Özet

We report a patient who experienced an anaphylactic reaction during coronary artery stenting. Immediately after a polymer-based paclitaxel-eluting stent (Taxus, Boston-Scientific) is deployed, the patient developed profound hypotension and an erythematous rash. The case complicated with coronary spasm and a new thrombus formation making a second stent implantation necessary. The reaction was successfully reversed with epinephrine, steroid, antihistaminic, a 9-hr infusion of dopamine, and intraaortic balloon counterpulsation. (c) 2005 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
