Abstract/OtherAbstract:
We present a patient with post-pericardial injury syndrome (PPIS) that occurred after implantation of a continuous-flow left ventricular assistance device. Evidence supporting the diagnosis includes radiographic, electrocardiographic, and serologic markers. Recognition of this syndrome is important in this patient population to appropriately treat the patient as well as prevent unnecessary testing and prolonged hospitalization.
