Abstract
In a 68-year-old man admitted in deep shock, prompt echocardiographic diagnosis of postinfarction left ventricular free wall rupture was followed by probably life-saving pericardiocentesis. At emergency surgery a 2 cm linear tear in the anterolateral wall of the left ventricle was successfully repaired with a glued-on pericardial patch, without infarctectomy or placement of sutures in the infarcted area.Entities:
