title: Cardiac tamponade after a systemic-pulmonary shunt complicated by serous leakage.
abstract: A newborn baby with complex congenital heart disease had severe persistent pericardial effusion after a systemic-pulmonary shunt. Pericardiocentesis and pericardiotomy could not stop pericardial leakage. At reoperation, topical application of a fibrin glue resulted in resolution of the leak and avoided replacement of the graft.
