Heart injury may be a life-threatening condition with heterogeneous aetiology. Iatrogenic injury is one of causes of heart damage which may result in hemodynamic deterioration, including cardiac tamponade. This paper describes a case report of a cardiac tamponade with cardiogenic shock and cardiac arrest following percutaneous coronary intervention in a 77-year-old patient.
