Intraventricular free wall dissection causing acute interventricular communication with intact septum in myocardial infarction.
نویسندگان
چکیده
This report delineates a previously unrecognized complication of acute myocardial infarction, an intraventricular wall dissection producing interventricular communication without septal perforation. The clinical, hemodynamic, and pathologic features of this unique condition are documented, as well as the factors important in the mechanism of its production.

Interventricular septal dissection in a patient with an old myocardial infarction.
We observed an unusual case of interventricular septal wall dissection in a patient with a prior myocardial infarction. Echocardiography, magnetic resonance imaging, and left ventriculography revealed separation of the right-side and left-side walls of the interventricular septum with an accessory chamber between the two walls. Morphologic findings were consistent with interventricular septal d...
متن کاملDouble rupture of interventricular septum and free wall of the left ventricle, as a mechanical complication of acute myocardial infarction: a case report
INTRODUCTION Cardiac ruptures following acute myocardial infarction include rupture of the left ventricle free-wall, ventricular septal defects, and papillary muscle rupture. Double myocardial rupture is a rare complication of acute myocardial infarction (0.3 %) and the report of such cases is exclusively limited to a small series of autopsy studies. CASE PRESENTATION In this report we presen...
متن کاملRupture of the ventricular myocardium and perforation of the interventricular septum complicating acute myocardial infarction.
O NE of the fatal complications of acute myocardial infaretion is rupture of the affected ventricular niyoeardium. The free wall of the left ventricle is the region usually involved, and sudden death occurs due to acute cardiac tamponade. Occasionally the interventricular septum is perforated, and the clinical signs are characteristic. Recognition of septal perforation may permit utilization of...
متن کاملIntramyocardial dissecting haematoma: a rare complication of acute myocardial infarction.
Intramyocardial dissecting haematoma (IDH) is a rare complication of myocardial infarction, with very scarce reports in medical literature. Before the advent of non-invasive imaging techniques, the diagnosis of IDH was only made by necropsy. It can develop in the left ventricular free wall, the right ventricle, or the interventricular septum. We present a case of a patient with an IDH after acu...
متن کامل[Comparison of epicardial fat thickness in diabetic patients compared to non-diabetics with acute myocardial infarction and ST-segment elevation (AMI-STEMI)].
INTRODUCTION Visceral fat has deleterious metabolic effects and has been associated with myocardial ischemia. OBJECTIVE To compare epicardial fat thickness in diabetic versus non-diabetic patients with acute myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation. MATERIAL AND METHODS We performed a cross-sectional study in 60 patients with acute myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation (30 ...
