IMAGING IN CARDIOLOGYSubclinical myocardial infarction presenting as free wall rupture A 50-year-old man presented twice within a period of two weeks with symptoms and electrocardiographic (ECG) findings suggesting postinfarct angina. The ECG showed sinus tachycardia with Q waves, STsegment elevation and terminally negative T waves in lead II, III and aVF, suggesting remote inferior myocardial infarction. During the first hospitalisation the ECG also showed signs of pericarditis. Troponin

“…The traditional repair of a LV free wall rupture involves direct suturing with or without cardiopulmonary bypass and infarctectomy with a patch under cardiopulmonary bypass [2] [11]. The use of a sutureless technique or a patch-and-glue technique has recently become popular [4] [5].…”

A left ventricular (LV) free wall rupture is a highly lethal condition. A 75-year-old female who experienced chest pain was diagnosed as having an acute aortic dissection Stanford type A and underwent emergent surgery. Under cardiopulmonary bypass with LV venting through the right superior pulmonary vein, a proximal aortic stamp was formed. The patient was cooled, selective antegrade brain perfusion was performed, and a hemiarch repair was performed. After the patient was transferred to the intensive care unit, her blood pressure suddenly fell to 50 mmHg. She had a blowout rupture in the left ventricular anterolateral free wall. Since the bleeding hall was not large and the damage to the surrounding left ventricular tissue was not very wide, an off-pump multilayered sutureless repair was performed by using three layers of collagen fleece squares with fibrinogen-based impregnation (TachoComb; CSL Behring, Tokyo, Japan) and three layers of gelatin-resorcin-formalin glue reinforced by an equine pericardial patch (Xenomedica; Edwards Lifesciences, LLC, Irvine, CA). The blow-out rupture seemed to be caused by perioperative myocardial infarction generated by the compression of the left ventricular vent to the LV lateral wall. The patient was free from re-rupture or aneurysm enlargement. The thickness of the hemostatic material seemed to help control the bulging of the aneurysm and to prevent further LV aneurysm enlargement and re-rupture.
