A 79-year-old man had an out-of-hospital acute ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction with cardiac arrest.

We discuss the patient's case, highlight the challenges of managing simultaneously life-threatening thrombosis and hemorrhage, and present our conclusions regarding the patient's eventual death.
