“…Some authors reported that surgery is the only salvageable procedure and superior to conservative measures once hemopericardium is confirmed [1,2]. Most of the salvaged cases reported have been treated only by closure of the rupture site [14]. Few techniques have been described, including direct compression, suturing with pledgets, and sutureless patch glue [3].…”

“…However, RVFWR is mostly caused by occlusion of the RCA. 2,3 According to Furukawa and colleagues, 4 all RVFWR caused by LAD occlusion are associated with ventricular septal rupture. Therefore, ours is an interesting case of isolated RVFWR caused by occlusion of the LAD.…”

A 67-year-old man was admitted with right ventricular free wall rupture secondary to occlusion of the left anterior descending artery. Emergency coronary angiography showed total occlusion of the proximal left anterior descending artery and severe stenosis of the proximal right coronary artery. Echocardiography revealed acute cardiac tamponade, and free wall rupture of the heart was suspected. At surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass, closure was achieved using mattress sutures with pledgets.

Echocardiographic evaluation of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) is a low cost, portable, and non-invasive imaging tool that is available in almost all hospitals and in many offi ce settings. Detection of a discreet impairment in regional left ventricular mechanical function by echocardiography provides real time cardiac imaging useful in the evaluation and diagnosis of acute and chronic CAD. Echocardiography helps to establish the diagnosis, location, and extent of ischemia and it identifi es mechanical complications of infarction and provides prognostic information for risk stratifi cation. Stress echocardiography, by induction of regional wall motion abnormalities with treadmill or bicycle exercise or following dobutamine pharmacologic stress, is routinely used to demonstrate the presence of CAD, to risk stratify patients, and to assess myocardial viability prior to revascularization. Newer echocardiographic parameters, such as strain rate and perfusion, have improved the accuracy in CAD detection and are complementary adjuncts in stress echocardiography.
