Abstract

Stent thrombosis is a rare complication after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), but it might be related to fatal outcomes. We report a case of patient who suffered from acute myocardial infarction complicated with cardiogenic shock and ventricular tachycardia caused by stent thrombosis and successfully resuscitated by percutaneous cardiopulmonary bypass support.
