Abstract
Pericardial effusion and coronary dissection are well known complications of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). We report a rare case of sub-epicardial haematoma after PTCA, leading to local compression and cardiogenic shock. We discuss the successful management of this problem.Entities:
