High-dose aspirin may resolve PCIS symptoms after failed PCI; a single case leaves open the need for controlled studies.
Case Report (n=1)
This case highlights the importance of early recognition and treatment of Post-Cardiac Injury Syndrome (PCIS) with NSAIDs like aspirin following PCI, even without visible extravasation.
Victor et al. (2025) conducted a case report in Post-Cardiac Injury Syndrome (PCIS) (n=1). High-dose aspirin was evaluated on Symptom resolution. Treatment with high-dose aspirin led to symptom resolution by day five in a 69-year-old male who developed Post-Cardiac Injury Syndrome following an unsuccessful PCI.
