  • Title: Cardiogenic shock due to acute left main coronary artery occlusion: successful treatment with primary angioplasty.
    Author: Sganzerla P, Passaretti B, Ceriani R, Bortone F.
    Journal: Ital Heart J; 2000 Oct; 1(10):702-4. PubMed ID: 11061368.
    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.
