Abstract
Vasospasm following balloon angioplasty of gastroepiploic artery bypas s grafts can be prevented or reversed with vasodilators. In our patien t, stent deployment for ostial stenosis of a free gastroepiploic arter y graft was accompanied by severe, diffuse spasm and a change in graft configuration that required both intensive medical therapy and balloo n angioplasty for resolution.
