Abstract

We report a case of 102-year-old independent male, with no co-morbidities, who underwent successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of left main coronary bifurcation. During PCI, he developed hypotension, acute kidney injury and hemoglobin drop but was managed successfully. The patient's condition was stabilized and is doing well without any adverse events.
