Immediately after contrast injection into the LMCA, the patient had circulatory collapse, with a precipitous drop in blood pressure. An Impella device was placed to maintain cardiac output and perfusion pressures. Angiography : LMCA — 90-99% osteal stenosis. Epinephrine infusion was begun. RCA — 100% proximal occlussion.

The initial blood pressure was 80/palp with a heart rate of 104, respirations 20, oxygen saturations of 94% and a finger stick blood glucose of 268. In addition, the patient received 750 mL of fluid resuscitation with transient improvement of blood pressure. If you see this, you should Doppler the valve.
