Abstract

Acute anterior myocardial infarction (MI) due to left main coronary artery thrombosis is a rare entity with a very high mortality rate. A 72-year-old male patient was admitted with chest pain of two-hour onset that appeared during syncope. Electrocardiography showed first-degree AV block, right bundle branch block, left anterior fascicular block, ST-segment elevation of 5 mm in lead aVR, and significant ST depression in anterior derivations, suggesting acute anterior MI. Coronary angiography showed total occlusion of the left main coronary artery. During consultation for emergency operation, he developed hypotension. An intra-aortic balloon pump was inserted and inotropic support was initiated. He required several attempts of cardioversion due to persistent attacks of ventricular tachycardia. He developed respiratory arrest, requiring endotracheal intubation mechanical ventilation. The patient died due to recurrent attacks of ventricular fibrillation and subsequent development of asystole during primary percutaneous coronary intervention.

Özet

Sol ana koroner arter trombozu nedeniyle meydana gelen akut anterior miyokard infarktüsü (Mİ) oldukça seyrek görülür; ancak, mortalitesi çok yüksektir. Yetmiş iki yaşında erkek hasta, yaklaşık iki saat önce bayılma ile birlikte başlayan göğüs ağrısı şikayetiyle acil servise getirildi. Elektrokardiyografide birinci derece AV blok, sağ dal bloku, sol ön fasikül bloku, aVR’de 5 mm ST yükselmesi ve inferior derivasyonlarda belirgin ST çökmesi ile birlikte akut yaygın anterior Mİ bulguları görüldü. Koroner anjiyografide sol ana koroner arterin %100 tıkalı olduğu görüldü. Hasta acil cerrahi girişim için değerlendirilirken hipotansiyon gelişti ve intraaortik balon pompası takılarak inotropik tedaviye başlandı. Sürekli ventriküler taşikardi atakları nedeniyle birkaç kez kardiyoversiyon yapıldı. Solunumun durması üzerine endotrakeal entübasyon uygulanarak mekanik ventilasyona geçildi. Primer perkütan koroner girişim sırasında, tekrarlayan ventrikül fibrilasyonu atakları ve sonrasında asistoli gelişmesi sonucu hasta kaybedildi.
