Emergency stent implantation appears to be an effective method for restoring antegrade flow in case of an abrupt coronary occlusion during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). In this case report, hemodynamic and metabolic changes throughout abrupt coronary closure and stent implantation were followed in order to study the efficacy of this bail out technique in restoring metabolic and hemodynamic disturbances due to acute coronary occlusion.
