ABSTRACT
At the time of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, we are encountering patients who are Covid-19 positive and have severe coronary artery disease. Patients requiring cardiac surgery are particularly challenging. A multidisciplinary discussion aimed at assessing surgery tolerability and considering the most appropriate approach is important given the higher risk of surgical mortality. We report a case of a high-risk Covid-19 positive symptomatic female patient with an acute coronary syndrome and a critical calcified stenosis of the main stem of the left coronary artery. This patient was not suitable for cardiac surgery and she underwent a percutaneous coronary intervention using a left ventricular mechanical support system and intravascular lithotripsy.
