Eur Heart J Acute Cardiovasc Care. 2020 Dec;9(8):NP3-NP5. doi: 10.1177/2048872616652268. Epub 2016 Jun 8.

Abstract

We describe the case of a 68-year old female presenting with subacute ST-elevation myocardial infarction and severe depressed left ventricular ejection fraction (15%) in the presence of severe three-vessel coronary artery disease. The patient was haemodynamically stable. After heart team discussion, a percutaneous coronary intervention was performed under peripheral veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation without complications.

Keywords: Percutaneous veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation; acute coronary syndrome; multivessel coronary artery disease.
