Successful infarct exclusion for postinfarction left ventricular free wall rupture.
The mortality of postinfarction left ventricular free wall rupture is still high. Several surgical techniques have been used for repairing such ruptures. Here, we describe using an infarction exclusion technique to successfully treat a case of a blow-out type postinfarction left ventricular free wall rupture. This technique has frequently been used for repairing postinfarction ventricular septa...
متن کاملNew modalities of surgical treatment for postinfarction left ventricular free wall rupture: A case report and literature review
Left ventricular free wall rupture (LVFWR) is the third leading and most feared complication of myocardial infarction. The course of rupture varies from a catastrophic blow-out type to a subacute oozing type. The widespread availability and use of echocardiography have increased the number of cases diagnosed before death and the number of surgical cases attempted. Despite this, experience with ...
متن کاملPostinfarction posterior ventricular septal rupture mimicking a biventricular free wall rupture with extracardiac left-to-right shunt
Cardiac rupture (CR) is a life-threatening mechanical complication of acute myocardial infarction (MI). CR subsumes 3 pathogenetic entities in descending order of frequency including (i) free wall rupture (FWR), (ii) ventricular septal rupture (VSR) and (iii) papillary muscle rupture (PMR). The incidence of CR decreased from 6.2% to 3.2% in parallel with a progressive use of revascularization p...
متن کاملVentricular free wall rupture.
BACKGROUND Left ventricular free wall rupture (FWR) is reported to occur in 2-6% of cases presenting with acute myocardial infarction. Mortality of this complication is very high, accounting for 20-30% of all infarct related deaths. The objective of our study was to present our surgical experience of free wall rupture over a period of five years from 2004-2009. METHODOLOGY A review of our rec...
متن کاملAn unusual presentation of left ventricular free wall rupture.
Left ventricular free wall rupture (LVFWR) is one of the most lethal complications following myocardial infarction. It accounts for approximately 12% to 21% of all in-hospital deaths following myocardial infarction. The majority of patients die shortly after LVFWR from instantaneous pericardial tamponade and hemodynamic collapse. However, up to one-third of cases are subacute in nature, allowin...
