Pathomorphological characteristics of myocardial infarction complicated by rupture

Late Presentation of an Inferior Myocardial Infarction Complicated by Ventricular Septal Rupture: A Case Report

Ventricular septal rupture (VSR) is a well-described and potentially fatal complication of acute myocardial infarctions. In the era of early reperfusion therapy, the incidence has been on the decline. We describe a case of delayed presentation inferior myocardial infarction complicated by VSR requiring early surgery and review our center's experience.

Urgent hybrid approach in treatment of the acute myocardial infarction complicated by the ventricular septal rupture.

INTRODUCTION Ventricular septal rupture (VSR) in the acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a rare but very serious complication, still associated with high mortality, despite significant improvements in pharmacological and surgical treatment. Therefore, hybrid approaches are introduced as new therapeutical options. CASE OUTLINE We present an urgent hybrid approach, consisting of the initial pe...

Coronary aneurysm complicated by acute myocardial infarction.

The case of a 55 years old, hypertensive, obese female is presented, who came to the emergency department with inferoposterior ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) with right ventricular infarction. After thrombolytic therapy, she reperfused but had anginal symptoms on minimal activity. The patient underwent coronary angiogram which showed aneurysmal right coronary artery (RCA) wi...
