A 48-year-old man developed severe chest pain and became unconscious.
Coronary cineangiography revealed single coronary artery of the type L2b by
Sharbaugh and White. Ergonovine, 0.2 mg i.v., produced coronary arterial
spasm in the right coronary artery. This case suggests that coronary
arterial spasm might be a cause of sudden death in patients with single
coronary artery. However, an association of single coronary artery and
coronary arterial spasm might be coincidental.
