A case report of emergent CABG after left main trunk occlusion as complication of direct PTCA
1999
: A 38-years-old man was transferred to our hospital because of cardiogenic shock following acute left main trunk (LMT) occlusion as a complication of direct percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), and then underwent emergent coronary artery bypass grafting. We successed his life salvage, but he suffers from very severe heart failure following extensive myocardial infarction. Though acute LMT occlusion as a complication of PTCA is rare, a proper treatment has to be started as soon as possible if it occurs. We must make the systems of support for the emergencies among the surrounding hospitals.
