Abstract: Patients in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) with serious complications such as malignant ventricular arrhythmia and cardiogenic shock couldn't receive emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures and had high perioperative mortality. A case of AMI patients who suffered cardiac arrest and long-term cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was admitted to the department of critical care medicine of the First People's Hospital of Foshan. With the assistance of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), PCI and intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation (IABP) were performed. ECMO and ventilator were successfully weaned after anti-shock, mechanical ventilation, organ support treatment. The patient was successfully treated and discharged. After 6 months of follow-up, the patient recovered well in heart function.
