Cardiac tampoande following percutaneous coronary intervention of unknown etiology

Cardiac tamponade is a life-threatening condition characterized by the accumulation of fluid, blood, pus, clots, or even gas within the pericardium which compromise of cardiac function. It can occur due to various causes such as inflammation, trauma, heart rupture, aortic dissection. Recently it has become increasingly common as a complication of complex cardiac interventions usually caused by epicardial artery rupture. In this case, we present a patient who developed delayed cardiac tamponade following percutaneous coronary intervention, with no apparent cause identified despite extensive investigation using imaging methods. After antiplatelet therapy de-escalation pericardial bleeding in ceased and patient had survived with full recovery.
