title: Unexpected coronary vasospasm of a contralateral artery during balloon angioplasty.
abstract: It is unusual for coronary vasospasm to develop following angioplasty of a coronary vascular lesion that is located elsewhere. We experienced a rare case of shock with vasospasm of the right coronary artery in a patient following balloon angioplasty performed for stent restenosis of the left anterior descending artery.
