestive of constriction, and consideration of the timing of compression during diastole should be a more specific sign.
