Why the study?
Post-cardiac injury syndrome following pacemaker insertion is infrequently reported, with isolated pleural effusion representing a rare clinical course.
Demonstrates that Post-Cardiac Injury Syndrome can present atypically as an isolated pleural effusion after pacemaker implantation, requiring prompt recognition and treatment with NSAIDs and colchicine.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Highlights atypical post-pacemaker pleural effusion as PCIS; single case leaves open need for prospective validation of NSAID-colchicine therapy.
