Refractory constrictive pericarditis caused by an immune checkpoint inhibitor properly managed with infliximab: a case report

European Heart Journal: Case Reports, 2021
Background Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) can cause cardiac immune-related adverse events (irAEs), including pericarditis. Cardiovascular events related to pericardial irAE are less frequent, but fulminant forms can be fatal.
