Abstract:
A successful case of emergency CABG (Coronary Artery bypass Grafting) by using PCPS (Percutaneous Cardio Pulmonary Bypass) for a 60-year-old with shock due to acute myocardial infarction was reported. He developed shock due to acute myocardial infarction before arrival at our hospital. He was resuscitated by PCPS. Coronary angiography revealed that LMT was 99% stenosed and LAD just proximal was totally occluded. Emergency CABG was performed to LAD and CX using saphenous vein grafts. Post-operative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged at hospital two months after the operation. PCPS is useful for bridge until emergency CABG.
