Left main and saphenous vein graft spasm: an unusual association

Int J Cardiol. 2005 Mar 10;99(1):133-4. doi: 10.1016/j.ijcard.2003.10.061.

Abstract

We present a case of left main spasm which was associated with spasm of a saphenous vein graft. This case emphasizes the importance of excluding an excessive vasoconstrictory response in patients treated with percutaneous coronary interventions.
