Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

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, cardiogenic shock (CS), or severely reduced left-ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were excluded.

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

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.

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 cardiogenic shock and passed away.
