title: [Left main coronary artery angioplasty with circulatory support].
abstract: A 60-year-old female with unstable angina was submitted to coronary arteriography. A 90% obstruction of the left main coronary artery ostium was detected, and the patient developed ventricular fibrillation. Circulatory support was instituted with cardiopulmonary bypass. Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty was then successfully carried on. Ventricular fibrillation could be controlled and the patient was submitted to coronary artery bypass graft surgery 14 days later.
