Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Acute cardiogenic shock is a lethal condition that results in death from myocardial failure, arrhythmia, or combinations of both. Aggressive medical, surgical, and interventional maneuvers have helped reduce the mortality. For the most advanced cases, ventricular assist devices have been used for persistent shock states. The purpose of this report is to describe the collaboration between cardiac surgery and cardiology subspecialty in an effort to promote native heart recovery in a complex case of cardiogenic shock requiring coronary artery bypass surgery, percutaneous coronary intervention, ventricular ablative therapy, and mechanical cardiac support.
