Myocardial revascularization in patients with Prinzmetal's angina has yielded variable results. Two patients are presented who underwent partial cardiac sympathectomy in combination with coronary artery grafting for typical variant angina associated with severe organic obstructive coronary artery disease. Late results 12 and 18 months postoperatively have been excellent in both instances as shown by clinical and angiographic evaluation.
