Results of coronary artery spasm treatment after cardiac surgery procedures
Background/Introduction Postoperative coronary artery spasm (CAS) is an infrequent life-threatening event after cardiac surgery. We have suggested to cross clamp aorta for short time and to inject nitrates into the aortic root in case of suspicion of CAS. It enable us to deliver nitrates especially into coronary arteries during operation (patent RU 2552890). Another method is conventional coron...

from a creatine kinase-based enzyme rise to a troponin-based rise. Use of beta-blockers in patients with left ventricular (LV) impairment is also strongly supported by numerous controlled trials, and these patients should certainly receive beta-blockers post-CABG.

متن کاملMultivessel coronary artery spasm.
A 60-year-old patient with variant angina was shown to have myocardial ischemia in two different regions supplied by separate major coronary arteries. Neither artery had significant coronary atherosclerotic obstruction. Ventricular fibrillation was noted during ST-segment elevation in anteroseptal leads. The attacks of pain and arrhythmias disappeared during nifedipine therapy.
