Coronary vasospasm is an infrequent cause of acute coronary syndrome. Additionally, femoral artery spasm is not frequently encountered clinically. Here we present a case of a patient with an acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction, secondary to a documented right coronary artery vasospasm, complicated with left coronary artery and femoral artery vasospasm. Intravenous ultrasound showed calcification at the sites of spasm. This case report indicates that coronary vasospasm should be regularly considered as part of the work up of myocardial infarction.
