Key result
Early PCI stabilizes hemodynamics and preserves LVEF at 3 months in unprotected LMCA cardiogenic shock.
Why the study?
The prognosis of left main coronary artery disease depends on appropriate treatment strategy selection.
Case Report (n=1)
The prognosis of left main coronary artery disease is largely affected by the appropriate selection of the treatment strategy. A 45-year-old male presented with severe chest pain and two episodes of ventricular tachycardia, which was reverted after DC shock. Coronary angiography revealed critical stenotic lesion in the left main coronary artery. The patient successfully underwent urgent angioplasty with stent deployment in the left main coronary artery.

Krupal Reddy (2016) conducted a case report in Unprotected Left Main Disease with Cardiogenic Shock (n=1). Early Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stent was evaluated on Clinical and hemodynamic improvement. Early percutaneous coronary intervention in a patient with unprotected left main coronary artery disease and cardiogenic shock resulted in rapid reperfusion, hemodynamic stabilization, and preserved left ventricular function at 3 months.
