Abstract
Nowadays, the implantation of coronary endoprothesis within the left m ain coronary artery is not considered as an absolute contraindication. Here, we show a case of acute occlusion within the left main coronary artery. This was resolved by implanting a stent during a programmed c ardiac catheterization. It should be stressed that this problem was oc cured without manipulating the left coronary tree. In addition, the pa tient was in cardiac arrest when the stent was implanted. Cardiopulmon ary resuscitation was applied because of this condition.
