Percutaneous coronary intervention became a common management of ischaemic heart disease. However with the increasing number of operations the probability of occurrence of some rare procedure complications increases as well. Our case report warns about possible occurrence of pericardial tamponade after uncomplicated coronary intervention, probably based on combined antiplatelet and anticoagulant treatment in the patient with no previous pericardial affection before the procedure.

Keywords: Key words: hemopericardium, heparin, percutaneous coronary intervention.
