Case report: life-threatening coronary artery spasm under transversus abdominis plane block in combination with general anesthesia

Abstract

Background

Many cases of coronary artery spasm (CAS) during general plus epidural anesthesia have been reported. But transversus abdominis plane(TAP) block in combination with general anesthesia has not been reported to be a cause of CAS, let alone a life-threatening CAS.

Case presentation

In this case report, we present a case of a patient with CAS accompanied by ventricular fibrillation under general anesthesia with TAP block.

Conclusion

Coronary artery spasm, even life-threatening CAS, may occur during TAP block in combination with general anesthesia.
