ABSTRACT
Left ventricular rupture after acute myocardial infarction is a serious complication with high mortality. Emergency operation is usually the only available treatment. A 76-year-old female with persistent chest pain and syncopal attacks was admitted. Transthoracic echocardiography showed the pericardial effusion and generalized hypokinesia of the inferolateral wall of left ventricle. Coronary angiography revealed a total occlusion of the first diagonal branch. After percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty with coronary stent and insertion of intraaortic balloon pump, emergency operation was performed. Under cardiopulmonary bypass and cardiac arrest with cold blood cardioplegia, coronary artery bypass graft with saphenous vein, pericardial patch covering on the rupture area with 6-0 polypropylene running sutures, and fibrin glue compression under the patch were performed. We present a case of left ventricular (free wall) rupture after acute myocardial infarction.
