We report on a case of multivessel coronary artery spasm preceded by vagal signs and symptoms, which resolved after administration of atropine. This supports that the spasm was triggered by endogenous acetylcholine. Cathet. Cardiovasc. Diagn. 44:423-426.

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
Twenty-five years ago, fatalities due to acute thrombotic coronary occlusion occurring during coronary angiography were reported not infrequently, but are thought to have been eliminated by changes in technique and equipment. We present a case with documentation of a normal coronary arterial tree ju
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
