  • Title: Coronary artery spasm following coronary artery bypass grafting. Treatment with intracoronary ISDN followed by systemic intravenous nifedipine infusion.
    Author: Zaiac M, Renzulli A, Hilton CJ.
    Journal: Eur J Cardiothorac Surg; 1990; 4(2):109-11. PubMed ID: 2331385.
    Abstract:
    Coronary artery spasm following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has been described previously. The cause and underlying risk factors are mainly speculative and treatment therefore symptomatic. We present the successful management of this condition by administration of an intravenous Nifedipine infusion after intracoronary Isosorbide dinitrate (ISDN) had failed to relieve the spasm.
