title: Coronary spasm is not a benign entity.
abstract: We present a case of unrecognized recurrent severe coronary spasm treated by percutaneous coronary interventions leading to catastrophic complications ultimately requiring emergency coronary artery bypass grafting and later, following occlusion of the grafts, recanalization of a totally occluded left coronary artery. Throughout the case history the recognition and management of this challenging coronary phenomenon is discussed.
