One of the most dangerous complications of acute myocardial infarction (MI) is external or internal left ventricular rupture. Despite multiple studies on early diagnostics and algorithms for routing of patients with complicated MI, mortality in this patient group remains extremely high. Presently available publications on the tactics of managing patients with cardiac rupture are very scarce, and expectancies of surgical treatment are questionable. The provided clinical example demonstrates effectiveness of early open-heart surgical intervention, which supports the requirement for aggressive tactics for patients with cardiac rupture.
