Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Acute total occlusion of the left main coronary artery (LMCA) is a rare angiographic finding with very poor prognosis. We report a case of a 39-year-old man who presented with pulmonary edema and cardiogenic shock due to an acute anterior myocardial infarction. Coronary angiography, which was performed under the support of an intra-aortic balloon pump, revealed total occlusion of the LMCA. Prompt and successful percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty with sirolimus-stent deployment in the LMCA allowed for an uneventful recovery and discharge of the patient. |
