    Abstract:
    A 73-year-old man with effort angina after myocardial infarction is admitted for percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). During PTCA, the left anterior descending artery (LAD) was completely occluded. He was suffered from severe cardiogenic shock with systemic cyanosis and loss of consciousness. Under assist of intraaortic balloon pump (IABP) and cardiac massage, he was transferred to an operating room. Before the start of operation, cardioversion were required 13 times because of repeat attacks of ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation. Coronary artery bypass was completed in 177 minutes after total occlusion of the LAD. At the 5th postoperative day, IABP could be discontinued, and at the 8th postoperative day, the patient was weaned from mechanical ventilation. He was transferred to the prior hospital for rehabilitation on the 65 days after operation. We must try to perform CABG for salvage of myocardium, even if a patient falls in severe cardiogenic shock presenting intractable ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation.
