    Abstract:
    A patient with a history of Hodgkin's lymphoma presented with recurrent left pleural effusions and dyspnea on exertion 27 years after radiation therapy. Further evaluation disclosed suspected radiation-induced constrictive pericarditis, aortic stenosis and regurgitation, and severe coronary artery disease. He underwent successful 3-vessel coronary artery bypass grafting, aortic valve replacement, and pericardiectomy.
