Introduction The use of contemporary drug-eluting stents (DES) has significantly improved outcomes of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Patients with left main (LM) disease, cardiogenicshock (CS), or severely reduced left-ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were excluded.
Now appears to be in cardiogenicshock." However, cardiogenicshock usually takes some time to develop, so it is probably subacute." Cardiogenicshock and ACS is an indication for the cath lab, even if you don't think there is OMI. I was texted these ECGs. Then SOB and nausea the next day.
She arrived comatose and in cardiogenicshock and the following ECG was recorded. Pressors were required, and the patient was transported to the cath lab with a door to balloon time of 60 minutes, where a proximal dominant RCA occlusion was opened and stented. She was intubated.
A man in his 70s with past medical history of hypertension, dyslipidemia, CAD s/p left circumflex stent 2 years prior presented to the ED with worsening intermittent exertional chest pain relieved by rest. The notes now refer to the patient being in cardiogenicshock, on pressors. Am J Emerg Med. 2014;32:e5–e8. J Cardiol Cases.
She was taken to the cath lab, where she was found to have 100% in-stent restenosis of the proximal LAD. A temporary pacemaker was implanted, and she was admitted to the ICU with cardiogenicshock. She was worked as a full code, and ROSC was achieved. Later the next day, she went into cardiac arrest again.
Intra-procedural data included access route, coronary anatomy, lesion complexity, number of stents deployed, door-to-balloon time for primary PCI, and any intra-procedural complications. and the average number of stents 2.6. The radial approach was used in 544/567 (95.94%), the average SYNTAX score was 34.8 ± 9.6,
So the RCA was stented. The patient continued to have chest pain after the RCA was reperfused, so the LAD was then stented. But by this time the patient went into cardiogenicshock and passed away.
Angiogram: Culprit Lesion (s): Thrombotic occlusion of the proximal RCA -- stented. However, raising the pulse to 60 is hardly "working" for a patient who needs a lot more cardiac output. Fortunately, the patient made it to the cath lab alive without pacing or intubation.
He was taken to the cath lab where he was found to have acute total occlusion of his saphenous vein graft to his RCA, which was stented. He was in cardiogenicshock requiring an impella for several days after cath. No further troponins were measured.
Henry Ford Health's National CardiogenicShock Initiative research team. Cardiogenicshock is a critical condition in which the heart is unable to pump enough blood to sustain the body’s needs, depriving vital organs of blood supply. This can cause those organs to eventually stop functioning.
Past medical history includes coronary stenting 17 years prior. If you take old people with a history of MI (he had a stent), that percentage goes far higher since there is scar tissue that acts as a nidus for the PVCs that initiate VT. He had concurrent sharp substernal chest pain that resolved, but palpitations continued.
The patient was referred immediately for cath which revealed RCA occlusion that was stented. The patient died of cardiogenicshock within 24 hours despite mechanical circulatory support. There is some down sloping ST-segment and T wave inversion in lead aVL. The findings are diagnostic of inferior and posterior wall OMI.
P.S.: Cardiac cath was performed — and showed a distal LA D "culprit" lesion that was successfully stented. Unfortunately — this patient died within 12 hours of obtaining this tracing from cardiogenicshock. The above said, this is not Wellens' Syndrome — because a large infarction has already occurred! (
Why is the patient in shock? He was in profound cardiogenicshock. He was successfully stented. There is an obvious inferior STEMI, but what else? Besides the obvious inferior STEMI, there is across the precordial leads also, especially in V1. This STE is diagnostic of Right Ventricular STEMI (RV MI).
The patient is started on epinephrine infusion for cardiogenicshock and cardiology took the patient to the cath lab. Two stents were placed with resultant TIMI 3 flow. The Queen of Hearts sees it of course: Still none of these three ECGs meet STEMI criteria.
TIMI flow 0) is rare in the ED, as most either die before arrival or are recognized clinically due to cardiogenicshock. 67) Less than 3% of anterior STEMI has LM OMI, and most are recognized clinically due to cardiogenicshock. (68, Everolimus-Eluting Stents or Bypass Surgery for Left Main Coronary Artery Disease.
So the patient was taken for emergent cath, showing: Culprit artery: LAD (100% stenosis, TIMI 0) requiring thrombectomy and stent. Queen of Hearts interpretation: Now the cardiologist considered it "STEMI"!
distal stent patent. The patient went into cardiogenicshock and ultimately died of this MI. Repeat ECG shows modest ST elevation in I and aVL and depression in inferior leads." The cath lab was activated. Angiogram: LM 30% ostial. LAD 80% mid LCx occluded mid (acute infarct lesion) RCA 80% mid.
The axiom of "type 1 (ACS, plaque rupture) STEMIs are not tachycardic unless they are in cardiogenicshock" is not applicable outside of sinus rhythm. However we also noticed that the rhythm is rapid, regular, and narrow, with no P-waves, at a rate of approximately 200 bpm, and therefore not sinus rhythm in this patient in his 60s.

A completely blocked artery is located, a wire is inserted through it, the clot is sucked, the narrowing is widened with a balloon, and then a stent (stainless steel wire mesh) is placed to maintain consistent flow. It’s essential for those at risk of coronary artery disease to be aware of the following symptoms.
Mind you, IABP during cardiogenicshock, essentially does this – keep the coroanry diastolic pressure high. Final message Putting a stent across 90% lesion surely is a childish task, when compared to understanding complex hemodynamic vortices that happen across it. H owever, there are significant caveats. Reference 1.
Assessment : Cardiology thought this was cardiogenicshock from RV dysfunction. The estimated left ventricular ejection fraction is 40-45%. Probable anterior and anterolateral wall hypokinesis. Right ventricular enlargement. Decreased right ventricular systolic performance. There was no pulmonary embolism.
24) Microaxial Flow Pump in Infarct-Related CardiogenicShock DanGer Shock (ACC.24) It is asking for stenting all non-flow limiting lesion , if found, to carry high risk plaques by intracoronary Imaging. Top 10 Clinical Trials Preventive PCI on Stenosis With Functionally Insignificant Vulnerable Plaque PREVENT (ACC.24)
A 2017 trial named CULPRIT SHOCK found that in patients with cardiogenicshock, a strategy of culprit vessel PCI only was associated with better outcomes than immediate multivessel PCI. After CULPRIT SHOCK, many shied away from multivessel PCI in the acute setting. In fact, in this elegant study by Heitner et al.
He had undergone stenting of the LAD several weeks ago (unclear whether elective for stable symptoms, or in response to acute coronary syndrome). That the chief complaint of today's patient was acute CP ( C hest P ain ) with a history of known coronary disease and LAD stent placement a few weeks earlier. He appeared critically ill.
