Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Myocardial abscess may occur rarely as a complication of myocardial infarction. This case report is the first demonstration of a myocardial abscess at the site of acute myocardial infarction in a 38-year-old man diagnosed by transesophageal echocardiography and color-flow imaging. Transesophageal echocardiography was crucial in the timing of surgery. Three months later the patient was well. Our patient is the first reported survivor of this uncommon complication of myocardial infarction. |
