Deskripsi
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) helps identify coronary artery disease of different etiologies. Vasospasm from OCT catheter is a rarely reported complication that is more commonly seen in the right coronary artery. We report a case of OCT-catheter induced vasospasm of the left anterior descending artery that resolved with administration of nitroglycerine. Interventionalists need to weary of the occurrence of catheter-related coronary artery spasm to avoid stenting when not necessary.
