Successful percutaneous coronary intervention during cardiac arrest with use of an automated chest compression device: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation (VT/VF) in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is associated with poor prognosis. Performing manual chest compressions is a serious obstacle for treatment with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Here we introduce a case with refractory VT/VF where the patient was successfully treated with an automated chest compression device, which made revascularization with PCI possible.

Use of the LUCAS mechanical chest compression device for percutaneous coronary intervention during cardiac arrest: is it really a game changer?
Cardiopulmonary support including closed chest compression is a mainstay in the management of cardiac arrest. However, traditional means (i.e. manual) chest compression may be logistically challenging, especially in patients requiring emergent invasive procedures such as percutaneous coronary intervention for cardiac arrest due to acute myocardial infarction. The LUCAS mechanical chest compress...

We report a case of 72-year-old female patient with end-stage chronic kidney disease, undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) that resulted in a cardiac arrest caused by a thrombus mediated flow limitation in the left coronary artery. With mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) PCI of the left main artery was performed successfully during 50 min cardiac arrest. The patient w...

Despite significant advances in the science of resuscitation, survival to discharge after an in-hospital cardiac arrest in the catheterization laboratory remains poor. Clinicians face the challenges of performing CPR during procedures to address the cause of the arrest and the limitations of prolonged manual CPR. In this article we describe the first case of a patient presenting in cardiogenic ...

BACKGROUND The most common complication of coronary artery perforation, a rare complication of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), is hemopericardium with cardiac tamponade. However, localized extra-coronary bleeding can lead to epicardial hematoma, which is a rare phenomenon. We report the case of an unusual delayed presentation of post-PCI hematoma with unrecognized guidewire perforatio...

Cardiac arrest with ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation in the catheterization laboratory is not uncommon, but patients who suffered cardiac arrest requiring prolonged cardiopulmonary resuscitation is not infrequent and still a major problem, because it is essentially impossible to perform effective manual chest compressions during percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs).
