Right Ventricular Free Wall Rupture Complicating Anterior STEMI

ABSTRACT: Ventricular free wall rupture is a rare but devastating complication. We report right ventricular free wall rupture complicating anterior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction caused by a wrap-around left anterior descending coronary artery. In acute cardiac tamponade, a rapid and systematic evaluation of the likely source of bleeding is paramount to prevent disastrous outcomes. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.) Central Illustration
