Abstract

Post-Cardiac Injury Syndrome (PCIS) is term for inflammatory pericardial conditions including postmyocardial infarction pericarditis (Dressler's syndrome), Postpericardiotomy Syndrome (PPS), and postā€traumatic pericarditis. A 76 yr old lady was admitted with ACS. Her ECG showed ST T changes in anterior leads. She was subjected for coronary angiogram which revealed a complex tight proximal LAD lesion with mild calcification and chronic total occlusion of RCA. Pericardial effusion immediate after complex PCI may raise suspicion of coronary rupture however fever, raised inflammatory markers will lead to diagnose this relatively benign totally treatable condition.
