Ventricular double rupture case of long-term survival without surgical repair.

چکیده
A 78-year-old asymptomatic male with a history of coronary artery disease was admitted for preoperative cardiovascular evaluation before noncardiac surgery. Auscultation revealed a Grade 3 holosystolic murmur at the left parasternal area. Transthoracic echocardiography documented ventricular double rupture (VDR), consisting of ventricular septal rupture, and rupture of the apical part of the left ventricular free wall with pseudoaneurysm formation. Hospital records revealed that VDR had been noticed 7 years ago during hospitalization due to anterior myocardial infarction. However, recommended surgical repair could not be performed because of the patient's refusal.

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 ...
