Intracoronary stenting may be an effective intervention for terminating refractory ventricular fibrillation complicating acute myocardial infarction when medical therapy and balloon angioplasty fail.
May suggest stenting for refractory VF in AMI after failed drugs and angioplasty; single case leaves open need for prospective study.
We report on a case of intractable recurrent ventricular fibrillation that responded poorly to antiarrhythmic medication and balloon angioplasty, but resolved instantaneously following intracoronary stenting.
