title: Intrapericardial synthetic glue injection--a last resort effort to salvage recurrent cardiac tamponade secondary to coronary microleak post PCI.
abstract: We report a case of cardiac tamponade caused by a coronary microleak from an unapparent site that was successfully managed by sealing of the pericardial space with intrapericardial injection of sterile synthetic glue which, to the best of our knowledge, is the first report of its kind for post-PCI coronary leaks.
