“…The incidence of spasm (0.26-3%) varies with the type of approach, the catheter used, the skill of the angiographer, and medication received by the patient prior to the procedure [1][2][3][4]. Although the mechanism of catheterinduced spasm has never been delineated, mechanical irritation stimulating a reflex contraction of the coronary artery around the offending catheter tip is thought to be likely.…”

“…Spontaneous coronary vasospasm has an overall incidence of 0.3-3% [4,5]. Proposed mechanisms include mechanical irritation triggering a myogenic reflex [6,7], stress receptor activation [8], and platelet aggregation at the catheter tip with release of vasoactive agents [9].…”

Catheter-induced vasospasm is well appreciated during diagnostic coronary angiography and angioplasty, but has rarely been described in peripheral arteries. We present an unusual case of concomitant catheter-induced vasospasm of the right external iliac and right coronary arteries. This case illustrates the potential challenges in diagnosing catheter-induced vasospasm from fixed obstructive atherosclerotic lesions in peripheral vessels.

“…On selective coronary angiography, 0.5-0.8% of patients could show evidence of coronary artery spasm stimulated either by the tip of the catheter or the contrast medium [69][70][71].…”

Patients with variant angina represent a diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma. Variant angina is a disease with various causes, variations in treatment guidelines and variable prognosis. In an era of robotic cardiac surgery and automatic cardioverter defibrillators, it is regrettable that we lack enough information on the optimal management of this entity. Lack of randomised trials and a tendency for spontaneous remissions makes interpretation of results difficult. We review the pathophysiology, presentation and recent developments in medical and surgical management of variant angina. Literature is full of conflicting data and it is difficult to make specific recommendations.
