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

Fatal Left Ventricular Free Wall Rupture Complicating Acute Myopericarditis.

Project description:This is a case of a 59-year-old man presenting with myopericarditis. Over a 2-week period, he developed progressive symptoms and worsening pericardial effusion, leading to cardiac tamponade. Pericardiocentesis revealed hemopericardium, and multidetector computed tomography angiography showed left ventricular free wall rupture. The patient collapsed abruptly, and autopsy confirmed the findings.

Right Ventricular Free Wall Rupture After Myocardial Infarction.

Project description:This paper describes the case of a 68-year-old man who presented in cardiac tamponade due to a right ventricular free wall rupture after a recent ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. After a pericardiocentesis, the ventricular defect resolved spontaneously. The patient was managed medically and avoided surgical intervention. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).

Ventricular septal rupture and cardiogenic shock complicating STEMI during COVID-19 pandemic: An old foe re-emerges.

Project description:The COVID 19 pandemic resulted in a total reduction in the number of hospitalizations for acute coronary syndromes. A consequence of the delay in coronary revascularization has been the resurgence of structural complications of myocardial infarctions. Ventricular septal rupture (VSR) complicating late presenting acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is associated with high mortality despite advances in both surgical repair and perioperative management. Current data suggests a declining mortality with delay in VSR repair; however, these patients may develop cardiogenic shock while waiting for surgery. Available options are limited for patients with VSR who develop right ventricular failure and cardiogenic shock. The survival rate is very low in patients with cardiogenic shock undergoing surgical or percutaneous VSR repair. In this study we present two late presenting ST elevation MI patients who were complicated by rapidly declining hemodynamics and impending organ failure. Both patients were bridged with venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) to cardiac transplant.

Left ventricular apex rupture in STEMI.

Project description:The key clinical message is to know that mechanical complications of myocardial infarction are rare but fatal. A high index of suspicion facilitates diagnosis. The presence of acute heart failure should ring an alarm. Other red flags are cardiogenic shock, new murmur, or evidence of hypoperfusion.

Successful infarct exclusion for postinfarction left ventricular free wall rupture.

Project description:The mortality of postinfarction left ventricular free wall rupture is still high. Several surgical techniques have been used for repairing such ruptures. Here, we describe using an infarction exclusion technique to successfully treat a case of a blow-out type postinfarction left ventricular free wall rupture. This technique has frequently been used for repairing postinfarction ventricular septal perforation. In this case, infarcted myocardial tearing was prevented, and complete haemostasis was achieved by infarct exclusion.

Unrecognized perforation into the anterior interventricular vein complicating PCI for anterior STEMI: An unexpected detour.

Project description:Large iatrogenic coronary artery perforations require rapid management; however, operators must be able to recognize guidewire perforation into cardiac veins in order to avoid causing further complications with standard salvage strategies.

Meta-analysis of surgical treatment for postinfarction left ventricular free-wall rupture.

Project description:BackgroundLeft ventricular free-wall rupture (LVFWR) is one of the most lethal complications after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The optimal therapeutic strategy is controversial. The current meta-analysis sought to examine the outcome of patients surgically treated for post-AMI LVFWR.MethodsA comprehensive literature review was performed to identify articles reporting outcomes of subjects who underwent LVFWR surgical repair. The primary endpoint was operative mortality. A meta-analysis was performed to assess the associations of predefined variables of interest and clinical prognosis.ResultsOf the 3132 retrieved articles, 11 nonrandomized studies, enrolling a total of 363 patients, fulfilled the inclusion criteria and were included in this analysis. The mean age of patients was 68 years. The operative mortality rate was 32% (n = 115). Meta-analysis revealed reduced operative risk in patients with oozing type rupture, as compared to blowout type (risk ratios [RR]: 0.47; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.33-0.67; p < .0001); RR was also significantly reduced in subjects in whom LVFWR was treated with sutureless technique, as compared to those undergoing sutured repair (RR: 0.59; 95% CI: 0.41-0.83; p = .002). Increased risk of operative mortality was demonstrated in patients who required postoperative extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support (RR: 2.39; 95% CI: 1.59-3.60; p < .0001).ConclusionsSurgical treatment of postinfarction LVFWR has a high operative mortality rate. Blowout rupture, sutured repair and postoperative ECMO support are factors associated with increased risk of operative mortality.

Ventricular Septal Dissection Complicating Inferior Wall Myocardial Infarction.

Project description:Postmyocardial infarction ventricular septal defect is an increasingly rare mechanical complication of acute myocardial infarction. We present a case of acute myocardial infarction from right coronary artery occlusion that developed hypotension and systolic murmur 12 hours after successful percutaneous coronary intervention. Although preoperative imaging suggested a large ventricular septal defect and a pseudoaneurysm, intraoperative findings concluded a serpiginous dissection of the ventricular septum. The imaging technicalities are discussed.
