Abstract:
Pharmacological therapy remains the treatment of choice for Prinzmetal angina. We report an unconventional approach of coronary artery stenting to treat coronary artery spasm in variant angina refractory to triple drug therapy. Favorable clinical and angiographic results and a negative Ergonovine test, under less aggressive medical therapy, are valuable arguments for stenting. Four-month angiographic follow-up showed absence of intrastent restenosis with a negative Ergonovine test. However, long-term follow-up is necessary before advocating this as a systematic approach.
