Rupture of the left ventricular myocardium during the course of an acute myocardial infarction may affect the free wall, the interventricular septum, or the papillary muscles. When a rupture occurs, it is referred to as a mechanical complication of acute myocardial infarction. All mechanical complications may lead to cardiogenic shock. However, the location of the rupture can often be suspected clinically. To confirm the diagnosis, echocardiography must be performed. Since the advent of thrombolytic therapy and percutaneous coronary intervention, the incidence of mechanical complications has declined. Even though mortality remains high, their recognition is important since survivors may have an excellent long-term prognosis. The cases convey two main messages: 1) Mechanical complications must be carefully searched for in any patient with an acute coronary syndrome and signs of cardiogenic shock and/or a systolic murmur. 2) Aggressive and timely medical and surgical treatment should be provided even though in a substantial proportion of these patients prognosis may be dismal.

An unusual location and causation of coronary artery aneurysm and its surgical treatment—A case report

et al. 2011

The most common causes of coronary artery aneurysm are atherosclerosis and Kawasaki disease. The disorder is frequently associated with severe multivessel atherosclerotic disease. If the aneurysm is associated with significant coronary artery disease and is leading recurrent ischemia, surgery should be considered. However, the surgery to be performed is not well established and largely depends on the shape of the aneurysm and the preference of the surgeon. We report a case of coronary artery aneurysm due to poststenotic dilation, located at the bifurcation point of the left anterior descending artery and the circumflex artery treated surgically.
