Abstract

Mohammed Habib and Merwan Sadek

Perioperative ischemia remainsa significant problem and carries a very high morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Different therapeutic options are available for the clinician to manage this complication. These include direct reoperation, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and conservative medical management. Immediate PCI has been reported to be a viable alternative to emergent redo CABG in these patients. Here in, we report an additional case of emergent PCI immediately after failed primary CABG in patient with cardiogenicshock.
