Abstract
Contemporary cardiology offers potent treatment options for acute coronary syndrome.
Occasionally, the most challenging part of the patient care occurs after percutaneous coronary
intervention (PCI). Complications such as acute renal failure requiring renal replacement therapy, need
for mechanical ventilation, infections, septic syndrome requiring vasopressor therapy, and stroke may influence
short- and long-term outcome of such patients. In this paper, we present a case of an elderly lady
treated with left main PCI due to acute non-ST elevation myocardial infarction. The case was complicated
with all above listed events, however, the outcome was favourable.
