Vasospasm of arterial conduits used for coronary surgical procedures is an important cause of postoperative graft failure. Mounting experimental evidence suggests that estrogen reverses acetylcholine-induced vasospasm of the coronary arteries in animals and humans. Estrogen also affects endothelium-derived constrictor factors. We therefore investigated the in vivo vasomotor responses to transdermal 17beta-estradiol of the left internal mammary artery (LIMA) grafted on the anterior descending coronary artery.

Abstract
Vasospasm of arterial conduits used for coronary surgical procedures is an important cause of postoperative graft failure. Mounting experimental evidence suggests that estrogen reverses acetylcholine-induced vasospasm of the coronary arteries in animals and humans. Estrogen also affects endothelium-derived constrictor factors. We therefore investigated the in vivo vasomotor responses to transdermal 17beta-estradiol of the left internal mammary artery (LIMA) grafted on the anterior descending coronary artery.
