Fulltext PDFWellens syndrome patients are at risk for acute myocardial infarction with a large acute anterior wall because of the lesion in left anterior descending coronary artery and percutaneous coronary intervention is the definitive treatment to relieve the occlusion in left anterior descending coronary artery. Electrical storm is defined as the three or more episodes of ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation in any interval of 24 hours. The appearance of cardiac electrical storm is a critical situation with poor outcome. We would like to present a case of Wellens syndrome, with the significant stenosis in left circumflex artery and Ramus intermedius or Median Ramus artery apart from the culprit lesion in left ascending artery, suffering from the cardiac electrical storm after percutaneous coronary intervention in the left ascending coronary artery - the culprit artery and it was managed successfully with the complete revascularization in all lesions thanks to the intravenous infusion of amiodarone and lidocaine in different veins as an option for controlling the electrical storm.
