Abstract
Angioplasty has been used in the management of postcoronary bypass gra ft myocardial ischemia/infarction. A stent was successfully deployed i n the left main artery in a patient with postcoronary bypass graft isc hemia with hemodynamic instability. This case illustrates the potentia l use of emergency left main stenting in a selected patient with peri- operative ischemia, who was considered high risk for re-operation. (C) 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
