Abstract
The successful stent placement for treatment of recurrent vasospastic angina in a patient with nonstenotic coronary arteries is described. U se of the Palmaz-Schatz stent resulted in successful vasodilation that completely prevented anginal attacks. This procedure represents an al ternative treatment for patients with vasospastic angina refractory to aggressive medical therapy. (C) 1997 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
