Raises possibility of PCIS after PTCA without structural damage in predisposed patients; hypothesis-generating case report requiring confirmation.
Case Report (n=1)
This case suggests that mild cardiac injury from PTCA, without demonstrated structural damage, may precipitate post-cardiac injury syndrome in predisposed individuals.
Velander et al. (1993) conducted a case report in Post-cardiac injury syndrome (PCIS) (n=1). Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) was evaluated on Recurrence of post-cardiac injury syndrome (PCIS). Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty precipitated post-cardiac injury syndrome in a predisposed 57-year-old man without demonstrated structural damage to the pericardium or myocardium.
