The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the effectiveness of posterior pericardiotomy from the point of pericardial effusion related with supraventricular tachycardia and development of delayed posterior cardiac effusions. Materials and methods: This prospective randomized study was carried out in 200 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery in Gülhane Medical Academy Department of Cardiovascular Surgery between June 1996 and June 1997. Patients were divided into 2 groups; each group included 100 patients.
