Abstract

Pericardial agenesis is a rare congenital defect that is generally asymptomatic. We describe a case of pericardial agenesis that was incidentally discovered through the development of hemorrhagic pleural effusion as a complication during percutaneous coronary intervention. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

Keywords: coronary perforation; percutaneous coronary intervention; pericardial agenesis; pericardial effusion; pleural effusion.
