Abstract

Coronary artery disease is a major type of heart disease, and coronary angiography has been widely utilized as a diagnostic method. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has become an important approach for restoring coronary perfusion. The vasovagal reflex is a common and potentially life-threatening acute complication associated with coronary interventions, which can lead to cardiac arrest in severe cases. This case report describes a patient with coronary heart disease who experienced vasovagal reflex-induced shock during the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) period following the procedure.
