Treatment of Coronary Spastic Angina, Particularly Medically Refractory Coronary Spasm
Coronary spasm plays an important role in the pathogenesis of variant angina as well as ischaemic heart diseases. Treatment with vasodilators such as long-acting calcium channel blockers and long-acting nitrates is generally effective in preventing coronary spasm; however, in some patients coronary spasm is refractory to standard therapy. Because of endothelial dysfunction, hyper-reactivity of ...
متن کاملAction of intracoronary nitroglycerin in refractory coronary artery spasm.
Coronary artery spasm usually responds to sublingual nitroglycerin. This report describes four patients with variant angina and one patient with rest angina who had coronary spasm that was refractory to sublingual or i.v. nitroglycerin. In four patients, spasm occurred spontaneous and in one patient after 0.05 mg of ergonovine. In each case, 25-100 micrograms of intracoronary nitroglycerin prom...

متن کاملRefractory Coronary Artery Spasm after Minimally Invasive Direct Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Postoperative coronary arterial spasm is a rare but potentially fatal complication. A 51-year-old male patient with a history of a reactive ergonovine stress test coronary angiogram developed refractory coronary artery spasm after undergoing minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass grafting of the left anterior descending coronary artery. The patient was successfully managed with rapid ...
متن کاملBrachytherapy: potential therapy for refractory coronary spasm.
OBJECTIVES We sought to demonstrate that brachytherapy reduces coronary spasm in refractory and highly symptomatic variant angina. BACKGROUND In some patients with variant angina due to extensive vasoconstriction, intensive drug therapy fails to sufficiently relieve symptoms. METHODS In 18 patients with frequent angina episodes despite triple anti-anginal therapy, coronary spasm was induced...
