title: [Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty of the common trunk during the acute phase of myocardial infarction].
abstract: The prognosis of cardiogenic shock in the acute phase of myocardial infarction has been transformed since the introduction of techniques of myocardial revascularisation. We report the case of a patient in cardiogenic shock after a large anterior myocardial infarct in whom failure of early thrombolytic therapy led to referral for emergency percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. The success of the procedure on the patient's haemodynamic condition was life-saving. The originality of this case resides in the fact that revascularisation concerned the left main coronary stem.
