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. © 2005 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
