Survival after left ventricular free wall rupture due to acute myocardial infarction
BACKGROUND Left ventricular free wall rupture is a frequent catastrophic complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and occurs in 1-3% of patients with acute myocardial infarction; it is the third most common cause of death caused by acute myocardial infarction, too. CASE REPORT We describe acute left ventricular free wall rupture due to acute myocardial infarction in a 60-year-old man...
متن کامل[Survivor of blow out type of free wall rupture: multislice computed tomographic detection of myocardial rupture in a case of small myocardial infarction].
A 73-year-old man was admitted to the emergency room because of shock and loss of consciousness. Electrocardiography and echocardiography revealed myocardial infarction of the inferoposterior wall and cardiac tamponade. However, laboratory data showed mild inflammation without elevation of any cardiac enzymes. Under percutaneous cardiopulmonary support, coronary angiography showed stenosis of o...
متن کاملVentricular free wall rupture after myocardial infarction
Patients with their first myocardial infarction (MI), who present to the emergency department many hours after the onset of chest pain, who appear to be improving but suddenly develop new chest pain and unexpected hypotension (with or without signs of cardiac tamponade), should be suspected of having ventricular free wall rupture (VFWR). The mainstay of treatment is surgery. These patients may ...
متن کاملPost-myocardial Infarction Left Ventricular Free-wall Rupture
Occurrence of left ventricular free wall rupture following myocardial infarction is an unpredictable event associated with very high mortality rate. The most appropriate surgical approach remains controversial. With recent advances in portable echocardiography machines there has been a progressive rise in the number of cases of left ventricular free wall rupture diagnosed and reported. Early di...
متن کاملContained Left Ventricular Free Wall Rupture following Myocardial Infarction
Rupture of the free wall of the left ventricle occurs in approximately 4% of patients with infarcts and accounts for approximately 20% of the total mortality of patients with myocardial infractions. Relatively few cases are diagnosed before death. Several distinct clinical forms of ventricular free wall rupture have been identified. Sudden rupture with massive hemorrhage into the pericardium is...
