What are treatment options for this rhythm, when all else fails?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Angiography : LMCA — 90-99% osteal stenosis. LCx — 50-69% stenosis of the 1st marginal branch; with 100% distal LCx occlusion. Troponin T peaked at 38,398 ng/L ( = a very large myocardial infarction, but not massive-- thanks to the pre-PCI spontaneous reperfusion, and rapid internvention!! ).
