Interventricular septal rupture caused by vehicular trauma.

چکیده
We report the case of a patient admitted at the emergency unit after a severe car accident. As ECG showed a ST segment elevation in all leads, the working diagnosis was coronary dissection. Coronary angiography revealed a large interventricular septal rupture, confirmed by echocardiography. After discussion and as haemodynamics permitted, 6 weeks of medical observation were decided. A surgical repair was then performed, and provided a perfect repair of the shunt. We discuss about the prevalence and management of this rare traumatic complication.

متن کاملDoppler echocardiographic features of ventricular septal rupture in myocardial infarction.
Doppler echocardiography was used to evaluate the features of interventricular septal rupture in six patients with acute myocardial infarction and to substantiate the hemodynamic data and morphologic findings at surgery or autopsy. Although echocardiographic visualization of the septal rupture was obtained in only two of the six patients, unusual Doppler flow signals were detected in the apical...
متن کاملRupture of the interventricular septum.
Rupture of the interventricular septum is an uncommon complication of cardiac infarction. The seven cases reported here illustrate the clinical and pathological features of this condition. In 1948, Fowler and Failey, in a survey of previously reported cases, found records of 60 patients who had myocardial infarction involving the interventricular septum with subsequent septal rupture; in 17 of ...
