Left ventricular free wall rupture, a rare complication of acute myocardial infarction, was successfully diagnosed and treated. Surgical repair using extracorporeal bypass on a beating heart proved effective in this case.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Cardiac Surgery
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Left ventricular free wall rupture is a life-threatening mechanical complication following acute myocardial infarction.
  • Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for patient survival.

Observation:

  • A 59-year-old male presented with suspected left ventricular free wall rupture post-myocardial infarction.
  • Diagnostic modalities included transthoracic echocardiography, left ventriculography, and a novel technique involving saline injection into the left ventricle with concurrent echocardiography.

Findings:

  • The combination of diagnostic imaging techniques successfully identified the left ventricular free wall rupture.
  • Surgical intervention was performed using extracorporeal circulation on a beating heart, achieving a successful outcome.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the successful application of advanced diagnostic imaging and surgical techniques for managing a critical cardiac emergency.
  • The technical aspects of the surgical repair offer valuable insights for complex cardiac procedures.
