Non-Fatal Outcome after Acute Left Ventricular Free Wall Rupture
Left ventricular free wall rupture is an uncommon but catastrophic event caused by acute myocardial infarction. In most of the cases, acute rupture results in cardiac tamponade and shock which is usually fatal within few minutes. Only immediate diagnosis and surgery can increase the survival rate. We report the case of the acute left ventricular free wall rupture, which was treated surgically w...
متن کامل[Left ventricular free wall rupture during dobutamine stress echocardiography].
Dobutamine stress echocardiography is associated with a very low rate of serious complications, lower than 0.5% (death, infarction or sustained ventricular tachycardia). We report the case of a 75 year-old female patient that suffered a fatal left ventricular free wall rupture during a dobutamine stress echocardiography after acute myocardial infarction.
متن کاملLong-term prognosis of fulminant myocarditis rescued by percutaneous cardiopulmonary support device.
BACKGROUND The long-term prognosis and cardiac function of fulminant myocarditis treated with percutaneous cardiopulmonary support (PCPS) was compared with the outcome of those not treated with PCPS. METHODS AND RESULTS From 1991 to 2000, 14 patients with fulminant myocarditis (left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF) < or =40%) were admitted to hospital. PCPS was necessary for treatment of sh...
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 کاملLeft Ventricular Free Wall Rupture in Transmural Myocardial Infarction
Left ventricular free wall rupture (LVFWR) is a grave complication of acute myocardial infarction (MI). We report a case of a 73-year-old male who developed LVFWR five days after a transmural MI. The diagnosis was confirmed with echocardiography, which showed a large pericardial effusion with a clot in the pericardial sac. This case emphasizes that a high index of clinical suspicion for the acu...
