Kounis Syndrome Leading to Cardiac Arrest After Iodinated Contrast Exposure

Immune-mediated coronary spasm, called Kounis syndrome (KS), is not rare but is underdiagnosed. In this report, we present a case of KS induced by iodinated contrast resulting in cardiac arrest, requiring temporary mechanical circulatory support. We show angiographic evidence of KS and outline commo...

Sumario:Immune-mediated coronary spasm, called Kounis syndrome (KS), is not rare but is underdiagnosed. In this report, we present a case of KS induced by iodinated contrast resulting in cardiac arrest, requiring temporary mechanical circulatory support. We show angiographic evidence of KS and outline commonly associated clinical features that may predict KS. (Level of Difficulty: Beginner.)
