✦ Synopsis

Angioplasty has been used in the management of postcoronary bypass graft myocardial ischemia/infarction. A stent was successfully deployed in the left main artery in a patient with postcoronary bypass graft ischemia with hemodynamic instability. This case illustrates the potential use of emergency left main stenting in a selected patient with peri-operative ischemia, who was considered high risk for re-operation.
