Prinzmetal angina is described as episodes of chest pain that occur at rest, associated with electrocardiographic changes in the ST-segment, which may or may not evolve to ischemia, and are not caused by coronary artery disease, having more recently been related to a coronary vasospasm. This diagnosis becomes especially challenging in patients who have already undergone previous percutaneous coronary procedures. We report a case of a patient diagnosed with Prinzmetal angina with a recent percutaneous coronary intervention due to coronary artery disease.
