Catheter-induced spasm of the left main coronary artery is rare during catheterization. We present several cases in which the occurrence of both ostial left main and right coronary spasm suggests that multiple sites of spasm may be a clue to this important diagnosis.

Abstract Background Malformation of cortical development (MCD) is a common cause intractable epilepsy in children. In this study, the effectiveness frontal lobe (FLE) surgery children with due to MCD was assessed and its prognostic factors were studied. Methods Seventy-six patients FLE who received between January 2016 March 2018 Peking University First Hospital recruited study. All resected br...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to elucidate the correlation between angiographic coronary vasomotor responses to intracoronary acetylcholine (ACh) injection, clinical features, and long-term prognosis in patients with vasospastic angina (VSA). METHODS AND RESULTS This is a retrospective, observational, single-center study of 1877 consecutive patients who underwent ACh-provocation test b...

BACKGROUND The prevalence, clinical features, and long-term outcome of patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE ACS) associated with coronary spasm are not fully investigated. METHODS AND RESULTS This observational multicenter study enrolled 1601 consecutive patients with suspected NSTE-ACS who underwent cardiac catheterization between January 2001 and December 201...

In this study we attempted to determine if the cold pressor test, a known sympathetic reflexogenic stimulus, could precipitate coronary artery spasm. Thirty-five patients undergoing coronary arteriography for evaluation of chest pain syndromes were given the cold pressor test. During 1 minute of cold pressor stimulation, aortic systolic pressure increased 18.1 ± 9.7 mm Hg (mean ± SD) and heart ...

Variant angina is a form of angina pectoris that shows transient ST-segment elevation on electrocardiogram during an attack of chest pain. Ischemic episodes of variant angina show circadian variation and often occur at rest from midnight to early morning. Ischemic episodes also occur during mild exercise in the early morning. However, they are not usually induced by strenuous exercise in the af...

Catheter placement for blood brain-barrier disruption and enhanced chemotherapy delivery can sometimes trigger arterial spasm of moderate-to-severe degree. A slow infusion of a small quantity of intraarterially administered mannitol (10 mL of 25% mannitol) was evaluated as a means to obtain a rapid resolution of catheter placement-induced spasm. We prospectively report 12 consecutive cases of b...

Coronary spasm can usually be controlled by administration of Ca antagonists. However, there are some cases of coronary spasm whose attacks cannot be controlled even with large doses of Ca antagonist and/or its combination with nitrates. Here we describe the case of a 41-year-old man whose attacks of coronary spasm were resistant to the combined administration of nitrates, Ca antagonists, and a...

Abstract Background Angina pectoris in the absence of relevant epicardial stenoses (ANOCA) is frequently caused by coronary microvascular spasm. It has been speculated that morphology arteries associated with One hypothesis vasoconstriction microvessels leads to intraluminal pressure increase vascular segments proximal spasm, which may shift balance vessel forces toward elongation resulting tor...
