Moreover, it has never been reported that PCIS presenting as mediastinitis occurs after an AMI. Our case is the first case of PCIS presenting as acute mediastinitis.[synapse.koreamed.org]
In modern practice, however, most cases of mediastinitis are complications of cardiovascular or thoracic surgicalprocedures. 11 - 13) The radiologic hallmark of non-postoperative mediastinitis is mediastinal widening on chest X-ray.[synapse.koreamed.org]
Therefore, early identification of these patients could allow medical treatment and might help avoid the need for a surgicalprocedure. Cardiologists should remember that this uncommon syndrome can occur after routine endovascular procedures.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prophylactic use of corticosteroids before cardiac surgery has not been effective in preventing PCIS. The widespread use of reperfusion therapy and cardiac medications with anti-inflammatory properties may have reduced the incidence of PCIS.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The postoperative use of colchicine is also a reasonable option for preventing PCIS in patients who have undergone cardiac surgery. Summary Pleural effusions because of pericardial diseases remain a clinical diagnosis.[ingentaconnect.com]
