A 66-year-old male patient was treated successfully by primary percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) following an acute anterior wall myocardial infarction with prior moderate LV systolic dysfunction and developing cardiogenic shock with intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation (IABP), ventilator support and support with four inotropic drugs in full dosage.
