Abstract
A total of 590 patients with myocardial infarction treated with primary angioplasty were studied, to assess the incidence and related factors of free-wall rupture in patients with acute myocardial infarction when treated with primary angioplasty. The incidence of free-wall rupture was 2.2% (13 patients); this incidence was higher in patients >65 years old, women, nonsmokers, as well as in those with anterior location and an initial TIMI grade 0 flow, but it was similar in patients with a successful or unsuccessful angiographic result.Entities:
