Clinical Information

Patient initials or Identifier Number

MR.Yang

Relevant Clinical History and Physical Exam

This 48-year-old man had Hypertension and hyperlipidemia. He smoked one pack per day for more than 30 years. He was brought to ER because of Chest pain with cold sweating and then syncope In the morning of admission day. When he arrived ER, He had cardiac collapse in ER; CPR was done. 
ECMO support was done in ER. Then emergency PCI was arranged£®

Relevant Test Results Prior to Catheterization

EKG revealed anterior wall STEMI and inferior wall STEMI; complete AV block was also noted.CXR revealed cardiomegaly and acute pulmonary edema.

Relevant Catheterization Findings

LM :patentLAD: middle LAD: 100% stenosis LCX: atherosclerosis change, distal LCXcollateral to distal RCARCA: proximal RCA: 100% stenosis

Case Summary

This patient survival after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI), under extracorporeal membrane oxygenator (ECMO) and intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) support; EKG revealed sinus rhythm£» Mean¡¡BP around 60-70 mmHg and consciousness alert about three days later; he can obey our order. We also prepared left ventricular assist device (LVAD)  and heart transplantation for this patient.  Unfortunately, patient expired 28 days later because of sepsis.
Conclusion:1. Complete AV block  and acute anterior wall MI simultaneously exist in EKG is a critical sign2. ECMO support for Double vessel AMI is important and necessary3. Reperfusion as soon as possible can increased survival rate
