Video Summary

A 57-year-old man with no known medical history collapsed at home, experiencing ventricular fibrillation. His wife performed CPR before EMS defibrillated him three times, achieving ROSC. An EKG showed anterior and anterolateral STEMI, leading to recurrent defibrillations. At the hospital, he was placed on VA ECMO in the emergency room, proceeded to the cardiac cath lab, and underwent PCI for a 100% occluded LAD and a thrombotic obstruction in the distal left main artery. Post-PCI, he was stabilized with echopella support and admitted to intensive care for heart failure management and temperature regulation.
