    Abstract:
    A 42-year-old man was treated under a diagnosis of Churg-Strauss syndrome with predonisolone pulse therapy. Three days later, he developed cardiogenic shock following acute myocardial infarction. Coronary angiography showed total occlusions in three peripheral coronary vessels. Intraaortic balloon pumping was used to maintain hemodynamics and predonisolone pulse therapy was repeated. However, he developed cardiogenic shock again after the second pulse therapy and needed percutaneous cardiopulmonary support and intraaortic balloon pumping. Accordingly, combination therapy of predonisolone and cyclophosphamide was given. He then recovered. Follow-up angiography showed recanalization of the infarct-related arteries.
