Reanimación cerebrocardiopulmonar prolongada exitosa. Reporte de un caso

Article information

Se presenta el caso de un paciente a quien se le realizó coronariografía diagnóstica la cual reportó enfermedad coronaria de tres vasos. Inmediatamente después de finalizar el procedimiento presentó paro cardiorrespiratorio, y se iniciaron maniobras de reanimación básicas y avanzadas por dos horas. Durante la reanimación se practicó angioplastia e implante de stent en la arteria circunfleja. El paciente recuperó la circulación espontánea y fue trasladado a la unidad de cuidado coronario; en el segundo día se llevó a revascularización quirúrgica miocárdica exitosa y fue dado de alta luego de dieciséis días del evento inicial sin déficit neurológico evidente.

We present the case of a 57 year old patient patient who underwent a diagnostic coronariography that showed three-vessel coronary disease. He presented cardiorespiratory arrest immediately at the end of the procedure; basic and advanced resuscitation maneuvers were started during a two hours period. During the resuscitation, primary angioplasty and stent implantation in the circumflex artery was performed. The patient recovered spontaneous circulation and was transferred to the coronary care unit. On the second day, a successful myocardial revascularization was performed and was discharged 16 days after the event without evident neurological deficit.

Keywords:
