Abstract | Left ventricular free wall rupture (LVFWR) is a rare mechanical complication of acute myocardial infarction. The clinical course of LVFWR is very poor. Direct or patch closure of the rupture area and sutureless procedures constitute the treatment for LVFWR. We present the surgical treatment of a patient who developed LVFWR after high lateral myocardial infarction, and its successful outcome. Successful salvage of LVFWR remains relatively rare. Transthoracic echocardiography, myocardial contrast echocardiography and thoracic computed tomography are important diagnostic tools for LVFWR. These patients usually present with acute cardiac tamponade symptoms requiring immediate treatment. |
