Core Tip	Chest pain after heart transplantation usually present with noncardiac symptoms due to the denervated heart. Its differential diagnosis includes acute allograft dysfunction caused by acute myocardial infarction, myocarditis, hypertensive crisis, or infections. However, data from case reports on tacrolimus-induced achalasia after heart transplantation are limited. In this case involving a rare complication of tacrolimus-induced achalasia after heart transplantation, we successfully treated the patient with laparoscopic Heller myotomy. This case highlights that calcineurin inhibitor -induced achalasia should be considered in transplant patients with atypical chest pain. Esophagogram or manometry may be helpful for its diagnosis.
