Apropos of one case of successful treating for ventrical fibrillation and cardiac arrest during performance of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and stenting in acute myocardial infarction patient

ABSTRACT

Study on one case of ventrical fibrillation and cardiac arrest during performance of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and stenting in acute myocardial infarction patient at Central Military Hospital 108. Results: the complication of arrhythmia, ventrical fibrillation and cardiac arrest often occurred in patient with acute inferoposterior wall myocardial infarction. Stent-related complications included embolism, coronary piercing and hemorrhage. All equipment and drugs should be prepared when performing PTCA and stenting, especially patients with arrhythmia must be observed by ICU doctor. Electric defibrillation is the most effective treatment of ventrical fibrillation during PTCA and stenting. If CPR has been done correctly, the patient would fully recover although the time of asystole was more than 10 minutes.
