Abstract:
The authors have used the concept of hybrid revascularization to salvage a patient in persistent cardiogenic shock after incomplete emergent surgical revascularization. While the patient was on left ventricular assist device support, a complex angioplasty was done on a surgically inaccessible right coronary artery, with subsequent cardiac recovery.
