Objectives: Preoperative antibiotics have become a part of the standard procedure in decreasing the risk of surgical site infections preoperatively, but they do not come without risks. We describe the case of a 67-year-old male who received intravenous vancomycin prior to an elective procedure and subsequently experienced cardiovascular collapse and NSTEMI. Management of his emergent condition at our facility is discussed along with his complications and recovery. We discuss the possible reactions that could have occurred and their differentiation.
