Two Interesting Cases of Left Ventricular Free Wall Rupture in Myocardial Infarction

We present two interesting cases of left ventricular free wall rupture following ST elevation myocardial infarction. First case was not identified on echocardiography and angiography despite high suspicion and later underwent emergent lifesaving mediastinal exploration and repair. Second case had a delayed presentation of inferior STEMI and cardiac tamponade. These cases highlight the diagnostic challenges and variable presentations of left ventricular free wall rupture (LVFWR).

Abstract

We present two interesting cases of left ventricular free wall rupture following ST elevation myocardial infarction. First case was not identified on echocardiography and angiography despite high suspicion and later underwent emergent lifesaving mediastinal exploration and repair. Second case had a delayed presentation of inferior STEMI and cardiac tamponade. These cases highlight the diagnostic challenges and variable presentations of left ventricular free wall rupture (LVFWR).
