[Correction by a calcium inhibitor of a coronary spasm occurring during aortocoronary bypass].
A case of recurrent coronary artery spasm after coronary revascularization under cardiopulmonary bypass is related. The spasm, which occurred under nitroglycerin perfusion, was suspected on the ECG tracing and confirmed during immediate reoperation. It was successfully treated with bepridil, a calcium-channel blocking agent. The use of such agents after cardiac surgery is discussed.
