โฆ Synopsis
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 arterial conduits. We share our experience with this first case in the literature noted to have severe vasospasm during PTCA. Cathet.

Radial artery spasm is a frequent complication of the transradial approach for coronary angiography and angioplasty. Recently, we have been able to quantify spasm using the automatic pullback device. The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of an intra-arterial vasodilating cocktail in
Directional coronary atherectomy (DCA) of a saphenous vein bypass graft to the left coronary artery was performed percutaneously from the brachial artery approach using a 7F endomyocardial biopsy sheath. Initial positioning was accomplished wlth a left bypass graft catheter inserted in the sheath. T
