Coronary artery spasm and ventricular fibrillation after off-pump coronary surgery Hartmuth B Bittner, MD The Annals of Thoracic Surgery Volume 73, Issue 1, Pages 297-300 (January 2002) DOI: 10.1016/S0003-4975(01)02860-0
Fig 1 The right anterior oblique (RAO) projection and left coronary artery injection revealed severe three-vessel coronary artery disease. The right coronary artery was chronically occluded and filled retrogradely from the left anterior descending (LAD) into a large posterior descending artery (PDA). The size 8 French angiography catheter (Cath) allows esti mating of the diameter of the coronary arteries. (D = diagonal branch; OM = obtuse marginal branch.)

Fig 3 Severe native coronary artery spasm of the posterior descending artery. Saphenous vein graft (SVG) bypass to posterior descending artery. (Cath = catheter.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2002 73, 297-300DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(01)02860-0)
