Perioperative coronary spasm and right ventricular ischemia. 1986

R M Gagnon, and D Doyle, and R Meloche

Perioperative coronary spasm after coronary bypass surgery is increasingly recognized as a possible cause of circulatory collapse. Most of the reported cases involved the right coronary artery (RCA). A case where transient right coronary spasm provoked right ventricular ischemia and collapse is described.

D003326 Coronary Circulation The circulation of blood through the CORONARY VESSELS of the HEART. Circulation, Coronary
D003327 Coronary Disease An imbalance between myocardial functional requirements and the capacity of the CORONARY VESSELS to supply sufficient blood flow. It is a form of MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA (insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle) caused by a decreased capacity of the coronary vessels.

D000787 Angina Pectoris The symptom of paroxysmal pain consequent to MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA usually of distinctive character, location and radiation.
