ABSTRACT
2D echocardiography (2DE) is a well established tool for the diagnosis of the mechanical complications after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) such as free wall and ventricular septal rupture. However, the extension of the rupture and the relationship with contiguous anatomic structures may not be clearly defined by 2DE. Real-time 3D echocardiography (RT3DE) is known to provide surgical enface view allowing complete visualization of the cardiac structures and comprehension of their spatial orientations to other anatomic structures. Obtaining such information with RT3DE before operation in AMI patient with mechanical complication may be essential for the optimal surgical treatment. We report a case of extensive ventricular wall rupture from the posterior wall to the ventricular septum after AMI demonstrated by RT3DE.
