Multiple stenting in acute myocardial infarction with double vessel occlusion, complicated with cardiogenic shock.
Stenting of the infarct-related artery during the acute phase of myocardial infarction is a controversial issue. We report a case of primary multiple stent implantation in 2 vessels in a patient with AMI, double vessel total occlusion and cardiogenic shock. No intracoronary thrombotic therapy was given. Stenting provides an optimal angiographic result which may decrease the need for repeat interventions. Primary stenting in AMI deserves further investigation.
