Acute myocardial infarction caused by vasospasm of a jailed diagonal branch subsequent to stent implantation in the left anterior descending artery: a case report

This is the first documentation of aggregated coronary spasm observed at the ostium of stent-jailed side branch. Stent implantation may induce endothelial dysfunction and promote inflammation, leading to spasms particularly at stent edges. This phenomenon can extend to side branches jailed by the stent, and invasive intervention may be a viable therapeutic strategy for such cases.
