Coronary angiogram revealed 3 vessel disease and left main trunk coronary artery (LMT) lesion. Because right coronary artery (RCA) had been recanalised, he was scheduled to operation. On the 6th day after admission, another attack made him fell into secondary LMT shock syndrome and lung edema. Emergency operation was performed and he recovered from heart failure.
