Case Report (n=1)
Highlights a rare case of severe postcardiac injury syndrome with ascending aorta hematoma and cerebral infarction after PCI, successfully managed with early steroid therapy and drainage.
Wang et al. (2020) conducted a case report in Postcardiac injury syndrome, peripheral hematoma of ascending aorta, and cerebral infarction after PCI (n=1). Prednisone and supportive care (drainage, ventilator support) was evaluated on Clinical recovery. A 40-year-old male patient successfully recovered from serious postcardiac injury syndrome, peripheral hematoma of the ascending aorta, and acute cerebral infarction after PCI following early diagnosis, drainage, and steroid therapy.
