چکیده

left ventricular free wall rupture is responsible for up to 10% of in-hospital deaths following myocardial infarction. it is mainly associated with posterolateral myocardial infarction, and its antemortem diagnosis is rarely made. one of the medical complications of myocardial infarction is the rupture of the free wall, which occurs more frequently in the anterolateral wall in hypertensives, women, and those with relatively large transmural myocardial infarction usually 1-4 days after myocardial infarction. we herein present the case of a 66-year-old man suffering inferior wall myocardial infarction with abrupt hemodynamic decompensation 9 days after myocardial infarction. emergent transthoracic echocardiography revealed massive pericardial effusion with tamponade, containing a large elongated mass measuring 1 × 8cm suggestive of hematoma secondary to cardiac rupture. in urgent cardiac surgery, the posterior wall between the left coronary artery branches was ruptured.

Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm after sutureless repair of subacute left ventricular free wall rupture: a case report.

A 65-year-old woman presenting with a left ventricular pseudoaneurysm 27 months after sutureless repair of a subacute left ventricular free wall rupture complicating acute myocardial infarction is described. An autologous pericardial patch and gelatin resorcin formaldehyde (GRF) glue were used in the repair. A small pseudoaneurysm bulged out over the true aneurysm of the left ventricle. We perf...

[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.

Left ventricular free wall impeding rupture in post-myocardial infarction period diagnosed by myocardial contrast echocardiography: Case report

BACKGROUND Left ventricular free wall rupture occurs in up to 10% of the in-hospital deaths following myocardial infarction. It is mainly associated with posterolateral myocardial infarction and its antemortem diagnosis is rarely made. Contrast echocardiography has been increasingly used for the evaluation of myocardial perfusion in patients with acute myocardial infarction, with important prog...

same variables in corresponding patients. The echo-measured left ventricular enddiastolic chamber dimension (Dd) correlated closely with the angiographic minor axis in the AP plane (correlation coefficient 0.87 and SE -+-0.45 cm) and with the minor axis from the lateral film (r 0.91, SE +0.39 cm). Similar correlations were found between measurements by these methods of wall thickness (r = 0.89,...
