The man, Anthony Creed, from Bawnlee Close in Tallaght, Dublin, had just left the hospital after being treated.
The 59 year-old had been complaining of chest pains before being struck by a Luas Tram near the junction at the Tallaght Hospital stop, Dublin County Coroner Court heard on Wednesday.
A gardaí investigation found everything was in order on the light-rail vehicle and that the vehicle was travelling below the speed limit of 40km/h at the time of the incident.
Following the hearing, the jury recorded an open verdict and recommended the introduction of taller fences at the tracks.
