Rituximab has improved the treatment of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas. While it is generally well tolerated, serious adverse effects including infusion reactions with hemodynamic compromise and cardiac arrhythmias or ischemia are possible. We report a case of coronary vasospasm occurring during a rituximab infusion in a patient with minimal tumour burden and who had no cardiac risk factors. This case highlights that determination of the cause of ischemia is important and may identify some patients who can be successfully rechallenged.
利妥昔单抗改善了B细胞非霍奇金淋巴瘤的治疗。虽然它通常耐受性良好,但仍可能出现严重不良反应,包括伴有血流动力学障碍、心律失常或缺血的输注反应。我们报告了1例肿瘤负荷极小且无心脏危险因素的患者在利妥昔单抗输注期间发生冠状动脉痉挛的病例。该病例强调,确定缺血原因很重要,且可能识别出一些能够成功再次接受治疗的患者。
