Recurrent Pleural Effusion

Post-cardiac injury syndrome (PCIS) is presumed to be an immune-mediated process. It affects the pericardium and, to a lesser extent, the epicardium, myocardium, and pleura. It has been rarely reported following pacemaker insertion with an estimated incidence of 1% to 2%. We present the case of a 62-year-old female who developed PCIS 8 weeks following pacemaker insertion. She presented with impending cardiac tamponade requiring pericardiocentesis; recurrent pleural effusions subsequently complicated her condition. The pleural effusion recurred despite trials of steroids, eventually requiring talc pleurodesis. This case highlights the need to consider PCIS as a possible etiology of recurrent pleural effusion following pacemaker insertion.
