Introduction: To evaluate the use of the mechanical chest compression device LUCAS™ (Jolife AB, Sweden) in the cath lab, in patients who suffer cardiac or circulatory arrest requiring prolonged resuscitation. Lengthy resuscitations in the cath lab carry extremely high rates of mortality because it is essentially impossible to perform effective chest compressions while continuing the percutaneous intervention (PCI).
