Key result
Primary PCI rarely triggers postcardiac injury syndrome presenting as a right-sided hemorrhagic pleural effusion.
Why the study?
Postcardiac injury syndrome most commonly occurs after cardiac surgeries, but rare cases of postcardiac injury syndrome and pleural effusion can occur after percutaneous coronary intervention.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights the rare occurrence of postcardiac injury syndrome presenting as a hemorrhagic pleural effusion following primary PCI, emphasizing the need to consider this diagnosis for unexplained effusions post-procedure.

Prompts consideration of PCIS in post-PCI pleural effusions; leaves open true incidence and management.
Krishnamurthy et al. (2025) conducted a case report in Postcardiac injury syndrome (PCIS) (n=1). Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was evaluated on Right-sided pleural effusion (PCIS). Primary percutaneous coronary intervention can rarely trigger postcardiac injury syndrome presenting as a right-sided hemorrhagic pleural effusion.
