A 73-year-old man with effort angina after myocardial infarction is admitted for percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). During PTCA, the left anterior descending artery (LAD) was completely occluded. He was suffered from severe cardiogenic shock with systemic cyanosis and loss of consciousness. Under assist of intraaortic balloon pump (IABP) and cardiac massage, he was transferred to an operating room. Before the start of operation, cardioversion were required 13 times because of repeat attacks of ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation. Coronary artery bypass was completed in 177 minutes after total occlusion of the LAD. At the 5th postoperative day, IABP could be discontinued, and at the 8th postoperative day, the patient was weaned from mechanical ventilation. He was transferred to the prior hospital for rehabilitation on the 65 days after operation. We must try to perform CABG for salvage of myocardium, even if a patient falls in severe cardiogenic shock presenting intractable ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation.

D003327 Coronary Disease An imbalance between myocardial functional requirements and the capacity of the CORONARY VESSELS to supply sufficient blood flow. It is a form of MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA (insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle) caused by a decreased capacity of the coronary vessels.

D014693 Ventricular Fibrillation A potentially lethal cardiac arrhythmia that is characterized by uncoordinated extremely rapid firing of electrical impulses (400-600/min) in HEART VENTRICLES. Such asynchronous ventricular quivering or fibrillation prevents any effective cardiac output and results in unconsciousness (SYNCOPE). It is one of the major electrocardiographic patterns seen with CARDIAC ARREST. Fibrillation, Ventricular,Fibrillations, Ventricular,Ventricular Fibrillations

D017180 Tachycardia, Ventricular An abnormally rapid ventricular rhythm usually in excess of 150 beats per minute. It is generated within the ventricle below the BUNDLE OF HIS, either as autonomic impulse formation or reentrant impulse conduction. Depending on the etiology, onset of ventricular tachycardia can be paroxysmal (sudden) or nonparoxysmal, its wide QRS complexes can be uniform or polymorphic, and the ventricular beating may be independent of the atrial beating (AV dissociation).
