    Abstract

    Two cases of prolonged catheter-induced right coronary artery spasm, mimicking fixed stenoses, are presented. In one case, the spasm appeared at the same place in sequential catheterizations. This anglographic finding may be easily misinterpreted as a fixed lesion, leading to unnecessary attempts at angioplasty.
