We report an episode of coronary spasm due to vincristine, a vinca alkaloid, in a 49-year-old man treated for a diffuse undifferentiated carcinoma. The patient suffered recurrent episodes of typical chest pain with ST-elevation in the inferior area. Coronary spasm was confirmed by an angiogram, which showed normal coronary arteries. No recurrence occurred with the medical management. Coronary spasm induced by vincristine is a newly described facet of chemotherapy-related cardiotoxicity.Chemotherapy 2017;62:169-171 (Source: Chemotherapy)
