Coronary artery spasm after coronary artery bypass grafting

M Caputo et al. Eur J Cardiothorac Surg. 1999 Apr.

Abstract

We report a case of a 62-year-old man with severe manifestations of postoperative coronary artery spasm following effective coronary artery bypass grafting. The coronary artery spasm was manifested by ST segment elevation, hypotension and wall motion abnormalities on echocardiography. Urgent angiography confirmed the diagnosis and intracoronary infusion of nitroglycerine and verapamil relieved the coronary spasm.
