Abstract

Coronary artery spasm occurred during thoracotomy under cervical epidural anesthesia in a 60‐year‐old male patient who had no prior history of myocardial ischemia. It is most likely that the administration of methoxamine induced the spasm. Hypotension and venodilatation induced by the epidural anesthesia and increased vagal tone might also contribute to the spasm.
