Abstract
Vasospasm causes an abrupt and temporary occlusion in coronary arteries in patients with normal coronary arteries. Nonetheless, vasospasm of the left main coronary artery is unusual and can be spontaneous or iatrogenic. We herein report a very rare cause of temporary spasm of LMCA, which resulted in vasospastic angina and anginal chest pain. Intravascular ultrasonography should be considered as a good diagnostic tool in revealing the exact etiology of occlusions such as vasospasm or thrombosis.

Key words: Intravascular ultrasonography, left main coronary artery, vasospasm



Spontan sol ana koroner arter spazmı ve intravasküler ultrasonografi bulguları

Özet
Vazospazm, normal koroner arterleri olan hastaların koroner arterlerinde ani ve geçici bir tıkanmaya yol açabilir. Bununla beraber, sol ana koroner arterin vazospazmı pek sık değildir ve bu durum spontan veya iyatrojenik olabilir. Bu yazıda sol ana koroner arterin vazospastik anjina ve anjinal göğüs ağrısına neden olan çok nadir ve geçici bir nedeni sunulmuştur. İntravasküler ultrasonografi, vazospazm veya tromboz gibi tıkanıklıkların etiyolojisini göstermede iyi bir tanısal araç olarak düşünülmelidir.

Anahtar Kelimeler: İntravasküler ultrasonografi, sol ana koroner arter, vazospazm
