  • Title: Variant angina pectoris.
    Author: Smithen C, Wilner G, Baltaxe H, Gay W, Killip T.
    Journal: Am Heart J; 1975 Jan; 89(1):87-90. PubMed ID: 1109557.
    Abstract:
    A patient with variant angina pectoris due to a pedunculated calcific mass extending from the aortic valve and resulting in intermittent obstruction of the left coronary ostia is reported. No atherosclerotic disease was demonstrated by coronary angiography. During attacks, marked ST segment elevation and episodes of tachycardia were associated with a moderate rise in pulmonary artery pressure. Replacement of the calcified aortic valve resulted in total relief of symptomatology.
