Abstract
|
|
|
|
The mortality of left ventricular free wall rupture after acute myocardial infarction is high; however, subactue myocardial rupture can be diagnosed by echocardiogram and the use of the intraaortic balloon pump reduces the incidence of re-rupture. Bleeding from subacute myocardial rupture can be managed by employing fibrin glue and several patches. We report here on a case of successfully managed case of subactue left ventricular free wall rupture after acute myocardial infarction with using the sutureless technique and fibrin glue.
