Survival after subacute cardiac rupture.

چکیده
A 43-year-old man collapsed suddenly, with pericardial tamponade, seven weeks after an inferior myocardial infarction. Pericardiocentesis disclosed very heavily blood stained fluid. Left ventricular angiography 10 days later showed a left ventricular aneurysm. At operation a left ventricular false aneurysm was resected and the patient recovered uneventfully.

Ventricular Free Wall Rupture: Ten Year Survival After Surgical Repair
Ventricular free wall rupture is a devastating complication of acute myocardial infarction. It occurs in 15-25% of fatal cases. However, the overall incidence in acute MI cases is about 2%. [1] Clinical markers suggesting free wall rupture include pulseless electrical activity in a first MI, and pericardial tamponade. Subacute rupture takes hours or days to develop, and is suggested clinically ...
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 کاملMultiple organ failure after a fall from heights complicated by cardiac rupture and subacute cardiac tamponade.
Accidents and posttraumatic injuries are one of the most important health and social problems. Most of them require immediate medico-surgical intervention. Accidents are the leading cause of death among young people under age of 40. In 25% of cases they lead to disability. Fall from height causes inter alia blunt chest trauma, and internal organs contusion (e.g. heart and lungs), and may be fat...
متن کاملSubacute rupture of the free left ventricular wall following acute myocardial infarction. Successful surgery in a case.
Free left ventricular wall rupture following acute myocardial infarction usually results in cardiac tamponade and sudden death. Occasionally, the bleeding into the pericardial sac is arrested by the surrounding pericardial tissue causing formation of a pseudoaneurysm. The case herein reported presented with a refractory pericardial effusion 1 month after an anterior myocardial infarction. While...
متن کاملPrediction of long-term cardiac events by 123I-MIBG imaging after acute myocardial infarction and reperfusion therapy
Objective(s): In heart failure, the heart-to-mediastinum (H/M) ratio of the delayed image and washout rate (WR) are well-known as a powerful cardiac event predictors. H/M ratio quantifies the accumulation rate of MIBG in the myocardium and WR quantifies reduction of meta-iodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) accumulation in the heart from the early planar image to the delayed pla...
