Surgical implications of intraoperative postinfarction ventricular rupture

FH Edwards, RA Albus, GM Graeber and GA Besch

This case report documents that ventricular myocardial rupture after acute infarction may seal with clot, only to rupture again with potentially lethal consequences. At exploration, the clot over a fresh rupture was intact. As closure was started, the clot disrupted, causing severe hemorrhage. Rupture was successfully repaired and the patient survived.
