Staphylococcal pericarditis following percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty

A Sankari et al. Catheter Cardiovasc Interv. 2000 May.

Abstract

Infectious complications occurring after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty are uncommon. We are reporting a case of bacterial pericarditis developing 1 week after coronary angioplasty and stent implantation. Treatment with appropriate antibiotics and drainage of the infected pericardial effusion was followed by a protracted hospital course and eventual control of infection and discharge of the patient.
