Key result
Multidisciplinary critical care and repeat PCI yield neurological recovery after complicated acute myocardial infarction.
Why the study?
The case highlights the imperative requirement for multidisciplinary action in managing myocardial infarction complicated by rare, severe events including ventricular tachycardia, stent thrombosis, hypoxic brain injury, and multi-organ failure.
Case Report (n=1)
This case report demonstrates that prompt re-intervention for stent thrombosis combined with prolonged, coordinated multidisciplinary critical care can achieve meaningful neurological and respiratory recovery in a patient with acute MI complicated by cardiac arrest, hypoxic brain injury, and multi-organ failure.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May support multidisciplinary care plus repeat PCI in select post-MI arrest cases; leaves open generalizability beyond this single report.
Key Clinical Message: The case highlights the imperative requirement for multidisciplinary action in handling a myocardial infarction case, complicated by rare and severe events like ventricular tachycardia, stent thrombosis, hypoxic brain injury, and multi-organ failure. Abstract: This article presents a case of a 53-year-old male, who presented with myocardial infarction that was managed by percutaneous coronary intervention and stent placement. However, it progressed to multiple complications in sequence (ventricular tachycardia, stent thrombosis, hypoxic brain injury, and multi-organ failure). Hopefully, the condition of the patient improved after 2 months from GSC-4 to GCS-9 by a multidisciplinary approach and was discharged for home-based treatment.

Dutta et al. (2024) conducted a case report in Acute anterior wall myocardial infarction complicated by ventricular tachycardia, stent thrombosis, hypoxic brain injury, pulmonary edema, and multi-organ failure (n=1). Multidisciplinary critical care management, primary PCI with drug-eluting stent, surgical thrombolysis, and repeat stent replacement was evaluated on Neurological recovery (Glasgow Coma Scale score) and respiratory status (SpO2). Multidisciplinary critical care and repeat PCI improved the patient's Glasgow Coma Scale score from 4 to 9 and SpO2 from 40% to 98% over 2 months after complicated acute myocardial infarction.
