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.
光学相干断层扫描(OCT)有助于识别不同病因的冠状动脉疾病。OCT导管引起的血管痉挛是一种很少报道的并发症,在右冠状动脉中更常见。我们报告一例左前降支OCT导管诱发的血管痉挛,经硝酸甘油治疗后缓解。介入医生需要警惕导管相关冠状动脉痉挛的发生,以避免不必要的支架置入。
