OBJECTIVES We investigated the efficacy of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with coronary spastic angina (CSA) and severe organic stenosis. BACKGROUND Coronary spasm occurs at the site of organic stenosis in most patients with CSA and severe stenosis, whereas multivessel spasm occurs frequently in those with normal coronary arteries. The incidence of multivessel spasm and ...

1254 May 2014 H micro-ultrasound is a new, preclinical technology that utilizes higher frequencies compared to conventional ultrasound. During a feasibility trial using high-frequency micro-ultrasound for vascular access in children, radial artery spasm in an 8-month-old male child was uniquely documented with a 50-MHz probe. The intraluminal diameter before attempted cannulation was 2.1 mm (fi...

A 32-year-old man presented with left hemifacial spasm. Neurophysiological findings revealed an absent ipsilateral R1 on blink reflex. An MRI showed a dolichoectatic left vertebral artery impinging on the root exit zone of the left facial nerve. Botulinum toxin infections relieved the manifestations of hemifacial spasm. This case demonstrates that MRI/MRA is an essential part of the work-up for...

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...

Arterial spasm in an extremity may be produced in many ways. That localised trauma is responsible for widespread spasm has been shown experimentally by Barnes and Trueta (1942) and demonstrated clinically by Cohen (1944). Spasm caused by stretching a vessel has been observed at operation many times, but no reference has been discovered to experimental stretch of the entire vascular tree of a li...

Coronary artery spasm usuafly reponds 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 spontaneously and in one patient after 0.05 mg of ergonovine. In each case, 25-100 ,ug of intracoronary nitroglycerin promptly (...

Ginger appears to have been used as a spice and medicine from early times by the Chinese Indians. It has studied for its antibacterian, antifungal, pain-relieving anti-ulcer, antitumor other properties). The rhizome of long in Ayurvedic traditional treat wide range ailments including gastrointestinal disorders, mainly nausea vomiting associated with motion sickness. recommended herbalists use c...

Neurovascular compression syndrome is generally caused by vascular at the root entry or exit zone of corresponding cranial nerve. Trigeminal neuralgia most frequent syndrome, followed hemifacial spasm. Despite ongoing debate in literature, pulsatile tinnitus also known to be a neurovascular resulting from vestibulocochlear Combined manifestations symptoms are very rare. We report case with simu...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE While it has been widely reported that the vasospasm following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is prevented/reversed by endothelin (ET) receptor antagonists selective for the ET(A) receptor and by nonselective ET receptor antagonists, ie, antagonists of both the ET(A) and ET(B) receptors, there are no reports on the possible attenuation of the spasm by selective ET(B) recep...
