Abstract:
Coronary artery spasm immediately after the coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is rare but it can cause sudden and severe hypotension or a ventricular arrhythmia. We report a case of low cardiac output syndrome caused by a right coronary artery spasm following CABG that did not show any significant stenotic lesions on preoperative coronary angiography.
