Stent placement for recurrent vasospastic angina resistant to medical treatment.
The successful stent placement for treatment of recurrent vasospastic angina in a patient with nonstenotic coronary arteries is described. Use of the Palmaz-Schatz stent resulted in successful vasodilation that completely prevented anginal attacks. This procedure represents an alternative treatment for patients with vasospastic angina refractory to aggressive medical therapy.
