Acute total occlusion of the left main coronary artery treated with percutaneous intervention and simultaneous implantation of intra-aortic balloon pump.

Electrocardiographic findings at first medical contact and direct transfer to the catheterization laboratory are important in acute total occlusion of the left main coronary artery. Simultaneous emergency angioplasty and intra-aortic balloon pump implantation might be beneficial in overcoming the patient's most critical hemodynamic instability.
