Abstract
The authors describe a fifty-five-year-old Japanese man with an acute extensive anterior myocardial infarction associated with a total occlu sion of the left main coronary artery. The patient suffered cardiogeni c shock and was treated successfully with rescue percutaneous translum inal coronary angioplasty and an intraaortic balloon pump (IABP) after unsuccessful intracoronary thrombolysis. Ten days after admission, he was weaned from IABP, and recovery-phase coronary angiography reveale d no significant coronary artery stenosis and an ejection fraction of 32% by left ventriculography. The patient was discharged from the hosp ital without any ischemic findings.
