This case report describes a previously unreported complication of stent implantation in association with the use of adjuvant platelet IIb/IIIa receptor inhibitor administration. Following stent implantation, the patient developed cardiac tamponade, treated successfully with percutaneous pericardiocentesis and autologous platelet administration.
