ABSTRACT

La oclusión total del tronco coronario común izquierdo (TCI) es un hallazgo infrecuente en la cateterización cardiaca y más aún en pacientes con IAM con SDST, en este último contexto se presenta clínicamente con shock cardiogénico, arritmias malignas y/o muerte. Si bien en el paciente estable la cirugía continúa siendo la primera opción terapéutica1, en las oclusiones agudas dado el riesgo vital y la necesidad de reperfusión lo más precoz posible, la angioplastia primaria se considera como una opción real de salvataje. A continuación presentamos un caso clínico de un paciente con infarto agudo al miocardio con oclusión aguda del TCI tratado con angioplastía primaria.


The total occlusion of the left main coronary artery is a rare finding in the cardiac catheterization and even more so in patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction with ST-segment elevation. These patients presented clinically with cardiogenic shock, malignant arrhythmia and/or death. While in the patient is stable, the surgery remains the first choice therapy (1), but in acute occlusion given the risk to life and the need for the earliest possible reperfusion, primary angioplasty is considered as a real option bailout. The following is a case of a patient with acute myocardial infarction and acute occlusion of left main coronary artery treated with primary angioplasty is considered as real option bailout. The following is case of a patient with acute myocardial infarction and acute occlusion of left main coronary artery treated with primary angioplasty.
