Life-threatening gastrointestinal bleeding during the rescue of acute coronary syndrome with repeated cardiac arrest is a difficult challenge to overcome during treatment. The success rate of rescue can be improved through the multidisciplinary cooperation of the rescue team, the selection of a reasonable rescue plan, and timely implementation. Surgical hemostasis has rarely been reported in the literature. Here, we have reported our successful treatment experience with a case of acute coronary syndrome that was complicated by massive gastrointestinal hemorrhage and required an operation to stop the bleeding.
