Write-up

Arrest cardiac; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable physician downloaded from the Medicines Agency (MA) EudraVigilance-WEB, regulatory authority number FR-AFSSAPS-PP20211057.
A 75-years-old female patient received bnt162b2 (COMIRNATY), intramuscularly on 07Jul2021 at age of 75 years old (Batch/Lot Number: Unknown) as DOSE NUMBER UNKNOWN, single for covid-19 immunisation.
Medical history included weaned tobacco, Hypertension arterial (HTA), Dyslipidemia, Type 2 diabetes since 2014, SCA ST- ischemic heart disease in the lower territory in 2011, bare stent on the right coronary artery, Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) known since 2017 with vascular claudication on exertion, Chronic renal insufficiency (CRI) on probable nephroangiosclerosis with baseline creatinemia at 158 micro-mol / L, Atypical Horton's disease with thoracic aortitis diagnosed in 2015, Repeated lower urinary tract infections, Diphtheria at 3 years, Total knee replacement Sep2020, Appendectomy in 1963, Umbilical hernia treatment in 1995, Cholecystectomy in 2000, ALE (acute lung edema) on transition to rapid atrial fibrillation, minimal ischemic part probable in Apr2021.
Concomitant medication(s) included apixaban (ELIQUIS); lansoprazole; atorvastatin; amlodipine; amiodarone; bisoprolol; ramipril; furosemide; potassium chloride (DIFFU K); paroxetine; colecalciferol (ZYMAD); bromazepam; fesoterodine fumarate (TOVIAZ); oxybutynin hydrochloride (DITROPAN), all taken for an unspecified indication, start and stop date were not reported.
Patient presenting with cardiac arrest due to intrastent coronary stenosis immediately after (5 min) on 07Jul2021 of a COVID 19 vaccine booster.
The same day, immediately after the injection (delay = 5 min), discomfort without prodrome then cardio-respiratory arrest quickly recovered after injection of adrenaline (1 mg) and the installation of a DSA (1 shock delivered initially)On 12Jul2021, the patient died of Multiple organ failure (multivisceral complications) and massive hemoptysis secondary to cardiogenic and vasoplegic shock.
Discussion/conclusion of our analysis: Chronological, semiological and bibliographical data are not very suggestive of the role of vaccination against covid19 in the occurrence of this intrastent thrombosis of the right coronary artery in this polyvascular context.
However, the very short time between the event and the injection (5 min) does not formally rule out the participation (coincidence?) Of the vaccination as a factor that may have favored this intra-stent thrombosis complicated by cardiac arrest.
(arterial hypotension?).
The patient underwent lab tests and procedures which included Electrocardiogram (ECG): no clear signs of ischemia, Troponinemia: 0.
13 ng / mL, Coronary angiography: intra-stent thrombosis of the right coronary artery balloon dilation then loading dose + heparin therapy + cangrelor + tirofiban, baseline creatinemia at 158 micro-mol / L.
The patient died on 12Jul2021.
An autopsy was not performed.
