Complex bifurcation lesions often requiring a two-stent revascularization approach mean more metal, a higher risk of major adverse cardiovascular events, and added difficulties in the case of late complications, such as in-stent restenosis and stent thrombosis. In this article, we report a case of late stent thrombosis in a 56-year-old patient who had left main (LM) and left anterior descending (LAD) left circumflex arteries with T and small protrusion technique percutaneous intervention (PCI) one year before her admission with hemodynamic compromise and no access to urgent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). We discuss challenging and high-risk PCI with limited resources, and the result was satisfactory with a favorable outcome.

- - Electrical storm (ES) is a serious heart condition defined by repeated episodes of sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) or ventricular fibrillation (VF), often triggered by acute heart issues like a heart attack.
- - A case involving a 64-year-old man with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) highlights how ES can occur after heart procedures, even without complications like stent thrombosis.
- - Treatment for ES may involve urgent measures such as synchronized cardioversion, anti-arrhythmic medications, and sedation, resulting in successful recovery, as evidenced by this patient being discharged after a two-week hospital stay.
