Background:
This study aims to investigate the curative effect of synthetic treatment for refractory acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
Methods:
A total of 76 patients with coronary AMI accompanied by shock, who were treated with combined therapy from August 1999 to April 2017, were included into this study. Sixty patients received emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Among these patients, 39 patients received intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation (IABP), eight patients had failed PCI underwent emergency off-pump coronary artery bypass (E-OPCAB), and eight patients were treated by hybrid cardiac surgery.
Results:
All patients were successfully rescued. However, two patients died afterward due to postoperative complications.
Conclusions:
For AMI patients complicated with shock, especially when emergency PCI fails or is difficult to perform, PCI + IABP, emergency E-OPCAB and hybrid cardiac surgery should be carried out, in order to achieve a good outcome and improve the success rate of rescue for this group of patients.
Keywords:

Acute Pharyngitis
Acute pharyngitis is the inflammation of the back of the throat (pharynx), commonly resulting in a sore throat. It is a frequently encountered condition that prompts individuals to seek medical advice.
Classification
Acute pharyngitis can be categorized based on its underlying cause:
Acute Pancreatitis I: Introduction
Acute pancreatitis is characterized by rapid inflammation of the pancreas, often caused by factors like gallstone blockage or excessive alcohol consumption. Chronic pancreatitis, on the other hand, is a slow, progressive inflammation that may result from long-term alcohol abuse, obstructions in the pancreatic duct, or genetic factors.
The causes of acute pancreatitis include:
