Video Summary

A 56-year-old male experienced recurrent cardiac arrest and received successful defibrillation and CPR. Initial assessments indicated ST elevations and significant cardiac damage, with a history of hypertension, ESRD on dialysis, and other health issues. During PCI, significant coronary artery disease with heavy calcification was found, including severe stenosis and RCA occlusion. The plan incorporates vascular access, potential hemodynamic support, and calcium modification strategy. Consideration is given to anticoagulant and antiplatelet therapy options. In the lab, Tyrofibam is used due to cost efficiency. The case setup is complete and awaiting discussion and conclusion.
