متن کاملSurgical Treatment of Post-Infarction Left Ventricular Free Wall Rupture: Three Cases Review
Left ventricular free wall rupture (LFWR) is rare, but is one of the most serious complications of myocardial infarction and is associated with high mortality. Several operative techniques have been attempted, but early diagnosis and prompt surgical management are crucial for a positive patient outcome. We report three cases of LFWR successfully treated with surgical methods.
متن کاملSutureless off-pump repair of post-infarction left ventricular free wall rupture
Left ventricular free wall rupture after myocardial infarction has a high mortality. Suturing techniques of repair may be technically difficult and require cardiopulmonary bypass. We report a case of left ventricular rupture in a 47 year old man managed off pump employing a sutureless technique with Gelatine-Resorcin-Formalin glue and bovine pericardial patches.
متن کاملLeft ventricular free wall impeding rupture in post-myocardial infarction period diagnosed by myocardial contrast echocardiography: Case report

Ventricular free wall rupture is a rare, usually fatal complication of acute myocardial infarction. Subacute free wall rupture with pseudoaneurysm formation is even rarer, but may be associated with a chance of survival if surgery is performed expeditiously. Although rupture of the left ventricle is more common, right-sided rupture has also been reported. We report an unusual case of post-infar...
