Case presentation
The patient was a 22-year-old woman who had developed ventricular
fibrillation due to coronary spasm, resulting in cardiopulmonary arrest.
She was resuscitated, and underwent ICD implantation. As her symptoms
appeared at specific times during her menstrual cycle, she was diagnosed
as having menstrual-associated coronary spasm, and started taking
estrogen/progesterone medication. An endometrial ablation was scheduled
for endometrial hyperplasia that was caused by the medicine. The surgery
was scheduled in consideration of the patient’s menstrual cycle, and
general anesthesia was selected as the method of anesthesia. The surgery
and perioperative management were uneventful, and her postoperative
course was favorable.
