Abstract
A SPASM OF THE native coronary artery is a rare but life-threatening complication after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Therefore, the emphasis is placed on early postoperative coronary angiography (CAG) in patients whose condition is inexplicably unstable after the surgery. There are reports in which the coronary artery spasm was relieved with intracoronary infusions of various vasodilators, but in others the spasm could not be relieved and mortalities have occurred. The authors present a case of a postoperative spasm of a nongrafted coronary artery resistant to intracoronary vasodilator administration that needed reoperation with grafting of the affected vessel.
