Cardiogenic shock due to acute left main coronary artery occlusion: successful treatment with primary angioplasty

P Sganzerla et al. Ital Heart J. 2000 Oct.

Abstract

A 56-year-old patient was admitted with cardiogenic shock due to an acute anterior myocardial infarction. Cardiac catheterization with coronary angiography disclosed a thrombotic occlusion of the left main coronary artery. Prompt mechanical recanalization of the infarct-related artery with multiple stent implantations associated with prolonged circulatory and respiratory supports allowed for a partial recovery of the left ventricular function and the discharge of the patient.
