Abstract:
We report a patient who received aortic valve replacement and experienced early postoperative coronary artery spasm, which led to inferolateral myocardial infarction. The spasm was unresponsive to conventional medication. However, after systemic circulatory and respiratory control, a good prognosis was obtained.
