Intraoperative Coronary Artery Vasospasm Mimicking Acute Coronary Stent Thrombosis: A Case Report

Abstract

Coronary artery vasospasm during non-coronary artery surgeries is an extremely rare but potentially life-threatening event. Diagnosing coronary artery vasospasm during surgery is particularly challenging, and identifying the underlying etiology is even more challenging. Herein, we present a case of coronary artery vasospasm that occurred during cardiac tumor resection in a patient who had recently undergone percutaneous coronary intervention for acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction.
