Abstract:
Cardiac ruptures are life-threatening complications after acute myocardial infarction. Types of rupture include left ventricle free-wall rupture, ventricular septal rupture, and papillary muscle rupture. Double rupture is defined as the coexistence of two of the above-mentioned forms of rupture. It complicates approximately 0.3% of acute myocardial infarction with the most frequent combination being free-wall rupture and ventricular septal rupture. We present the case of a 74-year-old man whose recent acute myocardial infarction was complicated by a combination of free-wall rupture and ventricular septal rupture. The patient underwent successful surgical treatment of the double myocardial rupture along with bypass grafting.
