Successful treatment of vasospastic angina with a coronary stent.

Abstract
Calcium antagonists are the treatment of choice in vasospasm angina when no stenosis or mild stenosis are present. We present a case in which ergonovine echocardiography showed vasospasm of the right coronary artery despite optimal medical treatment. Stenting of a mild stenosis in that artery successfully controlled vasospasm and a pre-discharge ergonovine echocardiographic test was negative. The patient remains asymptomatic one year after stenting.
