A 91-year-old male patient was admitted to hospital with acute myocardial infarction complicating cardiogenic shock. An emergency coronary arteriogram showed 99% stenosis at the mid-section of the right coronary artery, and in order to achieve an early recovery direct percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTCA) was performed through the brachial artery using a 6 french catheter. The lesion was successfully dilated up to 25% residual stenosis. Hypointention had been sustained during the admission; however, it gradually improved and he was discharged on the 31st hospital day. He has been followed up for 6 months after discharge at the out-patient clinic and has not recurrent ischemic episodes. According to other reports on the use of direct PTCA in the elderly, the postdischarge mortality rate is lower than that with medical therapy or thrombolysis. When cardiogenic shock occurs even in the elderly, direct PTCA should be selected as the first choice of treatment.
