Abstract:
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.

Antiasthma Drugs: Mast Cell Stabilizers and Anti-IgE Drugs
Mast cell stabilizers, such as cromolyn (also known as sodium cromoglycate) and nedocromil (Tilade), are effective drugs in asthma management. These stabilizers hinder histamine release by skillfully obstructing the activation of mast cells and other cellular entities. Notably, they navigate this task without...
