Kounis syndrome not induced but prevented by the implantation of a drug-eluting stent: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Kounis syndrome is an allergy-associated acute coronary syndrome, which develops secondary to mast cell activation in coronary arteries due to hypersensitivity or anaphylactoid reaction (1). The triggering factors may be various drugs, food, environmental exposure, and intracoronary stents (2–4). In this case report, an extraordinary case of Kounis syndrome (acute myocardial infarction with concomitant allergic reaction to paracetamol/propyphenazone) has been presented.
