Abstract

Abstract:

Coronary artery spasm defined as constriction of coronary artery segment either focal or diffuse, may be single or multiple. Which is reversible and cause myocardial ischemia by restricting coronary blood flow and may lead to thrombus formation. We present a case of coronary artery spasm that lead to CABG and was discovered after CABG.
