Abstract:
Coronary artery vasospasm results in transient, abrupt chest pain that's due to the increased vasomotor tone of the coronary artery, and this can cause myocardial ischemia. We report here on one case of the right coronary artery vasospasm after aortic valve replacement surgery, and this was due to severe aortic regurgitation.
