Performing manual chest compressions is a serious obstacle for treatment with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Here we introduce a case with refractory VT/VF where the patient was successfully treated with an automated chest compression device, which made revascularization with PCI possible.Keywords: PCI, LUCAS, STEMI, automatic chest compressions, ventricular fibrillation, mechanical CPRhttp://www.dovepress.com/successful-percutaneous-coronary-intervention-during-cardiac-arrest-wi-a16444
