| Abstract: | We report two cases with induced coronary spasm of the culprit lesion in the infarct related coronary artery in the chronic phase after primary percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). To our knowledge, there are few data on the response of the angioplasty site to ergonovine in human coronary arteries after primary PTCA. It is important to note that chest pain recurring after successful primary PTCA is not automatically related to restenosis, and coronary spasm in patients with previous myocardial infarction, should also be considered .
