  • Title: [Emergent coronary artery bypass grafting for a patient with cardiopulmonary arrest].
    Author: Miyagi N, Oshima N, Shirai T, Sunamori M.
    Journal: Kyobu Geka; 2006 May; 59(5):365-8. PubMed ID: 16715885.
    Abstract:
    A 59-year-old man was admitted to our hospital due to sudden onset of unconsciousness caused by myocardial infarction with ventricular fibrillation. Emergent coronary angiography under intraaortic balloon pumping revealed 90% stenosis of the left main trunk and left anterior descending artery (LAD), and complete obstruction of the left circumflex artery (Cx) and right coronary artery (RCA). Emergent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) to LAD, Cx, and RCA was performed. During the postoperative course, the patient developed ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation. After implantation of an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), he was discharged on the postoperative day 36. The patient has now resumed normal daily life.
