    Abstract:
    A young man with a single left coronary artery and refractory variant angina is described. Spontaneous coronary artery spasm developed during coronary arteriography at the site of a 50% fixed left anterior descending coronary artery stenosis. Frequent episodes of rest angina with transient ST segment elevation persisted in hospital in spite of treatment with three different calcium antagonist drugs. Symptoms disappeared only when the combination of nifedipine, diltiazem, isosorbide dinitrate, and nitroglycerin ointment were given. Ergonovine testing was used to objectively assess the response to treatment.
