Coronary spasm is a well-recognized observation during coronary angiography. This report describes a patient who developed spasm of a radial artery bypass graft during coronary intervention. There are many reports on the angiographic follow-up to confirm the surgical results for patency in radial ar
## Abstract Objective: It has previously been observed that coronary diameter may increase following relief of flowβlimiting obstruction. Flow mediated dilatation (FMD) is a fundamental adaptive mechanism for arteries, which is dependent on intact endothelial function. We thus aimed to characterize
