Abstract:
The incidence of serious cardiac complications associated with esophagogastro-duodenoscopic examination is very rare. An episode of cardiac arrest developed in 49-year-old during endoscopic examination. The patient had no history of pulmonary or ischemic heart disease. After cardiopulmonary resuscitation, he recovered completely. In this patient, we were able to demonstrate a focal spasm by coronary angiography.
