Durable Polymer Drug Eluting Stent-Induced Kounis Syndrome and Eosinophilia Requiring Long-term Immunosuppression.
- 2022
There are no reports of systemic eosinophilic reactions to durable polymer coated drug eluting stents (DP-DES) and a consensus statement indicates that these devices should be considered in nickel allergy. We present a case of in-stent thrombosis, eosinophilia, and rash consistent with allergic myocardial infarction, a presentation of Kounis syndrome, in the context of metal allergy to DP-DES requiring long-term immunosuppression.
