Survival Beyond the Odds: Twelve‐Week Follow‐Up After Conservative Management of Post‐Infarction Ventricular Free Wall Rupture
This case highlights the potential for spontaneous healing in subacute LVFWR when carefully selected patients are managed conservatively. Multimodal imaging was pivotal for diagnosis, monitoring, and confirmation of healing. While surgery remains standard, non-operative strategies may represent a safe alternative in high-risk or stable patients under close multidisciplinary supervision.
