Abstract
Aims: To describe nursing practices for financial toxicity management based on nurses' perceptions. Materials & methods: A survey was conducted with 615 oncology nurses in Japan, focusing on nurses' perspectives on the importance of financial toxicity, nursing practices to manage financial toxicity and factors inhibiting its management. Results: A total of 521 participated, of whom 266 respondents (51.1%) considered nurses' role important, and they engaged in a significantly higher proportion of nursing practices. Participants with greater perceptions of their role included certified or specialized nurses and nurses responsible for outpatient care. Conclusion: Interventions leveraging the expertise of certified or specialized nurses and nurses involved in outpatient care could help to spread proactive nurse practices addressing financial toxicity.

Abstract
A 51-year-old woman with acute myocardial infarction underwent emergency coronary angiography. The patient had an episode of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, and underwent splenectomy at the age of 36. On admission, platelet count in the peripheral blood was 43.2x10(4)/microl. During the initial emergency left coronary angiography, a thrombus was detected in the left main trunk. The thrombus was drawn back to the orifice of the left coronary artery, and finally disappeared into the aorta by injecting contrast media. After the thrombus disappeared, no stenotic lesion was detected in the left coronary artery. One month later, when acetylcholine-provocation coronary angiography was performed, marked vasospasm was detected in the left coronary arteries. Coronary thrombosis in the patient might have been induced by a coronary spasm, and the presence of thrombocytosis might also have affected the development of a coronary thrombus. However, it was spontaneously drawn back to the aorta by back flow of contrast media, which was injected via the entrance of the left coronary artery. A case of acute myocardial infarction whose thrombus occluded the left main coronary artery and was removed at first injection of contrast media is presented.
