Recurrence of Prinzmetal angina seven years following aortocoronary bypass surgery: a clinical and angiographic follow-up.

Abstract
A patient with Prinzmetal angina and ST segment elevation in the anterior ECG leads became asymptomatic after a 50% left anterior descending coronary artery stenosis was bypassed. However, seven years later Prinzmetal angina recurred but with ST segment elevation in the inferior ECG leads. Although the coronary bypass graft had remained patent, the proximal and distal left anterior descending coronary artery was occluded. No significant stenosis was present in the right coronary artery. Perhexiline maleate controlled his symptoms but when the drug was stopped because of side effects an acute inferior myocardial infarction occurred.
