OBJECTIVE: To describe hemodynamic improvement in a @entity1 treated with @entity842 (NO) inhalation in the management of @entity67 caused by @entity583 . DESIGN: Case report. SETTING: An intensive care unit of a university hospital. @entity1 : A 66-yr-old @entity1 with severe @entity67 caused by @entity583 . INTERVENTIONS: @entity842 inhalation through a ventilator circuit. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: The @entity1 complained of @entity662 . When @entity583 was diagnosed, he underwent percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and percutaneous transluminal coronary recanalization, but they were not effective. We instituted intra-aortic balloon pumping and brought the @entity1 to the intensive care unit (ICU). Even with high-dose inotropic support, his hemodynamics deteriorated gradually. On the @entity1 's seventh day in the ICU, we started NO inhalation at 5-10 ppm in an attempt to relieve his @entity712 . Immediately after NO inhalation was started, his hemodynamics improved significantly, and we could wean the @entity1 from intra-aortic balloon pumping. NO inhalation was continued for 9 days and was successfully discontinued without circulatory deterioration. He was discharged from our hospital uneventfully. CONCLUSION: @entity842 inhalation improved hemodynamics in our @entity1 with @entity67 after @entity583 . Our report suggests that a clinical trial of NO treatment for severe @entity67 caused by @entity583 is warranted.

@entity842 inhalation is useful in the management of XXXX caused by @entity583 .
