The disappearing coronary stenosis: reemphasizing the importance of excluding coronary vasospasm before coronary intervention.

These classic lesions resolved after intracoronary nitroglycerin while positioning a stent. This case reemphasizes the need to exclude vasospasm prior to any interventional coronary procedure.
