The authors report a special cases of precise evaluation of threatened myocardium during coronaro-ventriculography. Two elements provided this evaluation: 1) spasm in the tight stenosis of the middle part of the anterior interventricular artery with immediate left ventricular dyskinesia (EF: 37%, EDP/EVD: 1.74; EDV: 98 cc/m2). 2) Complete instantaneous recovery after injection of 2 mg of trinitrine into the left ventricle (EF: 69%, EDP/EVD: 4.33; EDV: 28 cc/m2). This loss, in the order of 50%, in the left ventricular function led us to perform an angioplasty (ACT) with success. A further clinical and angiographic stenosis, three months later, in this 72 years old patient with arteritis, led us to perform an aorto-coronary graft, rather than another ACT.
