Allergic Acute Coronary Artery Stent Thrombosis After the Administration of Sugammadex in a Patient Undergoing General Anesthesia: A Case Report

A A Pract. 2019 Aug 15;13(4):133-136. doi: 10.1213/XAA.0000000000001015.

Abstract

In addition to cutaneous, gastrointestinal, hemodynamic, and respiratory symptoms, allergic reactions can induce an acute coronary syndrome in normal or atheromatous coronary arteries and can cause coronary stent thrombosis. Here, we report a case of coronary stent thrombosis due to allergic acute coronary syndrome during anaphylaxis induced by sugammadex in a female patient undergoing general anesthesia. She was emergently treated with percutaneous transluminal coronary balloon angioplasty with catecholamine, vasodilator, and intraaortic balloon support. Knowledge of perioperative allergy-triggered acute coronary syndrome is crucial for prompt and appropriate treatment.
