1 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 (January 2002) DOI: /S (01)

2 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.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (01) )

3 Fig 2 The LAO projection and left coronary artery injection (LAD = left anterior descending artery; OM = obtuse marginal branch; PDA = posterior descending artery.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (01) )

4 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  , DOI: ( /S (01) )

5 Fig 4 Severe native coronary artery spasm of the obtuse marginal branch. Saphenous vein graft (SVG) bypass to obtuse marginal branch. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (01) )

6 Fig 5 Severe native coronary artery and conduit spasm of the left anterior descending artery (LAD). Left internal thoracic artery (LITA) bypass to LAD. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (01) )
