Abstract

Coronary artery vasospasm during non-coronary artery surgeries is an extremely rare but potentially life-threatening event.

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.
